They do. They do mad vertical dives while at the same time barrel roll and pull up like a stunt plane. It's bollocks. And they do super insane vertical climbs.

Ps. The Ai have Haxx!

Didn't the British use American hi-octane fuel in their spits and hurris? maybe that's the reason for Bf109E speed problems? .. COD is suppose to be very detailed, I suspect Oleg wouldn't forget a feature like fuel octane.

Currently the British aircraft are not getting the boost numbers that would coincide with 100 octane fuel use.

They are operating on 87 octane fuel.

The only fighters in the sim that get close to (or match) their real world counterparts are the following:

Spitfire Mk IIa, it says +8 lb boost but it gets +12 boost speeds. So it matches +12 lb boost running 100 octane fuel.

Bf110C is getting speeds for DB601A-1 equiped machines. About half of the Bf110s in the battle had the BD601N which was much faster, it is not modelled in CoD.

All other are either woefully underperforming or as ElAurens states, they are running 87 octane fuel. The order of porkedness ranges from 40-70kph depending on altitude. So the Hurricane I (DH), Hurricane I (Rotol), Spitfire Mk I (DH), Spitfire Mk Ia (Rotol), Bf109E and Fiat G.50 are all far to slow.

I'm going to attempt a video of this and show you and I will perform my kamikaze impersonation. Do this...get high as you can. Then take off. No wait I have that backward. Get as much altitude as you need to provide yourself a good attack angle and point your plane just ahead of them and keep it there. Give it gas. As you pick up speed you need to adjust prop pitch to a position that reduces your rpms and pressure to safe levels. Keep the throttle on full and watch your speed. It's not instant but as you approach them a convergence of your higher speed, higher altitude and convergence of your armament should be able to trash your bomber pretty well as you scream past them giving them the one finger salute. Rinse and repeat. And of course you can always run into them.
