Welcome madrebel, I hope you don't fully abandon that "other game" yet.

You are also welcome to Rookland on my behalf.

Well, no matter where you go, dont go Bishop! lol. But join a squad, a J/G if you like 109s. May I suggets KG200 though? Im sure nonsense uses fighters a lot as well, and he is a great commander. If you are a fan of B-17s however come with us at the 303rd! All nonsense has is MY old bird 'Flak Wolf'! Bloody theif... lol j/k. Nonsense is great. But join a squad when you enter the game, meantime, we would love to hear more of your thoughts on the 109. I am currently experimenting with the Emil, and am finding it decidedly lethal, especially against late-war spitfires! As long as you get them while they are turning, they are as good as dead!


For those of you who enjoy the Emil as I do, I find a great trick offensively is to slash across a fighter while its turning. I find spitfires especially, 16s are weakest in this, but their pilots tend to be... 'cocky'. They think a 109 cant turn inside them, and wont waste the ammo by slashing. When the see that it is an Emil, they dont even bother trying to avoid getting hit. Just slash across their nose, fire for a second or two, and then duck him. If you are accurate enough, they wont survive! Defensively, I like to cut the throttle and roll alot. Its not that effective, but since I am having such severe rudder trouble, its about all I can do.

You're welcome to duel my Spit 16 in yer Emil anytime :D
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

Thats not fair! Your GOOD!!! Those 'Dirty Luftwaffe Tricks' only work on Spit Dweebs!

note: just because you fly a spit, doesnt mean you are a spit dweeb. You must be crappy pilot who can only kill things because your plane rocks.

not leaving 'that other game' until they turn the power off. i am a little frustrated with the recent 'enhancements' though and have been meaning to give AH an honest go for awhile.

might be fun to bring some of my jg51 boys over for some squad fun once in  awhile or something, i dont know.

anywho, wish this game and 'that other game' combined dev houses to create the ultimate ww2 prop sim ;).

Hey, am I the ONLY one who flies the Emil regularyly??? Ive seen every other plane in the game (EVERY SINGEL ONE) flown by someone else more than once, EXCEPT the 109E! I have never EVER seen anyone (Friend or foe) land voctories or even fly one. Does anyone else fly it regularly?

I guess because all u see in MA is late war rides, and the Emil is outclassed
in almost every way that some people dont even bother to fly it.....

Don't salute 'em unless they flew it well :t

Some folks take up the 109E or the C202 or the P40B/E because they hear other folks raving about 'em, then they really haven't quite learned the intricacies of flying them. If they're free bait, snap 'em up. If they're not bad then give 'em a salute.

saw one E4 in FT today also, and I shot him down (we were playing trains over the pond  lol)

about the F4 and G2 and their weak differences on climb, I'd like to say that 100hp is nothing, something like 7% of the total, wich is very little in an air combat. I think that a very small error in your climb angle choice or too much fuel loaded can cost way more.

The F4 is a great ride on MA because it has very decent turns and speed, and is forgiving on stalls. Many people don't know the plane at all and most noob pilots in their la7 and spit16 want to turn with you, and I often gladly accept their invitations niark niark. (BTW was it facing the spit5 or spit9 in RL ? poor spit5 pilots)

And once I made a good ride I get a spit14 with the perks and start freaking the runners (they see you coming fast on 6 but they don't believe it !!! too funny !!. but it is out of subject)
