The Revolution will not be televised.
No screenshots chaps because every time I tried to take one IL2 froze up completely.
First mission was going well, a bit laggy but nothing too major until I tried to take a screenshot of some 110s diving on a tank column and IL2 froze up.
Second mission I lead the 109s into battle, with Dowly, Fin, Task Force and Kratos following. Spotted tracers and climbed to intercept. Lost sight during the climb and then spotted what I thought was a Yak of sorts nearby, dived on it, gave it a burst of cannon up its backside and got:
Task Force: WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!
:hmm:
Finally found some real targets, but got there far too late to shoot them down so buzzed Dowly and Task Force on the runway and played chicken with the incoming He111s before spotting something being shot at. Found out it was Manfred Von Huntski in his little Russkie biplane. We must have spotted each other about the same time as it turned into a turning match, bad move because he could turn sharper than I, so I tried to outclimb him, bad move also because it gave him a perfect rear end shot. That screwed up my oil tank and engine, so when I came back down and tried to outturn him again, he turned me into a flambé. I parachuted out, but at less than 600 ft, the parachute had just about enough time to open before I became pavement pizza.
So, that left Kratos, Fin and Hunter still in the air (Raptor had sacrificed himself to the Socialist dream of bridge destruction), so Hunter levelled the odds by knocking down Kratos. Sadly both Kratos and Fin were having frame-rate issues (as was Dowly) with Hunters little biplane teleporting all over the place.
The AI Bf-110s had no such issues however and gave chase to Hunter, peppering his right wing and then in a display of Lolwaffle courage, smashing into him at full speed.
Which left Fin up to face the rest of the incoming fighters.
