BuzzU Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 My first love in combat sims has always been the WW2 planes. I've been stubborn and only flew the American/UK planes. Even in IL2. I've always had an interest in the 109. A small hot rod with an impressive record. Maybe tricky to land and take off but that can be handled with a lot of practice. It's on sale for $25 right now and a good time to get it. I look forward to the new challenge. Any advice from those with experience is appreciated.

BuzzU Posted December 2, 2019 Author Share Posted December 2, 2019 I think i'll buy the VKB Gladiator too. It uses a copy of the real 109 stick. Just to get in the right frame of mind. Thanks for the tips. Buzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzU Posted December 2, 2019 Author Share Posted December 2, 2019 This won't work. I watched some videos of flying the 109 and shooting down the Spit and P-51. I can't do that. It would bother me too much. Sorry for bothering you guys but i'll stick to the P-51. Buzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snapage Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 There are quite a few good reasons to have planes from both sides. 1. You get to experience and master aircraft that have different characteristics. 2. You learn the weaknesses of the aircraft of the opposing side. 3. If there are too many players on one side you can just switch teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
