Are you really defending the wrong data with a "learn to shot better"?

Yes. This is as good as it's going to get, or go to one of the Modding site.

I would question your powers of observation if it was a real bike.

But Emil is rightly asking WHY this wrong data in a game who should be a realistic simulator.

See previous post. IL2 has limitations, using real world power for weapons doesn't mean you'ld get real world results.

Of course there is inaccuracy on both the sides, but "usually" (ergo not always) these flaws are a disadvantage for the Blue and an advantage for the Red.

It's like the old story of "the 190's acceleration is wrong" -> "learn to fly". Of course people learned to fly it (mostly because they were prevented from flying the late 109s withone of the latest patches), using tactics and learing to build a good SA. But the accelleration was still wrong (im not talking about data, but comparison between planes) and his performance was/are still worser than those of an A4 with the Stuka's prop.

The Developers have made numerous changes to flight models through out the life of the sim to make it more 'realistic' (with the limitations of the game. Why didn't they change the weapon power? I don't think it was some conspiracy to taqrget the Blue side. I think that they were trying to make a reasonable model of the the type of damage that could be expected in real life (within the limitations of the game engine) Of course it's not perfect. No one can make it perfect.

maybe they tried the real data and it just didn't 'Work'

I still have fun because I play in a virtual community.

I will still be flying this SoW. Even with all the problems it will probably be the best WWII sim out there for some time.
