Suppose you have a bad guy about 1.5 behind you. Ok, you begin a gradual climbing turn and around 175-200 mph (depending on your a/c and the rate of closure of the pursuing a/c), you roll 180 degrees and pull hard.

Of all the planes in Aces High, which plane gets your nose through the 180 degree fastest?

Dont you love when you post a genuine question, and get these type answers?

I dunno the answer. but seems we are asking what plane in AH turns best at initial speed of 180mph ... I would guess something along the lines of an F6F maybe? Spit IX?

If I've undertood your post (not likely as usual

)
it's the combination of 2 mouvement : Roll + Pull

So it will be an averager between a fast roller plane (like the 190) and good turner (Zeke)

My guess would be the zeke ... but I can be wrong

I changed my mind I would say Spit with clipped wing.

According to the chart here it should roll very fast at this speed and turn still like a spit I guess.

I havent tested any of the planes but my money is on the hurricane 1 though the 109e4 would be my second choice.

believe it or not the bf110g-2 can be flipped pretty fast in the vertical

Flip reverse?

DadRabit · « **Reply #13 on:** January 16, 2003, 11:14:12 AM »

S!

I would say the spit 9 or even better the F6F. But would you really want to do a gradual turn and climb where you lose speed and distance between you and the enemy? I would roll and dive down then pull up to him. Oh well, just my thoughts
