I looked at the 109 E3's again and the Lufties are going to get it! None of the E3's I've seen so far has been field modified with pilot armor. Those 8 x 303's maybe not very potent against bombers but without that armor plate the 109 Lufies are toast! Quick pray and spray from the 45 degree rear quadrant and another one bites the dust. Wonder if they're putting in the arcade arrows from il2. Be educational to see where the bullets go in and out.
I've complained in the past about the size of the pilots. People talk about them being too small. It's not about their height. It's the whole scale thing. Even a 1.68m grown up is going to have wide shoulders. Right now they have the bodies of underdeveloped boys. We all know why they did it so it's cool. I played a few quick missions in Il2 tonight and never really paid much attention to the guys in the other cockpits. Not even the guys I flew in formation with. The only people that this really matters to are the film makers. They do a lot more cockpit shots from different angles. Wonder if it would be possible to make the pilot bodies notice cockpit walls and interact with them like in real life. This way they could increase the pilots volume by say 10 % and not have them poke thru the side of their aircraft. Either way it's not going to spoil the fun for me. ( I will bitch though if I see an arrow missed a pilots head because he's a bloody midget
).
