I am a 4.09 rebel and I had been complaining about the flight performance of the A7M2: it was really heavy and sluggish, had a maneuverability of an iron. It was nothing like the outstanding aircraft it really was back in 1944, especially given how impressed the Japanese were with its performance. First, I thought that if it was so "outstanding" as is was in this game, then maybe the Japanese were even lucky that it never became operational and that they got the N1K2-J instead. However, after the v.1.1 patch, slowly but steadily, the bird began to show some promise. However, after this latest patch (v.1.3 for my 4.09 game) the aircraft really began to demonstrate impressive performance: it really became lighter, turns a lot better (probably not as good as Zero or even Ki-43 yet, but a lot closer than before), climb rate increased dramatically, although, I would still increase it just a bit. Overall, a merely new aircraft in the old skin. Now I can really challenge both Hellcat and Corsair and even the 1943 Bf-109G-2/6 and the FW-190A-5/6. As for the 3D model some minor issues still need to be fixed: the landing gears are still crooked, also, the wing guns did not stick out that much. To conclude: many thanks to the people who did not spare their time and energy and created this new jewel of this great game and continue with the refinements in the form of updates and patches, both current and future.
