FM discussion
 

I will add to the above and ask if the FM are still been worked? If you visit these forums regular you will see that the above topic is a massive discussion, as is the 109 planes greatly out doing the spitfires in performance. Everyone wants to know if these features will be switched back on and if there is going to be some sort of balance between the 109 and spitfires.

with "balance", what we need is the historical "balance" , where each plane has it own strength and weakness as was the case historically, so we can appropriately use the right tactics

right now in CoD the 109 is over performing in many aspects, and the spitfires are significantly under performing in many others, the end result is a very uneven match-up where the 109's have advantages that are not historically correct and for red flyers online the imbalance is so great it can prevent normal gameplay.

this has to be sorted out and fixed before BoM comes out :)

Indeed, we cannot mention FM's as the primary problem enough. Please try them yourselves before releasing another patch though, the last 2 have been a waste of time.

I think the balance of planes is low-priority to them right now as it really has nothing to do with the testing of the new graphics engine which is where we are at right now, I think any FM changes we have been getting are bonuses right now. I think they want to finish with the graphics engine before getting to deep into balancing...

Lets be honest, a discussion of balance gets pretty deep around here, and what they need right now is focus.

Of course this is just how I am reading into this, I may be wrong. :)

you might be on the wrong planet, or just havnt switched CFM on and compared online performance

if the current FM comparison btw the 109 and hurricane/spitfire would have been present in the real BoB, we'd all be speaking german now

I am flying 50:50. Means all my second flight is with Spit and Hurri. I have no problem with any 109, I shoot them down all on Servers. My result is that with Spit or Hurri it much much easyer to shot down the enemys. If I want easy kills then I take that Spitfire. If I want more risk I use the 109. If I am behinf a 109 she have no chance no more. To come behind a 109 is so easy for every newbie.

I fly always online in ATAG Server! In real my friendy the 109 can turn with the Spit and with flaps much better for the first circle. Spit fly like a UFO now. If you can handle that shoot down easy 109 then you need learn it.

That's great news! Can you upload some tracks so those of us having problems can learn how?

This is great news! :grin:

Yes take a video of you shooting down all them 109 pilots with the spitfire and post use a track here and we will all learn from it. Hell I might even believe you if you do. Anyways, this thread isn't to discuss what you can do, but do post me a video in private and I'll make a post for all to see.
