What the hell has happened to the Bf-110's lengendary rate of climb??

I've never heard that the 110 had a legendary rate of climb. I would've thought it would be better off diving as an escape tactic (given that its quite a heavy bird).
Would be fun to employ the real life tactic (employed in Battle of Britain) of circling round and round covering each others tail (if you had enough 110's in a multiplayer game).
I think the biggest disgrace with the 110 in this game is the lack of weapon load-outs (as compared to... hmmm maybe the Il2).
Those cannons don't seem quite as punchy as they should be either.

to answer zg26 -

NATURALLY!!!

Its a russian gam by russian developers, of course they will big up their own crap planes and make the rest look poor. Its what they do best

Russians have always been sneaky and tried cutting corners

its better than i thought it would be

In all seriousness though most of the russian planes do seem good in comparisson to the others. You can't deny it lol

Most planes being the La's? In another thread someone quoted a book where the writer seemed to agree with the La's being superb.
The sad truth is though that quite some models seem to be off, in a negative sense. I don't think they overpowered the Russian planes, although they certainly didn't nerf them.

no not the LA series at all. I dont worry about them to much as only 1 or 2 players may take it into a fight. The 3 that bug me the most are the obvious one -

P51 (obvious reasons)
190 (obvious reasons)
ju87 - Far to much armour!! these cans should be fairly easy to shoot down and only take a few rounds, but in here they are so hard to take down they can stay airbourne for an endless amount of time and just keep getting shot at.

No denying the LA is a good plane to fly though, i was hugely impressed with it when i took it up for trials
