    Well, i.e. the Hurricane was quite inferior to the 109E/4, nevertheless, it shot down hundreds of them.So, itâ´s possible: an inferior plane being dangerous to a superior one.Itâ´s a question also of knowing how to take advantage of its pros. And I find the P40E a bit superior to the Hurricane in terms of firepower, acceleration and climbing rate. I would not be suprise of a P40 shooting down an early 109...but not a late version...

    Nice one. I like the 109.

    Five might be too generous; in fact, I was leaning toward 4.

    That wasn't nice, I'm sorry.

    cueceleches has hit the nail on the head me thinks. 109 jocks will have to rely more on climb rate to beat there opponents.

    As for the P-40 and emil, I think there both pretty close in turn ability at lower altitude. However, if you drag the P-40 to med or high alt, the 109 should have the advantage.

    Actually Smoky.. it isnt the patch... or the 109... it's just you. So suck it up and give it a few weeks... or dont fly 4.02.... but save the crying for someone who cares because it wont change unless you take it off your drive.

    I completely agree that the whining is over the top and is absolutely pointless; as is the pseudo-cussing out of Oleg. That being said, everytime a new patch comes out and someone has any questions (whether they're trolling or not) that person is told that he/she will "have to re-learn how to fly their favorite plane". That's my only gripe with the patches. I finally got a grip on 4.02 last night, but I'd like to be able to apply a patch and not have to re-learn how to fly a certain plane.
