Am I being Cheap...

[mattd27]

if I use the IL series planes online? I've heard a lot of complaints about how the gunner is too good, and how the plane has been stat padded (not saying this is true). But if I use this online in a dogfight or other game mode, would you say I'm playing cheap?

I don't really use it now, but I thought I might start, to get the Xbox 360 achievement. But I don't want to get a reputation as a cheap pilot who uses his rear gunner to get all his kills.

I wouldn't have thought so, but the way I see it is you are only as cheap as YOU feel, who gives a shit what other people think???

To be honest I see pilots playing IL serise all the time, whether its because they genuinely like it, or to score a few easy kills who knows, who cares???????

Nope. I'd consider you an easy target .

Bottom line; Play the game however you have the most fun playing.

Cheers!

Despite what some people say, I really don't think there is any one uberplane out there. It really depends on the pilot. Take for instance the object of the most recent gripe fest, the I-153. In skilled hands it is a nasty opponent in a dogfight. In not so skilled hands or if you know how to counter it, it's meat. Just don't worry about it man, people are gonna gripe no matter what.

I enjoy it a lot, fly what you want. It's my first choice in CTA so I can capture and then cover with the rear gunner. It's supposed to be tough, which is perfect for that game type.

I love it when players come in my room with bombers, I had a good time last night with some players from outback and the UK. You can learn tactics this way.
The FW-190D-9 or Ta-152 will make quick work of the bombers, come in from the sides, bottom and top.
