I dont know if i'll fly allies or axis but in both cases it seems not fun at all. I know some aircrafts are superiors to others, but at least 70/30...

Hello and welcome.
I think we have a first here. Even though you never tried the game, your first post is a Flight Model whine.

So I'm really curious how this will change after you've played the game for a few days.
OK. About the online "imbalance", here's my observation from my online experience. In the last week or so, the teams were so loopsided against the Brits, that I don't even think a Spit 14 could compensate for the 4-5 to 1 advantage blues have online. The whole week I wasn't able to fly German because they had more than three to one advantage in numbers.
It's laughable to see fifteen blues against four reds and still the blue players cry of "unfair advantage". If it wasn't for the AI bombers, to keep some of those 109's busy, they would all be over the British bases vulching those Spits that spawned on the side of a hill.
Last night I just went in and flew blue for two three sorties, to wing with a friend. The numbers were so bad I lost all interest to fly the rest of the evening.
The Spit 2 is a very capable plane and it outperforms the current German planes, but saying it outperforms them by a margin of 85/15 is absolutely retarded.
I shot quite a few human flown Spit 2's online to know that those that sold you the bullshit are smoking crack.
This is pointless anyway, as in my experience, the Germans always have huge advantage in numbers.
You see. Some people are still fighting that stupid 70 years old war. Some people, in this combat flight sim community, will whine all the way to the grave.
For some the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. They always look at things, and specially flight models, with thick blue or red colored glasses.
I see people whine about the Spit 2 performance, when they didn't even see the Spit that bounced them, I see people in Spit 1A cry when they get shot in a fight with a BF-110, after they did four five obvious tactical mistakes in a row.
Don't buy everything they are trying to sell.
For now, though, the biggest problem online is not the Spit2, but people that fly only German and absolutely refuse to balance the teams.
This beta patch is retarded in this respect, as you can't tell how many people are in teams before you spawn a plane on the field.
So please, try it yourself before starting to whine. At least you'l have a vague idea what's going on.
