Yes I like it. Now when the coolant / radiator is hit my 109's fate is spelt ... which is more realistic. Before one could run indefinitely and spoil the efforts of poor reds. BUT ... it looks like it's a little bit too frequent as a damage, IMHO.

Cheers!

Look at the profile of a 109 from behind. The rads are pretty big part of that profile. Rads are fragile for all planes. Put 1 round in and its only a matter of time not that long either. Now imagine spraying 8 machine guns or mineshells at it. I think thats pretty realistic.

I think you're mostly right. But I have the impression that rads get hit even when no .303 spraying is suffered, just stray bullets or flak shrapnels. Often the only recorded damage is in the radiator, which is quite strange. For instance I personally downed a 109 above Manston in this way, while trying the new red FMs, with only a radiator damage.

Just an impression again (but a strong one), I wouldn't put it in the bug section.

Cheers!

I love my 109, like Uther, still with the latest patch. Why you try to turn fight in it I don't get. Boom, give burst of MG and MGFF, zoom out. In trouble? Dive. 109 always, still, beats RAF in a dive. You don't have altitude to dive away? That's because you tried turnfighting and lost energy and altitude duh.

109 still rocks.



PS, yes i know that is not a 109e it is not a screenshot!

Who said hes trying to turnfight and is complaining that he cannot win in a 109? I must have overread that.

The devs need to continue to tweak the FM balance until there is equal amount of whining from both sides.

I'm thinking of adding this to my signature

This RC2 patch has evened things up fairly well, but the few issues I see as a "Blue only" pilot are as follows.

-109 underperforms at high altitudes > 6000m

-The sound radar still seems to alert red pilots to a 109’s presence (I can have a spit 50m behind me and I hear nothing; my canopy is fully closed)

-Radiators on the 109 do seem fragile and seem to be the first thing to take damage

Fact of the matter is; if you’re in a 109 and you’re not above 5000m, you are not taking advantage of the main strength of your aircraft. Guys that hover over England at 2000m or lower are just asking for trouble.

Lol well said
