SM.79 porked (or forgotten) damage model

The republican pilots were not lacking courage: they were fighting against more advanced and more numerous aeroplanes. Resources were lacking, including bullets and fuel.



SP!

So are you saying then that the speeds of either the I-16, the SM.79 or both are wrong in the game?? Because if the real life I-16 could not catch the SM.79 then why does the I-16 in game catch it easily? All of them from the I-16 type 5 to the type 24 will zip up the the butt of the SM.79 in no time without even trying in the game. Heck, look at the pics the dude posted showing the Gladiator catching the SM.79, which is far slower than any I-16!!

So is this wrong? Should the SM.79 be faster or the I-16 slower? So far nothing you say speaks much except that you are a SM.79 fanboi and are biased.

But yes, I agree with the general consensus that the damage model of the SM.79 as it is currently, is acceptable and not too tough. So I will agree with you on that level.
