Just a topic about what is yalls favorite aircraft in IL-2. I like the Spit 25 and the FW-190 1944. Of course there is the Me-262..................
I like flying the bombers. The Betty is nice to fly, same with the B-25 and HE-111 but my favorite would be the A-20. A nice medium bomber that one. You can handle her nice and she takes a pounding.
I love multiplayer in these things. I do my best to drop my payload and make it back to base but normally I get so shot up the best thing I can do is crash land. I've managed to do that with only one engine and no elevator control. All I could really do was strafe and use my flaps to correct my pitch on landing. Using the flaps was great as I had to keep throttling up to bring her nose up but I made it alive!
Lot's of fun those bombers.

I-153 M64:
Decent speed, very good agility and very nice rapid machine guns to kill pilots
BF109F4:
Very fast, good armament, very stable in diving.
SpitFireVIII:
Fast, turns really fast and is very stable good armament
FW190A5:
Good speed, not very agile thought but I mainly use it to take down bombers as the armament on the FW190 is very destructive.
BF110:
Good speed, not very agile, the acceleration speed is not really satisfying but once in the air on good cruising speed its terror for slow moving targets like IL2's and medium bombers. also a very good groundpounder. also a very stable.
B25:
Good speed, good defences by MG's on most angles
can carry a very good load out. and she can take a pounding and still make it back to base
JU88:
Strong engines, speed is good. Like that you can use it as a dive bomber as well. the defences are something to worry about when you fly without escorts. the load out it can carry is very good.
:up: thats my list
:hmm:
Probably the Spit, Hurricane, He-162, the 262 is nice but tends to catch fire on me a lot, there's a couple of others that I can't remember the name of at the moment. :up:
Well I like the little p40b, ''dunno'' what it is about it i seem to favour it when i go for an offline dogfight ;)

I like the Spitfire and the Yak-3.
Spit VIII. Apart from the toyplane I-153, Hunter & bunch have no changes against me. :p
@Panzer
You might want to scale down that sig of yours, IIRC, the size limit is 230 x 140 or something like that. Oh and welcome aboard! :up:

For me its the P40, P38 and the Hurricane.
I must be one of those oddballs whose favorite IL-2 plane has always been the IL-2 itself :p

And I recall that wars were fought with stick and stones back then too. :p :rotfl:
Favourite? The Arado Ar-234 Blitz!
The Cockpit is great and these Periscope-aimed MG151s in the rear are really nice.

Hmm... I like the KI-84, 109 (later versions), I-185, & Hurricane to some extent. Depends on the map, but those are my faves. The Spit and Zero are a bit too manouvrable for me, and the FW-190 is too stiff...:roll::cool:
Now how can plane be TOO maneuverable!? :doh:

Gosh, I haven't touched the Il2 series for well over a year if not longer even though I bought the 1946 pack. I guess I would have to say that my favourite would be the ME109F4 followed closely by the Il2 Sturm. :up:

I think Shift + F1 should make the gunsight centered.

Dowly fights better drunk. He's a Finn, remember?:()1:
And I really do believe you could kick my @r$e ATM, my joystick's still on the way from finland...:arrgh!: But just you wait, it'll soon be here, and I'll happily duel you then!:fff:

Wanna duel?:arrgh!::rock:
I like the IL-2 also, flys well, can take on fighters and can assault the ground as good as any bomber, not to mention it comes with rockets... a Nice lil anti-bomber killer if your a good shot...
Though I haven't flown alot of planes yet to know which is my favorite.
Oh the BF-109 flys nice.

Do the math, mate. I kick your's, SBJ kicks mine. So, how did you think of kicking SBJ's without kicking mine, as SBJ is way better than me? :p
(dang that sounds confusing... :hmm:)

Shouldn't be any problems with that at all, works fine with Vista here.

Which version did you get? I opted for the all in one DVD.
You can't even install it from autoplay. You need to explore the DVD and choose a file called "A.exe" or something.
I can install it fine, I even did it into C:\games instead of \program files(x86) like i've read in other forums as vista makes the program files dir read only and several older games have problems with it.
Going to give it another go tonight as i've been too busy lately to spend time uninstalling and reinstalling a PC game over and over. :D
I know I can get it working, but it certainly isn't a matter of just running setup. I've got Vista 64 btw.
Funny thing is, I was using XP64 and it ran fine in that, only I couldn't get drivers for my rudder pedals. Now I have drivers for my pedals but can't get the game running. :rotfl::rotfl:Ahh me and PC's have a love-hate relationship. It took me a week to get my new gfx card to work. Didn't help that the store I got it from also sold me a power supply that they assured me worked with the card yet surely enough it didn't. :damn:
