What the hell has happened to the Bf-110's lengendary rate of climb??

[Panzergranate]

It is well documented that the Bf-110 had a phenomenal climb rate when compared to the Bf-109 E, Spitfore II, Hurricane and other single engined fighters during the Battle of Britain.

In other flight sims, in the past, that have included the Bf-110 the most common evade tactic was to point the nose straight up and hit the throttles.

This was the common evade maneuver employed by actual Bf-110 pilots in combat.

Also, in BOP, the acceleration is non-existant and the Bf-110 flies nowehere near the true 293 MPH in level flight with WEP as recorded in actual test flight data.

Maneuvering wise, the Bf-110 handles pretty much as portrayed in literature and in other sims. Power wise it feels like a winged Harley-Davidson.... fat, sluggish and lathargic.

It isn't just the P-51 and Fw-190 that have not true to life characteristics in the game, though players have focused more on these than noticing some of the other mistakes in the game.

Hopefully a patch will appear to fix things.
