Another receiver of his Melee PMs here. I had the audacity to come over and help a set of B-24s or 17s he was attacking in a Dora, might have been. I really didn't know that was a bad thing to do. And I made it even worse but doing it in a 'attack' plane which happen to be the Yak-9T, which really is NOT a ground support type of plane.

Adding new content would mostly likely help alot.

It is not, compared, that much work to use existing plane models to extend the planeset and add a few iconic vehicles.

Im thinking of BF109g6as, BF109g6as, FW190A9(TS engine), and allied fans can fill in the blanks.

Some planes need minor changes A36 come into my mind, spit5VD, FW190A2, Mossie variants.

Add StugIII M10/M36 Firefly (buy a few 3d artist works from a low cost country)

Please leave large maps out of rotation, ask our talented mapmakers to focus on new smaller maps.

Please fix the obvious faulty damage models (Yak3, B26)

Old players may return, scenarios might get a new twist reusing old maps.

If last addon was 2014 it is probably time do do something.

Its a tank, some question how it can seem to soak up more ammo than a B17, B24.

I fly it all the time, think people underestimate the speed at which it flies. It isn't a tank but people are more used to b17s and b24s.

Dive under it, climb up and it's dead.

It will go into a 450 mph shallow dive and prevent most fighters from overtaking it without completely compressing. I can only imagine the waist gunners in front of the open windows holding on for their dear lives against a 450 mph wind at nearly zero G.... :eek:

One solution for that (and one that I've advocated in the past) would be to tighten up the drone leash to stop such shenanigans when using formations.
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.

The B26 pretty much always escape a tailchase by doing a shallow dive at 400-450 mph to the deck, so the closure rate is abysmal, and it also protect itself from attack from underneath, while blasting attacker to to pieces even before you come into range.

I have decent success with B-26s so long as I have plenty of alt.  It's hard for them to hit me when I am diving in on them from high six at 500 mph.   They still take one hell of a pounding compared to just about anything this side of a Yak.

Funniest thing is when you land with only one engine and start doing doughnuts trying to get to runway.

When flying a b26 if you can force them to attack from 6/high 6, it's highly unlikely they can make 3 passes and kill all 3 bombers before you've either killed them or taken out their engine.

When flying a 262 in prefer attacking them from the low front quadrant if possible. If they are on the deck, best chance is to make slashing passes from the side. Still.one of the most difficult buffs to kill when fast.
