Has anyone else seen spitfires dancin' like flipper on thier tails, and then having enough E to close on you like nothing and blow ya outta the sky?

*ATTN* this is not a whine, nor a squeak, just a question.

Hamish!

Yes. It's an abomination and the behavior discusts me. Since we can't ask pilots to fly 'right' how about HTC modeling gravitational effects on the pilot, beyond the simple redout/blackout. Also disabled the auto-trim during said spells (as well as when in clouds).
See the general forumn topic on Cumulative Pilot Fatigue.

Are you talking about where they dance around like the Tasmanian devil? I've seen P-51's and F4U's doing this more than Spits. When you catch a guy who thinks running = ACM, sometimes that's all he's got in the ACM bag...

W.B's Taz is waaay overmodelled!

Real Tasmanian Devils aren't that fast. And their fur is black not brown.

This has nothing to do with the way 1.04 models E and speed retention in wild manouvering now does it? Of course not, couldn't be!
