Wow m8 i have never been in such an unbalanced server as that, yes they have fucked up with the server balancing big time, i have started going back and replacing most of my planes with level 1-2-3's etc but highest maybe a level 5 or 6 and always end up against level 7-8 or 9 planes, it's hard work sometimes when you have couple of level 1 bi planes too, level 15 upwards you must be flying against jets surely?...do what me and Stang have done m8 and go backwards you get many more kills and enjoy the game better, some of these so called weaker planes are not so weak and it is a lot easier to get on the tail of the stronger faster planes and they cannot shake you off. Also a Bf 109 should not really be able to shake a Spitfire off it's tail, the Spitfires turn around speed is much shorter then a BF109.
Yes that's it mate and yes I have been up against meteors and such and had my ass handed to me on a plate lol and my highest ranked plane is a level 10 spitfire.
But I will take your advice and go backwards to bi planes lol
