Those who've flown the, Dora-9, will most of this apply to that bird as well? I wanna love it but am having a lotta trouble. Thanks in advance.

Are you talking about RADIAL engines, or rotary? The Fdub uses a radial, fixed position motor, not a rotary engine. Rotary engines spin with the propeller, hence the reason they had bad engine torque characteristics.

Excellent post with the video of the FW doing Rolling scissors. I great tactic but remember it's last ditch and a good Spit driver won't overshoot as often.

In the video he started the fight on pretty much equal terms. Not good for going against Spits in a FW. The key to fighting two or at least one spit and it's been mentioned before is coming in with a signifigant altitude advantage and bouncing them. You can force them to go defensive from the get go. In the video they went offensive and quickly turned it into a defensive fight for that pilot. The FW driver was lucky and got off a quick snap shot on one of them but that was about it.

The roll in the FW is far better than a Spit and High Speed. You will have to use rolling and your speed to get away. I have yet to try it out in this game but that's how it works in IL2 1946.

That would be sweet. I wouldn't mind buying it if its available anywhere. Thanks for the heads up.
