Strong05 Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 How well will it do against P-51, Spitfire, or the Thunderbolt? 5800X3d, 32GB DDR4@3400, 6800 xt, Reverb G2, Gunfighter/TMWH
razo+r Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 If the pilot knows what he's doing then it will do well enough.
DefaultFace Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 We'll have to wait and see but I doubt it will be very good for anything but hit and run considering how the Dora fares currently. 9./JG27 "If you can't hit anything, it's because you suck.

msalama Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 But f*n-A, we're getting the radial-engined Tommy's scourge now. Ain't this something??? The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.
msalama Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 how the Dora fares currently So according to you that's kind of bad? #LUFTYWHINERS The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.
msalama Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 Worse than Fw-190D. Boo-hoo The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.
some1 Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 Well, it's the variant that should be in DCS in the first place, considering the '44 setting.

DD_Fenrir Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 Apparently the short coupled nature of the prop-cog on the Anton is what gave it such a sparkling rate of roll, something that was lost to some degree on the Dora and apparently lamented by pilots obliged to upgrade. By most accounts it should be a very close match numbers wise to the Spitfire LF.IX with an edge in top speed but otherwise pretty close in speed, climb and acceleration - dive notwithstanding, points to the Anton here - with variances at certain altitude bands. Spit should have the advantage in a sustained turn fight but the Anton can change direction much quicker. All in all a pretty sound match! Against the Pony, the Antony's gonna have a climb rate advantage and the roll rate is still better but you won't be out running or out-diving the pony. Turn rates by most accounts should be very similar until the P-51 drops some flaps.

Baco Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 In lower altitudes should be a hand full for the Pony and Spit... now at high altitudes you radder have a Dora...
Flying-Kane Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 What about MW-50 and Notleistung (1,42 ata > 1,56/1,65 ata)? Antons never had MW50, either C3 injection (Jabos) or Ladedruckerhöhung (Jäger).

rogonaut Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 (edited) So according to you that's kind of bad? #LUFTYWHINERS Boo-hoo it will not fare well against ufos^^ :D its gonna be interesting none the less and it seems a well made model, looking forward to it. Edited May 17, 2019 by rogonaut
MadCat1381 Posted May 18, 2019 Posted May 18, 2019 It will have the C3 injection system according to the text in the ED-shop. As most fights in DCS happen at a quite low altitude, the Anton should be somewhat competitiv. I guess staying below 6000m will be mandatory.
Bex Posted May 18, 2019 Posted May 18, 2019 :pilotfly:I´m glad to see that the cockpit instruments are much better build than at d9 version. No need for a instrument modification. cool :D
fencible Posted May 18, 2019 Posted May 18, 2019 At last, this is the proper FW match-up for the the Spit on Normandy map. I think that the P51D will have advantages over it, although it is a very tough plane with good armour. This will not be a turn fighter, as most know, but in the hands of a specialist it will be a frightening energy fighter. So much fire-power that head-on attacks with the Anton should be avoided at all cost by adversaries. Hammer-heads for quickest reverses. We will see some fine aces arise flying this module. This, along with the terrific little I-16, will ignite the WWII online servers at last. And imagine a mix of Antons down low, with Doras, and/or 109s giving high cover. Now there's a scary thought!
msalama Posted May 18, 2019 Posted May 18, 2019 it will not fare well against ufos^^ :D Was perhaps a bit salty up there, but it's funny nonetheless how all WW2 simmers always complain about their crates being nerfed and the enemy's craft being overmodelled, regardless of what the devs do or don't do. So the best policy is of course to ignore the lot, isn't it? The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.
