Also you leave the server after every game, you can't sit in spectator mode waiting for the next round. It does not work like that.

Well depends on yours and their aircraft!

That's true. Don't get in a turning fight with any Soviet planes, you'll be taking a little trip towards the ground, in a burning plane if you do. ;)

Unless you are flying a Japanese fighter:)

I've always wondered, what it would be like to try out a Yak-3 against a Zero, and actually tried it on 1946!! Well happily I shot him down, but not before getting a whole lot of holes in my plane :D It was interesting to try.

Try that with the N1K2 Shiden or Ki-84:-P I like flying the Ki-27 vs the I-153 and I-16 too, and there is a guy called Deutschmark who is making an mod pack with some of the other planes used by the Chinese airforce such as the Curtiss P-6 Hawk. There is also a P-26 Peashooter mod out there, which is good fun.

I'm going to have to get my hands on that P-26 Peashooter mod. I've heard one of them fly and start for real. Great little plane, surprisingly very maneuverable. (Since it does have wire bracing connected to the wings and fuselage.) And that P-6 Hawk seems interesting as well. I LOVE 30s fighters, their just so strange in design etc. And I'll try that little scenario with the Shinden and other Japanese planes :D

The P-26 mod is over at All Aircraft Arcade, its a bit of a work in progress (uses Ki-27 flight model and a borrowed cockpit) so I'm mainly using it as an enemy, but its an interesting little plane. Its listed under Il2 MODS Download New Aircraft.

Gotta love the guys who think an I-16 is the ticket to an easy win. I like to stay just out of their range and wait for them to toast the engine, then move in with a D9 to finish them off. Maybe it's not the most sporting thing to do, but I didn't choose the I-16 for them.

I never or very rarely use WEP on Realistic while flying the I-16. But I've got a fare amount of kills on my friend. :cool:
