An entry level video on decision making and tactical intuition

All that is possible because of the diving capabilities of the Yak in the game. It is a stable gunnery platform up to 600. If a real Yak reaches 600 indicated speed he probably would start loosing parts pretty soon.

Watches a video where the Yak explicitly makes a slower, more gradual dive in order to keep its speed down, eventually catching the 109 that's sitting on the deck, "You only won because the Yak dives way too good".

 

Ok.

[JG27*Kornezov]

Yeah OK

I am no aerodynamic engineer, but a plane that can cruise at 515 im sure would not break apart at 600. If you want to talk about what is and isn't possible, the controls of a real 109 would be far too heavy for a real pilot to pull out of the dive he performed unless he started shortly after he dove.

Do you make a difference between true air speed and indicated air speed? In my post I talked about indicated air speed. Even at at 2000 m there is difference. According to yak 3 instructions pilots should not exceed 650. And here in the video you talk about 700, and 700 is a pretty safe speed in game. I may be biased but there is some truth in that.

Even if it stated 850 109 pilots never get close to 800, the plane does not go above 700, a lot of drag?!.

It's all the same. You're argument takes issue with the Yak-1B, but the 109 is no different. This is not a study sim and flexibility in realism is necessary. Every plane in the sim is capable of doing things it's real life counterpart was not. The i16 is in no way a representation of it's real life plane; it's controls were said to be so heavy it was hard for pilots of smaller stature to fly it. Even if it's true the Yak-1B is capable of going faster than it could in real life, so does the BF109. As I said, it's not realistic that my opponent charged toward the deck face first and pulled out at like 500m either.

 

He benefited from a lack of realism as well.

This is what I am telling too. It is done so, as to make a more interesting and challenging gameplay. If 109 could all the time dive and escape it would not be interesting. It is a a FM after all.

 

However on the other hand others think that even if it is not a study sim it has to be as close to the real life as possible.

 

Others think that what happens is what really was realistic in real life and 109s are not supposed to outdive the yaks. Others are opposed to that opinion.

So anybody can have his opinion. And the debeate will last as long this game lasts.
