  1. if youre living hand to mouth you have more important things to be spending your time on than video games
  2. 100$ for lifetime repairs is real cheap have you seen irl lifetime operation costs vs flyaway costs?
  3. at this point i think you're more concerned with histrionics than actually figuring out how to fly the i-16 you cry about other people not being informative enough, and it's true we have little choice but to shoot in the dark here if you want things to be different, you need to supply us with actually useful information to diagnose in the first place, and for the record writing "im already doing everything right" is not workable information submit a replay or video with the rctrl+enter control monitor on so we can see what sorts of inputs you're making because im pretty sure whatever you're doing wrong is something you're not even conscious of
  4. i dont buy those gimmicks. if you have the foresight to preslat a yank then you could have just planned a better trajectory in the first place
  5. no the gau-8 is garbage and obsolete for any mbt after the t-55 guns are for killing stuff that aren't worth dropping explosives for, knock it off with the stupid tank buster meme
  6. friend i think you will find with a bit of practice its tendencies become rather predictable, you just have to learn them. yes aircraft of its vintage were quite unsafe by todays standards, remember it was quite expected to have to be some sort of daredevil to go up in one of those contraptions. even civil planes like the geebees were straight up killers
  7. isnt the f-4e also slated to be an 80's version?
  8. potent is a vague word, nowhere does it imply that it has to be better in every aspect in real combat dogging your opponent through the turns is a good way to die and when history refers to a prop as good and potent it generally means it's good at engaging and disengaging if you look at propfighter development they were always splitting hairs over single digit mph increases in top speed, not turn rate the team with the more survivable airplanes tended to be able to overwhelm the enemy with numbers basically turning is for losers
  9. sure its not axis duplications?
  10. makes no sense to me, how can you have 'too little rudder authority' as you describe, yet strong enough to make you groundloop? i think its not the rudder at work here. why dont you submit a replay of your attempts because words are not working
  11. the systems being simpler to manufacture irl doesnt translate it to being easier to faithfully reproduce the behavior of in software. the more primitive an aircraft is, the more it borrows on natural systems, and on the computer, unlike the real world, nature isn't a nice, bug-free, ready-to-use resource. you're just trading one form of complexity for another.
  12. if jinks didnt throw off the attackers aim they wouldnt be done
  13. it sounds like you're being too gentle with it, and so the yaw is allowed to fully develop. once the yaw noticeably develops like that, it's already too late for any correction other than aborting the takeoff attempt, there's no point in even trying to 'salvage' the roll. check the yaw immediately if there's even a hint of onset with a quick, authoritative stab of the pedals to full deflection, then let go and assess for new yaw trend.
  14. i dont know what youre doing but its perfectly controllable taxiing other people can work this aircraft just fine, i dont believe they are superhuman
  15. it's very doable, make sure you're using the right amount of throttle, else you'll have too much or too little torque for your rudder to deal with. smoothly throttle up until the manifold pressure needle points to the 12 o clock position and keep it there. your goal is to get rolling straight enough for long enough time to get your rear lifted into the air, after that you'll be more or less safe from any bad behavior. the uncommanded yawing is characteristic of all taildraggers, you will have to dance on the rudder pedals a fair bit. the sooner you start to counter the less trouble you will have.
  16. new guys dont read existing threads they just make new ones
  17. you are only imagining success, reality will be you eating flaming dookie immediately and your friends never wanting to do it again because its such a waste of time and playerslots to sink into one slow and vulnerable airplane and you will cry to the server admin and all the forums about how disappointing and unfair all of it is the only place this would fly are private pve missions
  18. keep practicing lmao its about flying with your left hand, not your right.
  19. mig-21s were too few and valuable for the vpaf to commit to dogfights, they exclusively used hit and run attacks.
  20. dont know whats to discuss about this lmao just sticky and lock its like going to the ocean to pan for gold all youll get is salt
  21. the base expectation revolves around just exploring the aircraft -- the avionics, the flight model. these are often complex systems and its expected that simply learning and building proficiency with these systems already constitutes the bulk of gameplay. while some modules come with missions, in general its treated more as a bonus for demonstration purposes. so yes its more like fsx than il2.
  22. fantasy module smh you guys are gonna ruin dcs
  23. internet protip: if it's such big news that you've seen it it's big enough news everyone has already seen it
  24. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=269264 telling others to read when you dont read the forums smh also yeah dont clickbait titles
  25. nukes arent something you just plug n play into a jet by bolting it under the fuselage. there's a political aspect of poking sensitive us assets into an advanced euro aircraft at play here.
