I just scanned this thread, as it is just like 100 other threads about FMs/aircraft performance vs. historical numbers.
Gents, we are all chasing our tails here, and no I don't mean a defensive circle...
None of the aircraft are correct, NOT ONE OF THEM.
Why beat each other up over this? We are stuck with an alpha build game currently.
It's why I don't fly much anymore, and believe me I do miss it. But it's just not worth doing at this point. When I do fly I just patrol inland and try to find unescorted bombers, if I see fighters I will generally try to run away as any fighter on fighter combat is utterly broken in the sim as it is. And it's not just aircraft performance at issue, visibility, sound, atmospherics, etc... all add up to a less than enjoyable time online.
I hope it does not take a further year to sort this mess out. I want to fly again, and enjoy it.
