Inaccurate performance data for BOB fighters in COD comparing to RL data

[bw_wolverine]

This argument continues to be ridiculous.
There should be no debate that 100 octane was used in the battle. You'd be far better off telling all the red pilots to stop using DeWilde in 4 of 8 guns, because THAT'S a valid argument.

The REAL issue here isn't even anything to do with COMBAT in the game. I just want a Spitfire that flies like a Spitfire. End of story. I want to roar by Dover Castle doing a level 280+ MPH. I want to be able to flip the boost cut out and really feel it.

Any of those things going to win me more dog fights? Maybe in one or two, but the majority of the combats I get in? No. The majority of the combats I get in that I win are the result of superior positioning. That's not going to change.

So I put it thusly:
If the Spitfires are not modelled correctly, and everyone seems to AGREE on this, then fix it. I don't even understand where we got onto this 87 vs 100 argument ANYway. Where in the game does it say that 87 is being used? In the performance of the aircraft? That could be because of ANY number of reasons, including that the devs just plain screwed it up.

If ANY planes aren't being modelled correctly, fix them.

The biggest cause of all these arguments? Missions are not being made to reflect actual operations. The planes are performing roles they didn't perform during this simulated era, so its NO WONDER that we're getting people complaining that things aren't working out "right".

No more objectives for RED that involves bombing targets in the interior of France. The Battle of Britain was a fight for SURVIVAL. DEFENCE. PROTECTION OF GREAT BRITAIN. Fat lot of good I'll do shooting down the Luftwaffe masses if I'm just north of Paris. And 100octane fuel won't even get me back in time. If Bleheim pilots want targets to bomb, give them some! Just don't make those targets critical to Red winning the map.
