This is what usually happens in an attack from a P-47/Fw-190/P-51

Times like that, I just work on my flying skills if anything. And navigating. it's funny all the things you notice when you're not immersed in a fight.

Navigation errors can be downright hilarious sometimes.

I remember once we were flying bf109 in mediterranean protecting italian battleships.

Flight leader decided that east became west, and west became east (he basically mixed up the degree headings in his head)

I tried to talk him out of it, pointing out the mistake, on teamspeak but he wouldnt budge out of his decision. So, he had planned the route, but it went to the wrong place instead of to the location of the italian battleships.

Let's just say we diddn't find the battleships, we just found clear mediterranean sea, we had a pretty good laugh about it after the mission naturally


As to the joystick settings.

I kind of like the 100 sensitivity these days. But, you gotta be careful with unnneeded stick movements. Such as when rolling, don't pitch up or down too much if you don't need to or don't want to.

At other times, and with some planes, like spitfire, I like 100 sensitivity, BUT a slightly exponential response curve (lower response in center, only slightly lower response in middle stick deflection, and normal response in high stick deflection)

The reason why I like the 100 sensitivity is that it helps in rolling manouvers and rolling scissors, flat scissors etc. It just feels so natural to me, if I want to roll the plane, put the gunsight on the enemy and shoot. I can roll the plane with exact movements of the stick.

Not some weird ass accentuated response curves.

hmm, maybe it's just a question of getting a feel for the difference though?

There should not be that much differnece though, which you can't overcome with being more attuned to the alternate stick response?

(such as, lower response in centre position, slightly lower response in middle stick deflection, and normal response in high stick deflection)
