To close the Topic on P51s and FWs once for all

[Pup]

Interesting graph, but I don't see what topic this is meant to close. If it's the ones where people have complained that the P51 is a dog to fly in game, and started to stall at even very slight turning rates, then the fact that the developers have mentioned this will be fixed because it is modelled with full fuel tanks, has already put that topic to rest (for now). I don't remember anyone saying that the P51 should turn faster than a Spitfire though.

Is THIS the point he is trying to prove? I read the post a few times, and looked at the graph. I understood it all, but I did not get what topic he was trying to close . I thought he was trying to prove that the P-51 was accurate or no in this game. now i get it .

Dont think anyone who knows a bit about ww2 planes, thinks the p-51 can outturn the spit, right?

Thnx for the info anyways , for whatever reason it was posted

In dubya dubya too, as in the first world war, everyone played on simulator mode.. so without "radar" it was extremely common to be shot out of the sky from the six o'clock low without detection of your adversary until you were in a flaming world of sh*t.

I enjoy the hell out of this game on realistic mode or simulator, unlimited ammo and all.. but I'm really looking forward to the corrected flight models for the P-51 and FW-190's.

It might also be fun if the developers limited the use of WEP in realistic mode in accordance with the various engine profiles and capabilities. In realistic mode I'm running it 90% of the time for 20 minutes on end without consequence. Added strategic elements are fun for everyone.

Well I found an accurate article which explains precisely why the P51 and FWs are not really well suited for our kind of online game (low altitude turning dogfight) even if they have a strong reputation.

So I found interesting to share it with you.

Ok ok I admit that i Use a kind of provocative title.

I think when the update arrives, there will be more boom and zoom, instead of all turn and burn. Now it was just impossible, because the planes were not performing good enough (except for the jets). And with the upcomming blackouts, it could change the online play drasticly

The P-51 and FW190 may not be very well suited, but in the hands of a good pilot, they shoot be able to make the rookies go down hard. dont you agree?

I'am totally agree with you. Even in a turning dogfight a P51 or FW190 can take down a spit, if the Spit Pilot do not know how to use its plan to its limit

About BnZ even if it's a difficult tactic, with the patch it will be possible at least, and we'll see more intersting dogfight.
