gaunt1, Derda508, IceFire, please post here a track 8vs8 spit/me109 average level whatever year and then show how brave you are. Is simple to say just theoretical WORDS about how to be an ace-player like you all are arguing to be.
I'm waiting..  |

Just did a few 8v8 runs against Spit F.Vbs in both the 109F-2 and G-2, 5000m alt. Challenging, yes. BS? Not hugely. I even got fired on quite a few times but made it through with minor battle damage on the G-2 and barely scratched the F-2's paintwork (until I got target fixation and stupidly collided with the second-to-last Spit
)
AI Spits tend to do some odd things like insanely fast barrel rolls, but I've seen far crazier stuff from human players. The seeming inability of the AI to blackout is what irks me most. Veteran and Ace AI do perform some dubious deflection shots at points where I'm pretty sure they shouldn't be able to see you from the cockpit, let alone accurately track you, but that's just my experience and not solid fact.
Friendly AI does need a lot more babysitting command-wise, because the enemy flight leads are instantaneously dishing out orders that you have to take time (and remember) to do. That's where I think people fall into the trap of thinking friendly AI is useless - the AI-led ones are being given orders that you're not thinking to do.
I'd gladly upload a couple of tracks of the fights, but it seems the forum doesn't like me uploading attachments and I can't be arsed recording them and putting them on YouTube. If you whinge enough and I'm bored enough I might

I don't know about that, the LaGG-3RD is pretty awful at doing anything other than burning...then again, beating the jetLaGG at anything is like an adult beating a 4 year old in a running race
