Please buff Rolands vs WW2 props

6.0 props fighting 7.0 jets are at a huge advantage.
They are using sturdy, tried WW2 tech, against the unreliable, fuel guzzling glorified lawn darts.
Props, while being so superior, can also try to ambush/strafe jets on the forward airfield.

I’ve been killed by Rolands in Ta-152H over the forward airfield.
I consider this the pinnacle of WW2 air combat, as Roland was as iconic to WW2 as KV-1 or Kalashnikov’s copy of Cobray Street Sweeper - the dreaded AKM-47 bolt action revolver.

But I’m kind of worried, as sometimes I manage to dodge the Roland quite easily at around 10km. And this is absolutely anticlimatic. My immersion is ruined.
I want every Roland encounter, no matter the range, to make me pull and yank my flying stick rapidly with both hands.

Lets properly recreate the great air battles of WW2 - 73 Easting and Tzushima! Lets increase its range, so it can hit props while they are taking off - just like George Washington predicted in his famous “I have a dream” speech.

Now, in all seriousness, who the hell thought we need 1977 SAM to defend the airfields housing WW2 props and mid to late 1940s jets?

I lured 5 dummies into getting kill by Rolands yesterday in my F-117 in ARB. A blind hunt was on me (I was second to last alive). If five ~8.7 jets in a row can get fukt by Rolands, then I don’t think a buff is in need.

I am not really sure if you are not overestimating the ability of the average forum user to detect sarcasm & irony. At least one of them proved that short hints like “Sarcasm off” might be not a bad idea.

Even as I had the pleasure to get killed in a 262 by Rolands when i caught a F-89 D (another classic WW 2 jet) with his pants down i am quite sure that the “I have a dream” speech was performed by MLK jr.

I would therefore cite JC who said around 2.000 years ago something similar like: “If your left wing got hit by a Roland - offer him the right one too”.

You missed the point.
The point is, the same Roland is firing at 6.0 props.

Sarcasm is the use of words that mean the opposite of what you really want to say, especially in order to insult someone, or to show irritation, or just to be funny12345. It generally takes the form of an ironic remark, somewhat rooted in humor, that is intended to mock or satirize something5. When a speaker is being sarcastic, they are saying something different than what they actually mean5.
