DCG Campaign: Stalingrad 1942

P.11 rules, be sures

Slow as hell but turns on a dime. 109 is faster, climbs better, dives better, has better weapons. In a 109 you'd fight it like you fight Zeros in a P38: DO NOT turn. You only turn when you pull lead, and extend when you can't keep the lead anymore. "Never turn more than 90 degrees with a Zero" was a P-38 pilot's guideline, and that also holds true with 109 vs. P.11. Keep the speed up, and there's no way he'll get his guns on you.

edit: Here's a couple of charts from Il2Compare. Treat them as a guideline, not the absolute truth.

Bf-109E4(blue) vs. P.11

Ju-87B(blue) vs. P11

Oh! this list is growing,better get the big machine out :rotfl::rotfl:

Oberon · 07-16-08, 02:22 PM

Aye, you'd better get the Luftwaffe to get some extra 109 parts in...

Wow that was fun. First sortie I ****ed up the landing at the end of a transfer flight and didn't get to take part in the fun when a bunch of Poles bounced the base. Second sortie we owned six P.11s, with me getting hits at several of them but downing only one. Not slowing down and taking it to the vertical seemed to do the trick as I wasn't even fired at let alone hit. Schroeder you got, what, three + one friendly? and Raptor got three? We're going to have two aces tomorrow

Yeah, I got 3 but managed to screw up the landing on both sorties

I will never, ever, underestimate a plane based on how outdated it looks again

Oh, and more spare parts would be nice, Mr. Göring
