Well Karnak, I dont count the Mosquito as a fighter. Perhaps a good night fighter sometime, but not really a fighter in our environment. Sooner or later, the same would be applied to the 110G.

I wasn't implying anything. I'm "treat others the way you like to be treated" kind of guy and was pointing out the way you had treated people before who had made the same kind of question about a plane's performance in AH. Just showing that there was a reason for posts like the one Staga posted...Why do you expect mercy when you yourself give none?

Is it just my "feeling" that it's too light or does someone else have it too?

Not a whine, just an inquiry


I don't see the rant you are talking about here. There was absolutely no reason to call him on this. What exactly makes your post any different than his? And how you can be so sure StSanta had seen Pyro's statement about D-11's lightness? I think judging from StSanta's post it's pretty obvious that he hadn't seen it or didn't remember reading it at the time he made that post otherwise it would have been very different or not posted at all.

Be advised, the Bf 110G-2 was pulled for a quick remodel job.

One change was to add drag for the underwing ordnance, which was not factored in for the original release.

Overall, the 110 is now somewhat less potent than it was on the first day of the new release.

Who i asking for "mercy"? You arent hurting me, nor do I care what you may think. People in the AH community know that i am not some whiner.  

You state that it is obvious that santa didnt know that Pyro had announced that that the D11 was going to be fixed? here is the post where he stated it. the date is in June. http://www.hitechcreations.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=28193 Not only that, but this was news that was discussed in the arena's, and seversal other threads. I believe he had an idea. Alot of LW guys were a bit sour about how the D11 handled. ( I imagine you were too)

Here is his post in August http://www.hitechcreations.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=25997 which is titled the "jugfire". The title doesnt lead a Jug nut like me to believe its just a meager question.  Besides, I like santa, my comment was in jest. he got pissed at me and replied and I answered again. It is old news, that you have drug up to strengthen staga's slander of me.  My question of the 110's performance was on day one, and it is relevant. More than I was curious about its performance.  I didnt throw eggs at any LW flyers, just questioned the AC.  

Widewing is right, the AC has already changed, or so it seems. The thing still performs VERY well at low altitude. I think it accelerates too well under 10K, and I think its top speed is too high (significantly) at all altitudes. I have not read anywhere in all my searching where any model of 110 would do 379 TAS at 22K. Nor Do I believe that it would do 345 TAS at 4K. However, I cant find any document that states the figures of the G2, only the C series and the G4. I could be proven wrong, and that will be OK with me if I get to see the data.

...Nor do I want to hurt you in any way. But as you can see I just used the same impression in my statement as you used in your post...I gather that that mercy plea was directed to me and Staga.

Well, there isn't a single reply by Santa in that thread and I think it's fairly possible to forget one sentence in one month. :) And if it was discussed or not doesn't make it a fact that he had payed attention on it. Well, I think this is pretty pointless when we can ask Santa himself about this. :)

I don't remember if "LW-guys" were sour or not. But I remember that I wasn't suspecting that anything was wrong in the D-11 before pyro made that post. When I read that I was like "Oops, they had a little snafu, glad they found it and it is been fixed." It was so great to hear that the FMs in general recieved attention and found inaccuracies were being fixed that D-11 being too light didn't really bother me. :)

I understand what you are saying about the title. Tough, I think it was made to draw attention to the subject and well you know Santa and his funny banter on channel 1 :) I think it was just Santa's kind of title :) and I'm sure he tought that "Not a white, just an inquiry." in the end of the post would do the trick. ;) The fact that he got pissed just enforces my belief that he hadn't seen/didn't remember Pyro's post about D-11 being too light.

Ammo, I think of you as one of the good guys and respect you as an opponent. ;) That old thread just came to my mind right away when I saw this thread...before I read Staga's reply. Both, Santa and you talked about maneuverability for example. I just don't see how you replied something like that without any smilies to Santa (you said it was a jest) and then think of your thread as different.

Im finding it hard to find data on the G2 also ammo but consider this:

earliest 110C-1 top speed 336mph with 1,050hp engines

all G series had 1,475hp engines and substantial improvements from an aerodynamic point of veiw.

the G4 had radar antenae and equiptment (plus supplimentary fuel tanks i think, but not sure) which reduced its speed and increased its weight considerably


as to this non-productive attack on stsanta just because he has said something about your post being almost identical to his and saying just that why dont you consider your reply to his post?

To me it appears to be designed purely to annoy him even if it is said in jest:

"Oh no brother bluto!.. Those P47 guys are just too mean. It cannot be true that their ugly green plane is superior to our manly Messerschmidts...!!!!

ammo "

Why dont you just admit this situation is pretty much identical only reversed and you have had a taste of what annoys us.

we dont want unfair advantage, we dont consider ourselves superior (btw when we joke about this its designed to take the piss out of the german officer/SS stereo type) but what we do want to see is what everyone can read about, and that is that much of the war as the germans introduced new aircraft and weapons they were excellent. The fact they held back the allies for so long and managed to inflict damage and surprise our forces time and again under such immense pressure from all sides should be recognised.
Im not German, Im British.Im proud of what we did and I would in no way ever want to praise or help the cause of that hideous regeme.When you drift away from joking to imply we are some sort of supporters of that then you make us angry.Like ive said time and time again, I like the planes because as a kid i made those models, I like the bad guys in star wars, I liked the Romans the vikings etc etc and in games i like to play those parts for the fun derived from it.
when you imply anything deeper it just pisses me off.

and lets just drop this nationalistic crap. Ill accept im weaponalistic(? :D) but only because I want to see just why they were so damn hard to finish off when they faced enormous odds.
Im in stsantas squad and he isnt a whiner nor is he a nazi or any of this crap hes accused of being.Hes just another player of this game who happens to like these planes and probably for the same reasons i do.

Ammo just a test: in Starwars movie, which did you prefer? the X-wing or the Tie-fighter? :D

oh and by the way nice spin deftly turning the subject away from the G2 to the new subject 'persecution of ammo by stsanta' and your innocence in the whole sorry subject.:)

your veiws on my test please?

What is all this? What spin? I was defending againt those statements against me. Nobody else is going to defend ammo. And no-one is attacking santa, no-one. You are making more out of this than needs to be. Its getting rediculous. Before you edited this post and added all this fluff, I could understand but after all the pointed agumentative crap, you lost me.

As per your test, I got different numbers, but essentially the same margins. I configured the AC clean, 25% fuel. I got 3100 FPM climb while you got 2750 loaded, sounds about  right for me. When testing max speeds, I give them a little help by diving them and letting them settle.  I never said that the 110 was superior to the P-47, or the P-38. Especially at higher alts where my main ride dominates:). Again, back to the subject. I think it accelerates to fast at low alt for a heavy twin attack AC, I think its top speed is high (but I cant prove it). However I would think that of the numbers published on all the 110 series, we would see the highest ones somewhere. If indeed the G2 actually was pushing 380 TAS then I think we would have read this somewhere.  Here is hoofs G2/R3 page which is based on the performance of the WB's 110G2/R3 http://www.rdrop.com/users/hoofj/Bf110G2.htm

the max speeds listed on this page are in IAS (I dont recall WB's having a TAS indicator). He shows the 110 at 300 IAS @ 5K, I just ran my test again (climb to 8K, dive to 5K wep, and sustain for 4 minutes. The TAS shows 345, while the IAS shows 325. Try it yourself. I got a film to send to you if you like.

Now that is for the WB's 110, which was designed by the same folks that bring you AH. They do alot of research and put alot of effort into their FM's, then and now. That doesnt mean they can be a little off.

here is some more stuff I found---

I dont have any nationalistic agenda hazed, and I hold no grudges. I dont care why you like like LW AC. Its enough that you (or anyone) spend your hard earned money to enjoy this game.  I like the p47 and the 56th FG for what they were, a piece of valiant history. I like WW2 AC. I like it so much that I have spent as much as $250 a month to fly them virtually (no kidding).

No hard feelings here at all, I still think the 110G2 is off, but, as you say its not exactly the hottest ride in the arena. But as long as the AC are "right", not "hot", thats what important to me.

see ya in the arena, you to wmaker.
