Hs 129 barely flyable

The first thing the Gamer thinks of is to MOD the aircraft so it flies to his tastes, maybe a Japanese Zero would be a nice flight model for all the planes?

A real simmer though uses his brain, practices and thinks of a way to use what he is given to get the job done, just like the pilots had to in WWII.

In flying the HS-129 online I came to very similar tactics to those WOZ discovered and found it to be a fabulous tool for destroying armor.

Then again a real pilot given the choice between a Hs129 and an Il2 might chose the Il - most of the important and vulnerable components encased in armor instead of just the pilot. And at least ingame the IL is a bit easier to fly IMHO -looking at the wingloading of both planes that's what I'd expect IRL too. Not saying the Hs can't be put to use (lots of ammo for a good armament and good inflight stabily), but just that it is no stellar performer -probably close to real world?
