vv funked i guess they were but the main reasonwas the huge allied numbers set against the very small numbers of LW.In AH you can meet up with equal numbers of lw vs allied planes and still with your best planes and still be at a disadvantage(guns/toned down roll etc must be something to do with this feeling that the LW are muted).
as it was the LW produced fantastic machines, clearly allied pilots admit to this in the majority of cases and if they had the numbers and fuel etc it is an accepted fact that they would very likely have stopped the raids or at least made them too costly to continue.It nearly happened a few times even as the LW were thought beaten they managed to hit raids heavily.One with 65 or so bombers shot down or damaged i think if i remember rightly.
Well even with the fuel and the numbers in AH the LW do not have anything approaching the fear factor/amazing weapons that the pilots i see in interviews talk about.
they openly admit on occations that they couldnt touch the jets until they landed etc.
well if LW was weak at the end of the war 44-45 because of lack of experienced pilots and low fuel and hardships with manufacture etc in AH this would not be the same would it? In AH they would/should be the most numerous shouldnt they?
If like the pilots say 'the 30mm could kill a b17 with 1 round' and 'mg151 were very effective' shouldnt we feel that?
I know what im asking for is still on the way in the form of fleshng out the planeset, but what id like to see is a bit of a swing in LWs favour in terms of their arsenal.So we can cause the sort of worry the allies felt in fighting them? If we are going late war then hell yeah give us late war stuff.
me163,me262,do335 (ifit saw action),he 219, he162,ju188,me410 etc
I know we got arado and ta152 but i knew nothing about their capabilities and i think now they are really more novelty than efficent.Not that im ungratefull honestly.Just with hindsight a me410 or me110 would greatly improve LW ground attack ability, a he177 grief would have given LW a similar surviveable bomber like the allies have with a loadout that is usefull to a single flyer.and decent guns to defend with.Ju188 would mean no more 7.92 frustration Mgs but same ordinance and better speed.
you see what i mean funked? its hard to explain without sounding very ungratefull.This is what i was trying to say about equal arsenal.
and btw i fly the ju88 LOADS and i love it but please let me fly it against hurricaines with 8x303s
and spitI-V's dont punish me for likeing LW and having to fly a 1940? bomber in 1945 airspace.Same goes for the russian and italian and jap fans.Give them usefull introductions before classic stuff if the arena is ,like you say truely heading for 1944-45 era.
again i say this is not an attack and i know it couldnt be helped or predicted im just letting out my frustrations as a fan of LW classics and super weapons alike.(yes i do love spits,hurricanes,mossies,p51s,p47s etc so please dont think this is aimed at allies etc either plz)
