Personnal thinking : 109 is a bicycle for lazy guys !

Dont blame the blue because german engineers focused on how to enable their fighter pilots to concentrate on shooting down enemy's, not nursing your plane so it doesn't brake when you need it the least.

You all wanted realism and you got it. And btw, 109 cant run flat out indefinitely either. If you do it wrong it will brake just as fast as the Spit. Last time i broke the engine well within the 5 min because i didn't pay attention. Dont know about the rest of you but personally i run with oil/water rads fully open 99% of the time and learn how to deal with that rather than the engine braking down, witch is even worse than losing top speed.
You could all ask the servers to turn off CEM entirely but then you wouldnt be cool anymore. (imo though, this CEM everyone is raving about is all but the same as IL2, it`s just made more complicated to use by forcing one to click this god da* cockpit dials and nobs when one needs to focus in more important things. (As far as i know we still cant assign vital functions to keys, can we? Isnt working for me at least ). The only differance imo is that you could do things for longer in IL2, run wep, on overheat etc. Remeber the "never ever overheating" spit in IL2 that was NEVER fixed?

Did a test on that thing way back and ran full out till the fuel tank was bone dry and all i got was a slight reduction in top speed. Funny times.
