I agree with part of what you wrote about pilot skill or external "issues".

But this doesn't change my mind about the "boxes": try yourself to hit a pilot (the body, not the chute) with a single 30mm shell.

If in real life people could shoot from 300m with complete accuracy why all the quotes about the firing distance? I think you know what I talking about.

However the web is plenty of video about guncamera, but it's easy to split the "effect" compilations (dewinged planes etc) from the REAL guncamera.

One of my favourite is http://www.jagdgeschwader4.de/Kasino...4-Movie-44.mpg from the site of the JG4 (www.jagdgeschwader4.de).

We can agree that IL2 is the BEST in ww2 air warfare; my criticism is directed to develop SoW as a better sim than IL2.
