So in summary: the 110 is not overmodelled at all and the 2:1 kill ratio it has over either the Spit I or Hurricane I is because us RAF pilots are stupid and incompetent.
If you put it that way, yes indeed - most of the Allied pilots I've seen are definately flying stupid and incompetent.
I'm an Axis guy, but I try to help even out the situation everybit as possible. That being said, for the past few days I've been playing as the RAF - which would mean that everytime I log on, I was inlcined to move to the RAF to help out. People were just getting slaughtered over there.
The depressing thing is, even the some of the better pilots were so often succumbing to the urge to chase down every plane they see. A lone 110 tangling with 2~3 Spitfires down low, and you'd definately see someone jumping into the fray. The problem is, the RAF, at least while we are limited to 30calibre weapons, do not have such luxury against the Luftwaffe. The Channel is very narrow - only about 5 minutes flight from Abbeville area. Enemy reinforcements come in by the minute. The fact that their planes having superior climb(109) and dives(109/110) is pretty deadly by itself, but letting them come overhead unmatched is even worse.
A logical solution is to take the entire fight as a group, and not necessarily an individual. When 2~3 109s or 110s are tangling with 5~6 Spitfires and Hurricanes, they don't need the help. Sooner or later, they are gonna be able to shoot it down, or at least press it into a very hard situation, making them run towards home. What they need, is friendlies coming in to fight enemy reinforcements. Newly arrived planes at the scene, should be looking ahead and engaging enemy reinforcements arriving - not looking down and diving at the first opportunity they see and go dogfighting like mad - which usually ends up in a massacre of Spits and Hurricanes to high enemy 109s and 110s.
However, everytime I up a plane, the guys who were with me at alt suddenly vanish. I search for them, and see that they are running in circles against a few 109s and 110s 100ft above water. It's usually that moment where new wave of 109s and 110s arrive. Now I'm torn - do I stay above and try to fight them all by myself? Or do I go head first into a certain-death where all the low Spit/Hurri buddies are now crying for help?
If I hope for the best, and jump down to help friendlies, I'll end up right next to their grave, hammered and riddled by cannons from massive number of 109s and 110s coming in above us unchallenged.
If I try to stay high and fight them alone, all my friendlies low are shot down. Soon, even the low 109s and 110s come crawling up, and my odds are like 7 to 1. I usually end up in the foremost place of the big, red conga line. Screaming towards home, hoping my WEP won't cut off before I reach English shores.
So yeah, I'd definately say the RAF is usually flying incompetent and stupid. It's not necessarily the Luftwafe is superior in overall quality. They got a lot of good pilots, but the rest of the pilots are just as average as our own. However, the difference is that the LW guys know their 110s and 109s cannot turn with Hurris or Spits, and that usually forces them to keep a certain amount of discipline when engaging. However, being in such wonderful maneuvering planes, our poor RAF lads just love to go into the death spiral, and end up getting hounded by dozens of 109s on ther tail. The 109s force them to turn, the 110 comes in screaming and finishes them off.
OK. Thanks for that analysis.
So since the 110 was actually so uber, history is wrong and it should not be removed in the next setup. Maybe you should remove the 109 instead.
More like the RAF are dunce, rather than 110 being uber.
It's basically really simple.
You go and fight certain way, and get shot down. Do you:
1) go in there, fight the same way, and get shot down again?
2) or go in there, try fight differently, and survive long enough to land kills?
....and the RAF, are currently choosing 1), for some reason.
Death wish? I wouldn't know. I'm not originally an Allied guy. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out that the way they are flying gets them killed... and yet they do it all over again, and again, and again, and again.
