Realy hope this damedge is from an Internal explosion and not from MG`s....

I promise to find the interviuv i have from a German ground crew member who repaired the planes doing bob...

He statet that the Brit guns in many cases killed the crew but left the plane flyable....And he realy disliked repairing damedged HE-111`s because it took werry long pacthing up all the holes....

Hes opinion was that the british planes had werry effective guns against the bombers and the MG`s was a terror weapon against the crews. You dont need to aim at a specific spot, you just spray the entire bomber with these small bullets, no matter what you will kill some crew members.

He also statet that the ME-109 was a great fighter, but the pilots complained that there was not enough cannon ammo to be effective against bombers and the two MG`s was a waste of weight. They should have removed the MG`s and give the pilots 100 cannon rounds more...

He also told that the Pilots even before BOB complaintet that they had so little fuel. Doing the entire BOB ground crews was working on a field mod for a drop tank, that was what they used many hours on, trying to give the fighter pilots 200ltr more fuel. It was so stupid. We got told that we would get racks for bombs, but no one in high command thought about it was fuel they needed. They had so little fuel and then they would add 250KG of bombs so they would use even more fuel, it was stupid. The ME-109 was a fighter, this idea turning it into a Jabo just show how little the high command understood about airwar.

Who in there right mind would send fighters across the chanal with 400 ltr`s of fuel. With combat they had at most 70mins of fuel. We had to salvage many fighters who had to land somewhere because they didnt have the fuel to get back. Sometimes the "swimmer" in the gas tank would not work correctly so it would show the wrong ammount of fuel, it could also get stuck doing heawy combat manouvers. Many of us on the ground was glad that we didnt have to fly "over there"'

He talks werry little about the FW-190, but he says that it was a great plane in air, but could be a nightmare for the groundcrews. And many 109 pilots never got used to fly it. They joked about it. They give me a sportscar (109) then they let me have fun with it and after that they give me a truck(190)

I promise i try to dig the 15 mins clip up i have somewhere on the 1000 CD`s/DVD`s i have lol....

I guess its all about fuel. The He111 was even able to carry additional fueltanks in its bombbay (Do17 and Ju88 too) to increase range , sure than with a lower bombload/amount.

In short, no. Nor in any other 2011 game so far, although some use prettier shading or more particles (but usually with different performance requirements).

I think that damage is created by the internal fire burning through the thin aluminium panells.

Stil looking for the clip......

But hes story is amazing

he joined luftwaffe as a mechanic in 1937 he repaired planes doing bob he then was send to the eastern front and was in Russia for two years then he was send to Denmark and then back to Russia. He came back to Germany January 1945.

He was in camp until the Berlin airbridge, then the Americans hired him as a mechanic. He joined the newly formed West German airforce and helped structure the maintinace part of it and retired 1961.

realy hope i have succes finding that clip...might be doing the weekend have a looong day at work tomorow friday..

Interestingly, I think it was Stanford Tuck who adopted a policy of not bringing down the bombers, but instead making sure that they did get home, albeit with dead and dying crew members. He felt that this had a much greater effect on the morale of the Luftwaffe then planes simply not returning at all.

In one of the books I've got, the practice of sending home bombers riddled with bullets to dent morale is attributed to the South African ace A. G. "Sailor" Malan: "...with a dead rear gunner, a dead navigator, and the pilot coughing up his lungs as he lands...I think if you do that it has a better effect on their morale..." from Battle of Britain (Deighton and Hastings, 1980).

Acording to "Battle of Britain" by Len Deighton it was Sailor Malan who said he would rather send the German A/C home " with a dead rear gunner, a dead navigator, and the pilot coughing up his lungs as he lands.... I think if you do that it has a better effect on their morale"

I love 'Fighter boys' - and 'Bomber Boys', for that matter - and I think that's where I encountered Malan's comments.

I'd also like to recommend 'Ten Fighter Boys', which came out in 1942. A gripping read.

Oh, and 'First Light', of course. Sorry if we're going a bit off topic.

Use more AA, problem solved.

They seem to be rendered/represented the same way that they currently are in IL-2. More AA improves but does not solve the problem of the little gaps. AA fixes jaggies with gradated shades on top of what is there. It will only go so far with something that has no detail but but may help a little by filling the gaps with some gradation.

The screen-shots always appear to have no AA and they just illustrate that there are not enough pixels to represent the wires.

Np mate, think we are all brushing up on the BOB atm lol, have dug out all my books and am re-reading again, currently on "Fighterboys" by Patrick Bishop.
Years ago I came across an old battered copy of "Helmet Wick das leben eines fliegerhelden" which was printed in 1941 after his death. Unfortunately I cant read german :( Maybe some german fans could recommend an OCR program i could use? All the english language one's ive tried fail except one, which unfortunatley isnt available in Australia (and they wont post here). Thought if i copy it using OCR software then purchase a quality translation software i could finally read it, maybe even find someone to publish it.

from the inside cover, "herausgegeben von der luftwaffen - illustrierten der adler" which when translated online = "published by the air forces - the eagle illustrated'

Wonder if the modern German airforce still holds the rights?

Cheers

I actualy have this book and im lucky enough to read enough German to kinda get the main points. It is a propaganda book, it is something the luftwaffe published to the general German population to show how great they were. Dont think the modern Luftwaffe want to have anything to do with it :)

Im told that the Danish royal libry have a version translatet to English, i will check it friday, atleast i might be able to get information about when and who so you might be able to find one your self :)

BobTuck.

I don't have it on my PC just yet but i'll take a guess based on my understanding of the interface: running full power with the radiator closed ;)

I've been wondering what the two small sliders besides throttle/pitch/mixture where, until i remembered that we get separate oil and water cooling controls. So, the blue one must be the radiator and the amber one (not visible in this picture but present on 109s and 110s in videos i've watched) must be the oil cooler flap.

I made a single thread about my screens, but I guess they should be all set here...

---------------------

Made this little mission this morning.
4 Fiat B.R.20 "Cicogna" medium bombers are reaching the southern-eastern corner of England for a level bombing run on port facilities.
Altitude, 4.000 meters.

They're escorted by 3 Fiat G.50 "Freccia" fighters, acting as very close and direct escort.
Made this mission in the full mission editor just to try to make my Breda SAFAT 12,7mm hmg fire different kind of ammunitions and see the different results.
This time, my belting was : ball-ap-incendiary-explosive-ap/tracer for both guns.
The effects of this belting is devastating... Forget about IL-2 porked Bredas... A good and well placed burst can be really effective. AP rounds and especially HEI rounds seem to pack quite a punch.
HEI 12,7mm rounds exploding on wing surfaces make some quite large holes, destroying internal rivets/cables/structures.
AP 12,7mm rounds are able to pierce any pilot protection used during that period.

Well, as you'll see, even the British 7,7mm guns are now... guns: meaning that if they're fired correctly, they'll be effective in a new and most realistic way.

MY land terrain details are very low, as my PC is quite an old chap.
Here it is: C2D 7500 ad 2,96 mhz, 2GB DDR2-800 ram, GTS450 1GB video card, 150gb HD.
Playing on 1680x1050 res.
The FPS are quite good above water. Smooth. I can't complain with my system really. I even tried some fights with about 20 planes, and everything was still good. Even above ground it's not too bad, but I can't just load trees or add more buildings.
Aircraft models set to HIGH, as Damage model Decals. Shadows ON.

The sim is fantastic. There are some problems though: I have the feeling something is way off with the G.50. It's performance are really too sub-par. It's way too slow and really can't reach its actual speed as in IRL.
Accelleration is slow too, and you just can't climb, as it begins to stall.
There is no WEP too (it had it in real life), and manifold pressure strangely is set to 700 mmHg, while on super-combat-power it could go to 860 mmHg and be able to pump out a quite decent 960hp at that altitude.
I feel something has been missing on this plane.
(btw, I already wrote this on another topic)

Other than that, this sim has huge potential, and I really love it.

Well, time for some pictures now! I hope you'll enjoy them. ;)
Cheers

The G.50s speed up to catch their bigger friends.

http://img813.imageshack.us/img813/2637/14145364.jpg

Close together towards the target!

http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/3855/95791891.jpg

Target in sight!

http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/2127/10037144.jpg

Reaching the target. Enemy fighters are nearby and gunners have made their weapons ready to fire. Bomb bays opened. On the bombing run!

http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/9650/77548530.jpg

Enemy Hurricanes are coming!

http://img858.imageshack.us/img858/3695/78570072.jpg

Bombs are released just on time.

http://img545.imageshack.us/img545/7056/79922152.jpg

The last bomber in the formation also drops its 4 x 250kg GP bombs into the harbour.

http://img816.imageshack.us/img816/6196/24298837.jpg

The Hurricanes come to stop the intruders

http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/508/84787729.jpg

One of the Hurricane try to hit the leader of the bomber formation.

http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/384/82699616.jpg

The top turret gunner in one of the BR-20s tries to fend off the attacker with his 12,7mm gun.

http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/9483/96075710.jpg

http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/8445/73320496.jpg

The Hurricane fires with anger at the Fiat.

http://img585.imageshack.us/img585/4587/54558999.jpg

No luck this time. All of his burst went into the left wing, making just some small holes and nothing else. The gunner looks with real fear at the British fighter.

http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/5355/35770680.jpg

The escorting G.50 try to reach the fighting zone, but their speed is so slow that they will need about 5 minutes to close up . (!)

http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/9620/30577561.jpg

A G.50s closes up on a Hawker and fires a small burst into its fusuelage. An exploding round just goes into the forwars fuel tank, setting it on fire immediately.

http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/7233/51867636.jpg

An Hurricane doesn't see me coming during a right turn, exposing his underbelly and placing me in his 6 quite easily.

http://img847.imageshack.us/img847/2409/79954796.jpg

After some seconds, the 12,7 bullets start to hit the British fighter.

http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/5764/21104644.jpg

A small burst at close distance into its fusuelage is sufficient to kill the pilot immediately. (note the large piece of canvas torn apart from the HE-I bullets, and the small bullet holes made by the AP and incendiaries)

http://img845.imageshack.us/img845/2897/78010299.jpg

The Hurricane's revenge!! Just as I was firing on the previous fighter, another one jumped me from behind and at very close distance let his mighty 8-gun battery fire.
Only about 20 bullets hit my plane, and they just went into my head :-P
The DM is amazing. My aircraft , at the end of the mission, was only 3% damaged.
A well placed burst.

http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/6743/47825540.jpg

A close-up view on the bullet holes and the slumped body of my virtual-self.

http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/11/98238393.jpg

In the meantime, the BR-20s reach their home base in France.

http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/2354/29290675.jpg

The leader starts to land.

http://img842.imageshack.us/img842/6533/25042475.jpg

Thanks Defender
I tried playing with graphing settings yesterday. Added trees (just didn't put them that many) and I can still fly above land. Sure, there's a small fps drop, but it's flyable. (at least with only 1 plane. WIll try this with some more airplane in the air).
Without trees everything is really really smooth everywhere. I really couldn't think this would happen in a system like mine.

I will add some more other screens later.

How do you fit so much retardation into a single post?

1. Oleg and crew made the WOP engine (it's the IL-2 Engine), the WOP team made a few alterations, that about it.

2. WOP looks like crap when you get low. It's looks like crap when you're on the ground, and it looks like a stylized cartoon when you are in the air.

3. Maps are postage-stamp sized.

4. Wings of Prey is a console game with a lot of shortcuts and tricks to make you think it's realistic looking. The realism (FM/Damage) is really simplified, and . .. .

I don't know why I am bothering to type this. If you're daft enough to type what you did then you're not going to listen to reason.

Cliffs of Dover for the most part runs like crap. It's essentially still in a beta stage, and it's designed for tomorrow's hardware. Sucks for trying to play it now on a budget, but there is pretty much no feature (besides system specs that allow you to play the game) that WOP even begins to approach COD.

I think you've included some mistakes in your post:

1.) I am pretty sure that WoP uses its own rendering engine. Only flight modeling was borrowed from Il-2.

2.) It looks pretty damn good for the resources it needs. The whole package is coherent, the art direction is clear - I can't say that about CloD currently. WoP is not going for realism, but movie-ism. It's not IL-2 style, but it's lot of people's style. It certainly doesn't look like crap. Do you say that Band of Brothers or The Pacific look like crap because directors decided to run a bleach-by-pass on the frames?

3.) Map size doesn't affect performance, rendering distance matters more.

4.) If it looks good, and tricks you to think that it's good, then it's good. For what it's worth, given the resources it needs, it runs as a pretty damn good polished package.

2.) It looks pretty damn good for the resources it needs. The whole package is coherent, the art direction is clear - I can't say that about CloD currently. WoP is not going for realism, but movie-ism. It's not IL-2 style, but it's lot of people's style. It certainly doesn't look like crap. Do you say that Band of Brothers or The Pacific look like crap because directors decided to run a bleach-by-pass on the frames?

3.) Map size doesn't affect performance, rendering distance matters more.

4.) If it looks good, and tricks you to think that it's good, then it's good. For what it's worth, given the resources it needs, it runs as a pretty damn good polished package.

Nobody says that WoP is bad in it's niche. Wop effectively tricks you to think that it's good, then it's good in that, in being an arcade sim with small terrain and hollywood graphics that does not look good at low level and does not look realistic at hight level.
So, and this is what we say, there is not comparison from what WoP does and what CoD does even in its current state. CoD engine could do what WoP does with no problem, and I'm sure even with better fps, turning down terrain size, number of objects in scene, fx, lighting, flight dinamics, damage, IA, and so... but then it would not be CoD needing some patches (as many games does, sadly, when released, old FB with them ), would be another arcade sim wich CoD is not and never pretended. WoP engine simply can't do what CoD does. No way. If you can't see that difference, and don't realize what bigger in code and complexity that difference is, then you should be playing WoP.

See, you are arguing over the technicality of the engine. No doubt, I agree whole heartily with you that CloD's engine is built to support more details in mind - and it's awesome.

But what the original author was talking about how it looks - art direction. A great engine can't do jack without equally great art direction.

A good testament of how tight WoP's art is that their game doesn't have quarter the amount details of CloD, but people are still comparing it to CloD.

Imagine what CloD could benefit if it had the same polish. Hopefully some day we will get there.

Btw, I don't play WoP even though I have a copy of it sitting on my HD. It's not my cup of tea, but it bothers me when people rags on it because it's not 'realistic' enough, or that 'graphics' are 'tricks' - all computer graphics are 'tricks'.

Eizon said:
"If only 1C could get the resources in that whoever made WoP had. They clearly know much better what they're doing when it comes to making a rendering engine."

That statement is not much related to art direction really but technicaly.
And even in art direction I really like much more CoD approach than WoP, but I understand is a mather of taste and completely subjective, so no point in discuss about it.

I think you just rightmouse click on them with ctrl or something and a popup menu will come up so you can close them. They are some default in game menus/info boxes.

Thanks! Gotta try to remove them. I wondered what they were and thoughted that they were just graphic errors that came with the game.

How do you fit so much retardation into a single post?

1. Oleg and crew made the WOP engine (it's the IL-2 Engine), the WOP team made a few alterations, that about it.

2. WOP looks like crap when you get low. It's looks like crap when you're on the ground, and it looks like a stylized cartoon when you are in the air.

3. Maps are postage-stamp sized.

4. Wings of Prey is a console game with a lot of shortcuts and tricks to make you think it's realistic looking. The realism (FM/Damage) is really simplified, and . .. .

I don't know why I am bothering to type this. If you're daft enough to type what you did then you're not going to listen to reason.

Cliffs of Dover for the most part runs like crap. It's essentially still in a beta stage, and it's designed for tomorrow's hardware. Sucks for trying to play it now on a budget, but there is pretty much no feature (besides system specs that allow you to play the game) that WOP even begins to approach COD.
Just wanted to clear this up.

I'm talking about rendering engines here, performance, graphics. FM/DM/CEM/etc doesn't come into it, CloD is obviously unparalleled as a simulation.

But graphically, I stand by what I said about WoP. Those developers are obviously much more experienced at putting together a rendering engine. Art direction aside (you say it looks like a stylised cartoon, but that's just filters)... from a technical point of view it's superior in the graphics department. It doesn't look as good parked by a forest as CloD on MAX and the cockpits are less detailed, but in every other respect.

The WoP code - only some parts from IL2 Sturmovik (FM I believe), it's not the same engine.

So basically, your post doesn't make sense and I stand by what I said about the rendering engines. 1C Maddox needs to hire some experience.

Rofl IMHO I hated the wop graphic style horrible green filter looked like I was flying through algae, lighting/bloom was good but majorly over the top and the shadows are rubbish in comparison to clod. I think the main reason some ppl like one over the other is the art style, clod strives for a realistic view and wop a try to build on the atmosphere.

At the end of the day I see it like this wop small highly detailed land at a distance for dogfighting, clod realism and catering for large maps for missions.

Wop may look good but it is in no way realistic anyone that has look out of an aircraft should see this.
What is it with you guys?! "Rofl"?

The rendering performance is far inferior to WoP, this should be a given. Why deny it? The art style is irrelevant. That's textures and filters. The complexity of the sim is also not relevant to graphical quality and performance. The size of the map is also irrelevant, you shouldn't be rendering something you can't see on the screen.

I'm sure that a CloD developer, if he was able to speak freely, would hold up his hands and say "we don't have the experience or resources to make a rendering engine as efficient as the WoP one". It amazes me that some of you can't see that the developers have some serious lack of resource, despite them openly admitting it. They're having problems with tree generation, SLI, buildings, clouds, the list goes on.

I wish I hadn't bothered making a remark about the graphics now. There are too many rabid fanboys. I love IL2 Sturmovik and I want this sequel to be as good as it can be, but I don't see why I should stick my head in the sand. The dev team should not be immune to criticism in some silly attempt to "save" them. They will be judged on the merit of their work (and patches!), not on this forum.

Sorry, but you really have no idea about what you are talking about.
It is not the same, not even similar, render a small terrain, wich is static in memory, or large wich need to be swapping as necessary from memory. Not even close. To make WoP is easy, really easy, compared with CoD. If you want you can compare with FSX, wich is the only that is doing something similar with worse quality fron near. And yes, terrain that is not viewed is not rendered, but CoD has a very very far horizon compared with WoP. Technically CoD is far superior than WoP in every aspect. And, as I posted before, if Luthier could (or want, wich is not the case, fortunately ) remove that large scenery, reduce tree number, view distance, reduce shadows, FM, DM, IA... then you will have, with the same engine, an arcadish game like WoP, but more beautifull and for sure with more smooth gameplay. I would like to see anyway the WoP engine performing like CoD with similiar terrain ad FX and.. oh wait... WoP engine can´t do that!

I'm a brick wall!!! I stated that these games are attempting two different outcomes clod realism and wop atmosphere.

If your a developer you really need to understand that clod is accessing much more data than wop, I just don't think you can realistically compare the two.

I am not a fan boy I have not stated that clod is superior just that they are different.

Based on what you have said I would never have guessed that you are a developer, not trying to insult you but your logic defies common sense.
Ok, I have just one more thing to say to try to get my point across, then I'm done.

All of the (incredible) simulation aspects of CloD - the FM, DM, CEM, clickable cockpits, this is all code that runs on the CPU. It's independent of the graphics rendering engine.

The graphics rendering runs on the GPU. The code is largely independent of those other things above. That is why I'm saying, you CAN compare the graphics and graphical performance, despite CloD being a much more complicated sim in other aspects not related to graphics.

You are excusing the poor performance of the sim compared to WoP because the game is more complex. The complexity of the sim is only an excuse for the poor graphics engine, in so much as more development time has been spent on other aspects. Which is why I said "lack of resource/experience in the graphics". Please tell me you follow this? Or will I just get another "troll/idiot" response?

If you were to compare a model from wop to clod you will see which one wins... Yet again I will state it's the art direction not the graphics. I prefer the realistic clod and you find wop appealing, don't confuse graphics and artistic direction.

The graphics are obviously comparable, which is why we are disagreeing. And I do, overall, think WoP looks much more polished because of the effects (you know, shader effects, perspiration on windows, motion blurring).

But my original point wasn't really that I wish CloD had the same art direction, or even prettier graphics. I actually don't care so much about the graphics. It was that WoP does it without breaking any kind of sweat - max everything on full resolution. Look at that screenshot - detailed lighting and shader effects, clouds, plenty of trees, plenty of buildings.

We are talking about graphics rendering performance, and WoP is clearly much better coded in that department. So my original ponit - I wish the guys behind WoP were helping out with CloD graphics engine, because they sorely need it. That is all. I'm not asking for CloD to look like a movie, but it should run about as fast as WoP because the GPU shouldn't have a whole lot more to do.

I know I was said I was done, but I have a serious lack of discipline right now in not entering pointless debates.

Motion blur is speculative some like it some hate it and from what I recall I would say the shadows in clod blast wop out of the water, but I will have another look before confirming this :P

I know I was said I was done, but I have a serious lack of discipline right now in not entering pointless debates.
Let me tell you how WoP gets its results.

First, you take a small map, something like 50x50 miles. Then you hand paint the entire map texture. Next you scale up all the ground objects to something like 1.5 times normal so they look in-scale to each other but you can cover twice the area with the same number of objects, without the scaling becoming too apparent from the air. Then you turn down draw distance to about 2-3 miles and add a nice atmospheric fog to hide the short distance in which objects are visible.

Next you add some nice little graphical touches, like self shadowing and canopies that get streaked with rain when you run into clouds.

Finally, you finish off with a movie style color palette, with contrast and saturation turned up and brightness turned down, and carefully match the colors of the trees with the ground around them to make forests look more "dense".

Overall effect looks very slick and coherent, not necessarily realistic, but still looks good.

CoD on the other hand is trying to look realistic, so it needs much bigger draw distances, properly scaled ground objects (and hence a lot more of them), has more complex ground geometry, needs to look good from altitude, not just under 10,000ft, etc, etc.

Considering that the engine is currently not nearly as optimized as WoP's, and the much greater requirements, and sure, CoD will not look as polished and will have trouble running half as well as WoP.

Aside from some of the screenshots on MAX where the plane is parked on the grass by some pretty trees, which do look great...

The game looks to me (cockpits aside) worse than Wings of Prey. That is to say, unless you're literally parked on the ground, I'd say that WoP looks better and runs probably 15 times as smoothly.

If only 1C could get the resources in that whoever made WoP had. They clearly know much better what they're doing when it comes to making a rendering engine.

Here's my take on it:

Rendering engines don't exist on their own. There's also a game that needs to be run somewhere in there too.

I think if CoD was running the same simulation/collision detection/damage modelling/etc etc etc that WoP does, the rendering engine could have certainly been made to do more and do it more smoothly. And then it would only be artistic choices that make the differences.

I think if the WoP people had a priority on making their game do the same content as CoD, they would have had to compromise their rendering as well. That's just the way it works.

So while it's perfectly alright to think that WoP looks better in whatever way, I think it's wrong to think that you could just shove their rendering techniques/engine into CoD and 'fix' it. It would probably encounter the very same problems CoD is having right now.

The WoP people made their choice: Graphics over gameplay. CoD went the other way.

That said, I still think CoD looks beautiful. Especially compared with other games of its type and by that I mean true simulations. FSX or BoB2:WoV or Rise of Flight or DCS sims or what have you. These are the titles that will show you what is possible graphically when making a SIM. Comparing the graphics of WoP to CoD is like comparing the graphics of Crysis 2 to Arma 2. If you want Arma2, you can't have graphics like Crysis 2. It just ain't happening. Not yet. Arma 2 still looks great, but it's restricted in how great it can look by all the other stuff it's doing that a game like Crysis 2 doesn't do.

HAWX looks pretty good too, but if HAWX had huge maps, a complex damage model and flight model, large view distances, and complex AI, it would be ahead of its time just like CoD is.

As for remarks about sim stuff being CPU and graphics stuff being GPU, that's all well and good IF they operated independantly. I don't think they do. These are moving objects in a simulation. Before a renderer can do that kind of work, it needs the information that's being processed by the simulation. Take for example the simple rendering of a bullet hole on a wing.

Before the renderer can display the appropriate image on your screen, the sim has to decide if the bullet hit your wing, where did it hit exactly, what damage was done by the bullet and needs to be displayed etc. CoD uses some pretty complex decisions for all that stuff. The renderer may be blisteringly fast, but it can only work with the information that the Cpu gives it. WoP I think is pretty simple in these kinds of matters, so it gets the data to the gpu faster and the gpu can render the scene faster as a result.

That's what I believe anyway. Since CoD looks better than any WWII Battle of Britain sim I know of, I'm not complaining at all. It can only get better from here.

I found that setting a 150 yd convergence on the spit landed me some crazy results in a turnfight with 109. This is from a 2 second burst showing 334 hits (according to stats) which killed the pilot and I'm pretty sure it knocked out a lot of systems. Engine escaped unharmed though :P Saved that one for the ocean ;)

Gotta say, I admire the damage details :D

You can say that again.

I can't wait to see the Butcher Bird and the Mossie.

Oh yes, the Mossi, also a wonderful aircraft. I loved to fly her in IL2 unfortunately the operational conditions online are not made for Mossis.

Maybe if they had added more versions then it would have seen more use.

Took a 40mm bofors shell into the R/H engine nacelle, bursting it into flames...

After feathering the prop, opening rads and oil coolers the fire caused the engine block to overheat and pretty much blew radiators, oil gaskets, governors, exhaust manifolds and more, so I was lucky to set my prop to feather before the governor failed.

Looks really nice when you can see the slowly turning prop leave its shadows on the nacelle...

Managed to make it back to France with the plane intact.. Of course since all hydraulic systems depend on the Hydraulic pump driven by the R/H engine I had to use the emergency gear down system, and the gear slowly pushed out and locked. I made a nice three point landing and steered the 110 off the runway before I lost my speed..

Engine fire wouldn't blow out, so I assume the fire units were rushing out :p
