Callsign: McPetterson Plane: BF 109 :) thanks

I'm not sure, the engine has this bug since the update who introduce the A8. it's not something due the temp or speed, it's totally random as the Collimator Sight bug

what do you mean ?

Is it just me or when I turn on the mirror in the spit I have around 35 fps lost, and i can feel when I'm turning my head (with track ir) the game is not smooth ( even if I have 80 or 140 fps ) as soon as I turn it on I have this sort of lag and the feeling is not the same

Indeed, the rudder trim speed has changed, and I don't know if it's related to the last update but my visor goes broken for no reason, even on parking with new plane my visor won't turn on, and when it does, sometimes in middle of flight it turn off and impossible to turn it on again ( and I didn't get shot from ennemy planes)

Available for the event - McPetterson - Allied - Spitfire LF Mk. IX

This thread deals with person vs person, of course Vs AI it's really easy. But as you mentionned vs real person it's totally different.

After few month from my first post on this thread, I'm still flying the Spit in multiplayer and I have to say that's it's still unbalanced , and unhistorical compare of axis plane. I spend 80% of my flight time chasing/running behind germans plane, as soon as they see you they runaway from you to their airfields. There is no fun and you have litteraly no chances (even if you are playing with you squadrons)! If I refer from books from WW2 R.A.F pilots, that's not how it was. So please do something about it, upgrade the MK IX or introduce the XIV. but please take a consideration that's there is absolutely no fun while playing this spit unfortunately ... that's a shame for such a good plane.

Sounds good, can't wait to see it online asa. See you in sky

Spitfire XIV would be a luxe

We are not complaining the fact Axis is better than Allied, we are blaming how unrealistic is the Spitfire. We just need DCS do something about the LF MK IX in order to have a model that fit with the time.

Actually that's my point, I'm pretty sure the gap between the Spitfire and BF 109 was not that huge. I'm blaming the fact that is not realistic at all (that's a shame for a simulation) but the gap is real! because the model of the Spit (LF MK IX) , they should put a late 1944 aircraft instead

I would like to speak about the spit and how i'm supposed to enjoy this plane with 0 benefit. First of all, I've been playing on Burning Skies server and the first thing I noticed is the difference of kills between Axis & Allied... And after many hours of flight I'm wondering why I fly with a 1942 Spitfire against a 1944 BF 109 ... As i said I play these last 2 month on Burning, so i'm pretty new pilot on multiplayer server, however the 2 last seasons I finish in top 10 fighter with less than 20 kills. Am I this good in Spitfire !? Honestly, I don't think so, I think all good players move to Axis team... why playing a plane who is : - slower than the germans airplanes - lower rate of climb - and lower turn rate ? Because YES, I've met really good players in BF 109 who can turn better than a Spitfire LF MK IX ! I have now 0 pleasure with this plane anymore, As soon as you meet an Axis fighter, he run away from you, I spend my time chasing Axis who's runaway with no fear that you could catch him. And if you try to scare him with some bullets, they'll go beneath him (another point I would like to discuss in futur). Honestly tell me where is the fun ? I don't know why Eagle Dynamics choose to put 1942 plane with those performances and bullets so loud ? Maybe ED should improve LF MK IX performance (or even change the model and put one of the same year as the 109 k-4), or I don't know change the model of Axis fighter (I hope not because there is no reason that Axis player suffered such a big change on their planes) But if ED continue in this way, nobody will play the spit anymore and it will be unbalanced as more and more players will play Germans fighters. It's quite funny when you know that Germans pilot claim to have a better planes (depends of time / aka battle of Grand Britain) to compete the spit, but when you compare these 2 planes in DCS you clearly see they are unbalanced, that's a petty... Hope to see you in sky
