Me410

Anybody experienced any funky stalls in 410? I have.

It flicks quite easily into a flat stall that is guaranteed to take you down to turf with no chance to recover.

I did it once, pulled max force on the stick right, aileron right, rudder left. It went into a flat spin and I dropped about 3000ft until I cut the engines and rudder opposite of the spin.

Patch 4 tweaked the damage model on the 410, according to the notes. Anybody notice any difference as of today?

I ate one up with my A-20... Shot off its wing, then exploded it with the next shot... However, they seem a bit more durable than before. It took a good burst to blow it up. Then again, I hit a P-47 with a snap shot and it burned immediately.

should be noted it was really the pilot wound/kill that was moded I believe

Sounds like it wasn't just the pilot. It was both. To quote the patch notes:

"It's a little more durable and more resistant to pilot kills."


"and" to me suggests 2 areas of change.

Some complained it caught fire easier than the betty, so maybe that was its other toughness tweak.  Personaly, I couldn't comment on that as I always got PW or killed before being lit aflame while flying it prior to patch 4.  I feel it take two-three stray bbs to PW the 410 now where before it barely took one.

The flat stall in it is wicked, and I have stalled it way too low to recover a couple times, but it is recoverable if yuo work the engines and throttle.  Getting into a nasty tail-first backwards slide with a aft-heavy 152 is much worse imho (and eats up altitude faster, but thats just my opinion).

Never lost rear fuselage or tail, consistently lose wings still.

Probably because you blow up before that will ever happen. I did have a 410 eat a tater in the tail and fly away with one missing elevator.

The pilot doesn't die first time, every time, any more, but I am still worried about the damage. The wings seem very fragile. Seemed to me it was the entire wing on one side that went 3 or 4 sorties in a row, from any kind of fire.

Also, it says the ENTIRE wing is gone but the half-wing out past the engine is still there and the engine is running. Wouldn't the entire wing mean that was gone? Not sure if that's a bug or some kind of oversight, or what?

I've also been noticing a severe locking up of the elevators in shallow dives even with dive brakes out. Anybody else getting this?

Yes I've seen this too...seems over modeled for fragility.
