Could someone refresh my memory please?

I saw that HTC did work to the FM of the Brewster to help some " stability issues". (v2.19 notes)

I checked the search function but couldn't find what I was looking for. Do we have anything nailed down yet as to what happened? (Got any data Wmaker, Ack, Snailman, anybody?) I just think that a little explanation would go a long way toward putting people at ease about the plane.

Perhaps the Brew really should fly like a lazer on rails. If that's the case, we're just gonna have to learn how to fight them. (Personally, I just HO every Brewster I see.)

I remember when that patch came out. You RARELY saw Brews before hand, then BANG, everybody started flying them. Pretty drastic and sweeping change of opinion about that plane.

Was the FM really THAT badly screwed in the first place, or is it screwed now? Or is it just right? I don't know.

Enjoy

Here's a topic which deals with the directional instability issues that Brewster had before: http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,270213.0.html

Don't know quite what you mean, but Brewster even in it's current condition doesn't really compare to the best gun platforms in AH.

I don't think the increase in usage was quite as drastic as you potray it but, yes, at least the number of kills scored by the Brewster in a tour did increase.

It was, in a way, quite "unpleasant" to fly when it comes to those aspects of the flight model. In terms of what was corrected and is it "right" right now, it's best that you refer to the thread I gave the link to.

considering both planes couldn't catch a cold I doubt changing their ENY values would make any bit of difference in how often they get used.

When I see people hording I don't see a bunch of Brew's or hurricanes coming after my base  ;)

Certainly I agree with that! The highest alt I ever climb with Brewster prior arriving to an enemy field is 9-10k and that is fairly rare. I will climb higher after spotting cons at higher alts off course

I just don't quite see your point? Where are you getting at? Is it something I said regards the speeds of the Hurricane on the deck compared to the Brewster? In this guest for the right eny on these planes, I think too many people are too hung up on how they do vs each other instead of thinking what traits are generally needed in the MA.
The reason for always thinking the brew owned a hurri was the alt of the fight, I probably have never had a hurri vs anything or brew vs anything fight above 5k.

edit Wasnt looking at the whole picture just where most furballing happened.
