Also 109 E need FM revision - atually there were too slow.

All planes need changes in service celling which now in CLOD is really off.

In sum most planes from CLOD need FM and performacne revsion.

Here in these topic there are RL data and comparision with CLOD:

http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=20110


So:

Keep Spitfire I with 87 Octane and two pitch prop - AGREE

Update Spitfire Ia to 100 Octane fuel and keep Rotol prop (most used type in BoB) - YEP 100 OCTAN for Spit IA but with DeHaviland Constant Speed Propeller Unit

Spitfire II with 87 Octane and Rotol prop (could have 100 octane later, not so many used in BoB) - DONT AGREE - NEED 100 OCTAN FUEL SPIT II which used +12 lbs Emergency Power - everthying is in SPit MK II manual

Also there could be 2 types of Hurricane:

- MK1 early with 2 stage DH prop pitch - 87 Octan fuel
- MKI late with Rotol prop - 100 Octan fuel


ALso 109 E need performance revision beacuse with 1.42/1.45 Ata there are too slow - 109 E should reach about 490-500 km/h at deck - now is only 460 km/h.

All these planes have too low maxiumum service celling


So for accurate and historical both online and offline gameplay we need deeply FM&Performacne revision.

I know what im talking about beacuse im in the topic for long time and made some FM revsion for IL2 mods planes expecially BOB fighters like Spitfire, 109 and Hurricane and 110 C-4.

So i think if in incoming patch there will be not solid and professional FM revision for these planes many people will be really dissapointment expecially when Luthier promise that there will be FM and performacne revsion in coming patch some time ago.
Hi Kwiatek,

I can't disagree with any of that in principle but I was really making the suggestion for immediate work (next patch or one soon after) with other 100 octane options to follow in time. That would at least give us something to fly BoB with on a reasonable footing with the 109s and assumes that the FMs for the existing Spits/Hurris/109s are already being corrected anyway in the upcoming patch. It was meant as a practical short term solution. Lets face it, thet don't have time for much more at the moment whether we like it or not.

If the 100 octane problem is too big to be solved quickly for all aircraft I think we coud live without the SpitII 100 octane as a trade off. I believe the main variant flying in the BoB was the Spitfire MkIa, MerlinIII, 100 octane, CSP - but I'll take the flames if I'm wrong

Anyway BalckSix is putting this to Ilya so hopefully he will consider the various options.
