Why are the me109f4 in bos is so OP


Recommended Posts

We are all familiar with this "famous" graph. But is it real? Does anyone have the Test report about this me109f4? I want the altitude vs.TAS graph......

OP?

 

Why are all aircraft in this game overmodeled?

 

Well... Except for that one with the ones and the nineties...

Sir, the planes in the game don't behave according to this graph.

Go on the Developer Diary and look for DD126 I think. It contains flight test data for the game at different altitudes.

I think the Luftwaffe aircraft are pretty damn close actually, in regard to speed.

The 190 though my lord lol.

Close. It's 123.

Lucas, do you know if anyone ever put this into a graph of some kind? Might be something I do if I get bored :)

I don't think anyone's done it in full, so go ahead by all means! It would be nice to have the DD123 information as easily accessible graphs.

 

Someone put together a program in the vein of Il2Compare, but that isn't as practical for someone casually browsing :)

Well current it's overperforming at high speed, it also has great turning capability, much more so than the G2, and I'm not sure if it's because the slats on the f4 bleed too little speed or the G2's slats bleed too much speed.

What exactly does low alt high alt mean?

Are you trying to tell me the FW is the fastest plane at all heights?

I think it's everything below 2000 meter.

See my post for the specifics but yes, the Fw-190 seems to be the fastest across the board, thanks Wicher.

 

It would be nice to have the graph translated into one like the first post's - maximum speed by height.

Speed is a thing, but turn characteristics are also to be looked at. 

 

2 days ago, with a buddy we tryed to go on BERLOGA for some quick dogfight. Witrh our yaks we couldn't match the 109, even when they had their pods... We fly almost only on yaks, so we know this plane!

 

SO, I tried to fly a 109f4, after 10 flights with only 1 assist in my beloved yak, I had 2 kills and 2 assists in 1 sortie wirth the 109!

The more impressive was the angle in the roll I could take to turn. I put the plane 90° on the right, pull the joystick hard, I blackout, my plane is not even shaking! Like it would never stall. The same maneuver with any russian plane and I was done, a hole in the ground!

 

I don't know if it's historical. But the thing is that I never fly this plane, and in the same scenario as with the yak that is a plane that I know well, I could achieve far more in less time.

 

Anyone with stats on turn time and how pods are degrading this?

 

Thanks!

Maybe on the paper. In reality (in arcade i should rather say) no matter the height in a rotte with F4 while flying an FW youre ALWAYS behind when all fly continuous power.

All speeds for the Fw-190 are in emergency power, while the Bf-109F-4 ones are in combat. Nominal is yet a different story, no need to get dramatic :)

Incredible :biggrin:

 

So, empirically we can deduce that both Bf-109F-4 and LaGG-3 are OP über rides? :P

This looks more like K-4 than F-4 lol.

 

That being said, there is a curve for an F-4 for Notleistung (Emergency 1,42ata) from Rechlin flight trials (no testing details available though) which gives 670 km/h top speed at the said rating. This should be available in the sim as well, since that rating was cleared at the end of 1941 already... and I very much doubt it was a one-minute-then-engine-failure rating. ;)

 

For Combat (1,3ata) rating there are several conflicting figures, one is that's been posted by L3Pl4K already, which comes from flight trials and are at 1.3ata, but the results are rather high and odd at 660 km/h. Not impossible, but definietely on the high side. Perhaps the tested plane was exceptionally good or some correction like compressibility reduction was not made, because at lower levels its similar to the others, which mostly go around at 635 km/h at altitude (including Messerschmitt's own calculations for the type). The Russians also got similar results from captured examples IIRC.

 

Now as for the F-4 being OP, it was pretty much OP in RL too, and late versions in 1942 were quite similar to the G-2 in most respects.

Gentlemen, I ran a couple of tests a few weeks ago to check the graph in the first post. My conditions were: 55% fuel (about 5% were used to get to the top speed), armed, level flight at the ground level (300 m). As I fly LW planes mostly, I had flown VVS planes to check engine settings, radiators, etc. These were the best results I got, autumn/winter. 
AUTUMN:

There was a little mistake in Fw190 in autumn as flew it with 1.3, not 1.32, so it could be a tiny better. In LW planes rads were on auto. 

My opinion: The planes should go in order, according to Devs, such as Lucas wrote above. In my opinion, the game does not reflect that, especially in winter is the list completely wrong (I mean the order of planes according to their speed). I know I should have tested it with 100% but nobody flies with that amount in real MP combat. I wanted to get "real" values I encounter in MP and this actually corresponds with my "feelings" (which I know could be wrong). In Autumn it looks good, I got about what I should have (I am not a master in VVS, so some might sqeez more out of the mig). Bf-109 G2 should be a little faster than YAK (according to devs) in the game (under the same conditions) but it is significantly slower in winter.

I made the graph in the OP around two years ago during the BoS beta and it was on the Winter map. It's no longer valid for the current version and it never has been valid for anything but the -15°C back then.

Nope. I've revised my conclusion since I wrote the post on our forum. I am back to believing there is no Russian bias in BoS.....but there is the little matter of this that might have had something to do with what I described:

BTW Blackhead....I thought you said you just "ran across" my video and decided to challenge me? But based on your post...its kinda easy to see you lied about that as well. Both your credibility and character are really shining at this point.

Could have been it, I usually stay away from Wings of Liberty so thankfully I didn't come across such types. Nothing personal, I just always find the 'bias' talk entertaining ever since the old Il-2 because in the end everyone thinks the 'other side' has an unfair advantage and so on. When that's happening it's usually a sign things are on the right track. In DCS the English-speaking community thinks the AMRAAM performs poorly and the Russian-speaking community believes it performs too well. :biggrin:

Agreed and that's why I don't normally consider it (even for more infamous examples like War Thunder). What happened to me in that one situation was so out of whack I jumped off the deep end.

 

And I admit there is another explanation... it could have been my unfamiliarity with the 109 in BoS. I am still relatively new to the sim. :/

 

That said, I do enjoy it! No sim is perfect or ever will be....but this one is a lot of fun. o7

 

 

 

BTW....from the YouTube videos I watch the AAMRAM in DCS seems to work just fine. :D

I challenged you because I want to check your skill.

Some time ago I was trying to find a oponent to train 1vs1 in CloD and was looking for a good pilots on ATAG forum.

What I only found there was [edited] guys without guts. Some ATAG & AKA members.

[edited]

Funniest part was when some of them were trying to scary me off talking about their "local" aces.

And what ?

 

Nothing happened. I wanted to fight against guys who have more experience in that game than I and they didnt even had courage to stand against me.

 

Only Kling fought with me ( S! to him for the duels ).

Rest of the them participated in that discussion were [edited]

Thats why I dont have any respect to ATAG & AKA team.

 

If you say something you do something.

Thats how men do.

So...You act and probably think about yourself as a "killer" so thats why I want to have your "head" in my collection.

I installed the CloD and I`m ready for the duel. :biggrin:
