I
WAS flying 109's and 190's when we switched to AH2, ask Crumpp and Storch, since I always fly on the side with the least numbers in the CT, I flew LW 80% of the time back then as the Axis were usually heavily outnumbered. I never said AH2 did not change the planes, you are putting words in my mouth, what I have said is that since AH2 no patches have made changes to any flight models that were not noted in the ReadMe for that patch.
There was no change with the new graphics for 190s, but there WAS for 109s. Specifically roll rate. If you have a second machine install 2.0 patch 2 or 3 or something and note the 109E roll rate. Then try AH1 roll rate. Then try 2.06 roll rate. The roll rate jumped noticably when 2.0 came out, and dropped again the instant 2.06 came out. This for 109E and K4, not so much the others.

I just tested the 109E, 109F, 109G-10/K-4, F4U-1 and Tiffie in these versions of AH:
AH1.14, 2.0, 2.02, 2.03, 2.04 and 2.06.
Krusty is correct, there was on average nearly a full second reduction in time to roll 360 deg for the 109's that the F4U and Tiffie did not get with the change from AH1 to AH2 (something I have never disputed). In every 2.0x version I tested however, EVERY version of EVERY plane is IDENTICAL in roll rate. I repeat, there is no difference (past the margin of error for a human's thumb working a stopwatch) in any version of 109 in any patch of AH2 up to the current version. You can claim they are different all you want, but I just tested five patch levels of the game and they are all the same.
I'd like to clarify something. I'm not a "LW Conspiracy nut". I don't think the LW planes are being intentionally hindered blah blah blah. Good or bad, whatever, for whatever intentions, there *have* been certain key changes. The increased turn capabilities of the Fw190 was a change that came about with 2.0. That's all I've advocated in this issue. Not that HTC is out to get us.. whooo...
Whether HTC intended it, there have been certain changes. None recently to the 190s, but there have been them.
As I have said, I dont want this to sound like I am calling you guys liars, I am not. I truely believe you feel something is different. I think you are flat wrong, I think it
is your imagination, I know my testing bears that out to my satisfaction, but I dont think you are just making it up.
Who knows, maybe down the road HT will find something wrong and say "hey, this has been porked off and on" but I seriously doubt it.
