Quote:3. The endless spiral climb... After the first pass the Bf 109 started climbing, climbing and climbing until I just got bored chasing it and dived to the ground. After a minute he followed me, but after I got on his tail (with scissors, I could outturn him!) the 109 started to claimb again...
I am by no mean an ace, but if i had been in the 109, that's exactly what i'd have done, provided that you were not in position to shoot, and it was certain we were in a one vs one combat. This is the best tactic and a historical one, with this planeset opposition. Now there is still the overheat issue, but with AI limited to 90 (rookie) up to 98 (ace) % of max performance, it should be a fair fight.
Quote:rollnloop, until 2 days ago i would have agreed 100% with that. Since i installed this mod - i watched an F4F-3 trying to turn in behind a Zero, and he was continually firing little short bursts at the Zero every time he thought he might hit! None of that incessant firing - it was great to see!!
This is really great news, i'm longing to get back home and test it !
