I have to voice my concern over the "assets pack" I hope ED rethinks this, it is not a good idea. I understand why they have decided to do it, however it will back fire :noexpression: The price of the map alone will already annoy people and if they see that the assets are separate! UPDATE!

AWESOME! Look at that fire at the -0.50 mark!!!

Interesting, makes me wonder if this difference also impacted the Spitfire Mk XVI Merlin 266?

Please let that be the case! :D

Good to hear the labels are back on, I hope the mod will not be required in Normandy/DCS 2.0

+1 Download and try the free TF-51 then decide :) Great shout artmustel, forget about the TF-51 rep inbound Amorak I would like to hear your opinions on the TF-51 given your experience :D

I am looking forward to the 262, fantastic aircraft however I hope it doesn't see much use in multiplayer servers :noexpression: Now a Mossie/Me410 or B26/Ju88 that would be great addition :thumbup:

Wait for me chaps! It's okay, it's okay, it's okay... Few weeks back on Burning Skies, taken in VR.

Thanks for sharing chaps

Great server :thumbup: Nice work with the mission set up

The last we heard it is after the P-51 update, P-47 and then it will be worked on :)

Hullo Eekz is the server down?

No class, Darkraider no class at all.

:doh: if you have nothing to add don't bother posting troll

In accelerating in climbing... No... try harder DefaultFace A fast P-51 is a threat, in the current low altitude scenario it is a bit of a fish out of water, when flying against them I found a lot of p-51 low and slow

This is not theory for crying out loud.... :doh: This is evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of the aircraft and ultimately the aircraft that has the greatest speed in any situation has the largest chance to succeed/survive. Ultimately the 109 with its speed when you evaluate scenarios has the largest chance of surviving.

I don't think you are quite grasping what I meant. By balance in a 109 v spitfire I mean that the spitfire has the ability to out turn a 109s attack and the 109 can out pace the spitfire if it is in trouble this ultimately leads to a deadlock, that is until one pilot makes an error :D

DarkRaider, no one is disputing that a fight with more than 1v1 will be harder by its very nature it will be however in a large furball the 109 has more advantages to survive than any other aircraft.

Exactly

I honestly think that you guys have absolutely no idea just how easy you have it flying a 109. 109 Zero engine management, you can pretty much go full throttle for an entire sortie. Great speed and range, virtually impossible to break a wing thanks to stick forces. Agreed this can be frustrating. Great armament once one appreciates the cannon drop. Spitfire To get the most out of the engine you have to work boost and rpm and if flat out make sure you don't go too slow for too long, which is not easy in a dogfight. Great agility, however this can spell doom at high speeds. Slowest aircraft available and terrible range. Great armament.

Yes, changes the dynamic in favour of the 109. The only reason I have been shot down in a 109 is because I became top target fixated and have been taken by surprise. Most of the time I can spot the attack and using the speed advantage just dive out of the danger.

Who said anything about giving it the same speed or climb rate? A late G6 or G14 would still be faster in speed and climb?

No point to the 190? In the right hands the aircraft is untouchable, the speed is fantastic it has its quirks but those who have the patience not to try and turn cannot be touched.

1 on 1 the spitfire and 109 are well balanced, as soon as you throw in 2 v 2 + the speed advantage of the 109 really stacks the odds against the spitfire in my experience.

The problem is not getting kills as such, I was doing alright in terms of getting kills. The issue with the spitfire is that it is hard to survive, you cannot escape, you can turn and evade but eventually your luck is going to run out. That is not the case with the 109 and the 190, speed is life... Look at the stats for kills/landing, this was one of my main points when I started the thread.
