This is a ...

It was common to have the last "x" number of rounds to be all tracer so the pilot knows he's running out. not sure how much "x" was.

God god this thread is still alive?&nbsp; is it going to move into "disregard" territory?&nbsp;

<t> no mention of the P-39s infamous tendency to go into a flat spin because it feels like it? I imagine that was a reason for it being less than popular [:D]<br/>
<br/>
Anyway, is dive speed modeled in any way? 'cause the P-39 can dive like a meteor. Of course the P-40 is pretty well known for ...

when is the game gonna model the "hijack half-finished Marine-core airfield in mid-battle in order to rearm and attack the Japaneese fleet" ability?! rabblerabblerabble! [:D]

<t> Ugh, sherman (30 tons) v tiger (57 tons)<br/>

lets compare a heavy cruiser with a battleship, then complain about how trash the cruiser is because it can't win a straight up daytime slugging match. (re: the battleship's kinda fight)<br/>
<br/>
anyway, Akatsuki class! Especially ...

<br/>
It is *unforgivable* for it to not be finished! <br/>

<t> I'm pretty sure there's international law that prohibits someone from having 17,000 posts in a wargame forum and be "buff" under any universal understanding of the word [:'(]<br/>
