History does speak and it says volumes that in the period of the Battle of Britain the UK lost more experienced fighters than the Luftwaffe the pressure on the RAF was to put it mortally was immense the bombing of bases, and attrition in the air caused an almost fatal shortage of manpower for fighting. The strain was getting to breaking point and only the shifting of target to cities relieved that pressure. This is not and CAN never be modelled in any sim/game ...............................................

Personally I think it's the pilot not the plane.

So tell me, how do you know who's who in a full real server (no icons)?:rolleyes: You can easily tell the difference between a spit and a 109. If you do what you want, then you can't fly without those bright red and blue icons.

this remind me that lots luftwaffe pilots just vanish and never show up in everyserver after the il2 1946 patch m4.07 is out. Do not tell me that you are not good enough. german is bad guy so has to go to h#ll. Finally I realize that this is just a game do not take it so serious. I still have lot things to do in real life.;-)

Guys, just ignore ElAurens. He's a BlitzPig, and they only recruit trolls to their squad.

as a 109 flyer to 95%, I like the SpitII adding on the server, no more cryings about HOW GOOD THE 109 is against the Spit and so on.....

now we have the E4, mineshells ruin youre day, if you end up infront of it. and by just taking a SpitII it is not a walk in the park for the guy, if he dont know how to fight....

for now a good SA is needed when fighting a SpitII and thats good how it is, I like it harder :grin: it should force people to start with teamplay....

As for the altitude argument I'm sick of the low flying as well. No matter if I fly for Red or Blue I rarely find anyone up above 2 Km and have to go low to find someone. As I've mentioned in previous posts it's really hard to see guys down low, over land when you are up high.

As for the "everyone is flying Red because of the MKII"... I don't know if ATAG had the MKII when I flew last night but I had to fly Red because everyone was Blue and I'm a 109 nut.

I'm looking forward to trying some more MP tonight! :-D even if I'm stuck in a Spit.

You find me between 3-5000m anytime lol....no ALT means NO energy if needed, some people will find it out as well sooner or later..

Everyone is also forgetting the massive disadvantage any Spit has against a 109 in that the engine cuts under negative G.

So if you catch a Spit of any mark on your tail, dive away as per RL. Or even negative G turns.

I got on the tail of two 109's last night and as soon as my bullets hit, the guy bunted away.
Inverting and diving is possible, but my reflexes aren't what they used to be.
I did follow him in manoevres, just, and got a few more rounds into him, but unfortunately his team-mate shot me first.

So even if the Spit II is faster, there are still ways to overcome.

Last night was the best online CoD experience I've had to date. Just fantastic.;)

Not true I chased a guy home in a 109 yesterday and he kept on trying to slowly gain height and then dive to use advantage of the spits engine cut out but I still got him :D I was just too fast.
