Bozon thinks it should be harder for an la7 to catch him and thus an FBM higher then 1 is the only way to do that. He has claimed through out that La7s are "over used". He doesn't want La7s to be able to catch him. Thats what I suspected and his statement confirms that. Once you look up that definition tell me where is the "conspiracy" in that.
Batz, you can relax. I'm not after your La7s.
They will still catch me, so will yaks, 109s, 190s, P51s, typhoons, F4us. At typical MA altidutes they all outrun the Jug. Even the spit IX the jug can barely outrun. Heck, La7 will catch the jug down low even while flying at cruise settings, FBM changes nothing.
Then you disregard me stating that I think FBM=2 is on the edge of playability for yaks and LA7s and I think it should be LOWER, just so these planes are still used. USED yes, that's USED and have enough quality fight that's fight, not just flight) time.
I do want fuel load and management to mean something. Since most MA sorties are around the 20-30 min time, since by then you are either shot down or out of ammo, while real sorties were a few hours long, setting FBM=1 makes any fuel considerations negligible.
the non-compression in the vertical means nothing to low flying planes of the eastern front. 25 miles between bases sounds a little even by eastern front standards - it means about 12 miles from the front line. Perhaps some forward landing strip for refueling but not a base. If you have other info, I'd be happy to learn.
you can relax. La7 will still be the popular plane, Yaks are rare as it is, and P51s will always have the longets range and be called runstags.
