After the crossing I went in a power climbing spiral at full WEP, 1.41 ata, while the Spit turned towards me loosing some of his energy. He kept lifting his nose some 200 m behind and lower on my right, trying to score pot shots, which he did, but on the fuselage. After some of this spiral climbing he stalled and went down spinning for some 500 m. I leveled and kept turning , looking at him to see his direction once he recovered the spin, in order to B&Z him...........when.........

exactemundo ! being able to use a correct evasive/offensive maneuver that utilizes the historically recognized strength of your aircraft is one of the most satisfying experiences in the il2 series since its inception.
now that the "great fix" patch is at long last about to be released and the sim is going to start being what it should have been from the start (say no more, say no more), we should be able to start enjoying CoD the way it was intended, as the most realistic high tech ww2 simulator available (i havnt been able to use it much so far on my mid end pc, CoD just doesnt run well enough). and for those of us that look at simulating the historical performance characteristics of each of those planes, and take the time to do it as well as we can based on historical information available, it is essential imho that the modeled performance figures are openly provided in a program like "il2 compare" was in the first il2 series.
i feel your pain for the frustration of the vanishing plane with the faulty LoD model at the end of that encounter :) |
