Spitfire graphical shortcut

[dkwookie]

Don't know why I didn't spot this sooner but has anyone noticed the spitfire mk 16 uses the mk 9 model at mid distance? I was chasing a spit on cta the other day and it was a mk 9 until I got closer and I saw it visibly change to a mk 16. Looks like devs shortcutted on the model at mid to long distance. It was weird seeing the wing tips change shape on approach. Anyone spotted this with another fighter?

Yeah i've noticed it before, i remember it quite clearly as i recall spotting a mkIX and as i gained on him it magically turned into the XVI, i was rather confused and had completely forgot about it until you brought it up.

Not noticed it with any other aircraft yet though, im guessing they did the same with the La series

With the XVI you'll notice if your in cockpit view, your actually in the IX cockpit. If you rotate your ehad and look behind you you'll clearly see the radio antenna on the fuselage and also the lack of a teardrop canopy.

Ah well.

Yep saw this myself. I got confused myself. It was in similar circumstances but with me I spotted a Spit IX diving into a cloud off my port side and turned to chase. I punched out of the clouds and saw a Mk XVI in a shallow climbing turn and I was a like "Where did that IX go to then? He must have looped in behind me" and was looking for a target when there was nothing there.

It wasn't till I actually had a training mission in a Me109 against MkXVI spits that I realised It was a graphical shortcut.

This lack of attention to anything is getting me a little frustrated.

I think I may trade in this game. Wings of Prey has more attention to detail but even it makes blatant mistakes.

Back to IL-2 1946 for me. Peace out, ladies and gentlemen.

Yeah, noticed that. Can be a little disorienting at times. Usually, it doesn't matter much though, because I'm shooting at Spitfires anyway.
