xexeuu - the best bomber in WBFH history...

Re: p-38 lightning

Is this what you mean?

- point nose straight up and wait for airspeed to decrease to pretty much nothing
- idle throttle
- full rudder left or right
- P-38 drops nose in half a second and points straight down


I'm asking because I'm not totally sure what a hammerhead really is. I've heard the term tossed around a lot but I've never gotten a comprehensive explanation.

 

reflections

i dont know about rudder (which also is awesome at low speed btw)

but if you point the nose straight up until u have almost no airspeed and then pull all the way back (or forward) it noses over like nothin else

u can do it at full throttle easily too (i dont know how it changes things)

i thought it was pretty cool

edit:



imo, "hammerhead" is about the claw part of the hammer

u fly up the "handle" and reduce speed, and turn at the top like the claw curves away from the handle

 

Now also gandhi makes post on topic

WHERE THE HECK IS THE WORLD GOING!!?!?!?!=()/#&&%¤)/













j/k

 

Gandhi -the bug abuser found new bug to exploit-P-38s pitch
at low speeds) God help us all )

BTW, i have never used rudder during hammerhead,most of time plane
would have just flipped at very low speeds...it helps if u add throttle during
its flip...second variant that i am aware of would be full throttle zoom
at 90 angle ,after which plane enters some kind of spin and flips to nose
low position, again without rudder usage..

P.S. WHAT P-38S PITCH HAS TO DO WITH XEXEUU THE BEST BOMBER ?
gandhi could have posted it with his thread of stooopide arabese ppl,
i wouldnt care..

P.S. 2. Anting,actually i believe then while going straight up ,at some point when u would cut ur throttle,u should in fact cut engine out,not throttle...
I believe ( im not sure) that cutting throttle creates new force that can only ruin ur hammerh. ( on google u can find videos about real hmrh.)

 

Everytime i say something about gandhi i get bad rep

 

like other ppl dont know that hes bug abuser...

 

It's because of the CERN

 

Re: reflections

Okay, I've played around a bit with this (the maneuver ... not the hammer ), and I find that while pushing the nose down works too, using rudder causes the plane to drop its nose even faster (nearly instantly!).
I plan to put this new-found knowledge to use in the arena (I hope it doesn't count as bug abuse ).

 

Re: reflections

Why? No one will follow your (extending) plane to 35000ft anyway.....

 

SILENCE, or there will be spitzensparken in die blinkenlichten!!

 

hehe ant you were always a big target at the end of your zoom-up, too bad the zooooooom is so long one can barely follow you that high

but when someone actually can, mincemeat

 

Then we shall both go in a ball of fire, guns ablaze as my plane is falling down on you. A fitting end for two warriors of the skies ... >8^)


P.S. Yeah I know ... once the Ki-84, 109G14/K4 and 190D9 are out, zoom time is over.

 

Ant, how do u plan to use typical E move when u like tnb
Trick is to be above cons not co-alt,then it works

 

Above cons for antred is not priceless,
it's all in a days work for him

-blinkenlicht acthung

 

I don't know why, but that reminded me of Scrubs...

 

ummm, ant that "shitty" rep you got for this post was from me, forgot to sign

 

SCUMBAG!!! I HATE PEOPLE THAT DON'T SIGN REPS!!!!
