I've never played the original IL-2, or really any other combat flight sims other than the aforementioned, since I do my gaming on a PS3 these days, but was killing the pilot possible in IL-2? Will it be possible in BoP?

Does that game take me back.
I think that was the first Dogfighting game I ever played. The first plane I flew on there was a Sopwith Pup against an Albatros DII?
And to answer your question, I don't think there is a head shot award but it is very possible to kill a pilot, from what I've experienced on the Demo. I was flying head on towards a Heinkel, fired several bursts into the front and the plane started to slowly drift towards the left, and was then followed by being put into a shallow dive. It was cool.
