I got the Ta after I won my first online match. And I didn't buy the DLC.

They shouldn't rip off, they're designed to take the stress of landing LoL. But in a real plane you might damage other things like gear doors and retract mechanicals etc, which is why planes that have exposed wheel machinery usually have a much higher gear extension speed then those with slick "covered up" wells.

Rats. Thanks for the info, but I thought this was something they were gonna fix. Oh well.

Right the gear will eventually break if you fly too fast with gear down, you might be able to land on it, but probably not raise it. Doesn't seem to do that in BOP though

It's interesting that they've used pressure sensitivity to set a guns/cannons choice, but I don't notice it in aviator layout, which makes it useless for me

If they'd only done one thing in the patch, it should be the score fix, unfortunately they didn't get it right. Fixed would be -5 points for a death. Any pilot who will ditch 5 planes to get one kill would be court-martialed and shipped off to infantry to serve in a punishment battalion somewhere.
It's the biggest reason why online combat is so fake, just like most first-person shooters.

Sure, if deaths were -5 points, everyone would end up with 0 points. Well then everybody loses and they deserve it. People would wise up and try to stay alive instead of flying around in circles in a line.

And it might help the almost constant tree-top level dogfighting, although the ridiculous radar on the map plays a bigger part in that.

I hope if they get to release a sequel they really learn from the mistakes and don't drop sim mode altogether.

they wont drop sim as
1. the patch us ps3 guys got fixed problems mostly with sim
2. the game is orientated around sim and arcade and reaalistic were to broaden its appeal

Yeah the damn radar too. It isn't anywhere near as easy to spot an opponent at altitude when there isn't a big fat dot telling you what direction to look. So everyone hides next to the ground instead. One of my favorite tricks in free-for-all, when someone is shooting at me, is a simple high barrel roll, half the time they have no clue where I disappeared to and they either overshoot or they fly around in circles trying to spot me in their near-blackout. In that mode, nobody looks right above them.

About ready to start up a ladder, right after lost cause's deathmatch thing. The rules may include a no-map option, as well as no-cockpit options, as match rules two teams can agree to.

It's been over a year, any news on us 360 dudes getting such a juicy update?

Better don't hold your breath - the publisher 505 has no interest to support this game any longer. However the good news is that there will be a sequel for the game quite soon, also WWII, same developers but different publisher. Should be announced soon.
