Have the same in Black Shark, guess it's because everyone's bunched up and
so there's plenty of detail in small area.

YOUUUU SONOFABITCH!

At least it wasn't your wingman... seriously.

Dowly · 09-13-11, 02:59 PM

I do wonder how my next career will end... NOT.

Biggles · 09-14-11, 06:55 AM

Hahaha yeah collisions do happen...

So, I thought I'd give myself a new paint job. Not convincing camouflage against the sky...

Much better from above. But still too visible

I know, let's get rid of a wing! Or three. Better, but for some reason the aerodynamics were thrown!

Dowly · 09-14-11, 06:50 PM

Very nice

Biggles · 09-14-11, 06:50 PM

Here's a pro-tip: Don't you ever, ever try a steep dive in a N.17

Or the Albatros, as pictured above

Just read this on the RoF site -

However, there was still no confidence in low wing attachment and pilots refused to perform steep dives in combat.

Now I know, I'll not be doing it (much) again!

And this for your N.17

Quote:

These so called "one-and-half-wings" designs, like the N17, had an obvious design defect. Because the lower wings only contained one spar, the lower wing tended to fold and break off during high speed dives and maneuvers. There are only two known occasions when pilots made successful landings after losing their lower wings. Similar German designs suffered from this same problem.

Biggles · 09-15-11, 07:08 AM

Hm, my experience shows that the Albie can take more than the N17. I don't fly with full realism ofc, but I fly with realistic physics so...

Raptor1 · 09-15-11, 07:22 AM

The Albatros D.III is notorious for its weak lower wing that tended to fail in dives. The D.V attempted to correct that but it wasn't particularly successful...

Dowly · 09-15-11, 07:42 AM

I've dived a few times at around 250km/h in the AlbieD.Va. Seems to handle it
just fine as long as you don't yank the stick when pulling out of it.

You realise that info is right in the game under "reference" in the main menu, right?

Pah! Who reads that?

Just get in and fly, quickly! And don't pull too hard out of a dive.
