Wink Bombers pulling high "G" loads

When I say it's long past time this were fixed, what I mean is the game should never have been released this way. I know you Daidalos Team guys haven't been tinkering with the sim that long, relatively speaking. I don't blame you for the fact that Oleg never did anything about it, but I do think something like this, that would benefit everyone and greatly improve the realism of the sim, is very much worth the time it would take to do it, no matter what needed to be pushed to the back burner.


I.D.
I am 57 years old and my father and uncles were soldiers. I was fortunate to be acquainted with so many of that generation, most of whom are now dead, and I miss them. Your post reminded me of a short conversation I had with one such, an ex RAF navigator who flew in Handley Page Halifaxes. He new I was interested in aircraft because I have a private pilot licence, fly microlights and used to be a jumper (parachutist). He mentioned that the early model Halifaxes often did not recover from a 90 degree bank. Incredulous, I said: "Surely they did'nt put a 4 -engined aircraft into a 90 Degree bank!!." (I thought he was joking.) He simply said:"They did with a fighter on their tail!" Your post made me laugh, that's all. Suggestion; Get high on their flank, dive and make high-speed firing passes. If it were too easy it would become boring.
