I start to:)

A hurri caught me since i received hits and engine didnt have full power anymore.
I only flew up there since i didnt find anyonee further south.
Catching this disengaging hurri was pure luck. And sorry. 3 of them trying to pound me screamed for taking this one - even with landinggear down (he flew in almost 1k height with his gear down).
But i had fun yesterday on the server and am eager to fly there today. Somehow the reduced amount of Spits II seems to help a bit.

My god man..how did you understand all that.. :)

Understand? Maybe he just remembers what happened yesterday. :grin:

One of the key issues is player balance and no one referenced that comment in my last post. The guys running and setting up the servers have noted a problem with and without the Spit Mk2 and are trying hard to find a solution.

I went on later with only Mk1/Hurri available and Blues outnumbered Reds 5 to 1.

Its a tough call for the server admins.

Secondly, I am a Spit pilot and, like you Jamz, like to prowl at 18K+ in my preferred choice of AC. It takes a hell of a lot longer to get a Spit Mk1 to that altitude compared to a Mk2 and it performs better than a Hurri- so yes, for that reason I (and others) would prefer a Spit Mk2. If I happen to run into a BF then at least we are pretty well matched up their. Not every one wants to engage in deck furballs.

You know, I wonder what the outcry would be if a FW was accused of overperforming at Mid/Low alt and Blues were told - 'No you can't have it! You will have to staywith a BF109 E1' even though many would fly it at high Alt where it performed more or less correctly?

It's a catch 22 situation at the moment which could be solved by players picking an ac best suited to fair play and their preferred style. But thats unlikely to happen with everyone but didn't you notice some were actually choosing Mk1s and Hurri's?

The bombers are just as easily killed by a Spit, a much nicer ride at 18K+ and evenly matched.....

Did i get it wrong? Was it meant sarcastic? Did he want to say how overpowered the 109 is or what? Sorry. English is not my motherlanguage so i dont wonder if i got it wrong. Would not be the fiurst time i got something wrong.

Hi. The number of players is a variable thing. The map planeset dont. How can you combine these two things? I think, that there are Reds, who need the performance of the Spit IIa to shoot AC but it's still unfair. Maybe they should ask this guy what he did...

If your energy levels are the same at start (there really meet, and not BnZ from a height), the 109 no chance.

I don't know what perfs you are expecting but in my Hurri I am alry cruising easily a 200mph at 20k ft with an engine staying cold and with a lean mixture for extra range.

She also accelerate up to 270 IAS level at that alt.

Perso I am not expecting much more from a 1940 design ;);)

Lol..

I was just impressed you undertood waht he wrote :-P

Cool.. maybe you can put that on the list of red planes then:

Hurri- High Alt cuz TC says it works Ok
Spit1/1a Low to Med because its a dogfighter

there now that was easy..

Blues will just put up with what we got....so bin the spit2 please

cheers

:cool:
