  1. by golly so simple a paramecium could have coded it
  2. not so sure he's a troll actually he just gets really excitable about ...all sorts of stuff if you want to expand your audience demographic this comes with the territory right?
  3. ahaha you see that is where you are wrong the tombcat is the most powerful aircraft ever made how can 500 mile range phonics missiles be obsolete LOL
  4. ive already taken a screenshot of this thread for posterity
  5. because consequences are at a premium in such inconsequential things as video games
  6. in the manual rp-5 azimuth range is stated to be 60 deg total. the scope has markings for 120 deg total. seeing as there is no azimuth control for the radar, what accounts for the extra 60 degrees?
  7. let me illustrate how the dcs modding scene works
  8. if you think they'll release any sooner than the last minute you're fooling yourself we've been taken along for this ride for how many years now you still haven't learned the basic mechanism where ambiguity is given as a prompt for you guys to deceive yourself without the issuer being expressly held accountable shame on you all
  9. the truth might lie somewhere in between, i think its completely possible that the 190 offers "decent" turning performance even at low speeds. the d-9 exhibits surprising low speed stability and its completely possible that the rate margin is low enough as to be wholly overshadowed by piloting techniques and errors. however, this is not to say that on a mathematical basis, the 190 would not inevitably lose out in an indefinitely long circle fight. it's just that in practice fights are much more dynamic than static str contests because you're always on some sort of timer and that will constantly skew the balance of the equation. the phrase you're clinging to "offering turning battle" does not in any way offer an explanation as to why it does so. "at minimum speed" is a great caveat here; any aircraft driven down to the slow end of the doghouse can "offer turning battle" because it's on the wrong side of the e-m graph and has no other choice when pressured.
  10. it is like a religion because the audience by and large operates not on what is true, but what they believe to be true. you can see it flare up here especially when f*lcon players start playing semantics games with actual sme's, and considering how annoying it already is even with the rules in place, i can only imagine it being worse if allowed free reign.
  11. people who cant draw the line between reality and video games are the real danger
  12. just set yourself to invincible i dont understand how its any cheaper than savescumming you can just count the number of impacts and thats the number of times you would have had to respawn
  13. if he wants to run a server with no jester option that's his prerogative isnt it? whatever happened to you guys' "more options is better" argument lmao
  14. while it's a smaller market, the retention dynamics are different because the playerbase is in for the long haul. their core values and consequently their expectations are also very different and will be at odds with the high turnover console mainstream audience. the two demographic sets run on completely different timescales for everything, from gameplay session length to developer response times.
  15. well you're dealing with the side of the playerbase that doesnt actually care about the airplane they just want stuff
  16. and then you get online and all of a sudden your paint-by-the-numbers bfm tactics evaporate well i can see this being a good plan to fleece people who will never actually fight online
  17. i hate the f-16 its the ar-15 of the airplane world but nothing made me love the f-16 more than the fa-18 with its sorry excuse for a hotas control please deliver me from having to push mfd buttons already
  18. few things in life are solved with votes and petitions
  19. not exactly the most precise writing but im sure the article meant that they're filming fa-18 footage which you mistook as still being on the subject of the f-14.
  20. where would they get the money to take out a notoriously expensive to maintain aircraft aircraft to fly after how long in storage? say we humor the conspiracists that the f-14 were not all gutted -- would you really expose such a deception for the sake of a movie? none of it adds up for me
  21. well the thread title is misleading, this is just another balance thread in disguise
  22. 1. go back to your cj discord room to cry 2. get cj'd by your buddies about how you're right and ed is wrong 3. come back with argument about how the rules should be bent "for balance" friend i hope you're not mistaking agm-88s for sparrows
  23. hooo really strong credentials right there lmao i am shaking in awe if you actually observed anything in the game industry is that balance is a farce and has no bearing on the longevity (rather, the lack thereof) of a game so dont even try to use this canned argument
  24. wags even gave you a 6 hour warning you missed the train. this is life.
  25. flew with the hatswitch for a year or so, it was manageable as long as you kept the fight at medium ranges. small spot size at long ranges and high angular rates at close ranges both work against hatview. you can get good with hatview, but long story short is that trackir is a real enabler for the wvr arena. get it and dont look back.
