IL2 Online?

[BilboSmeggins]

Hi all

Just started giving IL2 1946 a blast. Where am I best looking to get some online action. Preferably without too much modding. I'm patched up to 4.08, and that's about it. I can take off and land, without too much bother :) , it's the shooty bit in between that gives me headaches :o .

I'm getting a little tired of the AI's ability to massacre me, and was hoping to find people online who are even more inept than me so that I might shoot them :DL

Any help appreciated (particularly sitting ducks ;) )

All the best, Andy

What you need is a good Human pilot as a wingman / team with you to keep those pesky AI off whilst you learn!
In which case I will provide you with the shameless plug that is www.iijg53.com (http://www.iijg53.com) - a coop squadron with worldwide membership! Drop by and check us out if you fancy having a bunch of friendlies to back you up!

Flew with Misner (a member of JG53) yesterday. A very good pilot. He knows how to handle a 109.

Go to the mod site and download the unified installer 1.1

Install it and then join us on teamspeak mon, wed, and fri.

There is a thread with the details or ask hunter.

We are know as the subsim circus...not to be confused with Richthofen's circu..Think more clowns...

[Oberon]

Essential phrases for the Subsim pilot:

"Where the hell did he come from?"
"Goddamn kill-stealing AI!"
"Nicht Landen!"
" 'Insert subject here' are overrated."
"What did he say?" (to be used after any of Schroeders sentances)
"Smartarse." (see above)
"Bloody Italian Flak gunners!"
"My plane is upside down!" (to be used if you're Oberon and you have just landed.)
"What the hell is this heap of junk?!" (to be used if you are given the 109G2)
"I wannaaa ****er-Wuuullffff!!"

(When did the 190 become censored?! :S )

[Schroeder]

Essential phrases for the Subsim pilot:


"What did he say?" (to be used after any of Schroeders sentances)

One moment, from my point of view (or hearing) this can be said after every sentence from someone else.:O:
(yes, I know the problem is on my end but I can't do anything about it.:damn:)


"What the hell is this heap of junk?!" (to be used if you are given the 109G2)
109G6 it is.:know: (proving another sentence from above right....)


(When did the 190 become censored?! :S )
Ask Dowly he knows more about that.:D

And you forgot my favorite:

"I don't see sh*t!! Where are the enemies?"

[Raptor1]

"I don't see sh*t!! Where are the enemies?"

Enemies is such a relative term...look at the Italians...or...your wingman...

[Kratos]

Ya'll forgot one phrase

''Who's that''

''that be Task force''


''shoot the b*st**d'' :rotfl:

[Task Force]

I also have a version of that.

Is that who I think it is.

Kratos flying infront of me... He knows better.

I wana pull that trigger... But... hunter will kick me...

[Kratos]

I also have a version of that.

Is that who I think it is.

Kratos flying infront of me... He knows better.

I wana pull that trigger... But... hunter will kick me...

AND YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT ! :O:

[Task Force]

Yea, hunter has used his scare tatics before.

Task Force: Im gonna fly by him one more time.

Hunter: If you do that again, im gonna kick you.

(I soon landed.)

:rotfl:

[Oberon]

One other:

"Is that Task Forces tail sticking out of the control tower?"

[Task Force]

Well... theres a story to that. I did know that getting close to the tower would make me loose a wing. I didnt even touch the tower.:-? D** you oleg's world.:wah: :rotfl:

[BilboSmeggins]

Thanks all

I've had a quick peek at the site you suggested, Valantine. Looks very good. I'll just get a little practice with the BF109G2, which I've not really used up 'til now, and then I'll sign up and treat you all to a display of absolute ineptitude :yeah: . I may even demonstrate my favourite phrase - "My bloody joystick's pissing about again. No, wait...... I've lost a wing" :oops:

Cheers, andy

[Valantine]

"My bloody joystick's pissing about again. No, wait...... I've lost a wing"


I get a similar feeling around flak for some reason! Although it tends to be "Hay, who stole my engine!?" or "Where did all my beautiful fuel go?" leading to "Hay.... this beach looks like a good vacation spot!" or even the dreaded "I'm going to be getting some swimming lessons!" :damn:

[Raptor1]

Damn it, Valantine, you stole our conscript! :O:

[Fincuan]

I get a similar feeling around flak for some reason!

Heh, reminds me of the first mission in the JG77 campaign we're flying:

After chasing a Spit around for quite a while(they're pretty slick thanks to the AI Mod) I finally managed to down him, so I relaxed a little and started climbing a couple of hundred meters away from a group of enemy ships. Flak has been very light so far, so I'm not overly worried.

Suddenly I hear a loud *BONK*

Thinking I'm being jumped I try to break hard, and look behind at the same time. All I see is my whole right wing, rapidly drawing away in a cloud of smoke and debris :haha:

[Oberon]

And me, in the Subsim Battle of France, I jump a Stuka in my Hurri, give him a three-four second burst, he goes flamethrower so I break up and over, and then WHAM I'm spiralling away to the left missing a wing. At first I felt disgraced, sure that I was shot down by a Stuka. Then I watched Hunters video of the Battle of France and saw that what had actually happened was that the Stuka had exploded, and the force of the explosion ripped my wing off :oops: Bad, but not as bad as being shot down by a Stuka :smug:

[Raptor1]

Ah, a similar (but not quite as deadly) thing happened to me back in Belgium as well, I was bombing an airbase in my trusty old Blenheim when I heard a few bangs, thinking that no major damage was caused I headed back to base, after a while I started to think the plane might be acting a little strange, and then Oberon confirmed that my rudder was shot clean off

[Oberon]

I remember that, you made a good landing after though :up:

[BilboSmeggins]

Hi Valantine

Just a quickie to say I have just signed up, and am awaiting my fate. Thanks for the heads-up. See you online soon. I'll be the one trailing black smoke..... :)

[Oberon]

Some more phrases:

"Ppfftppttt!"
"Bandits, oh, no, that's a 109..."
"What's this? Oh, another 109..."
"Aaah dammit, another 109!!"
"Gaaah, ANOTHER 109!!"
"NOOOOOOOOooooooooo!!"
"Freiiiisler, Hunters whining again!"
"Freiiiisler, Schroeders not listening to me!"

[Valantine]

Bilbo,

Got it and set it all in motion.
And don;t worry about the black smoke, its a relative thing, you could always turn the brightness up on your monitor REALLY high so that thick black smoke looks like just a bit of grey steam... although I am afraid we cant do anything about the flaming engine part!
