Thanks Papa, for the testing.

Seems valid to me (busy since I got back to work, but will test a few of your results randomly when time permits). I do see the 185 M-71 and La7 as being relatively unaffected by overheating (what country did this patch come from again?). Although, your spit 25lbs data is enlightening.

One critical note though:

Not only is it that the engines overheat very quickly now on the late war FWs, TA and P51, but also that the flight models (FM) for the FWs and TA have changed for the worse. In attempting to replicate to finer detail the late war models, Team D altered or neutered, several of the FWs and the TA H1. With the switcher, you can see a clear level flight speed reduction in the TA 152 H1 between 4.10.1 and 4.11. So, the complexing effect now of not only the overheats but the reduced flight models means the TA 152 and to a slightly lesser extent, the FWs are to a great or medium extent reduced in lethality. It is an emergent property that comes from a complex combination of the two effects (overheat and reduced flight models).

As to your comments Zorin, disagree. Focke Wulf pilots who dive down on a tight turning spit, go for a high deflection shot and then zoom climb back up another 1800m very close to stall speed are doing exactly what the FW was built for. That is not the sign of a rubbish pilot, it is the sign of upper level player who is comfortable in the flight envelope of Boom and Zoom. And they better be too, cause the spit 25lbs can on boost climb 1300m even from low IAS and shoot you in the tail. So you have to use boost and you have to climb right to apex stall speed. In zoom climb on 4.11, I can put the TA 152 H1 in severe overheat in one pass, in three I can smoke the engine. That does not concord with the historical record of this Kurt Tank killer.

KG Alpha - I cant see a reason why you felt you needed to close the other thread. Your comments about read what is in the 4.11 patch notes make no sense if you dont agree with the accuracy of the patch.
