What kind of custom skin have people used for dishonest play?  Like red star on Bf109? Or some color making the plane impossible to see? 

Just wondering, did you crash or die? Sometimes IL2 will not crash even after being rammed by Bf109. 

I completely agree, the imbalance of the game is getting worse and worse.  This gives people from Western countries wrong impression (I see more than once chat message in game associating the Allied/Soviet wins to the fact the server is hosted in Russia).  

I always play German only because the propellers turn clockwise same direction as the plane I fly in real world (as most general aviation planes at least in USA like Cessna, Cirrus, etc...) and I want to feel the same way in game as in real world. 

Now people like me enjoy the server less because of the imbalance. As fewer and fewer players play German side, it will be less enjoyable for Allied player as well, because the server turns into ground attack co-op server. 

There are a number of easy ways to remedy this:

1. Reduce the number of red objectives. 

2. Reduce the upgrades (like larger caliber guns) available to Russian planes

3. Allow Fw190-A3 in more maps because it is both a ground attack and dog fighter unlike A5 or A8 that stands a chance against Russian fighters, to encourage Axis player to do more ground attack. 

You can look at the Combat box server. They always have A3 when G6 or G14 is available.  But in Wings server a lot of times even when G14 is available A3 is not made available. It is like forcing Axis side to only fly fighter and do no ground attack at all, which is the main reason Allied almost always wins in Wings server. 

It looks like the game itself already counting the kill if the player disconnects after getting damaged. 

It is now only the matter the server pilot ranking algorithm be updated to count the kill in such cases. 

What do you think of reducing the number of objectives when few (less than 50) people are on the server? 

Generally I think Yak7 Lag FN is superior to 109F4, G, 190A3 in terms of low altitude turning fight. The FN has larger horse power, and 2x20mm canon as standard.  When P51 comes out the Allied will have even better airplanes, 109K and Dora needs to be available for game balance.
