Neither do I. It just seems to roll and spin at every turn. Kinda like that P51. I even turned the sensitivity way down, and it still stalled out and spun!:-x

It's a bit light in the armament dept. too. And Soviet Ace is right, from what I've read about it it should handle better. Maybe now people will stop saying the devs hate America because of what they did to the Mustang.

yes soviet you are biased but from reading your posts you have converted me from the Spitfire to LA5's and Yaks so its all good. Now i am biased towards russian planes too :)

And that lovely MC 202 is powered by a nice DiamlerBenz BF-109 engine. :-P

Of course you're biased but who gives a shit? I have learned 90% of my knowledge on Soviet aircraft from you so keep it coming. I do have issues with the way some planes are represented in the game (ME262 is too slow, the fw190 should be more stable, same for the P51 etc etc) but this has nothing to do with you. But yeah I think some Soviet aircraft are a little too good but again I am very biased towards german machines and I don't feel bad about it.

Only good in the right hands :D


its the pilot that makes the plane. A good pilot flying a 109 could comfortably take down any of the ruski planes. You know your planes strong points and the enemies weak spots then your already on to a winner :)

Were flying in the era where its the man not the machine. Though.... stay away from the P51 and the FW190 for the time being hahahahaha :-P :o :grin:

In my short time on this forum i have found your posts to be clear to the point informative and helpful. You are obviouly passionate about soviet planes and are very knowledgable on the subject yet do not belittle others who do not as some member do.
This passion in some peoples eyes may come across as bias and forcing it upon people. i would strongly disagree.

I completely agree which is a big reason this era fasinates me! I just feel that there is a slight bias towards the performance of the Soviet aircraft vs reality. Not much, but just a little, I could always be wrong. I came from below and behind on an il2 in a 109F4 the other day in Realistic and pumped a point blank 3-4 second burst right into the heart of the fuselage with visble gun and cannon hits numbering likely in the hundreds and literally nothing happened except a very faint smoke trail, I peeled off and went after something else. To be honest I completely avoid il2's when I see them. Don't get me wrong I like a challenge but this has happened enough that I can't be bothered anymore. One of the worst intances came when I got out turned one whilst piloting a Spit!!! Give me a break.

This is one small part I dont like overall this game is incredible.
