For the love of God, fix this plane or the superpower AI

[Sunbather]

I wanted to get into this plane so badly. Trialed it for 2 weeks, learned it, and was very much looking forward to the German-voiced campaign by Reflected. Alas, the plane simply is not competitive against the superpower AI. Not even the P-47-30! 

Sure, I am only getting into WW2 planes but I have zero problems to at least achieve temporary superiority with the Spitfire or the Bf 109 or even, yes, the Mosquito! And I seem by far not the only one having a problem with the performance of this plane. Heck, even the Fw 190 AI can't compete whatsoever against the other planes.

 

Also, it doesn't help that the canopy shimmers and reflects like it was an attraction at the funfair.

Tactics differ in the axis planes.

These are pure b n z fighters.

Flying against AI is pretty much worthless.

Anton is more than competetive. Avoid two circle flow, use flat or rolling scissors instead. Build energy advantage before fight. Here is my sloppy flying on Project Overlord server against AI P47 from yesterday evening. I had full tanks and Aux. I would turn with him with less fuel.

Have you disabled the afterburners for the AI enemy?

For that I have to edit the missions (e.g. instant missions) in the ME, correct? And I can't do that for campaigns, right? 

I wish this was a global option in the menu. Or, well, they just fix the AI and let the AI have the same limitations as we have and bring up the Fw 190 A-8 to post-July 1944 standards at the same time.

Good point.  Would be good to have a global override.  Probably asking a bit much to expect every campaign creator to update every mission in all of their campaigns.

Maybe ED can suggest s simple mod/file/config change that we could apply globally?
