is it me or did it look like its way too easy to stall in "sim" mode... not to mention in a Spitfire of all planes.

the guy could barely turn the plane without it highspeed stalling all over the place.

Damage model is amazing tho

The guy simply doesn't know how to fly real plane.
Not an excellent idea do those things with your plane on a low speed.

Exactly. As Brendan O'Brian said to his pupil as he wrenched the joystick about in his Tiger Moth 'Make love to the aeroplane, don't f**k it !'

incidentally anton - whats does BMB stand for below the airspeed and altitude values ?

Number of bombs.

maybe they added a high number for the sake of gameplay and correspondence. I guess the missions are the same for Arcade, Realistic and Simulator. and if that mission is to bomb five targets it would suck if you only had two bombs

The sim vid looked like it was from one of the tutorial missions, so, maybe that's why there were 32 bombs.

This game looks incredibly legit.

Its going to suck if have 32, thats for sure ! I could maybe understand 32 bombs in arcade mode, but realistic / simulator ? thats not good..

Actually, the whole Campaign, as I've already told many times, is more casual and entertaining, than real life. If you want taste real missions (much closer to what PC version had) - try Single Missions, not Campaign. They are more challenging, but can be a bit boring - you can probably fly 10 minutes without seeing enemies, etc.

In Campaign mode (instead of Single missions, Training, and MP) - we have the same amount of bombs carrying by planes for all realism modes.

Otherwise we'd had to make all Campaign three times, which is, of course, impossible.

You can simply drop all bombs you don't need to ocean.
