stick to your little roads in sweden, leave the carriers to american airpower.
-
Aardvark confirmed
-
And where did I dispute that?
well you brought up the land war in the east ;p, not sure if you meant the allies taking on japan or the russians taking on the ussr, so i went with the latter stating that there would be no land war in the east if it wasn't for america's economy.
-
The land war in the East too? Surely it was a mighty machine, but please ;)
yes seeing how marshal zhukov himself said if it weren't for american supplies the ussr would have fallen seeing how it enabled them to focus on vital tank and plane production, since they didn't have America's industrial capacity.:music_whistling:

and a A1 Skyraider would be more fun than a P47 ;)
ahh, i can picture it now.........loaded up with napalm and rockets, hearing choppers and jets whiz around you as you take off from that carrier and head to the coastline..............
-
I can't help but feel this is being over complicated than what it really is.
-
All I want to know is will a 2 manned F-14 be double points and can I get the Order of Lenin for sinking the carrier.
good luck with that:gun_smilie:

you dont haveto prove anything it is well known that the mustang is the definitive team based superiority figter. because of one of the highest sustained top speed , dive acceleration and fuel economy at high speed.
you cant beat mustang team in a sustained battle if they have more fuel. keyword sustained.
I agree 100%

The P-51D can escape a K4 and Dora as long as you've got the altitude to dive + a base to run too. After a high speed dive the K4 doesn't even hold a candle to the P-51 in a zoom neither does the Dora. Mustang high speed roll rate is far superior to even that of the Dora, but the Dora doesn't break its wings like the P-51 when gentle pulling on the stick ;). Honestly as an advocate for 75"Hg boost, the tools are already here to defeat the Germans, its just people aren't using them. But that doesn't change the fact that the P-51 should have its rightful boost. A squad of 2 P-51s in theory should be untouchable because the moment you utilize the superior dives and zooms of the P-51 it completely negates the Bf-109K4s turning and speed advantage. And of course same thing would apply to the P-47 but at a higher altitude. But for some reason in DCS people love TNB regardless of which plane they are flying.
Me-262 should be limited to a ratio of props to jets. 1:20 seems fair so on a full server on Burning Skies you can have a flight of 2 Me-262 which would be a real challenge to defeat. Unfortunately I have a feeling we are going to see entire teams Me-262 against an equal number P-51s and Spitfires. As people will always flock towards the better plane, hence why you find more K4 than anything else.
The Tempest would be a nice addition as a Me-262 killer. Or even better a P-47M cleared for 76"Hg @ rougly 2955HP :)
A p-47m? It'll be over for the lufts then! lol but even at high speeds you can turn with a k4 and even if he turns tighter with the speed you have you can just pull a high yo-yo, I'm seeing stang drivers get better though, and rolling in a dive always gets the 109s off of you.

Been following this thread for awhile thought I'd add a little spice of my own:
Yes the stang has been getting its nose bloodied for awhile now, that's mostly do to lone wolfing though, but speaking from personal experience, if flown at altitude with speed and with a wingman your odds will skyrocket, we've achieved many kills for fewer losses, (i can prove it) i never hop on the ww2 servers without my good friend and wingman.
As far as the jet menace goes the stangs and jugs would just tail them back to their airbases and nail them taking off or landing, so much so that the jet bases had to have fws patrol above and with increased aaa. The engines were tempermental and would flame if mishandled and im sure going hard at the throttle all the time will reduce the endurance of the plane as well. It also turns like a shopping cart. I feel though the servers should limit the me-262 to 2 or 4 planes to simulate the rarity of coming across one in a dogfight.
Now with addition of the jug, people will be more inclined to do ground attack missions in the game now, and I can see attacking airbases in the future more of a reality now, since doing so in the stang is suicide thanks to its glass jaw engine, but thats mostly due to the accurate aaa that wasn't in ww2, (but the 88 and flak 38 will be dangerous nevertheless)

Well even tho its hard to see, its definitely a instrument panel from a Later D block, 30+. Most likely from a D-40... unless the K-14 and Tail warning radar are retrofitted.
D-30+ instrument panel
i see i see, the book said it was a d-25 but books arent always right, thanks for clearing that up.
-
-
And it just magically disappears, alright fellas Hang on
-
number 25 is the alarm for the rear warning
-
-
bah! trying to upload it from my pc
-
Will it get a tail warning receiver like the stang? I'm reading a book called dogfights: greatest air duels of ww2 and they show a diagram of the d-25 with a lamp just like the mustang
-
ha! if we had a p-51h there would be total and complete air dominancy.
-
Discussions like these are important and they raise taboos that the lufts don't want, it's a shame the allied side got silenced in the forums. If someone feels something is wrong it's his right to point it out, if the others feel differently it's their right to say so as long as it doesn't devolve into mud flinging, grape brought up an excellent point that needs to be checked out by the devs regardless of what anyone says. Also why is it whenever I post I feel like I'm walking on thin ice.

So it's settled, if the Germans get a ta-152 then I want a p-47M and a p-38L
-
There's a bunch of discussions going on speculating the su-22 and the mig-23 in the forums, they've garnered the attention of a lot of people
-
Did they say it shared common components?
or did it share features etc.
Exactly what did it say.
Since if its simply shared features that could mean its a 2 seat aircraft or a Swing Wing design (or both).
Don't remember exactly
-
Source on the LN comment?
And only thing "available to make" that has commonality with the F14 is the F4, now will it be a J/S or an E, both have commonality in different ways.
And yes people will flip their sh!t if it turns out to be not a RED plane. "not that LN is to blame" but the need for a True DCS Red fighter is way past critical.
Yeah I can back it up, I'm at work right now on my phone so give me about 5 hours lol
-
Yeah I just figured I'd throw that out there since there's an uproar over the other Russian aircraft
P51 not fun due to so many problems.
in DCS: P-51D Mustang
Posted
the mustang in il2 bodenplatte is a very competitive plane, with the 150 octane fuel it can hold more than its own against contemporary german fighters.
