Compressibility modelling

[Kurfürst]

We do not even know if compressibility is modelled or not. We do not have real world test figures for correct high speed dive behaviour, and a random poster's colored graphs based on cluster of guesswork figures and labeled '109' or 'Spitifre' hardly make a comparison basis.

It makes an interesting theoretical discussion but the whole thread is absolutely useless for checking the FM's validity. Unless someone would suggest the developer's should rely on hobbysts guesstimations of performance.

Aircrafts don't employ angle tactics: the pilots do. Nothing prohibits pilots to BnZ in an Hurricane... except their own noobness

It's just too difficult to track planes under your ship and too easy to spot aircrafts over you head... and this is really helpful for guys who don't care about tactics...
But NO... lets put in disadvantage the ones who actually do fly in the smart way!!!



Anyway I agree about compressibility modelling, but it's not a priority at all.

Agree with all this however I suspect this will be a hundred page thread or near enough...
