I think they changed the default loadout because no one could understand they were not supposed to have tracers Spits often did not use them, they were attacking fighters and many pilots felt tracers just warned the guy you were shooting at..

Gentlemen!
Thank you very much for the update. Since the shadows seem to be a big performance killer (at least in my comp) I suggest the following video options for them:
1. cockpit shadows on/off 2. shadows of clouds on/off 3. shadows of trees on/off 4. shadows of buildings on/off 5. shadows of other objects on/off. This way every pilot can better optimize the game to best suit his own taste and equipment.

Hi Yvetette, may I suggest you to post your (good) observation here, so hopefully it gets the attention of the devs?

You could be right, although I did also select armour piercing, in the past I had a lot of trouble downing Stukas, online today, I brought one down with reasonable ease, but they may have also added AP to the default loadout, I guess a quick test with coloured tracer will tell the tale.
It's a lot smoother for me, a bit like they have taken the first beta with the smooth online play and combined it with the last beta with the good offline play, I was able to fly over the land no problems, so hopefully they got this right, although there is sure to be many that get different results, thats the nature of the beast unfortunately.
