Hurricane speed

Insuber · #1 10-22-2011, 07:22 AM

Yesterday on ATAG I ran on a 109 E4 for 10 minutes at full speed, low alt, with a Hurricane at my 6. The Hurri gained slowly on me, despite the auto prop pitch did it's job correctly in keeping the rpm at 2300. Another flaw of FM?

Cheesehawk is correct. The Hurri will hang on the tail but you really can't keep up even if you score astern shots, and the climb is deadly to follow. I break away myself.

But shouldn't be the 109 a bit faster than the Hurricane? At least all pilot accounts whatever side I've read seem to concord that the Hurri was really slow compared to the 109 ...

Well firstly the FM's are wrong so expect change, but also I only said 'hang', and that'll be for a short time, and when the 109 driver get's his prop working he'll pull away with ease.

were you damaged in anyway? was the ball centered?

if thsoe too come to your advantage... the only plausible explanation is cheeting.

10 mins would be enough for you to gain a good 5 km from him.

Could be but who knows. Yesterday there had been some complaints about a guy who managed to pk one player 4 times in a row on ATAG server. But perhaps he was just a good shot.

Or somebody just made it up.

Anyhow I had a similar experience with a Hurri on my tail while I really was at max speed for th 109 (that what I obtained during extensive offline testing).

Perhaps I slighty won on him but not fast enough for him not to spray me with his guns. While the 109 should be remarkably faster.

Yesterday I did some testing with the rotol Hurri and I managed to get her to about 420 kmh which seems pretty historic. What appeared unhistoric to me is that the boost cut out had little to no effect on the speed while it should imho.

Ive not had any problems with outrunning the reds recently.
In fact its been really great. We'll be doing the average airfield raid, find Tommies in the air with us, dive for the deck towards France, turn on WEP, and watch the Tommies fade away in the distance as we cruise at 490kph.
Really a lot of fun! lol

must be nice to have the faster plane and winge about how you get caught up .

when in fact you should be caught up by ever spit in the game . i can imagen the moaning then , probably why the spits are so slow . lol

i may of been a little out on the speed but still dead on with the german flyers moaning ( not all just the select few ) if they are moaning about a hurricane that can only do 260 keeping up with them

would be post after post if the spit could do 283 .

as for your other remark fu
