I think the problem is you are all very biased, well most of you. Well I am not biased <grin> check out my stats, i have flown all different planes, of all different nationalities quite alot. I fly Jug,P38,P51,g10,g2,190a5,f4u, etcera. I dont fly alot of russian planes so i wont speak on them.
I think very few planes don't perform like they should. My gripes are
1) Ponies wings definitely DO come off too easy, i agree with pony pilots on this one.
2) P38's stall isn't like it should be (should be more mild, thing seems to like to flat spin).Also, the effect of 1 engine off seems wrong to me. I dont think 2 engined planes are modeled correctly. A B26 or a P38 or a b17 with an engine out should be harder to fly than it is.
3) 190A5 FM seems spot on to me. Remember when you complain of UFO A5s they are likely flying with 2 cannon not 4.
4) Spitfires should have nastier spins, i have read many times 190 pilots could push their planes further because spits were so nasty to get out of spin (because of elliptic planform, it has its drawbacks).
5) Mausers have more dispersion than hispanos it seems to me, why?
6)The 190a8 seems to perform too bad, how could it possible kill buffs at 25k. Try doing that in here in a 190a8. It was designed to be a buff killer.
7)Compression seems too nasty at low alts, IE it is hard to decompress even when you get to the lower atmosphere where mach# is higher.
