Depends, Woodlouse, depends.
Have you tried the recent 1% Bf109F-4 v. Spit V?
You're in for a challenge there. Grin

I can't say I have. Will do so though. But I don't like flying 109's, they're a bit sensitive.

If I want a bit of a challenge then I fly my Tempest against a Go229.

The GO 229 is an easier AI target than the 109.
Reason is that all AI targets use the similar flight profiles.  There is some variation.
These profiles are best for the 109 and poor for the 229.  The jet should be using speed and vertical to gain position on the Tempest.   Instead it's profile is low altitude and moderate climbing/descending turns.  It's turn radius is large due to speed.  The Tempest is quickly on the inside of the turn and it is just a matter of the number of turns to close and get hits.  Once hit, the 229 looses its speed advantage.
For spice:
Disable labels.  Leave Cone on.
Neutral only. Ace opponent.  Rookie AA.
Shoot down several.  Damage another.  At Blue base T&G, or full stop followed by TO to engage again. Set up engagements so that Blue base is always nearby.  When low on ammo final landing at Blue base.  Take care not to get bagged on final.

I find the opposite true. The 109 is easy meat for the Tempest. The Go229 however at least has a huge speed advantage. Its also not bad at turning either. I personally find the Go229 the hardest aircraft to shoot down while flying, with the only time you can get a shot in is when its just pulling out of a dive. I usually try to hit an engine in my first burst, which makes things much easier.

With Bf109's and Fw190's all you need to do is wait for them to climb, then zoom up behind them and blow them away, easy.

Also, CFS4, when and if it comes will be the pacific theatre, picking up from where we left off in CFS2. So 1943 onwards. So expect B29's, nukes, and Kamikazi. Grin

Tried 3US 51 vs 3Ger 262.
Kill in two turns.
Took four for 262 to impact.
What am I doing wrong?

PS: Tempest vs GO was the shit stock stuff.

Woodlouse, wherever you got that wisdon from, I wouldn't hold my breath for it Wink.
CFS4 is cancelled, there will be none.
If it comes it won't be the pacific.
Hence no info at E3.
If you want CFS4 write mail to MS asking for it.
do it now, don't wait until June Roll Eyes

I did say "if". The wisdom comes from common sense, being that CFS2 didn't end in 1945 but 1943. So it stands to reason that CFS4 will be from 1943 to 1947 like CFS3.

Also, Hagar spoke to someone from sim-outhouse who has/had a part in CFS4 and he says pretty much the same. Wink

Well, I don't think there are "officals" at the outhouse staff with insight to CFS developement as they have pretty much p****d off the Aces with some nasty anti-campaigns in the past, with the result that one certain Aces team member who posted fairly regularly at public boards has been shut up by management.
There is a certain individual over at SOH who has been pampered by a lowlife of the MS sales crowd sort of "Hey, great that you like our stuff", but that's about it.
Fact is, CFS4 hasn't been announced at E3, there is no beta testing whatsoever, MS is holding back finished CFS3 patches and new version of the terrain SDK,
CFS4, when it was still alive, was not supposed to be in the pacific.
They pulled the plug on CFS as they did on TS, just that it dies in all silence unless you and me send mail to MS regularly.

I don't understand what everyone's so upset about.  CFS3 is still rather new and Microsoft has a habit of not announcing simulators untill they're just about finished.

People feel like Microsoft has some sort of obligation towards them to make up for CFS3. Roll Eyes

So romantic 605. 

And then it kissed it / where the sea too would end is your lips weakly and palely / and its eyes become wet
the last kiss is so long here / the last kiss it remembers no longer Rammstein - fog

Heck, I must be an idiot then, I thought M$ would announce this year's titles at E3.
Forget all the rest I've been talking as it's basically just been told to me while I was asleep and on dope, and CFS3 is almost two years brand new, LOL.

Und dann hat er sie geküsst / Wo das meer zu ende ist
Ihre lippen schwach und blass / Und seine augen werden nass
Der letzte kuss ist so lang her / Der letzte kuss
Er erinnert sich nicht mehr
Rammstein - Nebel

And then he kissed her/ where the sea is at the end and her lips weak and pale/  and his eyes turn wet/ the last kiss is so long ago/the last kiss, he can't remember
