Ha... the good old days! Kuban, the bridgehead, the Crimea... great maps, great battles!

 

 

Probably wrong, but wasn't that technically the "Kerch" map? We (TP) used it as a BoB channel map.  Endless half-hours of DF fun before launching a coop or an "ops" coop mission... Sigh!

Yes, the proper Kuban map had the large lake to the east of Krasnodar if I remember right... I still have a multitude of maps tucked away somewhere.

I printed them all off and covered them in plastic sheets so I could mark waypoints and wipe them off again.

Had a great time on that map. Actually what is shown there is a mod/later patch where the Crimea and Kuban maps were merged together. Prior to that they overlapped but were smaller.

 

I don't think we're getting quite everything listed there. This is what the devs gave us as a reference.

The Crimea + Kuban map was a modded merged map indeed.

 

By the way, the default Kuban map got a nice make over too.

We have corrected number of turns for 109s stabilizers and now there are 6 turns from end to end for any Bf-109.

So, 15 / 6  = 2.5 sec per turn. This speed is the same like for the flaps.

This is from RAF Bf-109E handling test; ..

The Bf-109E In accordance with RAF test, the stabilizer total range is 11.8 degrees (+3.4 to -8.4 degrees), for 5.75 turns from end to end.

This means 11.8/5.75 = 2.05 degrees per turn.

 

 

The The Bf-109 "G" series have 8 degrees of stabilizer travel, (from -6º to +2º), with same aprox. 2.05 degrees per turn.

This means  8/2.05 = 3.9 turns from end to end.

Upon being discovered in woodland by Soviet Partizans, very very badly hung-over and concussed with a bullet graze to the back of the head:

 

"Can you send Spitfire? Time is going by really really really slow and I think we're dead..."

 

Suspected of attempting to defect, the English aviator was returned to his crash site, where the partizans inspected his fallen LaGG-3; eventually counting over 200 bullet and shell holes once the location of the severed wing was discovered.

Amazing news and excellent work in the skins.

Regarding the accelerated stall on the 190: Do the changes mentioned mean it will get worse? It feels pretty good at the moment.
