Ok, a two part Q and A section. I've two questions, i'd hope for 2 replies.

1) Is it possible to mod the ai and radio coms to have more advanced squadron commands? For example, having 4 different flights actually do formations together? Because at least within the RAF, squadrons would assume a formation with the individual sectinos in a different sub-formation. Such as the squadron being in line astern, but the sections in, for example, right echelon? Or the squadron in a vic, but the sections line abreast? Or squadron in extended line and the sections in extended line for a good area sweeping formation? etc etc.

It'd add far more depth to see 16 aircraft creating a kick ass formation instead of the usual 4.

ok, that's q1.



2) Does anyone else find the U-2 / Po-2 rather underpowered? because i've found that no matter how low the fuel load, with the plane empty and devoid of ammo, and with the mixture at any setting, I can barely get the plane to climb beyond 2000ft on take off; if i start off flying high it'll drop down to much lower levels, eg 2000-1500ft, given enough time, whether it starts from 20,000ft or 10,000ft.
Am I doing anything wrong? I'd love to be able to fly the aeroplane, but it simply cannot reach beyond 100mph. We're doing a WW1 mod right now; i reckon that some of the later aircraft will be able to out climb, out manoeuver (although fighters would have been able to do that anyway probably), and outrun the Po-2, which is a 1930s bi plane, not a 1917 aircraft.

Am I the only one who expiriences this? Is it fixable? if not, no worries, but it would be nice to fly it propperly.

Cheers!
