Are you saying you cant pull the trigger on the AV8R with your finger and press one of the colour buttons with your thumb?...I'm pretty sure I can.

re-definable button layout with the update will fix that, I never use rockets or bombs anyway.

King Jareth, could you edit this in your original post (trying to keep 1 thread on the updates here):

All unlock conditions are decreased by 80% (i.e. original value divided by 5) except for the B17, "because it's special aircraft for community and we want to stay this aircraft as symbol of MP achievements." The conditions for the B17 have been decreased, but not by as much.
There have been no changes to the types of unlocks, so most unlocks remain MP-only.

(all taken from the original post on the dev's forum.)

Thanks for the heads up Seraph, its updated.

So now it will be destroy 10 ground targets with rockets in a P-51D? Thats better but still a major pain.


Edit: Also I'm still hoping for word that the P-51B will get its name corrected to Mustang IA with its weapons corrected to cannons.

I LOVE flying the Hurricane in this game, it's a pity that I so rarely find matches where it can hold its own.

In fact, I used to prefer the Spit over the Hurricane, but this game is beginning to change my mind.

On that, I spoke to a RAAF veteran who flew during the Battle of Britain, and he swore blind that the Hurricane was better than the Spit in almost every regard. Besides the obvious factors of wide wheel base etc. he swore it was faster (?!), far more maneuverable and that most RAAF and RAF pilots greatly preferred it to the Spit. Any idea if that sweeping generalisation has any truth to it?

They both have good and bad points. I guess the pilots defended and so prefered the plane they flew whether it was a Spit or a Hurri. Even if a Hurri pilot got to fly a Spit for one day, he might still say "Its very nice but i prefer the hurricane" through his allegiance to the Hurricane.

A modern day aquivelent would be someone praising the model of car they have.

Or like fanboys defending their games console 360 v PS3. PS3 is more powerful but is it better? Thats debatable. Same with Spit V Hurri.

In 1940, battle of britain...i'd take the hurricane. Attacking bombers and dogfighting it could hold its own and all was pretty even in a dogfight, nobody had a HUGE advantage.

Im a realist though,

so anything after 1940 and its a dogfight...i'll take the spit. As much as i love the hawker hurricane, i know that after the battle of britain it pretty much became obsolete as a fighter. The spitfire on the other hand didnt. It constantly got upgraded and turned into an excellent fighter plane, in my eyes...the best dogfighter.


to comment on whats in bold.....

The preffered the wider wheel base, because it made it much easier to land than a spitfire, and a lot less accidents occured because of it.

faster than what? It was faster than most of the bombers, but generally it was slower than the 110 and the 109 and spitfire.

the hurricane was able to out turn the spit and the 109 in 1940, due mainly to its wings and the thickness. If a 109 went into a turn, the hurricane could out do him

As robotic pope says though its always going to be a debate, much like the PS3 v 360, and like modrn days cars.

Another similar example would be the B17 flying fortress V the B24 liberator

Im not very knowledgable on heavy bombers, but i know the B17 was the one that caught the publics eye and imagination in america, yet the liberator could carry more bombs and fly higher (i think higher?).


On a side note - robotic pope, some good games last night mate, some great flying on your part
