163 PERKS

[Dadsguns]

Never seen so much whining about ramming 163s....


In fact it's hardly ever happened to me in all the years of AH flight. Ever. In any version of AH. I recall maybe once or twice it has ever personally happened to me while I was strat bombing. More often they'll blow me up, set me on fire, and so forth. If they actually RAM me chances were I took no damage.

Now, I have done a few accidental rams in 163s before, but every time it's been to no detriment of the bombers. More than likely I'm shooting them as I accidentally ram them, and the BULLETS do the damage.


Due to the lag difference and the different locations of different planes on their own front-end displays, it is nearly impossible to intentionally RAM an enemy bomber -- and if you devoted the time to try it you have no guarantee you'd do any damage to the bomber when you rammed it.


Foolish request. A not-so-common whine in disguise. -1000.

I agree.  Sounds like someone inexperienced in a 163 locked up going to fast and rammed him once or twice and he thinks somehow that is a valid "tactic",,,,, I don't know of any fellas that would up a 163 and take the "chance" at ramming someone for a kill, just not worth it.

if your in buffs and youve allready droped bombs. keep the 163 in your sights and instead of trying to gun him down. outmanuever him. use your rudder to kick some hard turns out of the 163s line of fire. the rocket is usually going too fast to make a quick path adjustment. so pretty much if you can bank correctly on each pass it makes on you for 4 mins. then you'll be safe.
you can do the same thing with drones too. just make sure to pay attenchian to how far your banking away from your drones so they dont blow up.


if you still have your bombs, then the buff will bank about the same way the 163 can at high speeds lol (heavy buffS) so in that case, the only thing you can really do is gun it out or hope its a fool behind the controls and not a vet.


hope ive been some help <S>

well its good your not trolling him, and im not trolling you but that one part on keeping him out of the sights is a good idea.

the 163 moves so fast that if someone banks hard to the left/right the good ol' rocketbutt will have already zoomed past you and maybe (if your lucky) you will have gotten a shot at him and hes gonna be missing half a wing. this usually works for me but i guess were all different when it comes to killing a 163

you just found one i never really cared too much for perks except to waste them foolishly by rolling scissors in 163s and 262s vs enemy prop planes (surprise, both the 163 and 262 can rolling scissor quite well with flaps down)

Just do away with the 163's.....don't need them in this game at all. Never did anything to speek of in the real war (8 kills total)
