Worst WW2 aircraft flown in any simulator game.
I had a thought about all the various aircraft I've flown in numerous WW2 simulator games, from fighters to bombers, and started considering some of the bad ones.
Top of my list is the Curtis SB2-C Helldiver, which makes the lumbering Douglas Devestator look agile, by comparison..... I've actually managed a kill with a Devestator, in BSM, after some bozo managed to overshot me.
Back to the Helldiver..... OK so it has cannons but is so heavy, underpowered and clumsey that it isn't able to "mix it" with attacking fighters like the SBD Dauntless. Another factor is that the tail gunner can't see much behind the aircraft to shoot at either.
I've also been "bounced" and shot down by faster and more maneuverable "Judy" divebombers in BSP on too many occasions.
The Helldiver is a poor divebomber, when compared to others I've flown, as the poor pull up forces a higher bomb drop than normally expected, unless hitting the sea / ground is desired.
So the SB2-C Helldiver is the worst WW2 aircraft I've flown, so far, in a game.
Anyone else have any nominations??
