Ded: I'm not going to tell you that every aspect of the flight model is right. However, this thing of people constantly claiming the F4Us shouldn't turn well because "they are big and heavy" is irritating and gets old. It is EXACTLY like claiming that heavier objects should fall faster than light ones, or that the Sun revolves around the Earth, because you know it is just so darn intuitively "right".
I agree, that is why I think everyone is wrong. 6 years ago, F4Us and 109s could not turn. Few years ago, they learned how to do it. Both were based on the most accurate data, best ever modeling, etc etc. So which model was right? I could not tell you but you can see why people may question the models.
Last night I was turning a G6 inside a 38J 10 feed off the ground with the stall buzzer on. After what seemed to be 10 turns i gained enough for a shot. Can a G6 do that? I don't know. Would anyone consider it in real life? I know I wouldn't. Its a game. Nothing is realistic. Not the war, the engagements, the silly buildings, the way a field is captured, even the flames are not modeled right. Why would you think that the planes are and how could anyone imagine how the real stuff was like?
