Well, apparently nothing has changed since I posted my initial observations about the lopsided/unfair gameplay. rnahha was in the game with me and was witness to it again today. Our opponent who occasionally fly's as a Green but more often than not fly's Red was impossible to shoot down this morning despite being hit numerous times. Never a fuel or oil leak, damaged engine, etc. "AMAZING"!! He could also climb and accelerate without equal and never seemed to run out of fuel or ammo. And despite the fact that we were all flying the same aircraft he was able to out turn and outclimb and out accelerate us and never appeared to black out/red out. Is it any wonder that others are trying out other games in other arenas and considering leaving Warbirds all together? I still think that the gameplay has been compromised in some way or another to give one an unfair advantage over their opponents. Since I initially voiced my observations and concerns I haven't seen any remarks from admin., only a few other players who have offered other explanations which still cannot explain away what is happening in the game.
Others besides myself have also been witness to other instances as well. The other day several of us were unable to destroy an opponents tank despite hitting it repeatedly. And despite the fact that everyone saw him burning in his tank he was able to continue firing and racking up the kills and couldn't be destoyed. I've heard from others explanations about lag time, frame rate, etc. but none of that can explain how several of us are continuing to wittness the same thing. I enjoy playing this game with most of you all but this is BS and it's time to consider moving on to another game arena.

I have to say that I agree with hotrocks comments I flew same aircraft could not catch the opponent he would turn with out stalling or blacking out which makes me wonder . regarding the tank that hotrock mentioned I do have a video as proof the issue is how do I post it so the admin can see this glitch ??
I am having issues with the tanks also I cant get my turrets to stop moving even if I centre the joystick .

how do I post this file so people can see what we mean with hotrock ?

I believe the tank issue you guys are referring to was do to some beta testing for the Mac platform. That was reported and has been fixed to my knowledge.
As for the amazing feats of the pilot you are referring to. I see it too out of one particular player. It may or may not be the same guy. But he does fly both sides.
There are people however, who put an awful lot of time perfecting their skills in here, and it may be that he's just found the best way to maximize the performance of the game to his advantage. I do believe with some, that tweaking the settings in this game and learning the absolute outside envelope of what it can do gives them a distinct advantage. Even if those maneuvers defy all physics in the real world. It may be "gaming the game" by just devoting enough time to finding flaws in the system and exploiting them. Technically, it's not cheating if it is doable within the settings of the game. That would be for the programmers to figure out how to fix. Not sure that is possible.

swanee please send me a private message to see if we are talking about the same person as me and hotrock know who and no he has not perfected the skills of flying he has a glitch and he is abusing this to get kills .

Swanee- I still can't see how, "Perfecting Ones Skill's" or adjusting ones "Setting's" explains being so difficult to shoot this opponent down despite being hit repeatedly, etc. And never or at least very seldom showing any damage and having an endless supply of ammo, fuel?

I have video proof but i dont know how to post the pkr file

The things I see out of certain players that seem "amazing" to me is unusual turning capabilities, ability to never lose E, or actually appear to manufacture it from out of nowhere. Some of this may be warping due to lag, but i still end up shaking my head at times. I have not come across totally indestructible aircraft. Some folks seem to take more ammo to bring down than others, but I have not seen complete invulnerability.

Someone help post that video.

Everyone wants the best for this game, but ...
Admin needs to step up to the plate.

My Ideas for WARBIRDS 2020

MacOS: El Capitan 10.11.6
Hardware: 2011 iMac 27" with El Capitan
Processor: 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5
Graphics: AMD Radeon
Memory: 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Facebook Page: Warbirds Skins

You'd have to load the saved replay in Warbirds and record it with a program like Mirillis Action! or another screen video capture software, and then edit the video in a movie maker program and post the video on youtube etc.
You can also use dropbox, place the replay file there and then post the link here so that we can download the file and watch the replay in our own Warbirds.
Third alternative is using a site like http://www.filehosting.org/. You upload the file, recieve an email with the link, and the post the link here which will allow people here to download your replay file.

I actually don't believe there really is any admin for this forum anymore. Since Ient refuses to pay the person who has previously spent several thousands of hours of admin work for free, I think he pretty much keeps any admin work to a minimum nowdays. I also believe that Ient does not read this forum, I could be wrong though.
