Any specific realism settings? I use no icons, limited ammo, limited fuel, but that's about it.

Ok guys the reason why I have the no getting injured thing is that I've read that Erich Hartmann was never injured in combat other than a busted nose that had hit the gunsite in his plane after a crash landing(don't you hate it when that happens?), and yet in the same day got back into another plane and went on fighting. Now to address the realism settings. For things like fuel and ammo that can be unlimited or limited depends on what you want, do you want to waste 50% or so of your ammo on a IL-2 which I would like to point out are heavily armoured. But if you want to go full realism thats up to the player. As for the something like the venerable setting aka "god mode" that has to be on if it is off and you are playing with this setting on YOU ARE CHEATING!!!!! I seem to have a hard enough time with just the venerable setting off any ways it seems for most of the missions that I fly those pesky russians always can hit my oil!!! I think so far I have crash landed more times than Hartmann did .

Well, even if I'm not even CLOSE to Hartmanns record in IL-2, I'd like to announce that Major James Bigglesworth, my main pilot in OFF, has at the moment 85 claims, and 45 confirmed, so I'm going up the list more and more!

Well Biggles, seeing as how you are flying in WW1 maybe you should see if you can beat one of the records of an ace from WW1 instead of WW2 eh?
