I flared too high, stalled, bounced, broke a wingtip off on the pavement, collapsed my landing gear and destroyed the engine.
Whoops.
This wouldn't have happened in Dover. Landings are stupidly easy in Dover. All of them. Throttle back, hold her straight, and she'll grease on so smoothly it's hard to even know when she's down until you hear the wheels rolling. Every single time.
I'm very much enjoying so many features in Dover... but I miss the punishing landings in '46. I don't want the plane to forgive my sloppiness. I feel like I've been cheated out of the satisfaction from setting up a perfect approach and sliding on a perfect three-pointer. I want that perfect landing to be difficult.
Anybody else thinking the same?

Ahhh the old "is the glass half full or half empty discussion". I love these.
The reality is we tend to use in sequential order as our memory recollects as the baseline of things.
If you were to time warp back to 1940 and actually were tied tightly into your create back then and were sent up over London...you'd probably say that this isn't as hard as IL-2 1946. And then everyone would be like "What???"
It's all a matter of what your expectations are. And what your experience with it was before. If you never had done this prior to CoD...then this thread wouldn't be here.
If it was the goal to be like 1946...they'd do it. But then pretty much everyone here has a copy of that laying on their table. Mine is being used to prevent a water ring on my desk at this moment with my mountain dew can sitting on top of it.
But the glaring truth is it's not supposed to be the same. |
