hmmm, well, you've barely been here two weeks and you're making some interesting claims.
Everyone here knows what I use the Tiffie for... BnZ - whats the most common manoevre I see used against me by the better pilots? Barrell Rolls and Scissors. I see it ALL THE TIME.
How do I land my tiffie most of the time? 3 pointers is how. I don't remember the last time I had to push the nose down to land. Hell I even put a 262 down on a CV, try that as a nose down landing - you wouldn't stop in time. If you can't land like this you've got some serious issues.
As for the realism, well not too long ago HTC tweaked the roll rate in the tiffie. So I decided to do some research, and guess what - every piece of material I could find reinforced the AH peformance of the tiffie, roll rate, dive characteristics, zoom capabilities, gun platform stability etc. HTC nailed it. I don't know bout the rest of the aircraft but I can tell you the AH tiffie is what real Tiffie pilots said a tiffie was. That says to me HTC know what they're doing.
If people are 'running' - get a faster plane. Only a moron expects people to fly a P51, 109G10, or 262 even like Spit. If a BnZer decides to extend or even disengage, thats his perogative, thats why they fly the fast planes. If you insist on flying a turner don't expect us to engage in a turnfight just because you want it that way.
MS/EA etc deliberately go for simplified FMs, its how you get box sales. The average AH punter is a dead keen simmer, not your average CFS/Flight Sim 2002 player. If MS FMs are so toejam hot why are the 'realism' patches available for CFS2?
Humble? Maybe you should read your own posts. Its pretty obvious you ARE a "noob" when you can't perform a simple split-S in a spit. My god thats the easiest of manoevres. Saying how you're so experienced contradicts the fact you can't complete simple manoevres. Reading between the lines its obvious you're ham-fisted and are trying to blame this on AH.
Whos laughing at who? I'm laughing at the dweeb who can't perform a barrel roll, split S, or land. My god I've seen guys who haven't played as many sims as you claim you have and can perform these moves easily within the two weeks. LOL, what a loser.

Not to pee in anyones beer (or rootbeer would be morre realistic) but why is AH the most realistic flight sim?
a) According to who?
b) None of you have had experience flying WW2 planes so you're all talking out yer backsides when you say this.
c) I don't care if HiTech has flown a mustang for an hour, I doubt he tested it to the outer edge of it's flight envelope. Yeah right, with such a rare aircraft I doubt they let him take too many risks.
d) If everyones so good, why was I always asking people to turn back and fight instead of run.
e) Why does AH have the monopoly on realism? Have they found the holy grail of FM data information in WW2? Have they attained/stolen information which was not viable to public viewing?
f) So you're actually saying that Microsoft, EA and all other such companies, with mega spending power, could not buy better resources/testers/data then a relatively tiny company?
Please, be realistic.
The thing that puts me off are arrogant people, and I see plenty on this message board. Try being more humble for everyones sake. Nobody made you "judge of flight model realism" last night, so get off your high horses, or I'll continue laughing in your direction.
Flame away...I'm laughing at you too hard to even care.
