that would just create more arguments about "you should have used this" and that is wrong because this other data is more reliable.....

I 'm pretty sure that there are no reliable source on this matter. That is why I asked about the source. It is either modeled on intelligent guess or anecdotal reports.

I found that by simply diving my bf109 at full throttle in a very shallow dive of only a few degrees that any La5 or La7 trying to follow would simply fall apart in mid air and crash...

said no German ww2 pilot ever.

at least AH's flight models are not retarded.

Hmm. Almost all russian pilots wrote that it was useless to follow in dive  109 or 190 as these planes dived faster. And nobody could tell you the critical speed your Yak or La could withstand in a long dive. It could vary a lot.
In these case WT approach doesn't look that bad. They try to make things to be closer to practice then to theoretical data.
You know in AH guns never jam, in WT they do often if you start to spray

I can't tell details i am still under Dev NDA, i build around 70 FMs overall and it was great

Well, if you're still under an NDA... I'm guessing that you're working on a new project with them?

NDAs and non-compete agreements can extend a period of time after leaving a company, as well, so not necessarily.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Wow, NCA/NCC is serious business.

I've flown the P38 several times now in War Thunder. I thought it was an okay flight model for a while... until I installed Aces High on my computer and flew in Aces High for the first time in nearly 2 years. I must say that the P38 in AH feels like flying a souped up Ferrari on steroids compared to the slow, slumbering dump truck P38 in War Thunder. There is also a bug in the flight model that when you engage WEP, it actually creates drag and slows the plane down. :rolleyes:

It doesn't stall the same, infact it has the terrible generic IL2 stalls all of their FMs have and the rudder authority is less; the controls are mushy.
that suxx...were you using the full realism flight controls and flying in frb match? i manually turned off that stupid "instructor" by editing a game file and the few planes i have suddenly started flying better. one big ugly effect of turning off all the nanny helpers is the weird horizontal oscillation due to the rudder trim, or lack thereof. it probably wouldn't be so bad if i had rudder pedals...

the fm on the c.202 sucks rocks...it's a slug compared to the ah version. the 110c4 makes a great dirt dart, dive recovery sucks rocks and it turns like a dump truck...the same plane in ah at least has a chance in a dog fight.

i need to stop playing that game, it's really messing up my flying in ah...can't keep anything in the air or hit what i'm shooting at.
