LW VS VVS PLANES at 4.10

[JG52Uther]

I think the only thing TD have done to the LW fighters is change the G limits,and forget to load some of the gunpods...

I await the fix for mk 108's myself.One hit to rip a fighter apart,three hits to shred a Flying Fortress.

Well, there's the bar below the windscreen in the 190. I'd say improved visibility counts for quite a bit.

I performed a G endurance test just a time ago. Flying the 190 i heard the "crank" at 8.5 G while the spitfire i heard at 9.7 G. Spits have more G endurance than Focke Wulf! I will say nothing, i am a bit used. As always...

Try negative G

I tested. I could not "crank" the spitfire in negative G and I tried a lot. In fact i could not experience more than -2.0G in the Spitfire. The Focke Wulf is relatively easy to "crank" in negative Gs.

The Focke Wulf broke at -3.8G~-4.0G. I could not anchieve more than -2.0G in the spitfire, maybe if i trim the spitifire negative i ll. I ll try later. In principle appears to me that spitfire has much better G endurance in 4.10. Why? Ask TD.

I did not tested other aircraft, but i guess that i ll have much more surprises. Kwiatek, what you expected to me observe while trying negative g's?

[Ernst]

Certainly "was not" technical advantage, Mustang.

Yes, Mustang. The allies won the war. They have to win in IL2 too, always. Spitfire is the perfect project, no compromisses.

You just said that the Spitfire could pull fewer negative Gs. This probably has a lot to do with lower average speed and the nose-up trim tendency of the Spitfire. What has that got to do with G endurance? If you could get the Spit to pull 3-4 negative Gs it would break as well. All it means is that an FW-190 can escape more easily in a bunt as long as the pilot is careful. That make sense?

[Ernst]

Ok. But how about the positive g's? Check the messages before this one. However i do not tried to trim the Spitfire to verify if it can go to more negative G's yet. Appears it had some positive trim on take off/start.
