Thought this rubbish had stopped already
oh and P.S.. the vertical bit? Yep thats what happens when you got E advantage, try it in a Hurri against a 109

Hey again lads. Re the quote above, well we would "take what we got" except "what we got" got taken away because all the blue pilots complained that they didnt have the advantage. I don't believe the IIa is overmodeled, but I understand that is debatable. What you can't debate is that the 109 is wildly superior to the Hurri and the Spit 1, both in speed and climb rate. So currently there is a major advantage to the Blues. Sure red can adopt tactics to try and level the field such as gaining altitude/teamwork etc - this will enable us to secure wins against rookie blue pilots, but against the better blue pilots you tend to get this:
-Blue boom and zoom over airfields.
-Red take off from distant field - fly around getting height for 10 mins, arrive on scene - bounce Blue 109's.
-109's dive for the deck and run for France, ascending slightly the whole way, or climbing and dropping, slowly pulling away from hurries/spits1's.
-Red turn back for coast, get bounced by another booming and zooming 109.
-Red cant run away. Red get shot down.
(oh and lets not forget the other advantage - Blue have significantly more chance of scoring a kill with a passing shot or a snap shot at the bottom of a boom/zoom because they have cannons)
Now I know there are some variations to this theme, and occasionally we get lucky and we can outfly blue from time to time if they decide to turn with us, but by and large the really good 109 drivers (cheeshawk havent flown with you but I'll include you in this), if they fly well will dominate red everytime by flying well and using good tactics.
So where does this leave us? The Spit1 is undermodeled (I think we all agree on this?) The 109's are currently severely advantaged and have (correctly) evolved tactics to make the most of this.
The best solution I see is to bring back the SPit II's in limited numbers as wat tried once before - maybe even make them fly from one of the fields further inland? Remember, blue will still have their cannons, and their tactics will still hold true, it will simply nullify their ability to fly around the airfields swooping on anything that takes off.
Oh and lets not forget the other thing - the flak is undermodeled too - last night Blue were happily flying around inside the flak zones without a care int he world. Does anyone think twice before flying into flak now?
As always, loving the debate - either way please dont get me wrong - love the game and have nothing but respect for the guys like Mogas and other great 109 drivers who own me in their 109's - I love the challenge and am more than confident these guys willbe more than able to hold their own against the SPit2. It's quite likely I will continue to fly the hurri as I love that bird, but I'd like others to be drawn into the server and not be scared off by the assaults on the airfields.
