It is way better than it used to be when 1 ping would light it up.

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

Much as I love the Mossie, I'd prefer a gameplay update. Strat that means something, bridges that cut supply when knocked out, anything in fact.

Meh, I'm just a whinar.  :furious

The difficulty for developers is they cannot please all the people all the time. Lucky if they please half the people half the time. At least with model updates HTC know their efforts will be appreciated and improve the game for everyone. Changing gameplay mechanics is a risky business and unrewarding in terms of customer satisfaction so finding a balance and sticking to it is far wiser. Not saying i wouldnt like to see gameplay tweaks and additions but just think of the difficulty of having to decide which customers to listen to.

Yeah, understood. What we have now is no doubt "everybody's second choice", as opposed to the first choice of a subset of people. Commercially wise, but I can't face it anymore.

My biggest question is when overwhelming evidence is presented to HTC with regards to an inaacurate flight model with one of their planes why it isnt corrected.  It seems that many of the remedies could be applied rather easily.  There have been many threads on the Mossi in the past 8 mos.

The incorrect speed tables for the Mossi FB Mk IV have been noted many time, with printed sources, and yet nothing has been done.  I understand that there were some control/stall issues at one point and they corrected that, but the Mossi's biggest asset (besides being the best multi-role plane in WWII) was speed.  Robbing it of its biggest asset is a shame.  Evidently, those blasted flame dampeners are the culprit of the 5-15mph deficiency (5mph at 8k and 15 mph at 15k).  Those flame dampeners were present on less than %20 of the FB Mk IV, iirc.
