German Jet Ar-234 Makes No Sense
What the hell? :-? Who came up with that design. Backwards firing guns....nuff said.
HOW DO YOU USE BACKWARDS FIRING GUNS? :hmmm: :/\\!! And what are those things that parachute off the wings as soon as you start? This jet confuses me. :doh: I can only use it as a bomber. The gunsight is backwards and everything. Useless. Even though, IIRC, the IL-2 1946 in-game description says its a recon plane. |
Well the 234 is only ment to be used as a bomber. The backwards firing guns are only for defence which uses a periscope gunsite to aim. The parachute things are RATOs (Rocket Assisted Take-Off), basiclly little re-useable rocket motors that help with take-off. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ar-234

Actually, its one of my favourite aircraft. One of my best moments in IL2 sturmovik 1946 was shooting down a b17 in one of those.

As far as jets go, I'll take the Me-262HG-II with R4Ms. The 234 doesn't make sense to do other than bomb. |

Last German WWII recon flight over the UK was done by an Arado in April '45. We never even detected it! :doh: |

As for the rear-firing guns, it was an attempt by Arado to fit defensive armaments on what is essentially a one-man aircraft. They were fairly useless, as you already know, and most pilots had the things removed to make the aircraft lighter. EDIT: Dammit, Oberon! |

I don't use jets a whole lot in IL-2. They seem too out of place. The real flying was done in P-40s, Bf-109s, and others of the sort. |

Though I'm sure that any recon flights over GB wouldn't be detected. |

I love doing that. |

Except now whichever ones you kill are dead. If you kill the pilot by (accident) shooting him, he's done for and so are you. And that is a very slow, very crappy heavy bomber.....but it still has better guns than the 234. :cool: |
