Suddenly Spit IIa on all the servers?

[camber]

All I know is that online was working great for the first time. I had the new experience in an E4 of being bounced from below by SpitIIs. Even with totally conservative E retention tactics (staying defensive, going for position above but not attacking) it felt like the hopeless situation of being in a P11 being attacked by a 25lber in old Il2. Within a few turns there was the Spit II casually spiralling up into firing position.

I appreciate the drive to get models as true as possible, but it was the relative imbalance that made me regretfully hit disconnect..it's just not fun after a couple times. I would be happy if devs start with accurate models and then tweak to get balance.

As far as i know this is a 'sim' not a 'game'.
they are a bit different.
A 'sim' is something that 'simulates' what really was.
It was not so balanced at the time (anyway i find BF109s are a bit underpowered in terms of engine power but may be just my feel).

S!

The problem is not the Spit IIa, it's the only plane in the sim that actually hits it's real world numbers.

Every other plane is underperforming, every single one, no matter the side.

This is not a Red vs. Blue issue, and I hope it won't turn into one. It's a simple matter of the current state of the sim. The FMs are due for a going over, and Luthier has said this is in the plan.

So let's wait till we get more accurate FMs before we get our pants in a twist over in game performance.

And in truth the aircraft that needs the most help is the G 50. It's so far off it isn't even funny. I am waiting to fly her, as I really like the Italian aircraft.

Thanks, just trying to have a reasonable outlook on things at this point.
