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

[Korsakov829]

Here are a few early unlocked easy going planes for Realistic and Sim.

Fighters:
Yak-3 (Decent turn radius, field of view, and firepower)
Hurricane (Excellent firepower, can carry a bomb, decent speed)
Bf109 series (Fair planes all around)

Bombers:
IL-4 (Outstanding turn, 4 250kg bombs, fastest firing guns in game perhaps)
A20G (almost considered by myself a Heavy Assault Fighter, but a bomber still)
He-111 H-6 (Unlocks 32 50kg bombs early, excellent in CTA)

And some advice, don't fly a American/British/Italian plane over Berlin, Stalingrad, etc. Or a IL-2 over Britain. It doesn't go right, and many players will refuse to play if this is the case. Its just wrong to see such things.
