IL2 Birds of Prey: Hints, Tips, and FAQ's Thread

I figured out how to rip my plane to shreds without the "Hollywood Style" explosion.

Find a good, open field or a long landing strip. Put your landing gear out, select "bail out", unpause, pause again, go to options and then select "third person view", unpause, and then watch your plane roll over and rip to pieces and survive what usually kills you.

i can't change from arcade to another difficulty level on my xbox 360.
I can change the amount of times i want to try the mission, but not the difficulty.

Help me Obi Wan. you're my only hope.

You don't have to do all of the optional ones, just the last 2 called "Realistic" and "Simulator".

I hope this is the right place to ask a dumb question. Especially for a first post.
I am on the last Battle of Stalingrad mission 'Hornets Nest' (on the PS3). No matter how quickly I shoot down the German aircraft I get "mission Failed..." when I have 2 or 3 aircraft left.

I am using the map to go and intercept the closest flight of aircraft. I then select one of them and set the attack order for my wingmen and then attack the other four and then come back to finish off those that my wingmen have left. I then give the 'regroup' order then go to the nearest flight of German aircraft and start the process of ordering my wingmen to attack one while I attack one of the next wing of four.

What am I doing wrong guys?
TIA.
