We all took a concious decision, to have 1C concentrate their ressources to make a better graphics model.
It is therefore beyond doubt that we will have to wait for the graphics model to get finalised and afterwards, the long, hard discussion about the flight models will start.
I have always avoided discussions because speed is only one parameter; There is a lot more which plays a role in a dogfight.
What I would really like to see is that somebody downloads the CoD plane parameters and creates an IL2Compare like we had for IL2!
If we have that, we will have the required transparency to start discussions.
As I had commented in the improvements thread months ago, watching the "wing load" responsiveness of the airplanes (can be seen by the planes flying reasonably well with half-wing sawn off) makes me believe that, as far as the FM of COD is concerned, "speed" is one small piece of the puzzle.
