---== UPDATE FL2068: ROLLING OVER RUSSIA ==---
By: Robert, Grumpy & Bollok.
All made possible by: Bcamel (creator of the program used to model the airplanes), and Idunno (who has shared a vast amount of aerodynamical knowledge).
--= Lavochkin series =--
The Lav's all have had their roll rate improved. According to German tests of a captured La-5, the Lavochkin could outroll the Bf 109. The Lavochkin flightmodels were currently way to sluggish in the roll and have now been set so that they can outroll the Bf 109. This change applies to the La-5F, La-5FN, La-7 & La-7-3.
--= Yakovlev series =--
The Yak's were also found to have a to sluggish roll rate. The Yak-3 can now roll fairly evenly with the Bf 109, while the Yak-9D and Yak-9U roll somewhat slower than the Yak-3 since they are larger and heavier. They all roll much better now than before though.
--= Fw 190 series =--
All Fw 190's have had their roll rate slightly improved to better match ww2 trial data. The Fw 190's with four cannons in the wings now also roll slower than the versions with only two cannons in the wings.
--= Bf 109 series =--
Further fine-tuning of the elevator authority with increasing airspeed. At neutral elevator trim the Bf 109's can now on average pull 5.5+ G's at 300 mph, and 2.8 G's at 400 mph. This varies slightly between the Bf 109 versions depending on weight and model.
