S!

While single player lacks a LOT, online is not that much better before mission and map makers get the SDK so we could get a lot more missions etc. ATAG is one of the best server around, lots of fun if people would do something else than just vulch planes at fields. I sure understand why the blues want to vulch the Sissyfire II's but in general it is just pathetic in my books. Sure it would easy to establish a CAP over a field and just pop anyone foolish enough to spawn, then head home and boast with the "kills". Not my thing..I rather have the dance up in the sky, much better than just shooting fish in a barrel

I always have to laugh when someone calls the Spit II a "sissy" plane. Especially E4 jocks who have the best plane, with best guns, and the most ammo in the sim.

It they were "real men" and not "sissys" they would be in E1s, then we would see who the real pilots are, and not just the best artillery men.

Well, in my opinion, anyone who isn't flying the G.50 is by definition a sissy.

[ElAurens]

That's a fair cop.

In real life not in the sim I must add...

Glad I am not a sissy my main ride, when I am not bombing, is the E1.

[ElAurens]

Heh.

I don't fly Blue that often, but when I do it's usually in the G.50 or the E1.
The EI has a ton of ammo. Wow.

Now if the Cr.42 was made flyable, it would be nothing but (vintage Classico Reserva) Chianti, pasta primavera, and open cockpits for this flying Pig.

In all seriousness, all the planes have advantages and dis-advantages in varying proportion. Even the two "uber planes" of the set, the E4 and Spit IIa are really far from "uber" and both die with regularity.

The tactics used to employ them are far more important.

S!

I call it Sissyfire, done so for ages. And if you lose to a Bf109E-4, if engaging from same alt and E, in the game at it's CURRENT state then should fly something else. Sissyfire II outperforms Bf109E-4 easily and if you are even an average shooter you get a lot of critical hits on a Bf109E with those 8 x .303cal at convergence.

I fly mostly 110 these days and in that crate can not outfly nor outperform anyone except maybe bombers. Still manage to get a fair share of targets down and even return home in one piece. It calls for planning and SA when going for the attack

On ATAG it is fun and the Bomber Night even more so. Can't wait to get the GFX update and at some point the physics/FM/DM updates to CoD. Then we have a true gem

Yes, the E1 is my favorite 109, insane ammo amount and pretty effective with adjusted convergence. Can't stand the slow rate of fire on the other 109's.

Wait...people actually think the E-4 is uber?
Lol!
Depending on the source its from 30-50kph too slow!
Uber my hind end. It's sad that the FM' s are in their current state. Half the reason I spend more time in Spits v 109's now.
