Thanks. It's a good thing for me that I know what planes look like. I think flying a Spitfire makes it easier for me because all my wingmen have nice, elliptical wings, makingit that much easier to ID e/a.
I 100% agree on the controller setup. The fact that the rudder buttons are configured for full deflection and the fact that throttle has to be held is indeed pretty dumb.
If they fix that in the next patch (which I doubt) then I'd use the aviator layout for sure.
All that being said, I've had a blast on the first 7 missions I've played. 'Hornet's Nest' was not as hard as expected, though I initially got shot down by the swarm of 109's encountered after all Ju52's are destroyed. Shooting down the transports was fun though; I managed t fire off a single pair of rockets, blasting both Tantes to bits.
I finally got to the Siciliy missions, flying a Spitfire IX. For some reason though, my engine randomly shut off near the end of the mission. After destroying the ack batteries near the shoreline, I encountered several Macchis and Messerschmitts. On the tail of one of them, my engine simply quit, and I couldn't figure out why. I restarted the mission and it happened again. I wasn't using WEP, but I my engine did receive minor damage. Do the engines just quit after running for too long on damage? It's never happened in any other plane except for my Spitfire IX.
