S!

I mostly fly blue but have tested out the red planes as well. I can say that the CEM model of the 109 is a bit off. You can slam the throttle 100% at mission start (no warmup needed) and take it off only when going for landing .. And it never overheats too. Also, what little I have used it, WEP doesn't seem to effect the engine negatively either. Only thing that needs attention is the prop pitch.

On the other end of the scale, I think some planes are "overmodelled"(correct term?) in the CEM department, like the G50 and Blenheim. Very long warmups needed... So long that a 109 pilot has done a couple of sorties in the mean time ... Even the slightest variation from the optimal values seem to cause some failure in Blenny.

On the bombers always low issue... well I can say that I personally am an exception. Regardless of the bomber type (thusfar I have flown Blenheim, Ju88, Stuka, 110) I always come to the target area at about 4km and circle behind the target so I can dive towards friendly lines. Any lower, and I get shot by the reds that seem to mostly keep below 2km... Well, not in Stuka... reds get shot when I come with it ... Most Hurri and Spit pilots don't seem to know that it turns better than them.
