I get the same thing in singleplayer.

If you're new to DCS then you probably don't know that the AI has a very simplified damage model. You have to fly online to get an accurate sense of the aircraft's firepower.

Thank you!

I'd like to have side-by-side flight sim setups for when friends come over.:pilotfly:

Double superior is a term of art. It is not an overall appraisal of the aircraft's abilities. Everything you say about the better high speed maneuvering of the P-51D is true, of course. For now the 109K K/D is about 4x better than the P51 in multiplayer. Even taking into account the foibles of internet airquake and the misuse of the P51, that is an impressive spread. We've all shot down 109s with the P51, but when your opponent isn't a sucker you are in for a lot of trouble.

The FM has changed more than a couple times in the last year; Leatherneck was not so confident in the validity of the FM as you are.

The AI doesn't seem to have an excessively good turn rate. It's the climb rate and low speed vertical maneuvering that beggars belief, as pointed out in the OP. Did you ever share those mods? I'd be curious to see.

Yes please. :yes:

"It's the pilot, not the plane" is the favorite saying of the guy in the better plane. The 109K is arguably doubly superior to the P-51, and I suspect it will be so decisively compared to the P-47 below 25,000ft.:ermm:

From what I remember about this topic... The P-47 was top scoring fighter of the USAAF, but the F6F had more kills than the P-47.

I agree that the edited colors appear more natural.

This bug is still here (or has returned) with the 1.5.5 open beta.:badmood:

Yup. Silver Dragon's list is cool, but most of that stuff I won't see in DCS for decades based on the current rate of development. Here is what I might expect in the next 4 years. I won't go into the debates about whether to count three of them as WW2, so they are in italics. ED: Spitfire Mk IX Me-262 P-47D B-17 (AI only or flyable? We don't know yet) VEAO: P-40F (for how long has this thing been in preorder status???) Spitfire Mk XIV Glostor Meteor Dehaviland Vampire F-8F Bearcat And I've read that Leatherneck has planned the F-4U and Okinawa map, but I haven't seen official confirmation for it. There could be more I haven't thought of...

There we go! That is great news.:clap:

We all have our opinions.:smilewink:

My bug report was for the 109K-4 specifically.

I first noted the bug in the 1.5.4 beta; in the 1.5.3 release ffb was fine. That post was from June 27th, four months ago. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=166892

This is just for joy riding? Then the VVS Demonstrator skin.:)

I'm aware of them, but what would happen if someone didn't have the mods? I saw a few people visit on Sunday when I ran the mission, and I saw room for some additional revisions. Thanks!

Ah, so we no longer edit the config file? I'll check.

NTTR always pauses on start when I host. I know how to edit the config file and don't have this problem with 1.5.4. Any ideas? Thanks!

Greetings friends, I am going to test out the latest version of a map I've been working on. It features the WW2 aircraft in NTTR, which isn't usually available for multiplayer. The map has some AI aircraft, ground units, and objectives. It also uses the faux ww2 skins for the AN-26 found here http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/1599049/?sphrase_id=4452406. Please stop by if you'd like to try it out: Gavagai's WW2 dogfight P.S. impostors are set to small, and the map runs the EWRS script to help with finding the enemy.

Which way were they going?

I am also eagerly awaiting the Spitfire Mk IX. We need a good defensive fighter for the allied team to make the 109K-4 a little less appealing in multiplayer.

AoA also depends on your weight, not just your airspeed. But I agree it's surprising that there are so many threads about air-to-ground with the Mirage.
