The front view is horrid now, especially in the g6/14, but also in the K4. Why when LW planes get redone the cockpit bars have to balloon is beyond me. The Spit's bars are tiny, making the foreward very unobstructed. Even the 109F isn't that bad, but how the bars basically double in width from the F to the G series is beyond me. I seriously doubt there was that much difference in the two inreal life, besides the improved rear view.
Good point, the 190s also had the bars balloon when they were reworked. I flew the 190A8 until HT reworked it, so I started looking for a new plane, so I switched to the 109F4 and G6. Now that he has "reworked" the 109s...
Hell I don't know...
I really have tried to fly something in here besides LA's and Spits...
Maybe I just have to give up, go to a Spit or a LA, and give it a rest.
The quest for a decent fighter that ain't a spit or lala is best left for those who are better pilots than I am.
Last night I boomed a LA7 in a G14 (with only the 30mm no gondies), and next thing we went round and round about 2 times, he had went vertical, reversed, and hit my engine for a oil leak. Proably Shane, no one ever did that in the old G6, and I usually flew that with gondies. I took it home, and landed it in disgust.
That was probably my last fight in a 109.
I think HT wants us all in Spits and LA LA's.
So be it
