I'd shoot it's wheels and send it to gulag after reporting it to the appropriate authorities.
Clearly this mig is an imposter and a spy. Real Mig-21s only drink ethanol based coolant. If you help this fake you are to be send to gulag aswell.

Tovarish, for identifying this capatlist cyka, you are being promoted to Pod-Polkovnik in NKVD.
It is your duty now to protect Soviet citizens by sending them to gulag.

A true infantry combat sim would be boring as fuck because it'd be 90% waiting around, cleaning weapons, sleeping or wanking.
>>153101608
I don't think it was posted as a "look bms sucks" but the opposite. That's what is supposed to happen.
I locked up a target, declared and fired. Had no idea a friendly was merged until after my target MiG crashed and then I saw a second explosion seconds later.

I also work probably half the hours of a McD manager.

Everyone knows Custard is a genius. Mostly because he never misses a chance to try to remind everyone.
He is really smart because he knows more facts than everyone else. True intellectual.

>/simg/ not being shit
MiG-29 has the advantage in a sustained turnfight.
Mirage can pull higher alpha and will have the advantage just after the merge but will gradually lose energy until it hits the dirt if the MiG-29 pilot knows what he's doing.
Does that settle it?
>>153108802
No because that's wrong as fuck.
Unless something had majorly changed for either flight model in the last few months, the Mirage SHITS on the MiG.
What you said would be right if it was literally the complete opposite.
The only thing the MiG has going for it in the merge until the PFM is Shlem/Archer.

except that we literally killed you, and then you respawned and came right back in when we were winchester
>>153109661
I'd love to make desert ops on nevada but that wont happen anytime soon because not enough people have it.
Speaking of, gimme a (you) if you bought sand.
>>153109735
So
What you are saying is.
That you had at least 4 mirages.
That's 16 missiles.
So you are saying, you spent 16 missiles on 2 migs one of which killed a mirage.
Also you took down one, the other crashed because SFM.
>>153109735
>It took 4 Mirages all 16 missiles to kill two migs even though one one was splashed in BVR
so this...
Is the power...
of da bois...
>>153109770
I didn't buy sand but I have it. Got it with the DCS: A-10C alpha or beta purchase. Can't remember exactly.
I was just asking because it seems like that poor anon is downloading nevada under the impression that we do our desert storm/afghan ops on NTTR. Not true.
>>153109942
Custard got killed instantly
Greg got in a dogfight with a 29, which later crashed into a mountain and then spent 10 minutes looking for him because he didn't have his chatbox on, and didn't see the 29 crash
Jack spent all his missiles on god knows what
I have no idea what the last guy did.
You have to remember it is insanely easy to notch the M2K radar, and thus defeat the Super 530D, Greg also had issues locking people on his radar.
The incompleteness of the Mirage means it has a hard time faring against such a simple abomination that is the MiG-29 in it's current state.

You let the plane into your cozy log cabin. You grab her a blanket and guide her down by the fire. You ask if she'd like some radar coolant in her hot coco, you've been saving the bottle for a special occasion. She accepts the offer and you give her a cup and sit with her by the fire. She's a bit older than you're used to but you notice how nice she looks.
Do you:
A) Ask her about herself and why she was out in the cold
B)Compliment
C)Try the direct lewd approach.
>>153099995
You injure the plane. Turns out she wasn't a spy but you are doing your duty as a soviet citizen by trying to eliminate western spies. You never hear from her again but a story is made up in the free soviet press newspaper about how you are a hero for dealing with this capitolist cyka and how others should follow your example. You are awarded the Order of Lenin and given 15 rubles as reward.

That's shit. Here is how it's done in Leo2s.
>Gnr warms up turret with 7 daily tests, easily done within 20-30 minutes if you're retarded or don't have your booklet.
>gunner inputs his data (cant, elevation, temperature, windspeed) into his panel while crew is prepping tank
>During action procedure, Cmdr flips on Stab
>Gnr eliminates his turret drift under order
>Gnr corrects the MRS (little mirror attaced to muzzle that allows the optic and the gun to align properly) under orders
>Gnr is supposed to check and potentially realign MRS after every 5 shots to ensure optics/gun are aligned
>gnr may also have to input new non-standard values depending on how much temp, windspeed, cant and altitude change (this reflects how good/thoughtful the cmdr or gnr is)
It's cool to see how far we've come. With the ballistic computer, the Leo2 is guaranteed to have a first round hit everytime within it's effective range, outside of human input/error. Also, the Stab system constantly causes the turret to drift, it's almost impossible to completely eliminate it.

The more famous units, like Alfa and Vympel groups, are GRU's Spetsnaz.
Navy has Spetsnaz.
VDV has Spetsnaz.
Army recon units are sometimes called Spetsnaz (generally foot sloggers in divisional recon battalions)
Police have Spetsnaz.
Firefighters have Spetsnaz.
>>153126485
That's very informative.
Thank you, anon.
>>153126485
>>153126654
Also worth noting that spetsnaz is an abreviation for Voyska specialnogo naznacheniya. Which means Special Purpose Military Units.

I think a better scoreboard would be everytime the shitposting menace tries to shit up the thread by namedropping Harmless (who dindu nuffin)
It's a probably proven fact that the shitposters who namedrop harmless are the type of people to make everything shitty for absolutely no reason. This usual involves chopping the limbs off of family members or friends. End the shitposting menace.

It isnt an issue unless you're going at +60km/h. I got taught how to drive when I was 7 years old, I had to use a pillow on the seat so I could see above the wheel. If a kid can do it without fucking up, you can do it too.

Having made missions in DCS before the sheer amount of units and static structures in afghan ops always amazes me.
What sort of wizardry do you use to create these missions?
>>153232992
As someone who also makes missions: autism and patience.
I always get frustrated and give up when I do that shit.
3D mission editor N E V E R
>>153233532
That's not even the problem. How do you handle that many units and structures without desyncing? I remember back early in the year, we were flying that op someone made where we'd invade a town and then hunt down kebab in the vincinities, and we ran into all sorts of desync problems in the early version of it because it had too many units.
Previous to this I had the same problem running some small missions I made to play with friends.
Did ED change something or does the mission maker which made afghan ops is up to some voodoo shit?

...we no survivors
>>153234091
In my experience the EDGE engine handles a lot of units decently well. I had 500+ active units (not statics) and maybe lost 10fps at most and I never noticed any major desync beyond the regular amount from shitty internet connections etc.
Stimpack's afghan ops has 700+ (probably a lot more now) units, but a lot of them are statics, which don't exactly take much CPU time.
>>153234105
f99th has some nice people.
People here meme on them because they got blown out one too many times during blueflag. This isn't an exaggeration either, people would meme on plaiskool as well just because he blew out our entire CAP flight. Despite the fact that he is a really cool guy who plays a literal fuckton of bms.
>>153234558
>they haven't blown the fuck out of plaiskool
He is a cool dude, too, admittedly, haven't had to be on the receiving end of him too often.
Did manage to use a friendly Su-27 as "bait" while I looped around a mountain and put a Magic II up his tailpipe though, that was fun.
My only issue with F99th is that they all seem to be F15 fanbois. Trying to talk Sweeper through the F-5 was a bit of a pain.
>>153234747
They like the F-15, which is a cardinal sin here.
If you actually got to know them more you would find out that sweeper is actually a massive A-10 fag along with some of the other F-99th guys. He is also really good with the 21, I remember doing 2v1 dogfights with Winchester delta against sweeper and he blew us both out repeatedly.
>>153235105
Yeah, we talked a bit about the MiG-21. Gained a bit of respect for him then.
Seems he used to fly it in Blue Flag before they got restricted to red.
>>153235181
Are they a legit Virtual squadron now? When I was invited to join them they were just like /simg/, a group of friends trying to play DCS that met up through 104th. The only difference is we met up through a Taiwanese postage stamp forum. Hence why we have autistic hordes of idiots in our ranks (including myself).

You just described every virtual squadron's origins, anon.

bumping the pathetic thread
>>153246821
Stop that
Booted up IL-2 while I waited for DCS to patch (I despise using the standalone version of DCS because it doesn't automatically upgrade like it does through Steam)
Anyway, finally managed to finish the first summer campaign mission (I've never bothered to set up my controls properly before because whenever I unplug them, if I plug them into different ports it fucks everything up, so I never really played more than a couple quick missions)
Anyway, actually managed to land the Bf 109, wasn't even too bouncy, and can now choose my own mission types and aircraft going forth in the campaign.
Quick question, what's the difference between Ground Attack missions and Ground Support missions?
I'm assuming GA is interdiction, and GS is CAS?
>>153248005
Ground attack can see you attacking trains, airfields.
Group support is supporting troops in contact, killing tanks.
You can also attack artillery batteries but I'm not sure which of the two missions they fall under.
Reminder:

Cheers.
Another question.
Not sure if it's just on my end, but game doesn't really like alt tabbing (crashed when I try to alt tab back in).
Know any way to fix it? That's actually the reason I never played much BoS/BoM, I just forgot about it until I posted that and then tried to alt tab back into the game.
Full screen enabled or disabled (resulting in borderless), doesn't matter.
>>153248249
Not sure, my game really doesn't like alt-tabbing (it chuggs wildly when I try) but I can still get back in without it crashing.
>>153248319
Yeah, just had to restart my entire system (and sit through some windows updates because I never turn it off because of them) because I tried messing around with fullscreen/borderless and it wouldn't just blacked out, wouldn't even let me open the task manager or anything.
Can't remember if I had this problem before W10.

Turns out all of your campaign progress, controls, etc., are saved in your install location and not a seperate folder in your documents, etc., like most other games. Fortunately, I backed up my controls (we'll see if they actually work or if they get all the joystick/throttle, etc. axis mixed up later), but I lost all of my campaign progress (thankfully only 1 mission, but it makes me not want to get too involved in progressing if it'll all be lost whenever I reinstall/migrate/etc.
Seems strange they have you waste 30 seconds of your life logging into their bullshit servers and they don't actually save campaign progress on there, although they do save camo unlocks/weapon upgrades/kill streak rewards/k:d ratios/etc., stuff that shouldn't need to be tracked because it either shouldn't be in the game or should be available to everyone.

Thanks for your input, have an F-22.
Do any of these map markings mean anything (in-game) or is it just for show?
Are the fronts occupied throughout the map or are the only units spawned in and around the action area?
What do those long, straight lines indicate? Strategic bombing routes and targets?
>>153267650
Yeah, AI activity is somewhat random, but does coincide with the details on the map. The Stalingrad theatre did not have a particularly big air battle so you don't see much going on, but you may occasionally spot bombers attacking targets.
>>153267819
That's neat. I figured as much in regards to aircraft numbers, guess with attrition and issues with supplies, neither side could field vast numbers of aircraft like was occuring on the West (until the allies gained air superiority, I guess, although I don't know much about WW2 evidently).
Yet to see any strategic bombers, especially random ones (although I did see some large smoke plumes in the last mission I played which might have been their doing, no idea).
Shame the game looks like ass in the summer maps, I want to play it in order (summer campaign and then the winter), but the game just looks miles better in the snow. I guess it covers up the imperfections and the glare, etc., masks the lack of detail. Maybe DX11 will fix it, and fix my alt tabbing issues to boot, at the moment I can't really fly more than a short mission because of it.

>>153280920
Yeah, but ED is handling the F-18 and we all know they like to take their sweet time. Leatherneck will probably release a Mig-29 before the F-18 enters early access.
My first somewhat clean kill in IL-2, I have a lot of trouble with the stick input (not sure if it's just the default curves not agreeing with me, but I always have a lot more trouble getting onto target than I do in any other sim. That and the recoil impulse seems to be exaggerated, even rifle calibres throwing the plane around)
Followed up in an intercept mission, got 4 good kills (hopped on the tail of a column of turretless IL-2s, exploded their fuselage tanks with just a couple of 20mms, 4 kills with only 30 rounds spent), but I somehow managed to not record them despite hitting the shadowplay button afterwards. Might be hard to aim in this sim compared to other games but the rounds effectiveness definitely makes up for it, I just don't know which is accurate.
>>153282932
DCSs WW2 modules have pretty light recoil, but CloD has even more than BoS. I'm not sure which is accurate but yeah, it can be hard to get guns on target in BoS for sure.
>>153282932
For me getting the sights on the target is easier in BoS than it is in other sims, except for IL-2 1946, which is around the same level. I use an external program (script, to be precise) to have the same curves among all the sims, so there's no config variation between them.
>>153284604
What are the settings on your curves?
>>153284604
Seems like a good idea, I've been dreaming that Steam comes up with a similar method of having identical mouse control settings across all games for similar reasons.
I've got that TARGET software that might be able to help somewhat but I'm too lazy to try and learn how to use it, and I believe you have to use that as your games launcher which seems like a pain.
Speaking of effectiveness of ammo, bombs are also really effective, although the only game I've played where I've been able to use 250kg german bombs iswar thunder. Knocked out a T-34 and KV-1 with a 250 SC bomb a good distance from them.
While I'm on the topic, has DCS implemented any WW2-era ground targets (AAA especially, but tanks, soft targets, etc.) for the WW2 modules yet? P-51 is a great module but it's hampered by the lack of a campaign (flying through rings like superman64 doesn't constitute a good campaign in a combat flight sim) and lack of assets to make your own missions with (default singleplayer missions throw you into ground attacks against laser-accurate BTR columns and zu-23-2s.)
>>153285274
>has DCS implemented any WW2-era ground targets (AAA especially, but tanks, soft targets, etc.) for the WW2 modules yet?
Not until Normandy is out. When is anyone's guess.
Should add onto that last post that the shortfalls of the P-51 are the main reasons I haven't invested in the other WW2 aircraft, not until the Spitfire comes out at least. Prior to that I had all the modules, but with the slew that have been released from 3rd parties (some with dramatically less support and less quality, namely the Hawk), I've kind of lost interest in purchasing new aircraft and stick to what I have, which are tried and tested.
>>153284840
Its not very customizable but all I needed was something that made a curve. I was fucking tired of having to set up the sensitivity/curves for more than 2 sims when they handle different ways or values to set that up.
RZ is the rudder. Setting this thing up can be a pain though.
>>153285274
>I've got that TARGET software that might be able to help somewhat but I'm too lazy to try and learn how to use it
If you can set the curves with that thing, it's worth of it. Dunno about everyone else but it takes quite some time for me to get the right settings.
>I believe you have to use that as your games launcher which seems like a pain.

Never even knew ships/river patrol boats were a thing in this game until now.

Only got a glimpse while I was flying past at 500km/h.
Thought they were torps at first but thought rockets might make more sense, no idea how much ship vs ship action was on the Volga, although even then the reasoning behind bothering with a rocket ship is questionable as well.
What's this general's honest opinion on Microsoft's Flight Simulator?
>>153298860
Okay for a civvy sim, but it's not like you have any other options. Everything FSX is piratable.
>>153299272
Nearly everything, not all.
FSDT and Flightbeam Sceneries, VRS FA/18E/F, and Tacpack are all nearly unpiratable
>>153299775
Why would you want to fly an F-18 in FSX anyway?
Not having any kind of damage model kind of makes simulating military aviation a bit silly.
>>153299775
Only thing in that list which I value is FSDT. Because of GEX. And that has been pirated before.
VRS is alright but flight a F/A-18E in FSX is a fucking waste of potential.
FSX is for your PMDG/FSLabs/A2A needs. And all those addons have been pirated, thus far.
>>153300478
Correction, GSX*
>>153298860
Vanilla? Chore to get installed and tweaked given that the old bojote tweaking tool is gone, however it's compatible with literally everything.
Steam Edition? No need for tweaking, however if you pirate addons and aren't running the most up to date versions, you'll definitely have compatibility problems and won't be able to run some.
All in all, FSX has pretty much all fields of civil aviation covered rather thoroughly with pretty good addons overall.
A2A and RealAir cover general aviation and some old things, like the B377 Stratocruiser, with absurd fidelity, Carenado has a broad range of aircraft available but simulated to a lesser degree of realism. PMDG covers the 747 and MD-11 albeit the 747 might be considered outdated by now. Their 737 and 777, together with the JS4100, are an absolute joy to fly. Flightsimlabs covers the Concorde and more recently the A320 in so much detail that it rivals even PMDG in systems depth. Aerosoft has quite a few planes, most of them to very satisfying system depth. Other than that there's Milviz, Flight1, Captain Sim, the Leonardo Software House Fly the Maddog which is old and ugly as fuck but also has excellent depth. And there's also the visual enhancing addons like REX and scenery packs.
FSX is okay at best on it's own but it's the addons which make the sim, in this case.
>>153300478
>he doesn't fly captain sim planes
problem is, while basically all the base packs have been pirated, the 737 expansion packs haven't and I feel the only worthwhile 737s to fly are the 200ADV(which mind you doesn't even come with a fucking sperry 177) and 200C, both haven't been cracked and can't fly. If anyone wants a fuckton of FSX torrents though, go to rutracker.
>>153301978
>fly the maddog
CLS MD-80 is better
>>153302764
It might look better but so far nothing comes close to the LSH systems wise.
>>153302597
I really don't fly any CS planes, mostly because last time I tried them, they didn't have any way of loading a preset panel configuration. Else I'd be all over the 727s.
Check rutracker again for CS stuff since you're interested in the 200ADV. The slav who maintains the threads seems to have them updated all the time. The Milviz one got updated today anyways, with a new version of the 737 they offer.

>>153304175
1946 is actually a far better game than BoS, BoM or CoD (although I haven't played CoD, assuming it has the same issue as the other two)
1946 had tonnes of expansions, and great mod support, you can fly anything from transport planes, to dozens of fully modelled bombers, probably hundreds of aircraft once you count the variants, on all sides of the war, even into the Korean war. Carrier takeoffs, etc.
Whereas with BoS, for example, if you want to fly a fighter, you're stuck with the Bf109 for Germany, and Russians get a couple of more choices but that's it (provided you aren't paying twice the price for an extra aircraft per faction, BoS/BoM aircraft tally up to be more expensive than DCS ones which are perpetually on sale)
>>153305893
The issue right now is that you get less aircraft. It seems lately they've hinted at going past the Ostfront. Still 1946 can't be beaten if you want something like co-op or campaigns. Price to pay for better simulation I suppose.

Are you guys at all interested in Steel Fury content? The game looks quite dated compared to SABOW (and even Steel Beasts), and it offers less in the way of options for screenshots (no free camera as far as I can tell), but WWII tanks are fucking cool
>tfw you ford a river in your nigh-invincible Fuhrer's Tank only to see a T-34/85 in a field on the other side just as it puts a shot through your front hull armor
Goddamn Ivans. I'd only been encountering 76-armed T-34s prior to that.
I really prefer the maps in Steel Fury compared to SABOW. Steel Fury is set in and around the battle of Kharkov (I think the second one? I'm not super knowledgeable on Eastern front battles), so plenty of rolling hills and Eastern European forests and shit instead of superflat deserts.
Also, there's a much greater emphasis on supporting the infantry, I feel- most rounds I put down range are HE, other tanks are actually in the minority of targets I see.

Steel Fury. It's an older Graviteam game- vanilla, only the Panzer IV (I believe a long 75 variant) and the T-34 (1941 variant w/ two man turret and 76mm gun) are driveable, but with the Steel Tank Addon a bunch of stuff like Tigers and Panzer IIIs and shit become driveable, which is rad.

Thanks for all the tips for the FW-190 guys, managed to get my first online kill today. Two more if you count (unintentional) mid-air collisions. When the 51s were actually fighting back I had to make a break for it after one of them managed to damage my wing. He almost got me too, but I kept rolling and forced him to overshoot. He dived away and I limped back to base. Even managed to land the thing.

Flight model is better than WT, damage model is one of the best I've seen in a flight sim (believe it's made by the same guys who did Rise of Flight, which had a similar one with biplane wings snapping and sexy shit like that).
No idea how accurate the flight model is, though. There's an insane amount of wind buffet, etc., more than I've seen in any other flight sim, and guns throw your plane around a lot (even rifle calibre MGs can throw your nose around and off target). But even a short, half second burst of rifle calibre rounds to the fuselage is enough to spring a coolant or fuel leak, which is great. Most other flight sims, even the little of DCS P-51 I played, require you to pump an insane amount of lead into the target and hope you knock a control surface off or sever a wing spar to reliably get a kill, this game is a lot more deadly.
That and the AI seems really good, no idea how good they are in a dogfight because I myself am not very good to test them, but the way they fly is a lot more realistic, you get on their tail and they seem to panic, when turn fighting they often pull too hard and do little stalls. I've dropped down on one guy, completely missed my shots, but the AI panicked and tried to turn and stalled himself into the ground.
The summer maps themselves aren't very pretty to look at, compared to the winter ones where the snow glare masks a lot and it looks great, and the DLC/premium planes seem pretty overpriced for what they are, although I'm comparing them in my mind to DCS aircraft when they're on sale (which they always seem to be), so I guess it's not a fair comparison.
>>153387743
>That and the AI seems really good
Its decent, but there's no commands for them and the Ace AI is the normal difficulty AI from IL-2 1946. That said. BoS AI behaves more realistically than the AI from '46.
>>153387743
Sounds great, since there's a sale going on now, may as well.
>DCS aircraft when they're on sale (which they always seem to be)

Main reason I don't play DCS anymore, actually. Not reducing new/future products to 70% is one thing, but stopping all the large sales on 5 year old products makes me feel like I'm getting robbed, so I just don't bother.
That and they continually shaft steam users just to try and force them to use the standalone launcher, probably doing funny business behind the scenes which is why steam stopped allowing people to redeem keys frmo their store with steam. Don't trust some shady russian company with my credit card or to comply with consumer protection stuff.
>>153389624
>a few shots
that 190 got fucking pelted, nigger
That being said apparently the 190 underperforms in BoS. I don't have it, but going by how fast the 109s overheat, I'd believe it. Slavdevs don't like the Germans to have fun.
FUCK GOD THEY'RE LIT

It doesn't really make financial sense for them to lower the price of the product for such a niche market (see also steel beasts and those autistic war games). It's subjective but I'm willing to shell out the cash for a well done module. While there are issues, namely the visibility, the lack of era appropriate units and the damage model, there really no other simulator on the market with the kind of fidelity that DCS offers. For someone like me, who'll never get to fly, it's a big deal.
>continually shaft steam users
Eh, unless you're American you actually get better prices on steam. I'd never buy anything from them on their own store.
>>153391089
Or eastern european.
East euros are absolutely shafted by steam.
>>153391249
>shafted by the USSR
>shafted by their government
>shafted by the exchange rate
You would think they would be used to it by now.

Like I said, I agree it's not very smart for them to do massive reductions, especially in brand new modules, but the fact I'm now having to pay twice what I would have for the exact same modules is what's annoying me. If I bought the Mi-8 module last year, I could have gotten it for 40% of the price that it goes on sale for now.
Feels like it's just money I'm wasting at the moment.
>>153393146
Should also add my 'shaft steam users' I mean tying everything up in early access and then introducing some arbitrary rule that they no longer put early access modules on steam, meaning if you want to play 50% of the modules, or anything that's been released since mid 2015, including the new map, you need to be using standalone, or at least that's how I understand it. Not necessarily the prices, although I have issues with them as stated above.
>>153393275
You don't -have- to. You can bastardize the installation and do both like I have.Even though apparently I'm the only one that does this

Haha, kill me now
Ops when?
>Wanting DCS maps to be free
Literally entitled babies.
>>153395913
>nobody is stupid enough to buy sand so ED is forced to upgrade the only free map
Let me know how that's working out for you ;)
>>153395913
Not for the same price as a plane module.
Remember to never do this.
tfw my trackclip pro is deciding to be finicky, must have a dodgy connection underneath the headset clip as the IR lights turn on and off depending on the position.
Fuck paying £35 for another, it already fell apart years ago and I'm holding it together with thread and superglue wrapped around the light part to keep it from falling out, now I filled the cable area with glue in a position where the lgihts were illuminated and hopefully that'll keep them turned on.
If I need to replace it I'm either going back to the hat clip (lost it in the first week, fuck giving them £10 for a bit of stamped aluminium, but no one makes third party ones) or I'm going to invest in a wireless one, and then upgrade to a wireless headset, and be done with the awful cord issue all together.
>>153396575
That Mirage made so many mistakes it isn't even funny to watch.
Just nerve-wracking.
>>153390987
It's not supposed to be a simulator so I don't care.
I'm just happy it's vietnamo tbqh.

How many times do I have to tell you people that the Viggen is just a ruse and Leatherneck isn't working on dick?
They've had "about a month left" since May at this point.

The 109s are fine, it's just shitters that think you have to use 1.3ata all the time to get them to perform instead of learning to fly cleanly that have issues. If you fly the 109 well then you quickly see how underpowered all the soviet aircraft are. I hardly ever take it over 1.2ata and nothing can get near me unless I fuck up.
The 190 on the other hand was fucked over a few patches back. I've given up flying it, it used to be the best aircraft in the game if you flew it at 500kph+ and could still pull a few moves a lower speeds but now it flies like a lukewarm turd and has very odd accelerated stall behavior.
>>153387743
The AI are basically very aggressive dogfight drones, they never defend beyond jinking if you get on their tail so they are easy to exploit if you know how to do a basic rope-a-dope.
It doesn't matter if they are 1km below you and 100kph slower, they will still fly lead pursuit at all times and try to line up for a shot at you.
It's good enough to challenge new players but people who can manage their energy will find them to be no challenge at all beyond occasionally getting caught by a retardedly accurate prop-hang shot from 500 meters.
>>153417642
This anon knows what he's talking about.
I only cruise between 1.0 and 1.2 ata and anything above that is just for short periods of time maneuvering during dogfights. We're talking seconds at a time here, even if the engine can take 1.3 ata for 30min or whatever.
>>153418539
60 seconds is all you get at max ata.
>image limit reached so my cleverly topical Nicholas Cage gif won't display
>>153419176
Well, yeah..
If you go into "emergency" power you better actually be in an emergency.
>>153417642
I read the sheets and it seems like the 109s are fastest things in BoS at any altitude.
Then again I don't think I've seen the continuous power speeds.
>>153419810
Exactly anon, that's why they call it """""""Emergency"""""""" power. Some people surprisingly don't understand this and they blame the engine limits for their failure.
>>153420117
The Yak can surprise you if you're not careful, so can the La-5 but the 109 will always leave them behind eventually. Some people get caught out and make it sound like the Russian planes are overmodelled but I don't think this is true.
If you run at 1.2 ata you'll get more than enough speed provided you set your stabilizer correctly and watch the slip ball. I generally cruise at 450kph.
