Multiplay/single play with the MC. 202

[mattd27]

I played one round in the Mc 202 because I had heard Soviet Ace talking about how good it was (This was before the game was released, so he probably couldn't know about it's in game performance). When I tried it out, I stalled endlessly and got eaten alive by Spits and 109's.

I will say it's one of the better looking planes in the game though, very sharp.

Exactly, the constant stalls and spins shouldn't happen. It was a good balanced plane, but the in the game, it is just a terrible plane to fly. And yes, it is a sharp looking plane

Maybe we can ask something about it's flight model on the devs forum? They admitted they made mistakes with the P51 and B17, so maybe they slipped up here too, and can get it fixed in a patch? Though I doubt it could be in the title update, too late for that.

I don't know. Ive done quite well using it in multiplayer games and thats against all spitfires. Its problem is it doesn't like being pushed past its limits in a turn and you get no warning whatsoever of the stall untill its happened.Its an instant stall. But I find the actual stall is quite easy to control and you can use it to your advantage to shake off anyone on your 6. I think I prefer it over the yak1, just. Still you WILL die quite often flying the Machi.

Hey a thought, Maybe that imposter of a 4 blade prop is causing turbulence and affecting the handling lol. Dev's, stick a 3 blade on there with the patch and it might become a dream to fly lol.


Edit: Ok I've been flying the 202 quite a bit tonight. I'm getting better but it is very tricky, if you get into a spin you have to be very quick with the rudder and then very quick off it or you will reverse the spin, if that happens then you are usually dead with the low level that multiplayer is at. Ive found with carefull rudder use it can turn pretty well and its got decent speed. I'm gonna perservier with it though because i'm pretty sure if one can master it the MC202 is a good alternative to the me109's in early date axis V allies games.
