I get that the Hurri wasn’t the fastest fighter, but it still had a nominal top speed a lot higher then the Il-2.
In the game the Hurricane struggles to get to 330 kph in level flight, the Il-2 gets to 350 without much bother - both with their external loads of rockets.
In addition to being slower it has a FM bug where it won’t dive on a target first time you point it at hte ground - I reported that when Stalingrad came out but still hasn’t’ been fixed
I can recommend the British gold order hurricane, it has it all!
Slow, gets out of control after first spawn AND stops firing because ‘‘out of ammo’’ with 700 rounds left
Given the Enlisted game mechanisms it seems pretty bad - hitting things with relatively slow firing cannon seems much less effective in ground attack than rockets and bombs.
Might want to invest in a time machine, go to interwar period and demand Hawker fix their shit plane. It’s literally it’s characteristic. It’s wings are made out of sticks and potato sacks, when you overspeed it, the canvas bulges out at the top of the wing and increases lift, overpowering the elevator.
It only really starts happening well past 400, so all you need to do is throttle down to idle and maybe burn some speed by turning and rolling a bit. And not diving too steep
And that’s why it happens only once usually, you start high and fast and just overspeed, then never recover back to same energy state. If you take time to climb back to same altitude and speed and dive again it will happen again
It’s like saying the Boston ripping after you go close to 600 and try to pull 10G is a bug
Thank you for these - this “feature” is clearly wrong, and needs to be looked at again - I’ll raise another bug report giving the references we have found.
It means nothing since speeds/engine powers are artificially lowered. Meaning, this “feature” is happening on adequately lower speed as well.
I still think this plane is basically unusable because of it. And I don’t know a single reason why this “hyper realistic feature” exist at all. It does just cripple the already pretty mediocre plane, lol.
