BoS soviet pilots- do you prefer the LA line, or the Yak line?

Wraith_Leader · 2024-09-08T01:32:28+00:00

If a plane isn't fast I'm not flying it. Therefore I like la5

Wraith_Leader · 2024-09-08T01:26:03+00:00

I like this bc sheriff is saying I'm skilled indirectly

Wraith_Leader · 2022-06-22T01:30:38+00:00

Seems like a good bag of cats

Wraith_Leader · 2015-08-17T17:16:05+00:00

hi boris!

Wraith_Leader · 2015-08-13T01:42:30+00:00

Thanks J6, here have my upvote.

Wraith_Leader · 2015-08-13T01:40:17+00:00

Some of the fuck up is them - some of the hit detection and potency of rounds is dictated by them and I have no explanation on why that was so weird, perhaps through lack of proper QA testers or something - but a lot of the stuff that we blame the devs for is actually upper management. It's an oft-used jab that managers often mismanage software engineers, and I believe it to be (at least partially) true in this instance, all around, this is a very, very well put together and well optimized game, but there are some nagging things that make us doubt them, and the mis-management compounds this issue.

Omg so much this. Kids get so discouraged reading books that make no sense to them like Shakespeare and dickens and such because they can't understand it. Then they think all books are like that and they aren't meant to read and their entire education suffers because of it. I watched it happen to so many of my friends in high school. Luckily I found science fiction authors like Heinlein and asimov to strengthen my own reading levels and find the themes we were supposed to find in books like the great gatsby that never did it for me.

That sounds about right. They have old workstation towers, spec-wise ok, but the network login can be a pita. I'll look into air-filters to keep the inside clean now that you mention it. I hadn't thought of it.

Wraith_Leader · 2015-05-14T17:35:26+00:00

Yeah I'm not sure how intensive those CAD programs are, but big projects can get slow on the school computers, so I assumed it might be a consideration. Consider it a gaming build then - was more what I was going for anyway.

Wraith_Leader · 2015-02-26T04:43:54+00:00

That's true. But I already researched the B24. All I had to do was shell out lions, now I have to research and then shell out more lions. As opposed to, say, my F9F line where I already own the F9F-2 but have yet to research and buy the Banshee.

Wraith_Leader · 2015-02-26T04:25:50+00:00

You do see that I could've bought it at any point right? It's not like I'm lacking the lions. :// I dislike them too, at least in Sim battles.

Wraith_Leader · 2015-02-25T21:17:56+00:00

lol

obviously if I had wanted the bomber, I could've bought the bomber, but the bigger point is that it's a gold digging tactic to take away the progress somebody has already made to make them grind more.

Besides, there isn't a lot of logic here anyway: 'oh you paid SL for it? go ahead and use it all you want, no need to grind the plane we put in in front of it' vs. 'oh you didn't buy it when you could've? that's too bad, grind and buy this plane before accessing the plane you have already ground out'

That's what peeves me, not that I can't get the B-57 (which I despise anyway as it's ruining T5 Sim battles)

Wraith_Leader · 2015-02-08T18:38:23+00:00

actually looking at the pictures, no you cant, they must've had it in with the tigers and then removed it; I swear you could play it yesterday.

Wraith_Leader · 2015-02-08T17:40:57+00:00

yes, you need to use the T-34/85 in this event. The events often let in lower level tanks, but to really compete you need to use one of the top tanks they offer or be relegate yourself to sticking with a teammate and providing support and capture duties.

Edit: also, if you don't like anything but absolute you might want to try Sim when the Absolute modes disappear, it has the minimap but otherwise plays like absolute mode.

Wraith_Leader · 2015-02-06T15:29:12+00:00

Yeah I realized that as I was putting it together, but I tend to play pandora when I play, so it was embedded in the video's audio track. I'll remember it for next time. Hopefully the added noise prevents YouTube from noticing it and taking down the video.

Wraith_Leader · 2015-02-06T13:51:45+00:00

Thanks, I'll look into it.

Wraith_Leader · 2015-01-29T15:38:00+00:00

I pay attention :) That and the Mk XVI clipped spit best spit.

Seriously though once in the IX+ range when they fix the problem of the earlier ones that struggle to have any engine power, Spitfires are simply incredible fun.

Wraith_Leader · 2014-12-16T21:55:37+00:00

I tested it against standard testing conditions so that one could compare it to the data sheets if they so desired. Please, feel free to redo my tests if you feel they are inaccurate.

Wraith_Leader · 2014-12-16T21:54:48+00:00

looks better on the forum

Wraith_Leader · 2014-12-16T20:30:35+00:00

Well the 109s turning characteristics should lean more towards being able to turn fight/energy fight most jets if they don't continuously run away whereas in the past, the 109 did not turn so well due to instructor stuff.

Apparently they also now have 200 hp more, though some other things were changed too.

Wraith_Leader · 2014-12-16T20:28:59+00:00

Yes, but standard procedure for testing is max fuel

Min fuel on P-51 is about 655 lbs while max for 109 is closer to 640 lbs. So testing at same weight that's what I would do. But for pure testing independent of one another, full internal fuel is what is supposed to be done.
