I think it's perfectly reasonable to point out that a belt of 100% 8mm tungsten would most likely be historically inaccurate. That's fine I can understand that. Same with 100% 20mm AP or 100% 20mm HE. Generally speaking these ammo types were usually used in combination with others. However, even if they are used exclusively, and in a way that is not strictly historically accurate, you still have to hit the enemy to be effective. Moreover, with something like tungsten, you only really have an advantage if you can consistently hit the cockpit from the six or near six position. Honestly Buzz, unless you are suggesting these guys are using something other than skill (is that what you're suggesting?) to achieve those sorts of hits, I just think your blowing this thing completely out of proportion.

Salute

Read the thread and you will see me on record as stating I don't think any of the pilot's mentioned were hacking. I didn't start this thread or make any of those allegations.

My issue is the modelling of this Sim.

The fact is, this is supposed to be a highly realistic simulation. (Unless I didn't read the box cover and promotion material correctly)

Not an Arcade game where the side with the most ways to exploit the botches in design. comes out on top.

All those who are complaining about the Spitfire's damage model... Why didn't you do something about it instead of muttering to yourself?

Why didn't you do some testing, provide proof to the Developers before the last patch??

I had suspected a long time that the Hurricane was modelled incorrectly, I did my research and provided proof it was overweight, and it got changed.

Just because those on the Blue side are too lazy to provide the proof required, (if it even exists) for a change in the Spitfire damage model is not my problem, it's theirs, despite their attempts here to try to associate my correctly provided information on the SmK (H) with a possible flaw in the Spitfire.

It's quite clear that those who are shouting the loudest were also those who were the quietest and most self satisfied when the Red aircraft were completely mismodelled and the 109's were sailing freely.

Now that things are more realistically modelled, (far from perfect, the engine cutout bug makes the Spits and Hurricanes far from historical at higher alts) the Blue side is complaining... perhaps no surprise.

That's not my problem and personally I don't care if some misinformed and one sided players want to attack me... just an indicator of their personal lack of character.

If I discover facts which bear my point out, I will continue to point out what I perceive as errors in this Sim, whatever others may say.
