    Agreed. :cheers: Not sure if the devs should delay the next release for that though, unless it's obvious.

    I think it has some to do with where it starts on the CV deck...aircraft should start from further back on the ship.

    DB 605 B is DB 605 A with gear ratio changed from 1:1.685 to 1:1.875, specially for sloow 110.
    same with DB 601 A-1/B-1; DB 601 N/P; DB 601 E/F/G*; DB 605 AM/BM

    But, that's only for the P-38J right? This was only a test on a J variant.

    So, it is listed with 1180 HP and performs as well as the 1380 HP engines. And the 110G2 is more heavy. That was my confusion.
    BTW...I performed some testing with boa the other night and the 110G2 climbs with a dead engine as well as the beta P-38G.

    Is it a bad thing that I want to get inside her more than I want to get inside a supermodel/various other type of hot chick? :UU:

    I wonder if ALW knows that his p38 uberness crusade only impacts axis vs allies arenas and that he will end up getting shot down in the dueling arena by his own favorite plane piloted by a better pilot?
