I'm surprised the jets are not used more - Page 2

HAWX is... I have no idea what it is, I do know however that it's in no way a flight sim... I mean, slipping?? WTF.. press two buttons and you're on someone's six. And if that doesn't work, just turn on the path indicator

. Anyways, jets are lame, and should not be in IL2. They're way out of a piston's league.

The path indicator stuff is crap. On the other hand, all planes in HAWX have virtual cockpits. But I agree, props and jets ends up being boring.

Then again, I could relent if they added some allied jets like the Meteor, Vampire or Airacomet, as all the jets are axis at the moment.

I too miss Ace Combat. I played Zero to death, I unlocked every single damn thing you could in that game, and I was most angry when I heard 6 would be 360 exclusive.

Same here. Zero was awesome, I still have it. Unfortunately my original PS3 died several months ago, and I had to buy an 80Gb version which has no PS2 support - epic fail on Sony's part

I still play Zero too! Isn't it just amazing? And 4 was just godlike too

AC 6 on Xbox is great, but in all honesty is not as good as BoP. Im a huge AC fan, Ive played it since the original back of PSX. BoP though is much more visceral and skill oriented than AC, which is definately my cup of tea.

Aye, you do have to have some skill to play BoP. Someone I saw earlier obviously didn't, as he was trying to shoot down enemies using his rockets

Hahah. OR, he has standard issue steel balls

Actually that works I think. If your in a head-on pass with a guy and you both play chicken at close range you can get off a salvo of rockets and hit the guy. I did that a few days ago vs a guy in a Hurricane. I died in the pass but Im not sure if it was rocket or gunfire that got me.

I steer clear of the jets because they just don't do what they should. Well actually they do, but their speed is just to much against prop planes. The only German jet I can stand to fly for long, is the He-126 Salamander. It's a fun jet to fly when gunning down B-17s and stuff, and it seems to turn better than the Me-262?

Yak-3 FTW!!!!!
