British FM killing the fun of the game for allied pilots.

[*Buzzsaw*]

Salute

Anyone who looks at the historical tests of the Spitfire and Hurricane can see the current game FM's are completely out of whack. The fact you can't run the aircraft at 2700 rpm and +6 boost for ANY length of time without destroying your engine is clearly wrong. The fact none of the British aircraft can reach their historical max. climb or speed is another clue.

And perhaps the 109's have some small details, but when compared to the British aircraft, they are far better off, in fact their ability to zoom climb with ZERO energy is highly suspect.

Currently even those with a mediocre level of skill can fly the 109's successfully, those who have 10+ years in gaming will find the British aircraft not much good for anything but shooting down bombers, any attempt to engage an aware 109, even with energy and speed advantages, will result almost immediate reversal of the attacker/defender positions and a desperate fight to survive on the part of the British aircraft.

This situation is far from being a realistic portrayal of the situation in the air in the Summer of 1940. If British aircraft performed this poorly, the RAF would have lost the BoB instead of shooting down far more German aircraft despite being completely outnumbered.
