I've tried to be creative myself during this terrible mess... Thing is I have to shoot something to keep in harmony. I found the old trainingmode and set it up like this:

Dover, p51D-5 w/rockets (40), hostile flak and 1 B-17 flown by a rookie. Time 10 mins.

Mission: Sink the 6 ships, put out the flak-batteries in Dover and blow up the B-17 with the use of only one load-out.

It's pretty tricky, but I think it is possible. The key is not to be hit by the flak around Dover. These guys are pretty good with theire guns... I have made it with one bailing only, as I had put out all the ground- and seabased opponents, but when I tried to climb to 3000 feet where rookie in the B-17 was cirkeling, a flak-hit in the engine subsequently made it impossible to get up to him.
You sink a ship with two rockets by hitting it at the root of the chimney. That gives 12 to sink all six and 8 to knock out the flak on land. You still got 20 to down the bitch upstairs. That is if you can get up to her...

Joe: I think full wep burns a spits engine in ten mins.

And this way the world turns...

I am so Sad...but here we go !

Realistic Test 2...8 Spit Mk9 v Ju87
4 Mk9 Spit shot down
4 Mk9 Spit collided with Ju87
8 Ju87 lost...4 due to collision...4 shot down, only by engine/airframe
damage losing hight till crashed...no fatal kills
3 flights to Dover - Manston...20mins 25secs



LA7 500-15,000ft Climbing Immelman turns ?

It took 8 turns, 4 to 10,000ft, 4 for the next 5,000ft, after 10,000ft speed to 200mph+ to initiate the next turn is painfuly slow compared to lower altitude.
Unlike the Mk9 Spit which is consistant each turn & climb

Speed in the dive....max 501mph until the wing broke off !! 600ft from the sea (Airframe Faliure message came up)


Realistic Test 3....8 ME109G6 v IL10
8 109G6 shot down....none fatal, all smokin till distant demise.
12 IL10 lost (all fatal explosion) yes 12!
23.15secs

No guessing who has the big Kanuna's for taking out IL10's then... Emi, Fredi & Gus with there Desert Eagle "I,m hard Bruce Lee" shotguns....funny thing was though...the 109,s kept wandering off unlike the spits who repeatedly attacked .

Next Test 8 FW190 v IL10 and 109G6 Climb test

Great Stuff Wild right on with what I have found .

I took a B17 against 10 vet Spit Mk9 In Sim last nite
Just did climbing turn to right auto gunners took out 8 spits befor they knocked out port engine. Belly landed in the drink. Then trimed for Strait and level @ 3,500ft 80% took about another min and half befor last 2 spits were down in flames last shot from them took out starbord engine but I was still airbore when mission ended .

This is why they should never be used in dog fights

great bros! you just have attention to the training mode ^^ rofl

i have a szenario with shooting fun for you...

MISSION A: take a b17 or he111 or any bomber with a good radius of action while you are rearguning. choose a map with oceans, max opponents equal which type of fighter and start the game. dive towards the sealevel and keep a long way to the boarder of the map. its quite a bit difficult but keep ur bomber close to the surface of the water by 50% of motorpower and try to look on a course wich didnt need any more corrections. switch to reargunner and let the pack of opponents keep up to you. they are so stupid, they wont harm you anyway if you are close enough to the surface. then open fire...

it is amusing to me to see each bullet hitting through thr airframes and which demage it cause according to the handling. good sight from close range. and if they hit the water it makes a big fountain which will affect your course...

MISSION B: take any good fighter with good stability while flying slow. choose any map with max opponents and open end time. start the game and try to shoot one carfully till his motor smokes by a leak of oil. do the same to the other opponents but dont take them out finaly. if they lose oil it will take quite a few minutes till thier motor runs off and they try to attemp a good place for landing.

i just had fun to follow and watch them during thier glide towards the ground. they will manage pretty difficult landing manouvers. and if they are on the ground, the will stand there until you end the game. you can shoot them to scrap metal ^^

some pictures for example...






HAVE FUN!
