About the test vs. La-7? Of course online. Human vs. human.

well, la-5FN and 7 in game it's strange mix of good and bad and we just can't say what it's etalon/prototype... so, it's or very good planes for mid'43 and early'44, accordingly, or normal planes for late'43-44 and for late'44 (and we not have la-5f and fn'44 with metal spars = minus 70-80 kg, if i not wrong)...
la-5 and la-5f have correct performance, but have some errors here, and we can't say what it's really good planes... and we not have first series of la-5 (only 3d model)... Quote:

here we talk about real changes for game, i think, and if personally for me - or how was, or not - i DON'T want, any really far-fetched balance and "lie" in game, like in your post and like NOW in game... and i think, this not SO hard, but need more time sometimes (about lot of "easy to do" planes start think, many time ago, some peoples, who was first - i'm not pioneer here)...

![]() well, here we see science + competent conclusions of the specialist (i hope, you not like one user here, for whom opinion of the начальник Главного артиллерийского управления (ГАУ) and some findings from docs - it's "just opinions" ![]() 3 yak-7b with 522 (25 % from all in RL in 43, i think), 531 (50 %) and 543 (25 %) km/h at SL etc (it's just a sample), and with these planes we can simulate anything, anytime (with bad quality - but be OPERATING - and early version, with good quality and latest version, etc)... + very correct modelling of real, mass defects and problems (if DT wants)... if someone wants "something special", because thinks what "soviet planes do drunken bears under guns of NKVD, and fly on this planes ugly untermensch's", he just take yak-7b 1941 instead yak-3... well, everyone is happy... ![]() anyway, it's my opinion and can be only my opinion... |

Also people shouldn't underestimate interest in a wide variety of aircraft. I love Russian aircraft and have a great interest in them even when my early interests were more with Spitfires and Mustangs. The Yak in particular has become a great interest to me. On the subject of versions of Spitfire these are the versions you should actually count: Spitfire V Spitfire VIII Spitfire IX Seafire III Everything else is a minor variation change with different supercharger, armament, desert filter, and/or clipped wings. It adds a lot of places on the list but they are not really separate aircraft. There are still more versions of 109 (even if we compress the list due to minor changes to canopy and tail section).

Hey guys !!!
I think they should take a look on russian fighters damage model because we hit those planes and even when they start to smoke or lose a aileron, russian planes still can fly with no penalty to their performance in speed or agility :/ If you are playing in a bomber, forget about it !!! Because you can hit one million machine gun bullets in russian fighters engine and nothing happens ![]() |

I always look with suspicion performance figures reported by any source. Looking at numbers, even when authoritative sources agree on them, some historically acknowledged facts are unexplainable. Examples are legion. Looking at numbers, one wonders how on earth Soviets could successfully fly the P39 against late model FW190 and Bf109, when the RAF discarded the very same plane in 1942 as “unsuitable”. A slower LA7 could be more realistic, yes, but what about overall tactical and strategic situation? Late war months saw Luftwaffe fielding very good fighters, but they were outnumbered, plagued by poor manufacturing quality, bad maintenance and sabotage, and often flown by inexperienced pilots. A “realistic” sim should be able to reproduce the whole picture. If such a goal could be reached, the end result should be that early and late war months will be barely playable, too easy for LW in 1941, with almost no survival chances for VVS pilots, and the reverse for 1945. Tweaking La7 performances would make very little difference, if any. In my opinion, Daidalos team is doing an excellent job in improving AI. In the end, this will gave all of us a much better and realistic sim. |

If a Russian plane looses an aileron/elevator/rudder the effects are the same as on other types of planes. Damage to the fuselage, wing, and other components also (sometimes severely) affects the handling. Try and fly any Yak with a damaged wing... it's not a fun flight home. A couple of bullets into a Yak's inline engine will kill the engine. I'm not sure how this impression was formed but I'd suggest some significant stick time in these aircraft. If you really want to see... get your buddy online to fly next to you with a turreted aircraft and have him shoot at different components surgically. See how it affects the aircraft. Here's where the problems are: The graphical effects of there being damage to some of the older aircraft in the game doesn't always seem to appear. Hit the La-5 or La-7 (any model) in the engine from a rear gunner (from a bomber) and it will stop producing power, the RPM will drop, and the plane will begin to glide. But from a graphical point of view the propeller keeps windmilling and there is no smoke. Why this happens on the Yak or La series I'm not sure. The German planes got a lot more attention through the years IMHO and they seem to have kept up with the upgrades. On a Spit/P-47/F6F it'd have oil leaks and other stuff going on. I was recently surprised to see thick black smoke coming from a damaged Yak... something I'd not seen previously so TD may have given this some attention already. But the bottom line is that the damage is being done and performance is affected. Sometimes the graphics aren't always showing it as well as they could.

I guess they have never experienced the dreaded "Yakwing" first hand IceFire.
A couple rounds in the wing and a Yak is essentially combat ineffective.

Probably not. Sure doesn't sound that way. I suspect there is some grass is greener on the other side stuff that goes on. The only way to explain some comments.
