Suddenly Spit IIa on all the servers?

In a Hurri I hve no prob to dash deck at 290mph. 500kph in a 109.

Of course the 109 at alt>5km is sluggish and seems underpowered (but again mind that you need to spin out the Compressor to get some "ata"). But as this has been alrdy discussed before I won't add any further comments here on that subject.

Yeah the spit is over modeled but not in the sense that her perfs are superior but more that she has no FM at all. It's a spacecraft out of nowhere with no E losses drag etc.. etc...

But thx to the intense lobbying of some alrdy named any spit matter has become a mess to discuss. What an irony for a plane that symbolize the freedom of speech !

The greatest ill-advised choice that CoD is facing now wld be to level up the perf of the excellent Hurri an 109 models to compete with that of the thing - ie the in-game Spit. Then we will slip out of any RL ground. A gap that will widen more and more as they add later war plane (see what has happened with Il2 and the Supersonic Late war "planes" (47, 190D, 25lb, mkIII ...)

You hve just read this and want to help out ? BAN the THING ! Leave her in the hangar until it has been re-worked appropriately.

500kph in level flight with the 109???well how do you achieve that??without boost, the 109 im flying, only reaches 450 in level flight...with boost 470-480kph.

spin out the comressor to get some ata???you cant control the compressor in the 109 or am i wrong?

slight dive until 500+kph then level and there you go !

Spin out the comp wheel by over-revving slightly the rpm (this need to fine the prop pitch a little bit more than what you want to let the rpm raise and then get some better boost before reaching an equilibrium)

@Trumps : To shake out a Hurri : pull G : it can't follow or it will depart.

Use your far sup roll-rate at certain speed. The roll rate of the Hurri is poor at most of the speed range.

Pls don't overload your ammo belt with the maritime mine that we've got with that Patch - I guess they borrowed the WM from Silent Hunter

sorry tomcat, but could you please explain that in other words...i just dont understand what you are saying.

Hmm, me niether..

I can understand the logic behind that and how i would/can do that in a supercharged/turbo'd car but is that even possible in game?

Tomcat, I don't have a problem against either the Hurri or the 1 and 1a spits, I just don't turnfight fullstop, I also don't use the mineshells as I fly the E-1. I tried the e-4 out when I initially downloaded the patch but quickly returned to my old faithful, I still think the E-1 is the best 109 of the ones in game, it suits my style anyway! The only plane I can't combat is the IIa unless I catch him totally unaware.

Ze-Jamz, and David, you can still comapare it to driving a car, think like this, you are cruising in your car at 100kph in 5th gear at 2000rpm, you want to overtake someone you can just stamp on the gas and wait for the engine to get higher in the rev range where it makes most power, or you can downshift to 4th, which will put the engine Into it's powerband so to speak and accelerate quicker, eventually you will still have to change back into 5th but you will be going faster at this stage and the engine will already be near it's peak. Most engine types develop their peak at around 2/3- 3/4 of their max revs.

Let's say that you are cruising at alt >5km and want to add some power.

Since your are cruising your eng regime is low with low rpm <2000 and ata <1 (probably 0, .

When you push the throttle, you'll see that your eng won't react as much as you want with the boost raising only a little as the eng torque is not strong enough to balance the torque of the prop with the amount of air it can ingest at the moment.

In that situation lowering the prop pitch will lower the torque needed to spin the prop giving the eng more torque to raise the (eng) rpm. Once the eng rpm start raising, the compressor can spin up the compressor wheel that will deliver more air in the cylinder.

More air, more fuel, more torque, more power -> the speed increase up to a point that you have a new balance. Obviously once the "ata" & the speed raise you need to coarse back slightly the prop pitch monitoring closely those 3 values (the position of the throttle, the boost level and the rpm gauges).

Note that there is no spectacular results to expect from this but still you'll get some better result and will raise your op ceiling in the beast

dont you mean increase the proppitch???at least on the gauge its an increase of it.
when do i know that i overreved the engine enough??
i observed, that when i go from level flight into a climb, and increase the prop pitch(meaning going from 10 to eleven o clock on the gauge) there comes the point, where suddenly the ata pressure decreases slightly the more i increase the prop pitch......is that the point where i should stop increasing the pp?

is it advisable to maintain the highest possible ata pressure all the time?


meaning in combat situation, i mainly fly with full throttle and only adjust the pp.through change of the prop pitch, the pressure changes as well, ....
so if i maintain 1,325ata with full throttle...would that be the way to go????

Seems there is some weirds thing there (I am back on topic :spit)

I did some lazy cubans eight among some spits deck (clnt' see them) at a 450/480 kph average and as soon as one see me and took my 6 (cldn't see him before he was there) I was unable to pass 415.

I guess there is the suc*** cheat back on server (the one that pull you backward once your in the visor of those aces).

Dav I will answer later I just feel disgusted for now.

If you fly a Spitfire IIa then you dont need a cheat. This plane IS a cheat.
Again. All serverhosters please ban this developers joke from the servers until either the other planes their performance raised or this ones is lowered.
