experienced 110pilots here?

If you get half a second time on the enemy fuselage you have the opponent out of the fight, if not going down in flames.

P.S: as we are at it, anybody knows how to skip and low level bomb online in the 110? I think I used every single bomb fuse setting available but those buggers simply won't explode when dropped below 750 meters.

thats interesting, cause i have no problems to shred off a spitfire's wing with the E4...sure it doesnt loose its wings as easy as the hurri does, but it still happens quite often when i shoot at spits....though i have to commit, that while playing offline, i had much more of those incidents than playing online.

FYI, it takes only 2 x SC50 to sink a tanker, so with a 109/b you can take out 2 ships skip bombing.

So for the 110 i always take 2 SC250 against ships with the low-level fuse and the SC500's only against ground targets.

40% fuel is enough for 40min, so thats what i take for a short hop over the channel.

For speed keep your rpms low, pp around 10:00 o'clock after accelerating, watch for the markings 1', 30' and d at the ata and rpm instruments.

My usual attack profile on the atag-server is: low level (<100m) to the ships, attacking two in one run, extend out of the vicinity,

check for pursuit: yes -> homeward, keeping the speed up. no -> shallow climb over englands back country to 5000 m and loitering for targets.

250KG low level never worked for me online. Spot on towards the rest, pretty in line in regards to my own tactics, with a bit of airfield supression thrown in between when boredom gets the better of me. Mostly rather short lived, however, lol.

you guys really manage to get 440kph out of the 110 in real level flight??

if thats really possible i have to practise a lot...
i trim the 110 as often as i can, but is it possible to trim the ailerons as well?up till now, i have only trimmed the rudder and the elevators

It's possible to trim ailerons, but should not be nessecary.

The trick really is a combination of low fuel, perfect trimming (constant trimming while accelerating helps), low drag radiator profile, no maneuvers and a bit of a descent in the beginning to get up to speed, then holding it. If you do it right Spits and Hurries will have a very very hard time catching you, if at all.

This is for a plane without bombs, of course.

[David198502]

will try and practise a lot then...

what about the rpms and ata values...?
i usually try to maintain 2200-2300rpm with a prop pitch of about 10 o clock,radiators as much closed as possible and the same with oil rads.

Full throttle with pitch in in the 2200, 2300 range works best, imho. As trumps already stated, with this setup at max speed you can fly as long your fuel lasts without fear of overheating. Half radiators suffice in this setup, but make sure you keep up that speed.

Yup, rudder trim has to be spot on, 400kg fuel, 10.20 pitch, 1/3 oil cooler open, and about 2/3 rad open, 440kph is easy achieved, and you can run like that all day without damaging things.

ok will try it...

btw, how do the fuel tanks work??

[trumps]

Love low level bombing of the airfields as well. On one sortie last week I came screaming over hawking at about 50 meters, I spied 2 spits running up their engines at one end of the field, I lined up between then and toggled my 2 x 500's, with a couple of seconds between them. One of the spit pilots RAAF SNIPER I think it was latter told me on coms that he saw both the bombs release and skid along the ground before digging in between the spits, he sat there and watched them for another few seconds before the world went black fantastic fun, would love to have seen it from his perspective!
