What happened to LW?

I think HTC needs to fix the 190s before ToD comes out if they want people to play it. Whos ganna want to fly a messed up 190s into a group of P51s and B17s.

Morph, the worst thing is that it seems to be the stall limiter even if it is turned off :D ;)

Of course you all being ex-LW pilots and having flown real 190/109s you'd know things were 'off'?

From another thread -
HT said NO fm's had been altered on any of the remodels. (of course this excludes the K4/G14)

wow, so when you piss and moan about your spitfires not being right or what other EroTfighter  you can come up with, its because you have countless hours of stick time in them? Please.

Pay attention Here please.

We're talking about for one, obvious mistakes. Such as combat flaps or lack there of. Or the lack of operational flaperons. Not to mention the obvious change in flight characteristics with each update making it feel even worse.

When the last update first came out I felt it right away. I didnt say anything because I knew I'd have countless numbers of people like you, Kevin, with smart ass, whiner remarks. But then I saw this thread, and talked to Nath even before he posted this thread about how the new LW's felt, and I knew it wasnt just me then.

If there was a problem or something was missing on a P51D that WAS there on all P51D's in real life, and its not in the game, it would be fixed ASAP.

Don't know why it is like that, I doubt the german planes were that much worse then allied planes but who knows...


It allways was , you remember the "Rumble" ?

People like crummp/MANDO/RAM ect got tired of posting datas and stuff proving that the *real* 190A-5 was a PIG compare to 190A-4 and A-8 for almost.... 6 years!!! (heh i've been reading old threads from  Aircraft and Vehicle lately )  :)

Actually Kev that doesn't exlude the K4, it actually includes the K4 as it is teh EXACT same as the G10 (acording to HT).

It exludes the G14 since the G14 is a new plane, not a remodelled one.

This is no different from all the Sissyfire threads Kev.

But of course the Allied planes were that far greater then the German ones, afterall, the allies won the war.

We all know the winners write the history.

Blerch, this is a pretty dead subject, it has been a dead subject for years and will be a dead subject for years to come. For some reason I, and many more, will keep discussing it though.

Ok.

the 109s as of right are OK (except the G-14, G-14 is not making its top speed of 416 mph at 16,400 feet).  

The 190s such as A8/F-8 and D-9 are ok (data wise) but from what i've read the 190A-5 is way off and all 190 FM is unchanged when AH2 released.

Data wise OK yes as for speed and climb (pretty close atleast) but that is not what it is about really.

Dive acceleration, level acceleration, zoom climbs, stall characteristics...

Main problem with 190A5 was its top military speed COMPARED with 190A8. 190A5 uses the very same military power setting as 190A8, it was lighter and less draggy (as only difference for AH was weight and MG mounts) but top military speed was the same as 190A8.

Now if we look into AH planes data, 190A5 is modeled with 8583 lbs and 190A8 with 9682 lbs. In no way they can have the same top speed for the same military poweroutput.

ah, no wonder there's been a *noise* going on right now;)  


by the way this issue should have been addressed and solved a year ago or two
