I think some pilots are getting better at diving down on the Ostie from near vertical to deliver their MG & cannon right into the turret. I agree with you on the softness, but unfortunately it is the nature of this particualr beast. They know once that is done, it is pretty well castrated! I only sit still when in a friendly airfield, otherwise I am moving in 3rd or 4th gear, constantly changing direction to make it tough on them.
