No mate, read my post again please.
What I am saying is that ALL discussions
about compared performance are close to useless.
Warplanes were not meant to be balanced and as such you will ALWAYS find people bickering about the in game performance.
Now, what I said was they need to fix the FM if it's flawed (and yes it feels weird but not just on the spit) but that has nothing to do with the core issue here. Which is people complaining about getting their butt set on fire by imbalanced planes.
The
only way to fix that issue is to give dogfight servers a way of having pilots fly the same plane against each other. That way they can't blame it on the plane or the FM but only on their skills. This is the only way to solve this ongoing discussion.
And please don't say the spitfire sucked so much after göring's stupid order that the 109s had to fly in formation with bombers e.g. Most opposed that stupidity and many 109s were lost and couldn't do a thing. I don't really care for the numbers to be honest since, and then again, I mentioned this in my post, I already said it depends on so many variables:
-For example the service status of the planes
-combat experience of the pilots
-formation they had to fly in (e.g. line formation for the brits)
-stupid orders they were under, like görings bomber escort insanity
-the fact that the germans had to fly over to the UK and only had about 10minutes fuel for combat
-the fear of getting shot down over enemy territory or the channel
-being rested or not
-being stationed far from home
-having good food or not
-etc.
There are SO many factors that contribute to the war -
we shouldn't mix up the results of the war with flying characteristics.
Fact is also that home pilots are:
-rested
-well fed
-have no fear of dieing
-always have a respawn button
-know all the performance stats
-know all the weaknesses of their enemies
-get unlimited training hours
-have perfect equiment at home
-got years to practice tactics
-etc.
We CANNOT simply come up with numbers of the war. We also cannot expect to neglect all the psychological effects the war did that affected the numbers. We can only try to come up with great flight models and let the dog fighters fight on equal footings and adjust co-op scenarios WITHOUT taking them too serious.
It's pointless to try and re-create the war. It will never work, never be balanced, ever. Machine performance wasn't the only thing that decided it. Maybe I'm totally wrong and just a complete tard but that's what I wanted to say
in fact I don't give a damn what plane is better if they have a decent FM that I can enjoy. For those who cry about imbalanced planes there won't ever be a real solution. In my opinion at least.
