Should not be such a problem in game.
Although certainly not easy (gunners).

But to do this IRL is bordering with epic since it must be vastly harder all things considered.

I remember when I read on how Finnish pilots dealt with VVS bombers... Blink pretty impressive. Thumbs Up

*SIGH*

The mirrors are all running at a snail's pace.

I started a download 5 hours ago and still have seven and a half to go.

Fokker: sweet plane to fly... very sweet (relatively stable). Got some punch in those pesky 7,62's for its time frame that is.

However... bad news is that the Fokker is going to be outmaneuvered by practically anything it encounters, plus outran by many. It also has controls noticeably locked on higher speed.

So it is easy to see that it isn't going to be a very popular plane online Smile .

For anti bomber actions it is more than good, I just shot down 8 VVS SB bombers (1938 year) with only two machine guns Big Grin .

So far I only briefly tested the Ki.43-1b against the Interceptor in QMB. First impression: the Interceptor matches everything the Ki can do and then some; it climbs like mad and turns as well as it climbs. Can't wait until it gets its own cockpit, this bird is going to gobble up the Ki.43s when it does!


The KNIL is dead. Long live the KNIL!

+1

To add... this thing'll probably gobble everything up to 1942 Mean Happy.

You probably need old mg_snd.dll and
mg_snd_sse.dll . That's known problem with some sound cards.




In the Beta version the sound DLL's were also incompatible with the older Athlon processors (Barton and earlier).

mmitch ... if you are using an older AMD Athlon processor you might want to try replacing those sound DLL's with the 4.08m version.

I really like a lot of the new features and aircraft which are real nice but it has the same old AI. Sad

This IMO should take precedence in any future patches.

Enemy that do lazy barrel rolls 25 ft off the deck and rise and dive in a foolish manner no fighter pilot would ever dream of doing need to be expunged from what is a pretty wonderful game in general otherwise. Angry Blue Guy

Lots and lots of people who own this game are "off-liners" and deserve to have a much better AI IMO.

In general except for that i am happy with the patch thou. Smile

I think they spiced up the fighter AI, it really seems like the planes loop around a lot more to evade you.

Have to agree on the AI. After flying the modded game for a while, going back to stock AI behaviour is quite a let down.

The Avia is a delight to fly. New best cr@p plane.

The secret jem, that no one is talking about is the MC 202 series VII, or whatever it is. The new cockpit configuration makes this a much better aeroplane to fly in combat.

It was interesting fighting the Re 2000 with a Tomahawk as well. In human hands it might be a decent aircraft.

Just downloading now, so I didn't tested it yet.
But if they really boosted the already tough, unrealistic (no blackouts for AI ...) and finally boring endless-looping escaping manoeuvres, they made the wrong decision. Frown

Recent AI MODS I know, at least V.17 (I didn't try newer versions), improved AI in a much more realistic and pleasant way, just giving a much more varied behaviour, in escaping techniques too.
IMHO, I don't think we need "more difficult to oppose" AI, we just need "more realistic i.e more human-like" AI.

I second that motion TWICE! The ai really does need a major realism tune-up. Sad

+1 Yes.... I'm just testing it, it seems that might be the better MC.200 variant in game... 3 has quite obstructed cockpit, 7 much better.

Reggiane might turn out to be a beast... it certainly has some nice chars. It may be only my (false) impression, but this fighter seems to do a good job in energy maneuvers (vertical).

What he meant is:

The worst performing aircraft in patch is Fokker followed by Avia.
I might just agree with him Veryhappy.

Doesn't matter how crappy it gets as long as I like it and it can take off (landing isn't necessary Mean Happy ).

Veryhappy

Are you kidding? Glomp

The Avia performs like a P-51! (just a little)

I think it was a modified Temptest, listen to the engine.

I think the Avia is a Modified Temptest. Smile
