It has more than one rudder and the tail, it seems to me, gets damaged soooooo easily. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the P-38 was one tough mother!

2)A more realistic or different sound for the bending airframe. At present it sounds like loosing an aileron. IT's confusing.

3)You could kill the external padlock exploit used by many pilots to "Lock ON" to any enemy plane beyond visual range. That or kill the enemy plane external view for online play, or make enemy external views an option to be turned off. This drives me crazy. Any one can find you any where. That ain't right.

4)The ability to earn half credit on a kill. This would make life better for all pilots using 50 cals. At current you can smoke an engine, blow off ailerons, elevators, rudders, put holes in a wing, injure a pilot, and set the enemy on fire, but it all means nothing if some looser with a 30mm canon saws off the wing of all your hard work.

5)DELETE THE 185. What a stupid, magical piece of... er.. know what I mean? Or at least make the engine the completely unreliable P.O.S. it historically was.

6)Left and right break pedals? It would make taxi far more realistic.

Ty for 4.10.1 I love what you've done so far. Especially with the menu's and the new programmable joystick axis. Also the g-limit for all AC is greatly appreciated. All great fixes.

Not meaning to sound rude but have you tried flying on full realism servers or servers with higher realism settings? Half your gripes would be voided by that as

- there typically are no external views on these servers
- there wont be anybody equipped with a 30mm on your side when flying most aircraft armed with .50cal MGs only
- there wont be any I-185 aloft

Especially the latter seems to be an "arcade server" problem. Only a handful of the I-185 fighters were produced and the M-71 engine utilized on the projected production model was found to be extremely unreliable up to the point that not only the fighter itself but also further development on the engine was seized altogether.

Other typical "arcade" fantasy planes include the MiG-3U and I-153P which you could also count in real life on two hands
