The question has been raised lately about the expert mod for HSFX. I am putting this info here, instead of in Drydock, because it is IL2 specific.
This is a copy and paste of info provided by Hoss over at the freeil2modding forums.
----------------------------------------------------
The Expert mode is for advanced flight models for
B-17D-G
B-24J
B-29
BF109E-F-G-K
F4F-3,-4
F4U1 through D (included clipped variant)
F6F-3 and -5
F9F
F84G
F-86A-F
FW190A-F-D
G-50
G-55
MC200
MC202
MC205
MiG-15
MiG-17
P-38F-G-H-J-L
P47D-10 through D-27Late
P51A-B-C-D
P-61A (early), A and B
Ta152H-C
Fw200C3U4
Me323
P-80/F-80 A
P-80 C
In 'Expert' mode only, ships with turrets with multiple guns now also have multiple fire hooks. So for
example, a triple turret will actually fire three times from individual barrels.
The corresponding Rate of Fire parameter of all guns has also been tripled (so it tends to reduce
the load, as many turrets are double or single). This reflects capital ship fire-power much more
directly in the game and creates more historical results in surface engagements.
Destroyers and cruisers get the most relative benefit from this. Battleships are more accurately
represented relative to each other also.
If you feel like testing this out I suggest setting up an engagement between some IJN and US
Destroyers, and watching the action in stock and then HSFX 'Expert' mode.

Understanding that, and since Centerline had to leave a Raiders squad mission just a
week or so ago, and we have others who's PC's are not super-computers, we should really hold off on using the Expert mod.
There is no way that even a "middle of the road" performance PC would be able to keep up with that.
Just thought you should all know.
