Wow! I was missing these direct answers by the devs!

Luthier, I agree with your decision about the SpitfireMkIb.
Anyway I think that you should still take "unreliability" in account in the weapon model since one day, hopeful, some fighters will use mk108s and mk103s.

I don't understand the part about the structural limit: it's only about max speed and no G forces? If it's like that I fear that will have again dogfights defined constantly by 7G turns. It would be nice to have a fatigue model linked to the G forces.

Thanks guys!

My reaction to this update was something like this:


EDIT: please guys, can you avoid "BS" as short form for our friend BlackSix?... use something like "B6"...

A whole generation of pilots learned to treasure the Spitfire for its delightful response to aerobatic manoeuvres and its handiness as a dogfighter. Iit is odd that they had continued to esteem these qualities over those of other fighters in spite of the fact that they were of only secondary importance tactically.Thus it is doubly ironic that the Spitfire’s reputation would habitually be established by reference to archaic, non-tactical criteria.
