Looks like Nineline doesn't have the whole picture though, and is trying to get it for us.

And while the DM isn't, apparently the new cooling dynamics are coming with the A8 as well! Cooling overhauls will come along to other warbirds with time.

I do not regret my purchase

 

I've spent some time with the Anton now, and I like it. It handles nicely and has incredible firepower. And it's not slow: After a failed sneak attack on a P-51D AI (I didn't realize I had to remove the saftey latch for firing the cannons) I managed to run away, and when he gave up and turned away, I sneaked up on him again and...

I haven't tried any BnZ tactics in the Anton yet. I've had a tango with a Mustang on the deck twice. Brought them into a scissors with me, and my first fight came at a tie, but my second had me snap-rolling into the water.

 

Feels like I lose engine power the slower I get. RPMs drop. I know it's trying to claw for more air, and pitches the blades more, resulting in slower RPM. But I wonder if I manually keep the blades from pitching too much at low speeds, I might be able to keep my speed better...

maby rpm drops becous high AOA not low speed

as i last fly a-8 it can with no probelm maintain max rpm at very low speeds

unless you are not flying at auto prop

oh key bindigns for prop manual/auto are swaped places

i thin they changed something alredy becouse Dora's oil temp is not rising that fast as used to be after turning mw50 on and i maby wrong about it but spits's oil tem rising a little faster after cold star before this patch it take me some time to hit 40C on oil now it feels quickier.

but it could be my impression only
