4.11 overheat and engine damage test results

Seems valid to me (busy since I got back to work, but will test a few of your results randomly when time permits). I do see the 185 M-71 and La7 as being relatively unaffected by overheating (what country did this patch come from again?). Although, your spit 25lbs data is enlightening.

Another piss into the wind comment by you.
Get your act together and someone might listen to you.

No disrespect, but if we are being honest, in the few (about six encounters) instances where I have met a development member of Team D whose name I can associate with an online callsign, while fighting online, they were flying late war spits and the 185 M-71.

There were only three 185s ever built during the whole of WWII, correct ?

As to your comments Papa, I like em. I cant verify though whether real WWII pilots actually took it to a full apex climb very often. (I suspect, they did not, because no air force sent out lone wolfs on a hunt, lol. They likely flew just as JG27 does online in Grij Dedicado. In 2 to 5 plane flights commanded by a major and using team tactics. As correct as I suspect you are, reducing the FW flight models, puts a major dent in their lethality using 4.11, unless you really do fly always as a team (where one guy can always be cooling his engine , while another dives, and so on, ...).

Great idea Swiss, give me a link where you wanted it posted ?

As to JG27 Tazu, Papa. Fought him and many of the other JG27 guys on Grij Dedicado. Hard because I always fly solo (you can tell how powerful my diplomatic skills are at winning over new friends right ? ) So, very tough, bc its me, and some doofus who cant fly the P51 versus two to five guys all flying the Dora or Antons as they should be flown and using Teamspeak.

Tazu is the one I see who seems to be getting the groove of what it means to really put the Dora to its limits. Ask him his opinion.

Great Swiss, at work at the moment, but tonight I will do the simple test I have already described and you guys take a look. Post that NTRK later today.

Now I'm curious, who is that guy that flew I-185?

BTW what some player's plane choice on the server have to do with the game FM?

It's a conspiracy...that's why

Thanks PapaFly for taking the time to do this testing! I find objective testing that is repeatable is much more useful than anything else. It does confirm my earlier (and simpler) testing and shows that generally things seem to be as they should be...or at least certainly that no one plane has any real usable advantage. The I-185 does seem a bit on the odder side but then it's an odd plane... I never really see it these days.
