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.

I must say, that the Italy campaign is more interesting than any other I've played in a very long time.

i've read a lot about IL2's AI, but i never actually believed what you said, at least not a 100%, until i saw this:

let's see... 1, 2, 3.. 4... 4 engines? those are twin engine planes :nope:
(it happened twice, the 2nd just seconds after the first one)
also:
"Hey Jack, please close the window, it's too windy"

Pfft, don't doubt whatever preposterous thing you hear about the AI, it's probably all true

From the Blue side:

Hunter uses his powers of observation and numeracy to good effect:

The blue forces prepare for take off:

And it all ends situation normal

Round 2 saw some intense dogfighting with Hunter being hotly persued by Fincuan:

Until Oberon obligingly cleared his six with this team kill:

The traitorous Raptor1 decided to flee in his Stalin carrier and crank up the Lag cannon which made Hunter a bit cross:

Meanwhile TaskForce, Schroder, Oberon and Hunter made a game of it on the Round Table:

Oberon got caught by Hunter and lost a wing tip and his rudder:

And dove for cover until Schroder delivered the coup de gras:

But because of the rocket stunt we never found out how it would end.:cry:

Great shots Oberon and TarJak, and thanks! It's always a pleasure to go over the sorties again while looking at the screenies :up:

They look like the auditions for Billy Smarts Circus :lol:

I remember all this, I enjoyed the bi plane round, I think I shot 2 people down, in the second round I shot one person down before I was. If I remember it correctly.:lol:

I also remember the second flight, I had raptor (taxi way commet) pulling up behind me.:huh: Thank god he didnt gun it.:lol:

My PBN Nomad was a sure winner, if the thing could take off... :damn:

Sorry again for busting the game yesterday

cant wait for tonights flight.:arrgh!:

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 the pilot must've been dead at this point (Probably of laughter)...

...as the Emily soon crashed into the sea

An interesting dogfight...
