Multiplayer plane choice

I have to say that I did get kinda boring when every time I pulled back on the stick the plane stalled, entered a flat spin and plummeted to the ground like a sack of ******* bricks.

Try flying the La's or 109's first, with the elevator sensitivity down a bit, after a while you'll get the hang of it. I'll admit I haven't played arcade, but from what I've heard there's not a big difference between the airplanes there.

I am missing something? To be honest the arcade was ok but seemed a lot like Blazing Angels now obviously its WAY better but the fact that is was a non stop furball with unlimted f/a, crazy speed and no stalling it was not what I'm excited about this game for. Is there a particular time or game type I should be looking for?

Last night was pretty quiet. I was online for a while (I actually saw you sign in just as I was signing off), yet matches were few and far between. I played quite a bit on Saturday, though; and weeknights are generally good times to find matches.

Lastly, I couldn't agree more about the flight models for the P-51 and FW-190 series planes. How these were messed up is beyond me. Every pilot that has flown a P-51 speaks of the absolute joy one finds when piloting these planes (similar to a Spit pilots talking about their aircraft), yet the plane is flat awful in the game. I just don't get it... and I'm saddened because I wanted to fly these two planes the most.

Yet after Soviet Ace told me to check out the Yak 3, I've found myself flying it a lot more than the La 7... Even though I will never agree with him that it flies as well as the La 7. It's slower and doesn't turn as well.

Well considering that the La-7 has a larger engine and all around a bit larger plane than the Yak-3, I could see where your flaw in that statement is.
