109 cant do XXXX anymore.

Altitude also plays a big factor. I dont know how the altitude model is in clod yet. It sucked in 1946. For instance, the P51 really needed to be around 25/30 k feet to shine. But in 1946 we were left fighting below 20.
I imagine the 109 would preform better at much higher altitudes (just my thought).. but right now.. engagements online are between 6k and the deck.
Terrible place for a 109.

Well that's not really 1946's fault, it's a mission related thing. Sure the 109 gets better up above but the P51 gets much more power when going up, therefore it's best for the 109 to drag the Americans down to ground and once there finish them off, that's how I do it at least. Since 4.101 the P51 has become a very stable plane which can turn really well and put up a vicious fight even at very low altitude.

I have to say that I've now been playing HSFX 5.01 for a while and those new 109 FMs from Aaken are IMO spot on.
