Banning Planes

[trk29]

First in order to be able to boom and zoom you have to fly against people that know how to stay in air and not crash. As many hits as it takes some times to bring a aircraft down it may take you a few passes before you shoot them down, granted they don't get shot down by your team mate or crash because they stall.

What game are you playing? Because in my copy o BoP, the Soviet Planes: I-16, I-153, Yak-1, Yak-9, and Yak-3 all fly how they should. What do you have the sensitivity at? That might be your problem, because when flying the planes I've mentioned, you need the sensitivity raised at least 3 notches from the very top. It gives you a hell of an advantage, and better controls. Plus, none of those planes are hard to control.

Just some advise. You like what you like

i think this is stupid just use speed btw the i16 is in my opinion 1 of the worst planes ever built (although it looks cute)

I think it looks ridiculous (no offense to any I-16 lovers). It's a lot of fun to fly though. You easily outturn anybody. Until they figure out you're slow it's a joy. In arcade it's just as fast as any other plane though, as far as I know. I can imagine this kind of sucks. Just go one step up to Realistic .

This, hopefully, will be fixed in the patch.

I think that I have only come up against thess highly maneuverable bi-planes in Realistic with it's absolutely horrible lock-on mechanic which really eliminates a lot of the advantage of boom and zoom.
