I'm not inclined to disable the 110.  Scary as it is, I share with Storch the sense that the 1940 plane set favors the English.  Heck, last night I managed to shoot Eagler's Emil down a couple of times with a Spit.  That's the equivalent of Gerald Ford beating Tiger Woods at golf.  Twice.  While some of the really good sticks, like Eagler and Eskimo, think that the Emil v. Spit is a good fight, there are many like me who think that flying the Emil well is a true challenge.  For those people, I think the 110 keeps the matchup enjoyable.

And frankly, if you can't beat the 110 in a Spit, I don't understand why.

I think your right OM. This will be the first BOB type setup where I'm flying Allied. I think the 110 belongs in this setup, I may wish I hadnt said it later.:D

It's that old fishing truth... before you can fry him, you have to catch him.

Timidly...oops... I mean carefully flown, the 110 will rarely if ever be in range of the .303's on either Brit plane.

All it takes is a reasonably competent B&Z pilot with patience.

I guess I could have just said "What Eskimo said".

if the german cannon rounds were properly modelled....but then again if my grandmother had wheels she'd be a bicycle.  :aok

I'll just excuse myself from these nonsensical set ups.  I'm having much more fun in the MA, thanks!

LOL, Eagler is 24/12 in the 109e.

The entire arena is 80/61 for the 109e.

Lump in the 110c and that's almost a quarter of the LW kills!

While I’m having a good time with it, the 110C is not dominating as I predicted.  The 109e has 80% of the German fighter kills.
