very nice videos! thanks for posting. Impressive how deadly the FW can be when flown by good pilots. Do you guys go up against other squadrons, or have opfor ranks filled randomly in COOPs? Again, nice videos. ;)

Just an hour ago I was shot down by them - seeing SEVEN FW190s all firing MK108s behind me was almost worth dying. Sad that reds can only die and blaim each other on shouldershooting.

We often fly together on the UK-Dedicated servers as well. Formations of bombers or fighters...either way team tactics always work better than lone wolf style. It is of course harder to manage a group and that group needs to know how to function in air combat as a team player rather than the self centered approach....but once you overcome those things....teamplay will defeat all comers.

Easy to blame a Mk108 its sort of cheating ....isn't it ?? :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

How about blaming your self for allowing a 190 to get a shot on you in the first place?:-P

FYI a 190 with 20mm is ALL you need if you have the shot and don't forget the Dora in 4.08 doesn't have MK108s:cool:

When engaged with skilled pilots and being outnumbered (7 to 1 like mentioned) - there is never and will never be such thing as 'rambo'. You will get shot down. Period. The end. I'd blame myself for even entering such a server. ;)

Nice videos. Thanks for sharing.


I want to see them do it with P51s - against 190s, then we can talk. Anyone can kill with mk108. ;)

Got 'bounced' off some other server, so played on this one - cannot remember which server it was last night, but quiet a mess, and it might make a good movie too :cool:

Not that much loss of SA.. At first keeping track of 3 can be a problem, but there are ways around it.


BOOST... ??? Where's that button... :grin: :grin: :grin:
I've a tendency to avoid it as I run the engine at max anyway.

It does cause an overheat but it's very manageble and I highly recommend getting use to it. Also in a cruise mode I use Auto pitch but in a Fight I use manual which can ink you out some extra performance. Auto is okay but it can make a big difference in a Fight.

Don't wait another second and get your self a Tracker IR. Its a world of difference. Trust me.

TIR - Don't like it. The reason is that turning my head one way and my eyeballs looking the other way doesn't gel. I've tried TIR, and with a VR920, but the resolution is not good enough, and tracking a bit jerky. this all becomes a problem when rolling too fast, as orientation goes out the window.

I find at the moment I work best with a HAT, as I have a fixed reference point and it's easier to keep orientation. With regard to SA, I've honed down flicking the HAT here and there for a brief glimpse of the 'scenery'.
When a cheap enough type of VR920 arrives with a min resolution of 800x600 WITH good tracking I 'll do the switch.
Phew... that was a long story
:)

When you say you went back to a simplified model does that mean you don't fly full switch?

If that's true it's time to take off the training wheels. Flying full switch is much more rewarding than a lot of the circus AirQuake stuff we normally see. It becomes much more fun.

But hey thats just my opinion

I consider my self to be more of a FW driver more on the Anton side of things but I can certainly do well in the 51s and the 47. My favorite ride is the MKIII Mustang to be honest.

It's doesn't take much to transition to the 51 or 57 after flying the Anton. BTW good FWs drivers typically avoid the MK108s. The 20s hit plenty hard and carry a lot more ammo. They don't have the weight penalty either so your Anton can corner just a tad better.

The only thing I would say anyone going from a FW to a 51 would have troubles with is the Wing Shedding and the Blackout Problems.

Up high there really isn't an answer to the 47 from the German side. Running all day until your WEP runs out without overheating makes it a joy to fly. Even the top notch D9 is sucking wind up there.

What I would like to see is the Spit Drivers transition to the FW or the 109 for that matter.

Good joke :)
