Are those skins from 4.09?

[Fincuan]

That's a modded 4.09 installation yes. I've got so many skins I don't remember if the those are stock, from mods or from M4T. :lol:

Kratos is that Il2 of Picific fighters.:hmm: Looks alot like picific fighters. also nice pics, I wish I could figure out how to post one.:lol: Currently flying a Seafire over Iwo Jima, Gets kind of crazy when flying over Iwo Jima.:yep:

[Fincuan]

IL2 == Pacific Fighters, or more correctly PF is additional content to IL2, but also works alone. Nowadays their content has been combined in IL2 1946.

Ok, Thats how mine is.;) I remember picific fighters, wasnt as good as IL2.:yep:

Some screens from last night:

Schroeder gets in a spot of bother:

http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/1709/schroeintroublefj1.jpg

And ploughs the field with his magical Ju88 with seven empty fuel tanks which kept exploding... :hmm:

http://img79.imageshack.us/img79/9715/schroecrashda2.jpg

Uh oh, Fins in trouble too, will his engine make it over the frontline?

http://img361.imageshack.us/img361/6606/finintroubleyh6.jpg

Nope! Fin joins Raptor in the gulag. Borsche for breakfast, lunch and dinner!

http://img79.imageshack.us/img79/8550/fincrashlandnf2.jpg

The only two survivors from the second mission, Hunter in his Ju88 and me in my 109.

http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/5417/thetwosurvivorsgf7.jpg

In the third mission, Oberon, Raptor and Hunter took to a convoy with Ju88s, with Fin covering in a 109. The Hurricanes over the convoy were dispatched by Fin, and Raptor nailed a trawler. Meanwhile, Hunter spotted a DD throwing up flak and decided to do something about it. At the time he thought he'd missed but it turns out that he'd nailed it. Which explains the extra points at the end.

Thanks :D

Yeah, that was a nice sized convoy. My bombs went wide, so I'm gonna have to learn some bomb aiming skillz :lol: And more importantly, map those bombsight keys! :hmm:

[Task Force]

All you got to do is (or atleast for me.)
Get at a high altitude 2000m sounds good, and do a dive right at it.
When you feel like you are at the right spot, drop your bomb. It should go ca boom.:yep:

You don't get the big guns until '43 when you get the 20mm cannons.

You don't get the big guns until '43 when you get the 20mm cannons.
The F-2 has an aweful 15mm version of the very popular MG 151 firing through the prop hub, giving it marginally more firepower than say, a P.11, as opposed to that, the F-4 has the proper 20mm MG 151 which gives it enough firepower to take on pretty much anything except heavy bombers (And IL-2s, unless you know where to aim)

The later versions of the Gustav and Kurfurst have the even bigger MK 108 30mm cannons, which can demolish pretty much anything in a couple of shots

[Task Force]

Ive noticed IL2 have a week spot just behind the cockpit.:yep: They rip appart when you do it the right way.

[Fincuan]

In real life IL2s were practically impossible to take down with fire from pure 6 o'clock. Finnish pilots always attacked them from a slight angle: above -> pilot and engine, both sides -> wingroots(thinner armor and fuel tanks), below -> engine and radiator. Afaik wingroots and radiator were preferred as targets.

Ingame they go down a bit easier. My favourite is the wingroots from above, since that way you usually take the whole wing off. Works even with "teh porked" .50 cals. :up: The engine is also pretty vulnerable to .50 cal fire from above.

[Morts]

IL-2's are actually quite easy to take down
their rear gunners dont always shoot at you, and if you're comming up from below it just hit the engine (simple for some) but if you're lucky, 2/3x20mm in the wing root can actually tear of the wing

[Kptlt. Neuerburg]

The IL-2s are easy to shoot down. I currently fly the Bf 109-G6. I know I have the option of using the 20mm cannon but I don't. I stead I use five MG151/20s. There are three in the nose and two in gunpods, I've shot down alot of IL-2s this way.

[Dowly]

What a lucky sob! :nope: I peppered this poor twit from point-blank range with my MG's & the 37mm cannon you can mount to the 110, from one wing tip to another, TWICE! The fecka turns into a ball of flame, dives and just barely get's his nose up just enough to hit the hill slope! :damn:

[Dowly]

The 109 is great for that. :up: I've bumped onto a bomber numerous times, you only lose the propellor and the enemy loses parts of it's tail, usually making the crew bail out. ;)

[Biggles]

The frontlines in Italy are collapsing! American tanks managed to break throguh and advance towards this german airfield. The squadrons based there barely made it, two of the last 109s got shot down by gunfire.
http://img111.imageshack.us/img111/5227/il2fb2008102319183190rq1.jpg
I must say, that the Italy campaign is more interesting than any other I've played in a very long time.

Weirdest dogfight ever, Nomad vs. Emily (Sorry for the low-quality, damned Fraps):

Nomad draws first blood (or avgas) by cracking the Emily's fuel tanks (Which seem typically fragile)

http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/7994/1edi1.jpg

Nomad sprays the Emily with .50- and .30-cal machineguns while the Emily's 20mm cannons cannot hit the quick and nimble Nomad (:p)

I think it's such a shame that IL-2 doesn't have the Mk1 Spitfire. I think they're more interesting in their early stages.

If you go to the "Dark Side" and have mods there is a Spitfire Mk1 available and it IS damn good and well balanced too!

Ok. I gotta ask. Whats this "dark side"? Im hurting for a good flight sim. I have IL2 46, and got FSX, but Im getting bored of IL2, and I can only take off from home and fly for 5 hours so many times in a row.

The 'Dark side' everyone is talking about is the mods. The mods are made available by the community by hacking the IL2's .exe, that's why the discussion is sightly restricted here at SubSim. You can find the mod discussion thread from here (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=140435). Just dont post any links to mods or modding sites, and you're fine. :)

[Task Force]

Yea, Il2 gets old without mods.:yep: I myself perfer the *beep* and *beep* mods.:lol:

[Fincuan]

As Dowly said above, no need to beep. Listing your favourite mods and discussion in general is ok. Post a link and Hunter will start with one of these:

Here we see two AI Stukas crusing along. The one on the left has been damaged and is slower than his counterpart on the right, who is gaining slowly but surely. I wonder what the wonderful IL2 AI will do in this situation...

Hi

Today I did some more Black Shark Ka-50 flying. I have started to dig in to flying in simulator mode and with simulator avionics. Yes, it's a bit daunting doing both the flying and the shooting... :-?

Anyway, after fiddling on the runway with all the buttons and doing a less than stellar take off (somehow I yawed and banked away to the left a bit to violent and almost slashed the ground with my rotors...), I approached the targets for today. Four Abrams tanks that where put as sitting ducks on the road. No shooting back or moving around allowed today, I'm a learner.

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a126/Porphyr/ScreenShot_000.jpg

After struggling a bit more to get in position and engaging the auto hover, it's time to try out the toys hanging of the stub wings. Success! I managed to hit all targets. Close up look in the Shkval monitor. :up:

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a126/Porphyr/ScreenShot_001.jpg

You might see a very small dot between the smoke. Thats the Shark.

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a126/Porphyr/ScreenShot_004-1.jpg

Then I played a bit with the cannon as well. :)

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a126/Porphyr/ScreenShot_006.jpg

Later I did some playing around with the editor, and went for a early morning/ late night and foggy flight. Very scary and did not end well.

@Stealth Hunter - good to see someone else is still interested in RB3D. I think I still have a dormant career on my HD - a French flier who has amazing luck & lots of kills.

Nowadays the escort missions is a real cakewalk, especially since the japs don't have any high altitude flak on the islands.

Starting to get the hang of flying the Shark. Got a bit too ambitious today though. After taking out some armour I decided to move closer. Got a nice hover position.

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a126/Porphyr/ScreenShot_071.jpg


Did some infantry guys with the cannon, then BAM! Something hit me from nowhere. SAM launched right in my face.... Busted windshield, alarms going of everywhere inside and pieces of the helo is coming of... Still flying though,but.... :-?

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a126/Porphyr/ScreenShot_067.jpg

Things turned out ugly. Blood splatters in cockpit and I'm going down... no control. Pilot was obviously dead or unconscious as the outside view was the only one available.
The Shark start to move out of control and crashes... another day at work with the Black Shark sim. :)

Air kills? You think that will get you medals? The Allies have so many planes individual kills don't count anymore

Try some daring Gulag infiltrations and defending bridges from the Communist murderers, that might get you some medals

You do have to get kills that amount to more than 100 to get anything higher than a knights cross. I managed to get the knights cross with swords, oak leaves, and diamonds in mid '43 while attempting to beat the record set by Erich Hartmann.

on average our missions draw in between 8 and 16 pilots now, and above all we are getting a lot more people making it back to base due to the efforts of our training officers. A lot of changes have come into effect over the past month or so and they are all having a really positive effect on the group!

I've been toying with the idea of returning to JG53 but just cant get around doing it. Tho, I cant really be arsed to hop into the 109, after seeing the FBS's work on his new template, I think the 109 we have now looks fugly (FBS still havent released it, he said two months ago that he releases it in "few days", GRRRR!!).

[Valantine]

I don't know, the JG53 Mod pack has a knack of making everything look quite sparkly... Even the low quality group default skins look pretty cool when they catch the light!
But as always Dowly, theres a place for you if/when you chose to return! Just remember to pack for a warm climate - we are in Sicily now! :rock:

You can change the water detail from the conf.ini, under the OpenGL settings, there's an Water= line, the highest is 4, which gives you the best looking water.

Poser-rigged. You can move all the main moving parts of the plane, ailerons, rudder, elevators, rear wheel, undercarriage etc.

[Stealth Hunter]

Is that program free? It looks awesome.:huh:

No, and only the guy comes with it. The 109 and the background are custom stuff.

You missed the proper bomber stream, which we attacked after you left. Mostly B-25s, and I believe a few B-17s were also in the mix. In what was probably going to be my last pass of the whole mission my ailerons, elevators and rudder controls were shot out. Lolwaffe air to sea rescue ftw :up:

Thanks mate! :up: I noticed the P38 on my tail just as I had downed the one infront of me, gave me a bit of a scare and a reminder of something I heard a LW veteran say "Always check your six constantly, even if you are trying to shoot someone down".

Yeh, like I said at JG53, it was chaos for me after we struck the bomber stream. The bombers flew so close to each other that I always lost my target once I climbed up, so didnt even bother to search for you in that hell. :D

As for the wingman thingy, I actually though of asking that from Val before we started last night, but never got around to it. Would be nice to fly as a pair. :yep: Especially now that there's so many pilots I havent flown before, so it's easy to recognise your voice.
