With many complaining about the new uberesque planes we have introduced here, there is a way to counter this seemingly slide towards the late end war birds. First and foremost a lot of plane designs made in the early 40's-43 never made it out of the factory, some did and were used for local defense. I am mainly speaking of german designs since there were so many in the last 3-4 years of the war. Take the FW-187 Falke, twin engine bird that lost to the ME-110 do to political pressure. take this plane and re-equip it with newer engines of 44 and we have a starling born. Here are some stats just on performance, mind you if new engines were added performance would increase. Would take an engineer to figure out thrust/HP/less weight/aerodynamic qualities but it could easily be done.
Performance: Normal, Loaded
Maximum Speed:
322 mph (518 kph) at sea level
329 mph (529 kph) at 13,780 ft (4,200m)
Initial climb: 3,445 ft/m (1050 m/m)
Time to 6,560 ft (2,000m): 1.9 minutes
Time to 19,685 ft (6,000m): 5.8 minutes
Service Ceiling: 32,810 ft. (10,000m)
Armament:
Two 20mm MG FF Cannon in lower fuselage
Four 7.9mm Mg 17 Machine Guns in fuselage sides
For me I fly this game because of the variety of planes, if I get shot down by a guy in a Tempest well that is fine, but I have the confidence that I fly a lot of planes that are in the 30-35 value range. Gave up on the D-9 do to so many flying it. Kind of like the new kid on the block pretty soon he gets as boring to hang out with as the lunch lady is on sex-ed. IMO the D-9 should be perked, as well as the LA-7 not much but some points. Its sad when you fly into an area and all you see is FW190 this and LA-7 that and N1k here there too. DO people honestly have fun flying these planes and there country is at a huge advantage in flyers? To me satisfaction is flying a N1K with odds in their favor. Or a F-8 and try and kill a buff in it. <---- not very succesful so far in this one. Dunno we voice and they listen, time to speak what should really be done. In a serious manner..
