Macchi is a very good plane, it feels stable and can turn pretty well.. if only it had better armament.

Now why would Italians want guns fitted to their planes ? :hmm:

A few more caps from the second sortie

HunterICX goes in first



Two fighters came at me head-on missed the first but struck the second



Zabbarus joined the game and he heads in for a kill



But Zabba fell prey to the gunners and managed to bail



The first fighter that i missed turned on me (oh! dear sigh!)



And i managed to bail as well



HunterICX gets another



HunterICX had to do a bit dodging here!


But his wingman came to his rescue



All was well for HunterICX in the end

The Macchi may have weak firepower, but they dont seem to run out of ammo that fast like our spits.

I've been dodging that bugger for quiet some time wondering when he will run out of ammo.

Aye a know what you mean The last sortie, not much i could capture out of it. Now that was wierd, heavy cloud formation played havok with the trk.It stuttered and farted like Jimbuna on a friday morning ''after the beer'' :rotfl:

I got a little short burst on this one and surprise i was out of ammo


Then headed back to base



Now that was a wierd trk. on the playback it showed me submerging into the runway like a sub, then it showed the proper landing :hmm:

Yea and I also learnt how slow you can go in the Spit without stalling.

Same counts for these Macchi's they can keep up with the spits very well, they turn as fast and perform just as well....like said above that they only lack in firepower.

Well i recorded the first two trks. of the three tonight, unfortunately they make no sense whatsoever I think dcg has crocked it up big style, planes flying backwards, sideways, shooting into thin air, the 109 i bagged in the first sortie, ''I was looking forward to seeing the playback on that one.'' according to the playback i was shooting at nothing, but the fecka still went down smokin' :hmm: Did anyone else record tonight? Had fun tonight

That was fun but I have to stop crashing.

Newsflash, Hunter can get the plane back to base, but has problems taking off now. Apparently his joystick goes wonky. Now what's that about craftsmen blaming tools...

Kratos: do you save it in TRK? or NTRK?

Xabba: Its not my joystick its the calibration between IL2 and my joystick that goes haywire sometimes (over-sensitivity) 1 tiny pull any direction and my aircraft is responding on maximum.
