The Bf110 are way too fast and fighting them in a Hurricane Mk1 is utter boredom...

No complaints, I find the BoB/BoF aircraft to be an excellent matchup.

Me, too.  This is a great plane set, except for those poor people who feel they must fly the P40B iron dog.

Anyway. I don't have any.  Then "WHY" are you posting? The reason I started this thread is because we were highjacking another thread to gripe about the plane set.


MGFF is all but useless, however by setting the convergence to 450m you get a decent concentration at D200m.  This is on the 109 correct?


 I think the Spit I should be available from all fields in the intrest of "balance". Historicaly correct or not. The 110 is just plane murder on the Hurri and the P-40.

Well the 110C-4/b never served in Battle of France, nor did the 109E-4, or the Ju 88A-4...so I would say leaving out the Spitfire I because it wasnt a BoF ride is a bit odd.

If we had the proper BoF 110C-3, some 20mph slower (@280-330max) it would be a different tune being sung.

I haven't tried the P-40B yet in there...is it anything special?

I think the 110, Spit, Ju88 and lastly the Boston don't belong.  Wouldn't be too upset if the P40 was dropped as well.  I think the Hurri vs 109 is an excellent matchup and if each plane is flown to it's max potential will make for some very memorable flights.

I agree that the P40 is a very dangerous machine with alt, but try getting above a 109 that doesn't want you to.  You are now starting to talk pilot tactics and not plane set.  What a silly thing to do :)   j/k

And then the complexion of the discussion changed and the mighty "uber P-40 Bravo" became not so mighty and not so uber and not really a plane worth complaining about (nor a point to jab the gawsh darned allied pilots about).

AAaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh ..... meeeeeeeeeen. :D

The only gripe I have with this planeset is that we never get to do the middle of the road sets.

Spit V
Seafire
Hurri IIc
P38
P47D-25

AGAINST

190A5
190A8
190F8
109G6
109G2
109F4
110G2

Something like this... can't remember the last time I flew a Spit V in the CT. We've been doing alternating early war and late war with something in the Pacific thrown in to piss everyone off.

The last time the Spit V was flown in the CT there was much gnashing of teeth and tearing of flesh and wearing of sack cloth. Ask the monk named Storch.

Ahhhhhhhh .... meeeeeeen. :D

Let em wail and gnash... Spit Vs aren't that hard to kill. Fragile lil buggers. Fun to BnZ and leave them coughing in your wake turbulence. The key here is to make sure that the Axis planes are faster and that the allies get a choice for a faster but not so dang twisty plane. Then the problem becomes self limiting. They fly Spit Vs and the 109G6s come BnZ and then run away. They get sick of this and grab P38s. 109Fs play twisty fight with the P38. Ad Nauseum.
