Flying the Il-2

[DanLewis]

Hi,

Does anyone have any tips for flying the Il-2? I've tried searching this forum and the UBI one but having the plane in question being the name of the game means that practically every thread shows up!

I'm ok with the general principles of flight and ground attack but are there any tips and tricks for flying this bird? I'm thinking along the lines of how to tweak the best performance from it (prop pitch etc), how best to evade attacks, how to fuel it and so on.

Thanks,

D
