VINNI PUH server is now 4.11

[Jumoschwanz]

For anyone looking to fly 4.11 closed cockpit with no outside views. Icons are very limited friendly, and they do have the little map thingie that shows where your plane is.

It is an old server with a wide variety of maps and plane-sets, but it is traditionally eastern front. It nearly always has one or two people on it, and during prime-time in Russia it can have dozens. The caliber of some of the pilots is very good.
Overall I would say that it is more populated than any server on Hyperlobby with similar settings.

I have never seen it on Hyperlobby, always joined by direct IP or with the ASE, which is now defunct.

Their website: http://212.192.155.118/index.php?navigation=en/

That IP with :21000 on the end will also get you flying there.

Also here is a website that has a list of other servers around Russian that are for IL2, interesting to explore:

Have been flying there for about 3 weeks. Callsign Raven. German fighters are always under disadvantage in that low alt air quake setup. Even a plane produced in 1939 can give a hard time to a late-war German fighter.

BTW, the main process on "vinni puh" is vulch :(. Vulch is allowed, AAA cover on fields is poor.

The best "brutal" dogfight server i have ever fly. I like there very much. Do not join if you have "nerve problem". :D

What about your excellent BnZ tatics you mentioned earlier? What keeps you from climbing above the enemy? The lower they fight the better, they can't dive away.

You mean - you can't turn and burn in a TA vs an i16?
No crap?!
LOL!

[jermin]

You't can't even outclimb it in a TA, dude.

Seriously, have you ever flown TA in a dogfight server before?

Try some sorties there and post your ntrks here. Show us your skills.

You think that should be possible?
Of course you can't.

Seriously, do you have any idea what you are doing? :confused:

What makes you believe this chart represents the their real-life performance?

Waiting for your tracks, Mr. expert.

.

What makes you believe they are not.
We must assume TD did research, so it's up to you to bring proof.



Waiting for your tracks, Mr. expert

It's not gonna happpen.
I may remind you that so far you havent posted a single track of yours, not even to proof the overheating issue. That doenst put you in the position to demand anything.
I've just been on the server 'tho. Unfortunately my mobo is fubar, so until 2.2. I'll have to play with my HTPC which offers a whooping ~17fps on those maps.
It just was F2 vs HurriIIc and P40C:
You can easily outrun both of them. If you enter a fight with co-E in the dust your almost sure as hell dead(and stupid). You can neither outturn, nor outdive them.


edit: I suggest you learn how to read il2compare and use your plane accordingly.

What I like about Vinni Puh is that you can practice anything there. The maps have more than one base for each side so if someone is attacking one base you can just spawn at the other.

There are guys there that fight up high, and guys there who fight low and also ground attackers.

It's plane sets are year-specific so you will fly against aircraft that are contemporary with your own give or take a year.

The lack of outside views lets you do what you want without anyone looking over your shoulder.

Lastly, it is very often populated quite well. It seems like people watch it because often when I have joined it at odd hours when it is deserted suddenly regulars with show up right afterwards for a bit of fun.

Grijdedicado server has pretty the same settings as vinni puh server. It might be better!

What's wrong with you?

[Jumoschwanz]

Grij is a good place to practice things too, it just depends on the mood you are in. But one thing that Vinni Puh has that Grij does not is map objectives that ground-pounders can complete.

I get on both now and then, it is nice to try different and new servers that have a variety of skill settings. I am not a fan of outside views or open cockpits, but you can still have fun on them if your friends are there, or the servers you prefer are not populated.

I see out there that more and more servers are now running 4.11 and that is going to be fun for everyone.

"Favorite plane: Bf-109G-2" :rolleyes:


EDIT: Just was on it for two hours. Had some fun... but unfortunately almost everyone is just grounddigging T&B. If the airfields were more far away from each other, it could be a top server.

[jermin]

What's so wrong with G2? Russian blue players love G2 best, that's why they built so many 42'-43' missions.

I remember it was one of the few CRT=2 servers out there on HL. My squadmates and I have once played there. But we pawned their admins so much that they booted us out and lower the ping thredshold to some 200. So we could not joined any more. LOL

Many Western server admins are reluctant to accept the fact that there are always people who are more skilled than themselves. But I don't see this problem in Russian servers.

I flew on Vinni Puh a lot over the years, and some other servers from the same part of the world. I always had the greatest respect for the pilots from there. They were way ahead of everyone else on engine-management because the Yak and other Russian fighters have needed mixture, supercharger and prop adjustments with the first version of Forgotten Battles.

In some early FB patches the Yak could turn like a Spitfire while the 109s were all skating around using a lot of flaps to even come close to them, that is when more of the smarter IL2 pilots(not me) started zooming and booming, like Chivas and jv44 Rall. I always liked the visibility of the 109F, the G2 had good performance but rear view has always sucked.

Me as "the noob" in 2003 using padlock flying a 109G2 around in CrazyIvan's server. There are a lot of great old names in the chat-bar if you watch, some of them you still see on rare occasion. Boy do I miss those days:

This was patch 1.21 for Forgotten Battles which came out in November 2003 and this track was made in December. We already had over two years flying IL2. Everyone is trying out the new P-51 Mustang which was in this patch! Also the Ki-84a and A6m5a zero first made an appearance here, and we were on the road to Pacific Fighters..! I used to download these patches and fly with a 56k modem, I thought I had the hot setup because it was an external hardware modem, not a junky internal software job. IT would often take half a day to download one patch for IL2.

Nice video! It is exciting to see online gameplays from 9 years ago.

Look at those tiny reticles. Why didn't you use manual prop pitch? It would gain you a lot more power.

I started flying online in 2004. I can still remember rudder and elevator responsiveness of 109s under high speed were not that stiff as today's. And there weren't any delay in elevator trim either. Seriously, do we really need to argue the time spent in turning trim wheel to death while overlook the heavy workload of Russian pilots?

Besides, I really hope TD can give 109 pilots a chance to let them hold the control sticks with both hands.

You dont use elevator trim in high speed turns?

[Jumoschwanz]

A lot of guys talked about a lot of tricks in different patches for the Bf109 and other aircraft since IL2 came out, but those guys were the ones who placed too much importance in dueling servers or turning and burning on the deck.
Tricks were never a substitute for smart flying, and all the guys who tried playing with prop-pitch and trim during a fight just ended up having more to do and worry about, and they took a chance on ruining their engines. In FB patch 1.21 you could blow your engine in .5 seconds switching it to manual at the wrong speed and pitch! Also the engine in the later 109G could be ruined just by switching on the MW50 with the throttle over 0%.

When everyone else was flying the 109G6a/s and variants with WEP, I switched to and stuck with the 109G2 because I saw it was fast enough and I did not have to worry about ruining the engine on it, very simple to fly.

I always made things as simple and easy as possible with the controls while flying the sim, so in combat I never had to think, just act. Maybe that is the best "trick" of all?

If you don't have a clue about what I was talking about, keep your mouth shut, thanks.

gfy too, thx.
Why dont you just find another game to entertain yourself, it seems the latest upgrades have ruined it for you. :)

I wonder if such list would have a maximum number limitation. :D
