S!

This is where RoF has the edge. The planes do not blend or disappear 500m from you. In one patch they improved the contrast and how planes are modelled against terrain. And that made a difference. The planes sure are hard to see in certain situations, but they do not magically just disappear. CoD has same LOD problems as IL-2 had, sadly.

So if the viewing/LOD would be fixed too then we would have it as it should. Now you can have FM/DM down to the last nut and rivet but if you can not see things how will you use that?

No, they turn into mini 5 pixel X-wings which stay the same size regardless of how far away they are. It's rubbish.

It's still better if we have to fight... it's rubbish if our priority is to make screenshot at our plane and silly things.

So from these two I choose the ROF's one all the day. Of course both are not right.

The Insuber's episode is an example of why I don't fly IL2 anymore...

I did test the Hurricane Mk I and the Spitfire II today. It seems further adjustments are necessary, as the update does not mention any tweaks in rolls rates.

The Hurricane rolls 1.5 times slower than it should at 400 mph IAS.
The Spitfire IIa rolls 3.2 times faster than it should at 400 mph IAS.

I did not test the rest but it seems likely that its true for the other Spits and Hurris too.

The Hurricane rolls 1.5 times slower, the Spitfire II (and probably all Spitfires and Hurricanes) rolls 3.2 times faster than it should at high speed

How can the Hurricane roll both faster and slower?

So the hurri now rolls too fast or too slow? Dont get me wrong i am a friend of nerfs/boosts as long as they are somewhat plausible but you once write the hurri rolls slower and in the following sentence it rolls 3,2 times too fast?

[Kurfürst]

The Spit II rolls too fast, the Hurri rolls a bit too slow. Sorry if it was misunderstandable.

So you guys are already complaining about the flight models for the FM revisions in the patch that hasn't been released yet...

The common saying here is usually: "Wait until the body is cold", but can you at least wait until it's born before you start trash talking?
