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.
I'm fairly certain that Oleg Maddox denies doing this in IL-2, and says he tried to match performance to the actual data he had, as accurately as the sim would allow. With conflicting data, and some aircraft having much less documentation than others, it is inevitable that controversy will occur, but I'd like to see evidence to back this up before suggesting there has been any deliberate 'adjustment'. Merely saying that because a particular aircraft underperforms according to your interpretation of the data, there has been deliberate tampering, as I have seen argued, isn't proof of anything.

In any case, this thread is about BoB:SoW. We should at least wait to see how the aircraft perform before complaining.
