SIM HQ Review of CLOD

[T}{OR]

Agreed. A very nicely done review.

I like the review as well.

But one thing I noticed was his explanation of the difference between 109 E3 and the E4. According to Tom the E3 got the MG-FF (correct) and the E4 came with the MG 151/20. Wtf?

[esmiol]

yes i thought that the E4 was armed of MG-FF/M

the MG 151/20 was on the F4 no?

there were MG 151/20 on E4? i knowit was develloped in 1940 but i didnn't know E4 was equiped with.

MG 151/20 is not 20mm canon but 15mm

Woot I thought MG 151/15 is 15mm and MG 151/20 was 20mm.

Its not working? I thought it was Boost issues not working correctly on the Spit 1 n 1a?

Well for me its not, unless Im doing something wrong, but when i set the prop pitch on the Spit1 or 1a the only settings I have is either '0' or '100', whereas the Hurricane you can set the Prop pitch to whatever you require, I was flying the other night online and I left the spits for dead in the Hurri.

Yep the hurri is loads faster and can climb better too....

I thought this PP issue was put down to the Mk's and the 1 n 1a only have the 2 stage prop..could be wrong though

You are correct. It is basically the same gun but with a different bore.

The MG151/15 was used in the earlier version of the 109F, the 151/20 was installed from F-4 and forwards.

The 109 E4 never had the MG151, as we have discussed in all kinds of threads, the difference between E3 and the E4 was the MG FF/M ammunition.

A very fair review I thought.. more or less 'nail on the head'..

[Baron]

Only thing i have/had a problem was this statement, mainly because its just not true:


"My PC isn’t the top-of-the-line box anymore, but it is no slouch either. It can run almost anything on pretty much full settings, but it chokes on CoD."

System used:

Intel Core 2 Duo 8500 processor
ATI Radeon HD 5770 graphics processor
Asus Maximus motherboard
4 GB DDR2 RAM
WD 300GB HDD
Windows 7 Home Premium


I can name a fair amount of games that would eat that setup for breakfast on medium settings even.


Same goes for the statement that no other game have anti epilepsy filter (true that he said: as far as he knows)


Nitpicking i know, but if you are not 100% sure, dont write it in a official review on a majot flight sim site.



Other than that, it seemed a fair assessment except for his take on the colours, witch is a very personal preference so its no wonder some people will disagree.
