Storm, IIRC they still cannot model correctly the aircraft's performance over 7km. They said it in a "update" thread I think.
On BoM it will be corrected, they said. |
No they said they'd correct it in the sequel.

So were the Luftwaffe just mesmerized by the showmanship of the RAF allowing them to get shot down?
|
Lol. I just see them freeze to ice and falling like stones to earth.
The Luftwaffe was basically outproduced, not necessarily outgunned. In fact, comparing fighter losses the numbers lost are pretty even to my knowledge. |

Talking about the italian planes he said that they were well looking, with good aerobatic characteristics (italian pilots were famous for their flying skill)... he was smiling as he thought those things where useless in a war... When he talked about the 109 he changed his expression: "that was a real war machine..." he said. In the same interview another italian veteran who flew the 109 said that the Mustang was their dangerous enemy, since he could outturn them very easily (!!! :-) ) |

BTW the RAF destroyed just about 20% more aircraft than the LW with the advantage to fight over own territory. It is not to dismiss the capability of the RAF pilots who did an outstanding job nor the performance of the RAF planes. I personally think from the performance sides (planes and pilots) both sides were quite equal. Other aspects however came into the game: LW used better fighter tactics. RAF fought over own territory. LW set out to conquer air supremacy. RAF defended their home country. LW had - at least initially - the higher numbers. RAF had radar and a very clever defence system. LW had experience. RAF had better fighter production output. To my opinion having read a couple of books I think that this battle, which was overall a battle of attrition was won by the RAF by shooting down not more aircraft than the LW but by shooting down aircraft quicker than the LW could replace before the LW could achieve its objectives (also due to highly flawed German strategy). That's why Britain won. |
I think you missed my point Manu, especially that part where I used the term "Ceteris Paribus". You speak as if you always have advantage but in war you cannot guarantee that, just ask Al Deere.
I don't need flying advice, that's not what i'm talking about. @Von Bruhl Couldn't find your stats but mine are 37 missions, 16 kills, (0.43), shot down or hit and forced RTB twice. So, who are you online? |
