Karnak, I'll gladly try the Moss with you in H2H. Take the plane you want so you can see what compares the best to it by still keeping the "big plane feel".

BTW I tried the Moss yesterday in MA, the deep stall is kind of funky.

Frenchy,

The Mossie stalls really badly now. That is what I ment by worse performance. Other than that it seems to fly exactly the same as in AH1, but whatever you do don't stall it. Makes fighting a lot harder.

I'm not sure wht you mean by "Take the plane you want so you can see what compares the best to it by still keeping the "big plane feel"." though.

Chemical and kinetic energy are identical.......... just the La7 (45) has a combined ROC of 1.5 times the other La7 and the La5FN.

Well, I hate to say it, but you can't have it both ways. You want a small plane with good endurance and good performance, you are going to fly the P-51, or maybe the 190D-9. You could probably sneak by with the La-7 depending on how you fly. God knows I still see enough of them.

There aren't any other planes that meet those two requirements, unless you throttle back to save fuel.

Urchin,

The Fw190A-5's endurance is fine. So are the Bf109G'sand Spitfire Mk IX's.

The La-7 and Typhoon guzzle fuel at a rate that sets them apart from other so called short range aircraft.

the BF110 is the better fighter MOSS over bf110 is just foolish thinking

the only thing that the MOSS has over it is faster top end speed RANGE and easy guns

the BF110 does not nearly bleed speed as fast and gets to its top end speed way faster then the MOSS and has better climb rate and can turn alot longer then the MOSS can

harder guns but more firepower in terms of those twin 30mms with 4 20mms or 2 20mms if you want a lighter BF110

give the BF110G2 some time and learn the guns and you well see what im talking about

simshell,

The Mossie out climbs the Bf110G-2 last time I tested them.

I'd take 4 Hizookas over 2 Mk 108s and 4 Mg151s anyday. More damage, easier to hit with.

Karnak.. the 190a5 has OK endurance if you can get clear of the enemy while you RTB. 1/4 forward and 1/4 aft tank are like 5-6 minutes at full throttle.

The 109g10 guzzles gas at a positively insane rate, the E4 didn't seem to, but I spent a lot of time throttled back on the E4.

Easier to hit with, yes. More damage, no. I speak from experience.

I dunno, I'd rate the Hizooka at about 2 Mg-151's. Plus with the 4x20mm and the 2x30, you are going to hit with the 4 20mm (in which case the 4 Hizookas would be doing more damage), or the 2 30mm (in which case the Hizookas would be doing at least as much damage).

Plus if you get bored and there are tanks around you can kill them, you can't do that with the Mk108 or the Mg151.
