"...there is no RAF aircraft that can compete with the E4..."
are you serious?you are joking right?
we all know that all the planes in clod are not modeled correctly.there is plenty of stuff to do for devs regarding the FMs.
all planes are underperforming except the spit IIa.so if there is a uber plane, than its obviously the spitIIa.
besides the E4 is nothing better than the E1 or E3 except the Minengeschoss.it has the same performance as the other variants.the only difference is the auto-prop pitch....which in my view is not an advantage but actually a disadvantage as i can handle it manually better than the auto pitch is capable of.

while i consider myself a pretty good online-player, i would never call myself ace-of-aces, but im still pretty successfull.but you know why?its because people who are complaining that the bfs are uber planes, are constantly flying at altitudes below 3k.
so on atag server, i have shot several spit IIas, and not one managed to shoot me yet.but only because they are digging the weeds.
i had some really intensive fights at 5k with good pilots in hurris.and they are really dangerous if they know what to do.so if one would sit in a spitIIa,handle the aircraft correctly and use altitude, than even the most experienced bf pilots wouldnt have a realistical chance to win the fight(1vs1).

"Roll on the FM patch-whenever that will be"
hell yeah,the sooner the better and please as realistic as possible.
