That takes care of the first 72 hours... what about the next 6 months?
No, the surest way to get their attention was to post a pic of Hatch's head on Adolf Hitler (remember that?). That post sat for maybe an hour or so before a sharp TOS was sent out. Don't tell me they didn't look at the boards.
Agree, totally a waste of time looking for anything positive on their BBS. What wound me up more than anything else was knowing I was right about what I was seeing and enduring people visciously denying the existance of such issues. I still think it is a waste of time for them to unlock the OT there to the public, because the crowd there won't behave any better this time around.
One issue I pounded on was the knife-edge flight. Unbelievable the amount of denial on that topic. When CRS did comment, what was the response? "We have the most realistic f/m on the market, because we blah blah blah..." Not one comment on the totally unrealistic aspect of the flight model and its subsequent effect on air combat. So, with this little exploit, it was easy and even wise to crank a Stuka over on its side and hold all the rudder in. In this manner you could outturn anything, never have to worry about drag bleeding your energy AND have a better climb rate than if you had the wings more level. Sorry, that is a gaping hole in game play to me, because it is now impossible to treat the Stuka in an historical manner. You wouldn't dare try a spiral climb or rope one, because that dude was gonna smoke you- I know, because I had a couple of hundred kills doing just that. Often I wouldn't even bother dropping ord first, as there was absolutely no need to waste the bombs.
Sure, after a while there was drag added, but that was MONTHS afterward. Surely you, as the mostly pilot you are, recognize the implications. So... how do you handle it then? Sure, run, extend, grab height, hit and run, repeat. Still... roping should have been an option.
