  • I never can get the Ta-183 to pass 450 Km/h. Does it have a fuel control element as well as the throttle or something? Same goes for the He-162, as I'm getting no where near the supposed top speeds of either plane at altitude.

  • Plane top speed is usually described by TAS (true air speed) at altitude. TAS is way higher than IAS (indicated air speed) shown by air speed indicator at high altitude, because air density drops with increasing altitude and simple air speed indicator does not know this. For example, 450 km/h of IAS at 7000m equals to about 660 km/h of TAS. You need time to reach top speed, especially at high altitude.

  • What version of the game it was? 4.07 or 4.08?

  • 4.08

  • how did u activate the target at this plane , at my game doesn't apear like yours !

  • Targeting sight? German planes have it offset to right. Press shift+f1 (default keystroke) to center on it.

  • MiG-9 pilot made common mistake, making "scissors" when enemy is too far away. If Ta-183 would be closer, it will be efficient, but when enemy is too far away, he gains time to line up and tears you apart as you're passing through his crosshairs

  • @ZaltysZ Didn't think of that. Thanks. I used to have 1946 a while back, hardly played it. I just reacquired it though, and I've been playing it alot.

  • The scissors is a maneuver best used by a slower aircraft against an opponent coming up behind too fast. You can weave side-to-side, turning tighter than the faster plane, and quickly go from hunted to hunter. J360Thunder was correct.

  • which game is this?

  • Absolutely not. Even executing these maneuvers is beyond most people who attempt games in this genre.

    He made a poor choice, and performed the scissors when the 183 had some distance. If he waited until the 183 was closing for a better shot, he would have had more success.

  • Wow u must have a nice comp cause its so smooth. I need an upgrade mines a bit choppy.
