Slayer Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 So pilots I'm wondering how quickly the AI shot you down on your first go around of the P-51D vs P-51D mission :pilotfly: The AI got me after about 2 minutes. (Full realism) Couldn't shake him and eventually ended up in a turning fight near the ground after he had shot me up. Poor energy management and I smacked into the ground. Been playing alot of IL-2 and CloD the past few weeks but it didn't help me hehe...

Nate--IRL-- Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 You have to be very very stingy and keep ALL your energy to beat him. You can't waste a drop of energy at all.

In a turning fight remember you are both equal and AI will win...avoid a turning fight..

Many things to get fixed. It seems Pony is released earlier than A10 during its beta release. I don't mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh methinks you forget how the Warthog was in 1.1.0.3 :) Anyway rest assured stuff like this will get sorted with the communities help - the whole point of the open beta is gather information such as this. Please feel free to add stuff to the P-51 bug forum.

MegOhm_SD Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 In instant action Dogfight the AI made quick work of me...I think they start too close together...no time to position...I heard him go by but never saw him until he was on my tail...and that did not take long... I would much rather fly against humans anytime...I have much work to do... LOL!

Nate--IRL-- Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Use labels until you get feel for the AI - the P-51 is nearly invisible otherwise.

Slayer Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 I finally got some shots into him after turning on the labels and maping 2 buttons for padlock and padlock off. I didn't think the padlock would work good with TrackIR but it works perfect. You don't even need to pause the TIR while using the padlock. I've never used the padlock in other DCS/LO titles because most multiplayer servers turn it off but it should help for learning...just can't use it as a crutch like a lot of previous WWII sims.

Antorian Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I’m having trouble maneuvering on the fly by. I bank 90 on the fly by and firewall the throttle and rpm and pull towards the enemy about half stick. My airspeed dips to at least 220-210mph whe the wings start rocking and then I fall out of the bank. does this bird not turn? do I need to apply rudder? does trim need to be other than zeroed out at 5000 alt?

Bahger Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 How do you manage throttle and RPM in a dogfight? Push them both to the limit and leave them there? Pull them both back again at the top of a split-S? I've never flown a sim with both power and RPM controls for thrust before so please forgive the elementary question.

TimmyD Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I believe that in the real world if you're heavy handed with the stick of the Mustang at high speed then she'll stall very quickly and drop like a stone before the Hamilton standard propellor picks her up again. Try using flaps at combat setting before yanking hard on your stick (sounds rude that).
