Thank you for the compliment on my flying Gunny. Never thought I was much above average, with an all too rare moment of brilliance.
I am eagerly looking forward to SoW, don't get me wrong. And you know I will spend most of my time online. And I've started rounding up the Pigs and we have been flying some amongst ourselves, with a few guests, to get back in shape.
My comments are based on what the "blue" flyers I know are telling me.
In essence don't expect historical outcomes because everyone will be flying with our long years of sim experience under our belts. I realize we cannot "dumb down" just to fit the historical time period. But just looking at the two main players, Bf109E and Spit Mk. I or II, the 109 is really holding all the cards. It's faster, it probably turns as well or better, it is superior in the dive, and it has far better guns. The only bug in the ointment for the Luftwaffe will be the one historical parameter that cannot be changed owing to the full scale map... Range/endurance. No matter what the 109s will not have much time to do their work, this is the one ace in the hole that the RAF has.
It will be interesting to see how it plays out online.
Hope to see you in the sky over the Channel, Gunny!
