-TBC-AeroAce Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 What do people think? My question is how it compares to the F and G?
II/JG17_HerrMurf Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Torque is vicious on touchdown. Don't chop the throttle or you will veer off the runway rather quickly. Otherwise (two flights worth of data so far) it is a less powerful 109 for the most part. After writing that, I realize I did not check to see if the tailwheel lock was engaged. The torque effect was very sudden nonetheless.
9./JG27DavidRed Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 i absolutely love it! its a yak killer.
-TBC-AeroAce Posted October 27, 2015 Author Posted October 27, 2015 Care to elaborate lol? I might be wrong about this but in old il2 I always flew and was more successful with the early 109s because they seems lighter and more manuverable. Does that ring through
II/JG17_HerrMurf Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Checked the tailwheel lock. It was engaged. Keep a little throttle on after touchdown to keep her straight in the rollout.
Matt Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Well, it's obviously worse in everything and it also doesn't have automatic radiator/oil cooler, so it's also a bit harder to operate. I did not notice a huge difference in ground handling between the E-7 and the other 109. Maybe it needs a bit more rudder during take-off, but landing feels about the same. I got the impression, that it rolls a bit faster than the F and G, but i could be wrong about that. The E-7 has an armor plating unlock, which might come in handy during ground attack, but i've not tested how effective that is. That's the only possible advantage i could think of. I think it's also bit less capable than the Mc.202 as a fighter. Overall, it's just a 109 with a weaker engine and different armament. But it's definately a lot of fun to fly.

I might be wrong about this but in old il2 I always flew and was more successful with the early 109s because they seems lighter and more manuverable. Does that ring through well...the f4 or g2s are yak killers as well if flown correctly...and with practice you can even turn and outturn the yak with flaps...but the e7 is a totally different beast in slow turns. the yak flaps are their worst enemies now...as long as they dont understand this, the e7 is lovely to outturn them...you have to be carefull...you are much slower and climb worse...in a shallow dive you seem to be able to extend though....all this is of course only from like half an hour experience. 1
-TBC-AeroAce Posted October 27, 2015 Author Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) Lol loving the half hour caveat!!! So it seems it does have some good qualities. I'm bloody stuck 10mins from my house due to a broken train signal!!!! God don't want me playing Bos atm Edited October 27, 2015 by [TBC]AeroACE
9./JG27DavidRed Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) it definitely has some good qualities....yesterday i didnt even think about pre-ordering BOM...today i was like..."but its a 109,...so well, lets give it a try"....now its my new favorite plane in BOS/BOM. oh...i totally forgot to mention the 20mm cannons.....yak killer Edited October 27, 2015 by 9./JG27DavidRed
EAF19_Marsh Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Is the radiator manual? Cannot seem to get it to function...
-TBC-AeroAce Posted October 27, 2015 Author Posted October 27, 2015 DOWNLOADING!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cant wait to try her out!!!! Will report back!!!!!!!!!!
Bullets Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Slight potential bug with the E7? It can fly upside-down without the engine failing, is that correct?
II./JG53Lutzow_z06z33 Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) Slight potential bug with the E7? It can fly upside-down without the engine failing, is that correct?Yea the 109s were fuel injected unlike the early spits and hurris so they don't suffer from fuel starvation at less than 1g Edited October 28, 2015 by OCTz06z33
Willy__ Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Yea the 109s were fuel injected unlike the early spits and hurris so they don't suffer from fuel starvation at less than 1g Thats not what he meant. All planes in BoS should cut the engine if flown extended periods of time while upside down, its not carburator related. Anyways, they must have missed the feature on the E7 ?
Blitzen Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Can missions ( on the new maps) & skins be far behind?
Trinkof Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Awesome..... Except speed which is terrible.... At first it look like a' awesome yak killer, very pleasing to fly, until you realise it cannot escape
Alkyan Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 A yak killer ? Does She outrun yak? Out climb ?
Trinkof Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 A yak killer ? Does She outrun yak? Out climb ? Turns very very well, climb well too, good especially for summer map, where yak lost a lot due to overheating quickly. In winter, where the yak does not overheat, I guess the e7 us a coffin
Reflected Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Feels a lot like the 109 E in that other sim, only less scripted, more natural
SR-F_Winger Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 The radiators have to be operated manually i noticed. Isnt the §E7 supposed to have autoradiator with OTIONAL manual mode? Yet any experiences on enginemanagement? Combat mode - how long? Notleistung - how long? Etc.? Thanks!!!
Reflected Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 The radiators have to be operated manually i noticed. Isnt the §E7 supposed to have autoradiator with OTIONAL manual mode? I was wondering about that too... As for your 2nd question: Max continuous power: 1.18 ata Max combat power: 1.26 ata, ~30 minute limit Max emergency power: 1.40 ata, ~1 minute limit
EAF19_Marsh Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 I was wondering about that too... I have not sat down and tested it, but on my first flgiht they just seemed to stay closed. I hit my key to alternate automatic / manual but I think they seemed struck in auto (they opened after a while). My keys for 109 water radiator seem to do nowt...
Saurer Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) Radiators are only manuall, i think the automatic system was available from the F series. In game it uses the same controlls as the yak and lagg for oil and water radiator Edited October 28, 2015 by Saurer
Bullets Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 I am loving the E7. It is wonderful to fly and its very forgiving. I also don't feel like I'm using cheats when flying it online compared to using the F4 or G2 hehe

6./ZG26_5tuka Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Interesting opinioms considering the Yak was superiour to the whole Bf109 E-series. I guess some of them will change after some time getting used to it amd it probably willbe a rare sightin MP just like the Mc202 and P-40. I am loving the E7. It is wonderful to fly and its very forgiving. I also don't feel like I'm using cheats when flying it online compared to using the F4 or G2 hehe How does the G-2 feel like "cheating"? Performance tests showed it's one of the most accurate fighters in the game and (at least in winter) has a bunch of (questionable) deficies against the Yak and even La-5. 1

I am not saying its broken!!! I meant purely because performance wise especially higher up if you fly it properly you should be untouchable against anything the other side can throw at you!

In winter, where the yak does not overheat, I guess the e7 us a coffin Thanks. but about the out running, climbing? I'll run some tests when I have the chance.
Trinkof Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Thanks. but about the out running, climbing? I'll run some tests when I have the chance. Outruning, I do not think so, outclimbing probably ( mainly cause of the overheat of the yak, who cannot climb at full power in summer) I will run some test tonight, but the FM feel great, and very different fr F and G. The turning remind me of the FW, with that "clean airflow sound" when at corner speed, and using intensively the stabilizer seem to push it into very tight turn. Plane is also very stable, hen turning, again like the FW. It will probably be too slow to be really competitive as an air superiority fighter for BOS, but it feels... Good
