So when I think my F4U1A has gotten slow compared to before the update, that's not just my imagination?

I remember first flight it felt like accelerating alot slower, and top speed while level also seemed lower I think..?
Between Wednesday and today, WWII aircraft have been flying about 30mph faster than they're supposed to. Now they fly like they used to before Wednesday.

Hmm, strange.. I just feel like my hog is falling behind now compared to earlier, before Wednesday even.. So it was just my imagination after all then.  :noid

Think it has to do w/ the new runway modeling?
(just thought about that)

I noticed belly landing speeds have an effect on whether you catch fire or not. At 150 in the LA-7 you almost always catch fire. At 100 not so much.

I haven't flown much recently, but my squad noticed that it seems to take more fire to inflict damage on enemy aircraft in WWII now. I wonder if this is a lag issue possibly caused by whatever is killing the SEA, or an effect of the new damage modeling.

I personally haven't noticed much difference in WWII. The 1A handles just as she did before, and Spits still go down if you sneeze on their wings.

Neither have I, I know for a fact though there is something different regarding fires based off experience.  If I do the exact same thing for a year straight with no fires and then on the first night of the patch I do it and I get a fire, I know something is different.  I know my planes well :)

Sry I missed this.

I would doubt that HTC coded actual bumps into the runway, and it's just an added effect when you have wheels down, regardless of the surface you roll on.  That's just a guess though and it may entirely have to do with this.  All I know is something is different!

strange stuff for sure, but maybe more realistic? I mean, it's not often a real plane can belly land at 100-150mph without serious risk. Perhaps do some tests belly landing at much slower speeds? what speed were you at in the 152 Grizz, any ideas? Realisticaly I would be crapping my pants about landing a real plane belly style at even 60mph.
