[@mortallychallenged1436]

I watch your videos mostly to get an idea how to fly a plane and see if my estimation was right. Like when looking at the German BP with the heavy radiators on the wings, my estimation was that is might fly a bit like a Whirlwind P.9 but is more aerodynamically streamlined thus can deal with faster dive speeds. I was not completely wrong, but the low alt air density seems to really stress the plane. Or the S.O. 8000 I was wondering how to deal with the slow feeling velocity of German 20 mm guns,... now it feels like some support plane while the meta planes do the dog fighting. About the video here: I like the idea of taking old planes that might have been UFOs in the past and see what their flight model offers after all these years. Ideas of planes you could review if you are in the mood (I consider buying them on birthday sale and could not find them on your channel): Prem. Su-6, (no gunner therefore lighter an better? WT should include weight in the stat card!) Brit M.B. 5, (counter rotating props are neat in SIM due trimming, might be just a upper class brit "P-51" with cooling issues in RB) JP Ki-87, (forbidden love between Ki 84 and P47?) J7M5(the one with the huge engine/nose/turbo)

[@zaniwoob]

add ki-100 II to that list, there isn't an updated review around.

[@zaniwoob]

@@rainsilent well the ki 100 II sits at 3.7 while the ki 100 sits at 4.7. And I love the way it shoots, devastating fast point and kill. The dev blog mentions that it's (used to be?) the plane with the highest kill/death ratio in its br. With one or two good supporting pilots its wipes out the enemy swarm during a furball amazingly fast. Somehow it does seem to be a controversial plane with people loving and hating it. I personally never regretted the purchase.

ability to snipe with the 37 mm, ill take it anyday. i find it to be very funny, to send someone who attempts a headon some aimed shots at 2km away. mostly the shots come very close, making the enemy panicking, making them break away too early, and making them an easy kill :D :D its surprisingly consistent^^

Also this is plane or USSR in general is how you learn wtf trigger discipline is XD

Actually I didn't get how you get ur enemies at desired altitude according to ur plane everytime..

Otherwise if I fly either 109 or zero I always get some enemy above me that forces me to run when they starts diving on me.

[@Hadgerz]

if people are always above you, it's probably because you climbed straight toward the enemy. try climbing slightly to the side (try to be behind friendly bombing bases and start pointing toward enemies once you're at ~4km). Wait for the enemy p38s and xp50s and j2ms to start diving on friendly bombers (they spawn at ~4km) or people who just fly straight toward the enemy.
