I could do without fighting the rudder! I played a quick session this morning and started with my Fw-190 D-13. I was really surprised by the fact that the rudder on the 190 just… works?
For example, it’s a real shame that they removed the wing breakage caused by G-forces. A few years ago, when you made a sharp turn with a plane, it could lose its wings, but now it’s impossible for that to happen. Another thing that negatively affects the Americans, since they have the greatest structural resistance.

They did not, it is simply on a timer so that wings don’t snap instantly if you exceed the G limit (or the server thinks you did).
They do not.
Hate the D30 with a passion. It’s such trash, the stats are completely fake with this, it doesn’t even have speed and will get run down by 109G6 at alt which is completely ridiculous. I remember this precisely happening in the very last match I had in it, WEPing for 5 min and not being able to outrun a G6 at alt. P51C and P51H are amazing though. Never really flown the D5 or D20.

This post is peak comedy. The p51-d30 has superior power to weight at every altitude over the d20. Whatever you tested you did it wrong.

You were outaccelerated and he started at a higher speed than you.
Nope. Both at 5k. I ran for 5 min and he was slowly closing in. That’s basically every match in this POS plane. Take a pass then run for 5 min since the speed advantage is so tiny or doesn’t exist. Stat cards are wrong.
What are you referring to
You’re coming off like you have a massive skill issue at the moment.
USA air was rarely scrambling in ww2. They were usually at combat altitude about an hour before they had to be.
Coming from you this is ironic

yea but you guys were late to the war so it doesnt matter
the main air battle of the war had scrambles.
You’re the same guy who said this lol
Goalpost moving, see:
no its just that american tactics were much less hands on to the ones that were actually there from day one.
bomber escorting isnt figher battles, which is what air RB is all about now we dont have mission scenarios
ok but your original comment was:
and it was in reply to:
so we’re still on the subject of you saying “No, USA planes didn’t teleport, they scrambled” and me saying “USA planes rarely scrambled”.
@Negativewaves - the 109 is a tough matchup for the Mustang because the speed advantage is so slight. In my experience, 109 pilots have a tendency to just doggedly follow you around. Forcing a merge is useful because they will (almost) ALWAYS flip a 180 for you - and this usually cancels out their acceleration advantage because of the speed it costs.
The Mustang has an instantaneous turn happy place between 450 and 775 kph while the 109 compresses hard above ~620 or so. Limited opportunity to convert speed into position in that window, the trick being you obviously cannot sustain those speeds (nor your pilot the G load).
Post server replays, I wanna see what’s happening
The P51s (and a lot of US prop fighters) in general don’t have bad performance just really boring performance, most of their advantageous scenarios require ages to set up properly.
