Which is the paint scheme on the F4? is that the green/grey or the desert?
Well if it had Cockpit view, I would enjoy it more. 3rd person seems to whacked for me personally. And the VC doesn't do it for me. My aim is off when I fly like that, in any plane?

And the F4 is the one I believe with the snake on the side? It has the yellow wing tips and nose cone.

the only 109 i think "looks" any good (looks, not performance) is the emile. I just wish they made the spitfire Mk2 and Mk1 and gave it the right camo scheme for the battle of britain. Would of like my hurricane to be more authentic to. But beggars cant be choosers i guess.

hopefully, they'll fix the p51d and fw-190. in the game, the fw-190 a-5 and F-8 both hane 2 guns and 2 cannons ( although F-8 can carry bombs.), but the D-9 has 2 20mm cannons and 1 30mm, IMO it has more stopping power, but handles worse...

I like the Emil as well. It's a good plane to go up against while flying around in my I-16. Since they both really did meet in the Spanish Civil War.

i find all the 109's are fairly easy to fly, they just dont suit my style of flying i'd of been crap in the luftwaffe as a fighter pilot lol.

I've been trying out the yaks (all models) and also the La5 and La7.......

i just cannot use the LA's they just seem so heavy and poor in a turn etc, hard to use. Maybe with more practise and patience it could be good..... but its just not for me.

The yaks..... nice to fly, smooth etc but not to good at taking hits and also has quite poor recoil i find. Might practise some more in the yaks though

still sticking to my spitfire for dogfights etc though lol.

Before I got on, I was flying my MkIX SPit against I think it was a 109F4? Maybe a G2? And I do like them. The MkIX is a good spitfire. I think better than the MkII or MkXIV? But I don't fly the MkXIV that much anyway.

And if your flying the Yaks and La's it is best to turn the elevator and ailerons about two or three notches from the max. It gives you a MUCH better turn rate and everything thing else. It works for me VERY VERY well, and I'm Soviet Ace
