This is not meant to be a nuke - but the effect is going to be the same ;) No offense Nik - I appreciate your effort to do the tests and post the results!
The above results are appalling. If this is meant to be an indication of how much plane type counts vs how little pilot experience counts I will not purchase the game (and I can guarantee you that 90% of my long time PBEM opponents won't buy the game either). It is that simple.
In UV Zero pilots with exp 10 don't last 1 flight - in combat or not. Most of them die in training where the idea is to maximise their survival. A zero group with 99 exp should MURDER the green pilots, not the other way around. It probably wouldn't matter if the green pilots were flying F-15s - an experience dpilot would shoot at them, the green pilot would yank the stick, stomp on the rudder, go into a stall or a flat spin and slam into the ground AND DIE!!!!!!! There are even more ways to kill yourself flying an F15 than there are in a P51.
Basic things like not checking your six, misjudging power dives and hitting the ground, overshooting, plain getting lost and colliding with friendly aircraft when given the order to break ALL happen to green pilots. Look at the battle of britain - which were the pilots that bought it? Usually the green ones. Probably had higher exp than exp 10 too! Exp 10 can barely land the plane, so how can they manage the complicated hand eye co ordination/ deflection shooting and timing required to shoot down a highly manouvreable zero - much less fly themselves into a position that the zero is in their sights anyway? Exp 10 pilots shouldn't even be able to fly in formation.
I'm sure most people will agree what a completely bullshit result this is. I hope the formulas will be changed to balance them out - making pilot experience more important, or at least as important, as plane type.
