I have a lot of respect for the 109 and the players who pilot them. I guarantee if there's a weapon in your aircraft's arsenal, and you know how to use it, you use it. They have nothing to be ashamed or repentant of in using the aircraft they've been given to the full extent of their ability to use it. That said, I also have a lot of respect for the Spitfire and Hurricane pilots. Night after night they go back up in the air and attempt to make the best of their aircraft in the face of, let's face it, not the best of odds. That's kind of in the spirit of the Battle of Britain, I'd say. The people who are flying these aircraft are more than likely people who love these aircraft, who have a deep affection and reverence for the people who fought the real Battle, and who desperately want to be able to touch a small part of that experience. I think it's in everyone's best interests to have a FM that 'feels' right first and gets as close as possible to the real numbers second. That's not a formula of exclusivity. It's a weighting. When you can read an account of a real pilot, try the same manoeuver, and get roughly the result you expect to get, that's 'feel'. We don't have that yet, but I'd like to get there. Lastly, I don't doubt that getting all these figures right in a complex simulation is not an easy job. You mess with one thing and something you never thought was connected gets thrown off. Hurricane start-up anyone? I hope that the people who have to work on the FM are getting the support and time they need.

![]() ![]() The point I was trying to make was that every reasonable Axis pilot should be able to see and understand the frustration of the RAF pilots at current state of the FMs (which have nothing to do with Battle of Britain and so called real-life specs and for one reason or another are in huge favour of the Axis at the moment).

I'd be careful with calling the ppl with open canopies 'cheaters', not all of them enjoy the sonar capabilities... Same goes for the 109 - some folks jettison the canopy as they take off, very interesting. ![]()

![]() There is no animosity towards 109 pilots in this thread, there are just these porked RAF fms (and the OP is addressing the devs, not the general 109 flying public). To be honest, it's pretty obvious that you're strictly LW pilot, am I right? ![]() ![]()

![]() But on the other hand, when I fly the 109 and get a kill, I never know if I am really better than the other guy or if it's only mine and his ride. ![]()

S!
Mostly a blue pilot but have now flown a few time with Spits and Hurris on ATAG. Shot down a few 109s (and got shot in return of course ![]()

I think the 109 guys who jettison their canopies are cheating too. I guess it's a leftover attitude from IL2FB. Guys used to tweak their config files so they could hear aircraft behind them. It was BS. |
