Yeah, you got me. My optimism in the LF 9's flight model was obv misplaced. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzewjrFPagQ

The premium spit is well known for having an absolutely bonkers flight model. Is there anything in the game that can outclimb it?

It's exactly the same as the normal Spit LF IX. The Ki-84, K-4 and Bearcat all climb similarly to the Spit, and at much faster speeds so you will catch others when they're lower. Also I assume YOLO_Swag_420xxx isn't a goon?

Everyone always forgets the I-185 (M-71) when they talk about great climbers.

I hate the American LF IX because most of the people that fly it are skill-less cunts that just run away and climb the moment they don't have an absolute 100% advantage over you. They never even try to dogfight you. Just half-assed bounces followed by 5 minutes of run away and climb, over and over and over.

I never encounter those, most I do encounter are either scrubs who crash their plane ( I do that too with the Spit IX). Or they are easily baited with a lead turn and waste all of their energy in one run. It's a rare thing to encounter anyone who flys this plane smart. Might be because the prem. P51 is a far better plane.Heliosicle posted:Oh, reapply then. The I-185 turns like poo poo no matter at which altitude you are. It's a 190 with a red star. And being better at doing more horizontal BnZ things. Though any other  plane is pretty competitive (once upgraded). It's hilarious that the easily upgraded D.521 is totally doing fine while being stock.

Fart Car '97 posted:It's like that in RB, too. Things light on fire comically easy, but it means pretty much nothing unless you start getting repeat crits. Fuel leaks looking the same as smoke trails now only makes things worse. I kind of dig it. It beats all of that "You're on fire. Either eject now or spend the next two minutes watching your plane burn down." recently, and is ten times better than the pilot sniping a while ago.

I'm enjoying the fact that fires are no longer a death sentence. At the very least you have some time to try and get home, or take someone with you.

That still doesn't explain the first screenshot. Considering all the other Engine throttle upgrades that do literally nothing, you should be happy that you get an extra 2.9HP. BBJoey posted:Yeah, you got me. My optimism in the LF 9's flight model was obv misplaced. Yeah by the way, plane performance at high altitudes is pretty broken, so nothing is correct up high. Supposedly that's getting helped a bit in 1.43.

Bort Bortles posted:Are they fixing Ebola and world hunger with 1.43, too? Well I did say "helped" rather than "fixed." As it says in the preliminary patch notes: Gaijin posted:The simulation of piston engines at high altitude has been improved So I'll be happy if it's just better, rather than the same or worse. WirelessPillow posted:That earning the plane is not worth it at all. That's why I stopped at getting only two levels of the task. I'm not wasting the rest of my time to grind out the rest for a 100% chance at a mediocre plane.

What the hell am I supposed to do when I get thrown into jet matches with a prop plane? Sure I can avoid them indefinitely, but killing one is another story. If I try and turn after one he is long gone by the time I am in position. It was pretty frustrating.
