As for spits, what about them? I dont think its worthing talking to much about flight models till we get the tweeked ones, then the arguements really will fly

Yes, Farber, that's a point.
If you talk about 100 octane fuel thing, the E4 is also affected. Not to talk about the actual ingame topspeed of the G50, which is about 50kmh (?) to low (However, I love the open canopy, bella musica)

Well British Techdesign is not worse neither. The british RADAR design was superior. It helped not only to win the BOB, but the whole dammend war!
Ask "Q" about british gimmicks

Therefore the Hurricane is my second favorite, better firepower

I started out as a Hurricane pilot but I was brought over to the darkside by a good pilot who showed me some of the ropes. From then on its been 109 all the way. I dont even like the FW190 that much. I like the firepower and robustness of the 110 and the odd dabble in a STUKA.

Know what you mean. The 109 is an odd bird, jack of all trades, master of none and it takes a while to get used to ther. Then comes the "click" and you start your killing spree. I can understand how she was an Experten plane.


Thus voted 109

SPIT Ia version not on your list why?

[rga]

Actually I find the 109 very forgiving. CEM in 109 is a joke compared to those in Spit and Hurries. OTOH I dislike the 110. For some reasons I cannot exceed 400kph even in level flight at sea level.
OT but is that only me or does anyone else find that CloD aircrafts are much easier to fly than in 1946?

That's probably just you

[zakkandrachoff]

come on! someone choose the G50.


not me

I'm a lover, not a fighter. I like the Tiger Moth.

It's a serious toss up between the Hurri and the 109. Aiming is easier in the Hurricane because the sight isn't off set. I fly with Track IR and am still not used to that in the 109 and the LEAN to SIGHT function isn't too smooth - especially when you shoot past an enemy in a boom and zoom, and you still need to track him. The reversion back to regular view is clumsy and time consuming. Unless there's another function I'm not aware of the LEAN to SIGHT is useless for me.

Barring that I like everything else about the 109. I have gotten better at turn and burn tactics with the Hurricane. I always BnZ with the Hurri in IL2. I seemed to lose my energy faster than needed if I TnB in one, but in CoD I've forced myself to try different tactics - especially because of the carb cut out on neg Gs.

I haven't spent much time in the Spit.


109 is my pick.
