Hellooo agaiiin!

Continuing the rant on the AI; Gunnery.

Why... WHY... cant my rear gunner shoot straight when I am in the plane?? I mean, make a quick mission with a rookie BF110 and attack it, you get quite a few hits and the gunner 90% time shoots to the right direction.

Pure AI plane's gunner:

Now, you take a BF110 and have someone attack you. When the enemy is diving from right, the gunner shoots left and vice versa. Even if the enemy is straight on your six, the gunner shoots most of the times over the target!

My AI gunner:

STUPID GAME!!

How am I supposed to be able to fly my plane and shoot the rear gun at the same time?! It's like trying to wank while talking to your mom on the phone!

I don't have that problem when I'm talking to your mum on the phone.

Lol, guys.. what's the deal with the Italian MG they have in IL2? That shoots the white tracers? I just pounded a Spitfire for 10-15min and it only went down because the pilot chose to make a crashland (must have been teatime and figured it would take the whole day and much of the night if he let me actually shoot him down).

Aye, the MC.202 had really bad armament.

Considered one of the most beautiful fighters to fly with wartime Axis forces,[1] the Folgore was also an effective and deadly dogfighter.[1][2] A prominent Allied foe of the C.202, the leading Australian air ace Clive Caldwell, said that the Folgore would have been superior to the Messerschmitt Bf 109, had it been better equipped with weapons;[3] the C.202 was lightly-armed by the standards of the time, with only two 12.7 mm and two 7.7 mm machine guns.
Macchi aircraft were sometimes known by the name Macchi-Castoldi. Hence the Folgore is occasionally referred to as the MC.202.

the MC.205 had a MG 151 20 mm Cannon, should try that one for a spin

Yeh, I know it had light armament, but ffs, if I keep making passes for 10min and then have 3 of my squadmates do passes for few minutes before I went in again the Spitfire should be in atoms. A bullet is a bullet and it makes a hole, couple of thousands of rounds counted together makes a BIG hole.

EDIT: Oh yeh, and just checked, it was the Macchi 205. :rotfl:

Biggles · 04-09-08, 03:04 PM

Oho! You lads should've seen the furball I got into earlier today!

I was to take a new pilot up to the front in my Camel (he flew his own 'course). I'd barely gotten of the ground, when a big Cirkus of at least 10 jerry Albatrosses stormed out of the sun! Before I knew it, my poor little wingman was shot down before he knew what hit him! I was certain I'd be crushed like an ant myself, but I wanted to go down in a blaze of glory, so I stayed and fought them off, I managed to shoot down seven of 'em, that's right SEVEN!!!! And my Camel didn't even get a scratch! After that little triumph, I was out of bullets, so I did a fast landing back at the field and got myself out of there before the jerries wanted revenge.

I mean, 7 claims in one sortie! I'd get the Victoria Cross for sure, as long as the chaps on the base (about 3 km. away) kept their eyes opened).

Nice one Biggles

sure hope you get confirmation for your kills, the couple of times i've fired the game up, never had any of my kills confirmed, i know i've had five in three sorties.
Eddie Rickenbacker would be proud of you

*door smashes open*

"EINE KAFFE! SCHNELL!"

zoday i had a great victory, my group of (4) BF109's went off course and attacked 11, yes 11, russian I-16 type 24's and one Yak.
while another group of 109's was underway we fought like hell, myselve shot down 5 of them while my team mates shot down 3, then the other group shot down 2. while i was enjoyng my victory and attacked 2 more of the I-16's they both broke formation and i engaged one of them, while i thought my wingman was with me i was attacked and my engine got hit. entire cabin was black from the smoke and oil spraying on the glass.
eventualy the engine cought fire and i landed the plane just in time to get out of it and runn away, few moments later the thing explodes.. but luckaly for me it was on our side of the border

those pesky russians did got shot down by my squad after they shot down the other squad

gotta go now, my next plane is ready on the runnway

Kaleu. Jochen Mohr · 04-16-08, 02:38 PM

my supperiours are insane

i just finished a mission where we were ORDERED to fly stringbags (Fiat CR_42) against BF109's................ plus we were outnumbered by 1...........

and as i susspceted we were all shot down, then another stringbag squad (Gladiators) got owned.... and finaly a Hurricane squad.....

(if you wanna do this to then get this http://www.mission4today.com/index.p...etails&id=3286)

i was able to shoot down a recon plane and a JU-87 before i had to bail when my tail was shot to schreds

*Oberon walks in*

How do chaps, back from civvie street, dropped into the RAF Museum in London and said thanks to an old friend who's saved my virtual behind more than once.

Dowly · 04-19-08, 02:25 PM

Nice!

HunterICX · 04-19-08, 02:53 PM
