Hopefully now when we vent a 109 it can only run for a short time before it starts to experience engine failure....and won't be able to fight as if nothing had happened like it used to...Tired of venting 109s and them outrunning my untouched Spit...then out climbing me and fighting as if they were never hit in the first place...fighting even a moderate pilot in a 109 when he can out run you ,out gun you and out climb you....sometimes you only get one chance at getting a bead on them...so you need every break you can get in an allied aircraft!

I also fly 109s and there is no fear when engaging or even being outnumbered by spits and hurris....If they hit me/ vent me I can usually make it back home with no worries or outrun them, turn and catch them as they head for home.....

Hopefully the fear factor is back with the axis....
I flew last night on ATAG and got my "water reservoir" punctured and 20-30 secs later the engine started shaking and I gradually lost power! Its great effect but isnt it too overdone now?? Shouldnt I be able to fly for say 5 minutes for the engine quits?

Anyway, the patch is a great step forwards!!!
