I agree with FW190D9-44 this is the best piston fighters in game (is overmodeled). P-51 is good plane. But pilot must have speed. Not turn and burn. Bf 109F is slow. No oponent for P-51I personally think people have become a bit paranoid about their personal pet plane not performing as they think it should. You mention the P-51 being worse than the Axis counterparts: I actually think the only axis planes that perform as you would expect are the Fw 190 D and the Bf 109 from F variant up.
Mistake is between joystick and chair. Bf 109E is better then HuriI regularly find myself outclimbed, outdived and simply outsped by Hurricanes when I fly the Bf 109 E.
This planes is very heavy, its ok with lose energy. And SSSR planes? Il2 is game from SSSR....FW190A is OK. This planes is for skilled pilots.Even worse is the Fw 190 A (all variants): It is so inefficient that you can basically just fly home after the first attack(s) or you will lose so much energy that Yaks and Las will just have their way with you. Same goes for the Me 262.
Energy attack is very efective. But energy fighter must flying in squad. No alone. Look at online war servers. Many pilots of heavy FW190 prioritize this "bad" planes against Bf109F. Like as pilot P51 against Spit IX.I think the problem is due to energy attacks not working as they should (or being way too hard). The best fighters in the game are the dog-fighters: Spit, 109 F, Ki-84... they are a lot easier to use.
Wow, nice how you evaluated my piloting skills. You must be a real (virtual) ace i guess.
My english is not good. I apologize if i stumble you. And Hurricane is definitely worst then Bf 109E 4/7. Is slower, not good climb, fast lose energy. Only turn at low speed is better.Wow, nice how you evaluated my piloting skills. You must be a real (virtual) ace i guess.
Pilots win dogfights. Not airplanes. If a pilot is not particularly good, regardless of a plane, he'll always have a sinking feeling that something somewhere is wrong... and not everyone is willing to admit that the fault lies within. - Oleg Maddox

No offense taken I was just fooling around. I only play singleplayer and I definetly had Hurricanes outrun me, without any previous turnfights involved. Just straight level chase and all of a sudden the Hurri slowly gained distance from me.
We could go on speculating why the western allied and axis aircraft in the IL-2 series don't appear to be operating at their fullest. But unless you can get inside Oleg's head, it'll be just that, pure speculation.
...The only trouble is that there are discrepancies between the Soviet data of what German planes could do in the tests and what the German data says. So, it could simply be a case of Oleg, being Russian, using Russian data...
Hi,
has anyone ever tried to copare at least the top speeds of the airplanes with original datasheets?
Are there any such lists around?
then i have a question on the possible comparisons, doesnt it depend on the gameplay settings aswell? i mean if you play it arcade-wise, isnt this going to affect the game less then when you play it 100% realistic.
for example: you play it on realism and i play it on arcade, isnt it possible that i go faster then you in the same plane? because i wouldnt get affected by winds or ... ?
