So basically you don't have a chance against a 109 unless you have your 3 friends with you. So if my 3 friends aren't on, I'm not going to log on either, leading to others not logging on leading to a bunch of empty servers, except for the packed blue team of coarse.


I love how the realites come out of the wood work when the nerf that has just occurred benefits them. But cry foul when anything is touched on their beloved aircraft.


Realism simply will not work in an online environment. At least not the realism that 1c is apparently going for. If a single player can't log on and have half a chance of surviving 5 mins let alone getting a kill. Well guess what.... They leave and they don't come back. Like it or not that is online gaming no matter what your targeted audience. if you aren't going to somehow enforce the tactical directive of the LW, how on earth can you think that FM realism will produce anything but discontent? In this case the circumstances are as equal to if not more important than the FM.

Either you have a simulator or a balanced online game. WWII was not balanced by any means. So the only solution to have great online sorties is to modify the FM of all fighters to match or to be balanced around a chosen standard . Yea it sounds like an option for online gaming.
Or wait for some of the next sequel installments from around 1944 to get things somewhat balanced naturally.
Mk IX, 109G6, 190A8, P51, La7 .. name some others

1944 seems a long way off for 1C. I mean it looks like we are going to bounce around in 1939 - 1940 in each theatre before we move on. That seems like the only viable fix for this issue of hugely overpowered sides.

Wow man very mature comment there. Actually I am a member of a virtual squadron that attempts to have fun in this game. We have about 4 active flyers that come on at varied times during the week. They carry different hours than I do, mostly because of work. So if they aren't on, and to be successful at having any chance at taking a 109 down you need 3-4 reds, What is the point of me logging on? Please try and form an actual thought this time in your reply.

Ok then I'll see you in the skies hugging your bombers and not diving to chase me! I can't wait for our next simulated fight!


Yeah. That's my point. If you are going to "simulate" then let's go the whole 9, otherwise you have just tipped the balance of a pvp online GAME. Even further than it was already scued.
