anche questo interessante per noi!

  • AI Aircraft. When a bomber that is part of Big Formations is damaged, and can no longer keep up with the formation, the whole formation slows to allow them to catch up. Now the leader will ignore such wingmen.

forse le formazioni di bomber ai faranno meno casino!!!

The cooling system adjustment scares me a little. I haven’t had problems with it up to now, as long as I don’t let it get too slow when climbing…

from what i’ve heard, now 51 does a lot more damage and pilot kills are much easier on all planes, RedMagic has reaserched the materials needed and found that ED devs just took the mustang plate, misread the schematics and made it over double the thickness, and then just copy pasted that to all planes

This sounds interesting, it could make differences and (our) disadvantages less pronounced

109 is much easier to kill now so @EAF51_Havebug will be happy
