So true. This aircraft was really obsolescent, true, but sure could do better than it can do in the sim. It's probably the *only one* fighter which is *really* porked in the game, but not being a star -not even a secondary role- nobody has given a cr*p about it.

Just try and pursue a Stuka, and shoot it down. Just like they did in the first day of WW2 -the first aerial victory in WW2. You won't be able even to track and follow it.

But, we were so obsessed with our Gustavs, our Ponys and our Doras, we never worried about having it fixed.

I hope that, if they finally make a Poland campign for SoW, they will be more accurately represented. The PZL was a more decent, capable airplane than we have, only just had to fight the mightiest and better trained tactical air power in 1939, and still did a honorable and reasonably successful task given the circumstances, before being destroyed in the ground or overwhelmed by both numbers and quality of the LW. It deserves better.

When it was introduced it was one of the best fighters in the world.

The Romanians thought it good enough to copy virtually the entire rear fuselage for their IAR series fighters.

It is seriously undermodeled.

I will agree that this poll is in the wrong forum. Take all your high-falutin' ww2 and plane talk over to general discussion. This here forum is for talking about aliens, boobies, african dilemmas, george carlin, the history channel and leather jackets.

Right on, Huggy

Spam!!!!

I'm moving it to GD.
