It's now completely unfair, just for example, we had tonight an online campaign and as a hurricane pilot, I've just had three major issues :

First off, I burned the egine for climbing at 2800 rpm and was later told more than 2400 will cook the engine

Respawn.

Second, It took so long time to get at 17'000 ft only to find I can't exceed 120 mph IAS, I checked in the archives, the Hurricane Mk.I made IAS 230 at 15'000 and climbed to 30'000.

Shot down by 109 apparently dive zooming with a lot of energy on the all of us, Hurricane.

Finally, I had once more the usual 1 frame per second whenever there was many aircrafts around me.



It's not possible to drive any campaign in those conditions, and further and finally, it is a long time since we last had the information that developpers were aware of our problems.

So nearly a year and a half passed its existence, is there a will from the development to finally make the game perform correctly ?

It's playable as low flying short distances dogfight, Spit IIa versus 109, lower than 8000 ft, and not too much players around.

Passed that situation, nothing good much possible, that is an historical battle.

It is more than ever time to let us know what is happening. Each patch comes with problems to deal with.
We have seen much improvements in the first weeks, and as soon as it reached some quite stable and about correct performance, it just stopped to be really improved but it's not yet, in my opinion, where it should have been before even being realeased ready for public.

But we're - some of us - great fans of IL-2 and we desperately expect the right patch.

Please do something about it and keep us informed.

I would have thought your boost setting was a more important factor in cooking the engine than your RPM. With a constant speed prop you could maintain 2800 RPM while using excessive boost - that would surely fry your engine. Would be good to know the full picture - boost / mixture settings and speed, oil and coolant temps during the climb.
