Many issues with the flight and damage modeling have constantly brought on some very contentious argument and debate over the past years on Il2 forums.

I've often thought how it would be if Oleg released default aircraft, along with flight model specifications and performance charts he actually used to create each aircraft. These default aircraft would be the only ones allowed within online play. I'm saying I believe there are modifications in the aircraft that aren't actual in order to provide more competitive air combat, or a more level playing field.

Wouldn't it be great to have the ability to amend those flight models according to actual full real world performance charts and specifications. These aircraft would be naturally only be flown online servers that allowed for modifications.

The comment made in the video interviews about the war was still being fought and won by the allies...even in games was right on. The 109 weighs 1,500 pounds less why wouldn't it climb faster than a P-51,etc. I did some tests within the FMB awhile back, and the G-2 without gun pods was a stellar performer in the full out climb over just about every aircraft. I think there was one spit model that was a bit better climber. I couldn't test the turn rate adequately, or at least in a way to may a good comparison. So, effectively I think the 109F and 109G2 aren't run down for better online play.

Thanks for the video Icewolf, very interesting.
