now that i know how to read gauges and ive tried to pass tiger hun on sim with one life my p-51 keep losing all the fuel pressure even tough i havent been hit i hope it just a glitch but it seems impossible to pass it with one life because of this, the spitfire doesnt seem to have this anyone passed it with one life??

[SleepTrgt]

One life seems really hard, because you only have 20 shots. First target you already need to take out 5. And it aint easy to hit them!

And yea i also dont know what is goin on with that fuel pressure.

i have no problems with getting targets, u only need to destroy 5 heavy arty and the five tanks then the train my problem is by the time i get to tanks my fuel presure is going down steadely and dont have energy to fight the squad of fw190s, and then i find my self wreaking cant even set her down....

A plane isn't going to start loosing oil pressure for no reason. Look behind you and see if there is smoke, remember that there is a lot of flack in the air during that mission, so while you might not think you have been hit, you probably have been.

[SleepTrgt]

Nah no smoke when im losing fuel pressure! and even getting hit by flak should get your attention and then there is always the damage indicator next to your map!

So yea the plane is losing the pressure by it self, but it might be just because of heavy manuevers!

Try it on realistic (counter intuitive, I know) and adjust your elevator sensitivity to avoid stalling.

It is a growing tactic, once a side has captured an airfield, to bomb around any obstacles and hazards, on the airfield, so as they are obsucured by smoke and fire. This increases the chances of an enemy, attempting a landing, crashing into something thus foiling the capture attempt.

Buildings, watchtowers, shelters, haystacks, tents, etc. are all good targets.

Plastering the runway so that it is just a mess of smoke and fire does freak out the majortity of players enough to either screw up or not even try a landing.

Those able to use "The Force" or just plain crazy, will still try anyway.

On two field games it is wise to leave a bomber behind to bomb the captured airfield whilst everyone else roars off to attack the other airfield.
