Oh OK... So you were in the other Yak! Yeah, I was concentrating on getting into the furball with [BAS] Taylor Swift and V. Thanks for the complements Shern, it's mainly your top secrete tactics you share with me that I think make me competitive.. and also always getting into it with Keebler. You two are pretty much responsible for the majority of my training! I appreciate it more than you know buddy! I tell you what though, Origami had me for his breakfast last night! It's kind of cool going incognito, because you get to see how other players play when they don't think that there is anyone around they know. Sometimes I just sit back and watch them go to town! There are some players who just play with such grace, it's really fun to observe them do their thing
Ah Empreb! GG, great work in yak/corsair!! I stuck with the spitfire when it was outmatched for a while back in the day, but like chonch has been saying, the top of the game is beating origami/sola etc in frag limit games-which I don't think is feasible in anything but z3 (if they are too) though you'll be a hero if you do! I'll go and grab the mustang next time anyway, nice one going h2h with the z3 in corsair!
OK! anime, cool! I'll have to see if I can find some of those in english on the internet sometimes, it looks cool I used to love Star Blazers when I was a kid, that's my personal all time favorite anime series
Dud the zero is a good plane but it is damn overpowered. Every other plane is semi blanced. The Zero is in the world of its own. If you guys would stop flying the best plane because it is the best. This game would be so much more fun. Sorry for sounding mad I just hate this zero domination. GG see you in the skies.
I wonder if SGN come out with Mustang-III and it's the most powerful plane with all aspects better than Zero-III, will u start using Z3 to kill all the M3?
I agree with you, I liked it when the corsair, hein, zero, and BF and mustang could all realistically beat each other, and I used the spitfire for a while! but I see the top players so infrequently that it would be a shame not to have a good matchup in z3. If everyone agreed it would probably be ok but thats not realy possible, not to mention the z3 is the most fun anyway. I still use the mustang on occasion though.
I know what you mean, I have been upset about that too, but I have just accepted it as being it is what it is. You can't compete against the best in anything else, sad but true. It really is fun too, because the game just goes to a whole new level. What it makes me think is that all the other planes are just so under-classed. They are balanced, but if you look at the historical planes... yes most of them are indeed way under-classed. I like the fast pace the zero III makes the game. I wish we had balance with it now though. We are in the hands of SGN though, and we need to keep asking them for new planes to balance the zero III. I just hope that when they do release the next gen planes, they don't make them suck as well. I'm kind of half expecting that because what they did with the planes stats, never has made any particular sense to me. I do think they are working on sorting out the games list now. I notice people coming into games after they have been going on a while, and I see more games in the list. It's not quite like it was before, but it is a huge step in a positive direction I think.
Hehe! OK you confused me their for a second Shern, I thought you said you weren't Taylor Swift, and that you were using another name in that game! I do thing there was a FW in that game and a Mosquito as well! Anyway, yea that was the first time we have gone up against each other and I had way too much fun! I'll be back as Orion next time I can play, but we do have to do that again sometime!
Maybe or maybe not...hehehe. The only stats I want changed for Mustang-III is 5 star speed and 4 star armor. The zero right now is in it historical spirit of aglity so why can't the mustang out run anything since that fits its historical spirit of speed ?
GG Shern! I find it impossible to track planes in that winter mountain map. That and a slower than usual wifi connection has been really frustrating me lately. I haven't been playing as anything but Chonch for at least the past 24 hrs. Before that I was Squishy for a few days. I ran into Yikez! earlier in my BF and "she" got me a few times. I hate games like that and your Zero3 vs Yak3 room because it's hard to show skill and who the really dominant players are when there are 8 powerful planes in the sky and it's so easy to get killed by a recently spawned player while you're locked in a turn chasing another. It's much better when half finally leave and you're able to actually dogfight. I think Yikez! is Vanessa! because of the exclamation point on the end which all her names seem to have. Vanessa! OHNOUDIDNT! Yikez!
That makes sense. I was thinking that perhaps Vanessa is really ZX, for some reason. Yes I like it when the games clear out and your in a great DF as well. That's really the only positive about the game's list not refreshing like it should.
What kind of name is Yikez? Is this American girl name? I've created lots of Zero3 vs Yak3 rooms today and most of the time are just P40s. It's really boring. My kdr has dropped from 6.3 to 5.8 as I've been staying longer in rooms that has Z3 vets inside, and quit very early when rooms are just all P40. All I want is fun matches now. No more caring about kdr and highscores ranking.
That's what I would change about it as well. The mustang II used to be my favorite plane. It does have the advantage of having much better Yaw control than the zero III, which makes it more maneuverable to me in a lot of ways. If they just changed those two stats, and left everything else the same, it would fit my style of play like a glove. That would make it the perfect plane for me.
Shern, do you happen to know what characteristics they are describing by the maneuverability stats? This has always confused me. When the FWII first came out I thought it would have great yaw control... it didn't it has really crappy rudder control. Do they just mean how fast it can complete a loop or what?
The handling equation is a function of yaw angle, pitch angle and roll angle. So 2 planes having 4.5 stars in handling does not mean both pitch as tight as each other. One could be turning tighter than the other while it's yaw is slower than the other. But whatever stars shown in the stats, we all know it's BS BS BS. We just don't know what values are actually written in the program codes.

I was thinking about the firepower equation the other day while flying all the different planes I've unlocked and I think it has way more to do with just the amount of damage your guns can inflict. It seems like effective range is also a factor and possibly the length of time you can fire before the guns overheat. Personally I would sacrifice power for a longer firing burst. I would take P-40 firepower if it meant almost non-stop firing time. You would win every h2h. Not very sporting though, almost like using rockets but with consistent accuracy. Was overheating really a problem for pilots in WWII? I mean, going around 400 mph seems to be the very definition of air cooling to me. The Browning M2 .50 cals used by infantry had a decent firing rate and took a relatively long time to overheat and need a barrel swap. Now take that same gun up to a freezing cold 10,000 ft or higher and move some serious air over them and I would assume they should be able to fire until you're out of ammo.
We've done our tests and concluded the duration of bust is the same for all aircraft. Not sure if distance is part of the equation.
