welcome to the forum Dementia-Seven,

everything DK said is true. several of the aircraft do not perform nearly as well in the game as they did in real life. the P 51 and the Fw190 arent going to be your picks if you want lots of kills. and the soviet aircraft seem to have the edge over all the allies aircraft. as for the 109...if you play online you will see how deadly it is in the hands of a decent player.

in single player all the missions are aimed at defeating the foe who happens to be german. sad fact but it is true. so in that light to win you must defeat 109s, 190s, 262s, etc. online is much different....the "german" team can win.

i invite you to join some of the online games here and get to know the players. you can find what ever game metts your taste...arcade, realistic, and sim games online just about any time. i believe you will find it more challenging and fun...

Default wir leiebn dich und singen laut - friede freude sauerkraut

it seems to me and it is not only my opinion that the developers made the overrating of the ally planes because of the game would byed more in the english speching countrys or russia but that cant be it!

and to bobbysocks: yes... a la5 or 7 is a killier even in the hand of noobs and it is not compareable with the other planes. and if i wont take that plane i would lose the battle mostly in two on two.

even i do not understand why the mustangs are so bad. the are not controlable when u turn slowly into a loop. but it is one of the nicest looking planes in this game. how could the developers allow themselves such a rape?

ok with a g6 u could throw 30mm bullets but the plane is so heavy through that. you could take a g3 or 109 f series plane and they both got better steering than a g6. and i made a landing with the g6 and shootet out while i was standing at 0. the weaponary is so heavy that the plane will go backwards on the ground! during flying you could feel and see the amount of speed losing through firing that 30mm cannons. and losing speed means the benefit of guns is nothing. a fast plane with only 20mm cannons can do the same demage.

please reply my last question!!!

i unlooked fw190f-8 which carrys bombs. would that plane be declared as a bomber if i equip the bombs??? or did i have to use planes which where only for bombing good like ag20 or arado???

thanks for reading

You can't use the FW 190 as a bomber. Any fighter equipped with bombs is still a fighter in the game, both single and mult player. When you go into a multiplayer game check the map, bombers appear as triangles and fighters as dots.

Bobby put it right, chill out and join the online community. We have well matched axis v allies battles most Saturdays and we don't discriminate if you are german, Italian whatever. You will often see 109 v spit matches with some great g6 pilots. The single player game lasted me 3 days, the online has lasted me nearly a year and counting

The La-7 / La-5 are killers due to their canons, they are not the easiest to get kills with unless you are a good shot. Plus, they can be torn up pretty easily by most all other planes. A 109 can make very short work of taking down one.

My only thought as to why the 51 mustangs and 47's are not the greatest and some other planes are better than they should be is probably to keep everything pretty much even (or as much so as possible) so you don't have one particular plane that's the best in all cases. That wouldn't be too much fun online if there was one plane that kicked everybody's butt (everybody would be flying that plane).
