Some more fun with 4.10, let's play a game.

Clearly it's all dependent on the type and loadout. Some planes are easy, especially the ones with contra rotating props left & right.

Taking off, flying and landing with empty loadout and 10% fuel is way easy. But with an SC2000 a He-111 can't even take off. Edit: Can be done, using chocks. But you'll be flying huge distances with the left engine at 110% the whole time. Very hard.

A Betty is a challenge due to the very heavy torque.

Using a Mig 9 is even more troublesome because of the engines placed in the fuselage. Even more so because of the Mig 9 throttle bug. And you have to plan every move because of the very slow response in turning. Haven't made a succesful landing in that one yet.

You can even do this with a Do-335, using the torque differential between front and rear engine

A TB-3 with 10% fuel and no ammo is funny to watch talking off: Put chocks in, run those engines to 110% & max RPM and release chocks. Never seen a TB-3 gain speed so fast and take off almost vertically
But, if you don't throtttle back it will stall. Using only the engines you can maintain a steady climb with 70 km/h, if you're good enough (I'm not).

This sounds fun - have to try later although I can guess what the outcome will be in my case. Won't be pretty I'm sure!

Some types are a real pain, for example the ME-262. Not only do you have to be worried about slow throttle input, the spool-up time compared to prop-driven aircraft is of course slower. You have to come in low with a very high landing speed. I've tried a few times, but with a type you don't know well (beyond stick control) you tend to be reactive instead of predictive.

One type is notable because of the low weight: Bf109Z. Spinning up or down the engine creates much torque that helps or counteracts your desired thrust vector. That makes for a real dynamic flying experience

And ehm... anyone who can land the SM.79 this way is a genius. Due to the automatic flaps.

Challenge accepted I won't be able to try until quite a bit later though.
