You might be wrong though... +9 without BCC-O. What happened if you used boost override in a Mk.II? +12lbs. happened. Was it used? Yes indeed. It does not make sense because if Mk.III has been modified to be able to withstand higher pressures and +12lbs. has been authorised and widely used, the Merlin XII was basically next step of these original modifications + some other things that helped with durability and cooling etc. It was certainly capable to withstand the +12 boost which has been also authorised AND used in real life. +9 for Merlin XII was what was +6.25 for Merlin III.

Honestly appreciated.

It looks promising, both the engine and FM fixes. I have bought the thing when it was released to support Oleg, but I do not have time for a semi-finished product, except for a few quick dogfights.

Online, I haven't been since the old Il-2 times with my Squad.

I see, I do remember you from Il-2. I was wondering about Cliffs of Dover as I've never seen you flying anywhere. There is nothing wrong with that, I understand your reasons. The thing is although you're trying to help and perhaps to create some balance so the arguments would not become biased on the RAF for example... But you sort of miss the touch with the acual sim reality, in my opinion of course. That's why you probably don't see how ridiculously big and unrealistic the gap between the FMs is at the moment and the sheer frustration of anyone who tries to fly for the RAF. Even the LW guys see there is no fun in it now. It would be okay if that would be what it was during the actual Battle of Britain. But it was not.
