hello
i play il2 since it came out and during a long time i think the russians planes of il 2 game were outclassed but now i think it is not exactly right...
i go in my ww2 planes books and i read the la and yak series are very manoeuvrable and can outturn the best germans planes of the east front
the i 153 (hate by a lot of players,lol!!)can turn a loop in 13 or 15 seconds(the bf109e can do the same in 20 seconds).a finish pilots said the 153 is better than the i 16 in dogfight...the i 153 performances in the game seems to be close to his real performances
and all the russians planes of the game too
the only thing which was outclassed in my opinion is the fire power of the rear guns of a bombers and u can open fire with it in the dead angles!!!!not realistic
i think it is not only a question of planes but also a question of tacticals...to exploit the feeblenesses of the ennemies before the ennemies exploit your feeblenesses...not easy and sure easier to say than to do!!!but good for the fun!!!!
have a nice day
good hunting
