Il-2 Sturmovik. Torque Effects Problem: The ball "centers" only at 0% power on Bf and FW fighter aircraft.
The Torque Effect (This is a bendable tab on the rudder, adjusted by the ground crew in real life, exactly like the aileron tab of the MiG-21) should be corrected to center the ball at 100% power, for three reasons:
1) Critical Maneuvers are performed at 100% power, not at 0% power. - Eg. Takeoff, Go-Around (Waveoff), and Combat Maneuvering. With the present Torque Effect, aggravated stalls and stall/spin incidents are very likely DURING THESE MANUVERS, and occur frequently on OKL aircraft.
2) Accurate Gunnery is impossible with any power setting, except idle. Puy another way: gunnery accuracy is only possible at 0% power, (This is as useless as teats on a Boar Hog. On the Yak, I set my rudder trim to "center the ball" at 100% power. Arguably, my gunnery is superb. In the Bf or the FW, I can't hit a barn, let alone the Bull's Rear.)
3) With the present programming, IL-2 Sturmovik is unfair. When fighting highly maneuverable aircraft (Eg. Yak, La-5FN), Bf and FW fighters must have gunnery accuracy at 100% power. Against these aircraft, quickly-aimed "snap shots" will be the only opportunity for success.
Impossible gunnery and aggravated departure from controlled flight is not desirable .. when engaging in air combat.
Has the OKL FM on IL-2 Sturmovik has earned an undeserved status? Could you please correct this condition, or direct me to where a resolution may be found. We need to get the "ball" rolling.
Thank you.
