i think he had like +1000 kills in the ki 44 like XD idek statpadding was a thing too, why play the same vehicles over and over again hah
at least now I have a new plane to fly on my list!
i will give them try later on but for now im tired of p38’s, maybe in a few weeks when I want to refresh and try something new, i saw p38L gets boosted ailerons, so its probably more nimble
I don’t know if it is possible in air RB, but you should be able to significantly speed up roll rates using rudder.
With joystick controls (including Simple and Realistic with autotrim and all that), you put the stick in a “4/8 o’clock position” (ergo - maximum roll, slight pitch up) and stomp the rudder in the same direction to put yourself into a controlled “snap roll.” This bleeds energy (you’re intentionally slipping/skidding) and has risk of losing control/spinning out, but it allows for insane roll rates if you manage to be confident in controlling it.
I think with mouse aim just doing stuff like concurrently Q+A or E+D while lightly tapping S should replicate it? Instructor might not let you do it. If it does, it’s very important to go easy on the elevator because the way this maneuver works is to more or less intentionally stall your “inner” wing and if you pull too hard it develops into a very violent spin.
For comparison, in the Yak-9k the impact is insane:
I go from ~120 deg/s roll rate (zero rudder input, unloaded roll (I’m at ~1G or less) to 180 deg/s roll rate (using the above described 4’o clock/8’o clock + rudder stomp. The 140 deg/s was me failing to pull it off). To note though, this does rely on whether you roll left or right if using a control mode without autotrim (as prop torque adds roll rate)(you can see how negative roll rate seems lower (~100 deg/s) compared to positive (120 deg/s).
When I have time I’ll measure with my P-38G in test flight too.
oh youre the person who sent me all that information on simulator stuff, well ill try doing what you said later when i have time, thank you.
Depends on plane, usually just pressing roll and rudder for the same side will do it. On some like 109s, you want to tap W to unload the wings for just a moment to change directions faster.
