I've thought this for a long time, but without the wild card of the Fw190, the contest is much more interesting and engaging for the red team. The no-look, no-aim, insta-death magic gunz of the 190 are really quite a yawn for me.

I can feel your pain

"Yeah US planes are weak, you can even take them down with bi-planes:"

I'd like to know how you even caught up. Try the same thing with a Wildcat though. You will be up all night And, not only US planes will light like that. 109s are susceptible to this, and the tank is not even in the wing where it can be hit easily.

Being the TK'er he doesn't have much probs with that part .

From the lowered under carriage I'ld assume the Mustang was either taking off or landing. The really hard part would be slotting your self into the circuit pattern with the crosses on your plane

Now, if you want to have a blast and actually be able to be competitive in the P51, I suggest joining the Skies of Valor server and wait for a map called "Italian Stallions" or some such. It's basically a knock-down fight between P51C's and Bf109s. I've flown the map about 6 times now, and the outcomes are MUCH more like real life accounts. Flown correctly, the Mustang holds a nice E advantage and if you keep the fight fast the high speed maneuverability really shines.

agreed

I've been poking my head online again, and that map is one of the better match ups. I like that map from beginning to end.
Other than that, not much has changed, and it appears to be the same cast of characters.

Could you do what this guy describes with the il-2 mustang, he does say he got hits on the 109.

He said he hit the 109 on the wings and fuselage. We don't know how much damage those hits did or if the pilot may have been wounded.

Also, once while flying an SE5 in a WWI sim, I won a turn fight against a Sopwith Camel. That should not have been possible, but the Camel driver was new and didn't know what his airplane was capable of.

No my bi-plane was on the axis side and the P51 and the F4U where alleid, no TK´s there, but I will admit it took a bit, and I used a boom and zoom taktik to get those two planes. Also if you take a close look that P51 is quite a bit from shore still, I don´t know why he started lowering his landing gear that far out at sea.

Here another one chasing a F4U with a P11, that took a while but I got him in the end.




Here by the way the landing gear was still up on that P51:

and you don´t get this if you are hitting friendly: it says in German No.1 target destroyed

Online nOObs are easy prey....
