C2 Drivers

[oTRALFZo]

Did some research on the C2 in game in particular, the 205 mod. I must say its a very sexy plane.
I took out both models last night and though frustrating with the MGs, I need the cannons to survive a bit longer in the air.

Although for the basics of keeping it fast and not falling into the trap of using it as a turn fighter, is there any advice people can give me when flying it?

Fuel loadout: Does the C2 burn fuel? I noticed that its a tub with full tanks.
Convergence: What do you think is best to take shots at and do the cannon rounds drop significantly? (keep in mind I'm used to the Hispanio lasers).

Despite the fact that I get the feeling I am going to make even more trips to the tower, I'm really fascinated by it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

The best thing about the 205 is that you get to wear the leopard skin. Nothing says "pimp" more than a good quality leopard skin on the dashboard. This alone merits taking it for a ride occasionally.

The 205 is an excellent plane for its time-frame which is mid-war. Later is it out classed by the speed monsters. I consider it as a 109G2/6 variation - speed/climb performance numbers are quite close, same 20mm cannons (but you get 2 of them, which is a huge improvement). The 13mm mg are quite effective as far as 13mm goes, partially because of the nose mounting (costs some fire rate, but good trade off). The 109s feel more nimble and are much better at low speeds.

Fuel capacity is decent for most action. You can easily get more than 30 minutes out of it with even minor throttle/rpm management - no escort fighter, but more than enough for the arenas. Take 100% - this is not a P47N flying tanker, 100% means just a little more than 100 gallons and saving ~30 gallons in weight by taking 75% is negligible.

Your biggest asset is that people are not used to fighting the Maccies so they will often misjudge you. Bring a big purse to put the perks in.

It's a sweet plane, don't be afraid to turn it.  It accelerates pretty well so if you see yourself losing position just nose down a tad, hit the wep, and string them out until you have a bit of separation to turn back into them.

Here, you probably won't learn much from this other than I am a bad pilot and worse shot, but it may provide some confidence in the plane against the more turny birds

As always right click -> save as.  I would recommend setting the "look up" head position once it loads to something other than the windscreen frame.

i've never flown either of them. i do know there's a couple of guys in mw that can turnfight those things unbelievably though.

202...convergence at 225....75 fuel for base to nme base fighting....50 if fight is closer.  Saddle up on them and spitball them to death...its great.

Keep it in the vertical. that means nose  up or down and keep it fast.

you guys wanna see someone that can do amazing things in those dam 202's?

look up llgaf. he's a cool guy, and is an excellent pile-it in that thing.

The C.202 is an excellent turning plane.  The C.205 isn't quite as good, but still good.  I don't mind taking on most planes other than the likes of Zeros, F4F's, and F2A's in turn fights with either one.  They handle well in most speed ranges and keep energy quite nicely.

The biggest joy in C.202 is having a SpitXVI or N1K2 engage you in a turning match. Those 2 minutes till he realizes he can't shake you, till you finally managed to make him crash into the ground, after you've spent your entire ammo load trying to kill him, are great.
