And if you're like me, interested in German historical squads, your options are somewhat limited. Our fast fighter handles like a pregnant hippo, and our "nimble" ones are either slower than snails (109F4) or don't really turn (190A5). The option of going allied is non existant in JG54, and I don't want to change squad (you should hear our RW conversations ). Besides, I hate flying for the good guys. Bad guys unite! -StSanta
you are getting a bit of a warped perspective limiting your options that way.
If you don't fly the planes your likely to fight against there is no way you can really see what they are capable of from a first person point of view.
by flying only LW planes you have turned the allied aircraft you refuse to fly into a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.
you only see them from the cockpit of your LW fighter and can only see a 3rd person perspective of what they are capable and not capable of...
if you flew them a bit some of the mystery would be removed and they would be easier to engage effectively to your own aircrafts strengths.
don't fall back on the old excuse of "I fly only LW not that allied garbage"
fly the allied planes too and you will see in a less jaded light how capable the LW planes are.
I've flown the axis planes a bit and the allied planes a bit more and I find both very capable
