Tempest neutered now?

[moot]

it seems very nonrespondsive and heavy. The speed is still there but handling is very poor now

Per the read me file for 2.12

Changed maximum airspeed limitation for Tempest flaps and gear.

I took a Tempest up last night for the first time since the new patch came out, and it seems very nonrespondsive and heavy. The speed is still there but handling is very poor now....IMO.

You're flying it wrong.

OK I feel better now. Moray this dumb post of mine is all your fault!!

So, yes, it was tweaked and something did get changed.

So how does messing with the speed that gears and flaps come out make it "very nonrespondsive and heavy"?

If your slow enough to deploy flaps in a tempest in a fight then your to slow.

Point was, everyone was saying nothing was done to the Tempest in this upgrade.  The read me says otherwise.  Also, after working in the software industry for enough years to know how things go it is possible that something was indirectly effected.  I don't usually fly the Tempest so I couldn't tell you, but it obviously, by the read me, was modified this go around.

Other minor things were changed/fixed aswell not mentioned in the read me.
Such as the p39's gunsights, the auto take off isnt as violent, and its not ubber at 12k anymore.

So yeah, things got changed here and there.

Thing is that every time theres an update someone says that a plane that was updated or had something changed that doesnt effect the flight model is porked and doesnt fly right.

True, and sometimes they are right and sometimes they aren't.

[Masherbrum]

Nothing changed.

It seems "he changed", but the plane didn't.
