In 4.11 I was able to use the P-40E to out-turn 109-F4 pilots online in a slow speed fight at low altitude, most of the time. I wasn't able to do this yesterday, though it was only one fight. The F4 and G2 were very tough opponents for the P-40 even before this patch, I hope it can still turn with an F2 or E.

The change I noticed the most is the fuel consumption, it seems like you need to take 50% fuel now to fly as far as you were able to with 30% before. Maybe it's the extra fuel weight that made me notice the low-speed turn rate decrease?

My early overall impression is that life will now be even tougher for P40 pilots facing German opponents, but things should still be OK or even better against the Japanese.
