But also in ww1 there wasn't a bunch of people crying about unfair war either.. This is a game not the real ww1 so people playing on PCs have nothing to do with it. Some people don't have cell phones or tabs so they play on PC just pull ur panties out of a bunch man up and take it like a man don't cry if they out fly you just means they have more skills. So the efforts you used to male this post could have been used to fight and make u better

Umm.. from my understanding the physics of the game engine that runs Dogfight the game is the limiting factor as to what can and cannot happen in the virtual skies of Dogfight (that & zuperman's programming of course) and according to zuperman no particular device or platform can do something that another cannot do. (I assume that is true once all updates are out, lol!)

I'm not saying they're all created equal.. just that each has their own specific quirks & strengths.

The last sentence caught my eye...lol

They weren't flown by iPads back then either...

As a PC user, I may need to fill out another hurt feelings report. :( :dry: :pinch:
Bannerless and naked. Whatever...

You know, I do compete against all players and platforms. I do not usually receive complaints in game from other players other than lag once in awhile. Usually the complainer is from the other side of the planet playing on my closest server...is everyone so polite that they're too nice to tell me I'm cheating or I have an advantage? No.

I just happened to find this game when I bought a new laptop. I have tried it on both my iPhone and my daughter's iPad. There are advantages and disadvantages to each.

I'm not going to lie, I know when I'm turn fighting against a fellow PC player. Guys like Zebra, Pie of Jerry, Blackwolf, etc are guys that I struggle with. But they're tough because they're great pilots, not because of the device they play on. I think I probably do have an advantage against a guy on a tablet in turn fighting. I have brought down some pretty awesome pilots that use tablets and PC's. But even with the best planes, I wasn't doing well in turn fighting at first...somewhere along the lines the skill was developed too. Not just the win 8 advantage.

But head on my cursor will either be aimed to high or too low...lots of tablet players will nail me before I can line them up. It's just how it is.

But everyone I fly against takes 4 hits to bring down regardless of platform. Anything more than that is a lag issue or they haven't got the latest update...plain and simple.

I've said this before, PC users are around 25 percent of the DF population. Getting rid of us won't help. Lag will still be there.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go fill out my hurt feelings report.
Bannerless and naked. Whatever...

Iv used both PC tab and phone all fly the same to me well PC is aliitle harder to aim with h only because of the keys that's all. Tab and phone are both the same like zebra was saying they all are the same. Zebra is good yes but as a PC user he has his weakness just as Davey on his iPad and just as I on my phone spent mean anyone or any platform can do something the other can't they all fly aim land etc etc the same just they all have diff weaknesses

Some of my best dogfights ihave been against PC players, Zebra is one of them. I really can't see the difference myself and when I'm in game I can't tell if you're on a PC or some other device. Since I have both an iPad and PC I think it's easy to say that flying a plane with PC is not as easy to fly as you think. Don't believe me try it sometime :)


Think you're going Crazy? Great! When you get there look me up and I'll show you around.

PC's are supposed to have an advantage against non-pc pilots in a dogfight according to you and many others.. then how do you explain such awesome dogfighters that are NOT on a PC device such as Ziza & SkyStorm and many others?? :blink:

Plus, you don't hear me complain about getting nailed by non-PC users in head to head shooting since they can get their sights on me much quicker with tilt than I can with arrow keys... so should I write threads complaining on how it's not fair they can target me & shoot me down with ease because I am only on a PC ??

:silly:
