I think I have to put it in bold:

maybe and bold and bigger:

Rarely has one sentence meant so much as this sentence!

Rarely have I seen so much whinning (actually I am lying, I have seen a lot of whinning here and in the Ubi-zoo and the "octane fuel" saga is is no more spectacular than the "FW190 gunsight view limitation", nor the "ammo belt loads", nor etc. etc. etc...ROFL)!

It becomes obvious that the Spit and Hurri pilots are getting so much annoyed having their sensitive parts kicked by the Bf109 that are looking for every possibility to say "Luthier, my plane was historicaly faster than it is in the game" maybe it was the octane fuel, maybe it was the landing gear wheels inflated with nitrogen instead of air...

Gents just get used to it:
#1. The flight model is not there where it should be.

#2. The Bf109s owned the air at that period (historicaly correct, if you do not believe me (and you shouldn't) watch the documentaries posted in the forum and the comments of the RAF pilots!). Yes! You won the battle of Britan! Because the Bf109s had to fly besides the bombers. In CoD they do not have to, and you feel the impact.

#3. Get used to appreciate the guy's work (Blacksix) and enjoy the moment that we get timely accurate updates and stop overtaking this thread with more questions to him than he can give answers!


~S~

PS. I am waiting for the day the Spitfire will run with 120octane fuel (or anything that makes it faster than my Bf109). Then, I will bring up the technical papers up to prove that the size of the turbine in my Bf109-E4 was larger than the one modelled by the 1C team therefore the 1,2ata (turbine pressure) gives a much lower performance than the one my engine in real life would bring... And since I am sure they never modelled the size of the turbine exactly (why should they) I am sure to be on the winning side
Crazy world...

Disclaimer: I accept that my post may be deleted, re-phrased, moved out of this thread as per the will of the admins. I just felt I had to vent off some frustration because of this mess

I have been a loyal fan for 7 years and now this! And still no 100 octane Spitfire and Hurricane which the RAF planned for a long time and specially used for the Battle of Britain. I keep trying so hard not to be dissapointed but this is wearing me down.
BlackSix, I very politely ask you if there is any chance that you could explain to us why we do not have 100 octane fuel Spitfire and Hurrican? Just an honest answer please and then wether we like the answer or not, at least it may clear the air and help us move on. Thank you in anticipation.

Trying very hard to keep the faith,

I am a flight sim enthusiast and loyal fan too but this kind of thing gives me hope for the future. We are a small niche and need new blood and there will be plenty of opportunity for folk to cross over to our side with a battlefield simulator.

Besides that, don't you think it would be great to be attacking an airfield manned by real gunners? I think so. And when you've been shot down on a mission and want to kill some time it will be great to man a gun and listen to all the nice sounds going on.

+100.000.000.000.000.000

I hope 100 octane arrive in the next patch I can't wait...

Great update. The Russian map looks like it's coming along nicely.

I wouldn't expect the new graphics engine to look much different than what we currently have. It's more of an "under the hood" update that should increase fps.

Thanks BlackSix & Team, these ack ack guns are just what we need to push the dogfights over the channel
