>take off, plane feels surprisingly responsive
>flight model has lots of inertia, but she turns better than in the last patch and the wing flutter translates prominently to the stick, which makes avoiding spins easier than it has ever been
>fly over Königsberg, the graphics look fucking amazing
>Königsberg castle, the cathedral, individual roads and all have been recreated to an autistic degree
>there's even people walking in the streets and kids looking at my plane
>check the ingame map and fly north along the coast looking for any ships, they supposedly integrated those into EC in the patchnotes right

>realize I have a 500kg bomb equipped, ah yes I did intend to bomb some ships
>maybe I can blow up a destroyer or something before my fuel runs out

>wonder if can kill it with this bomb, also where's the usual laser flak greeting? Did they nerf it this time?
>carrier pops up in fog, drop bomb

>see black smoke emanating from the flat cloud cover behind me, seems like it werked
>the gunner on the nip biplane seems like he wants me to follow
>follow the biplane for a bit
