He said that any aircraft that came back to base and had used WEP, as in breaking the wire at the end of the throttle quadrant to get to WEP, that engine in that aircraft was removed from service to be either overhauled, scrapped or used for parts, the aircraft was not sent back into combat with it. Also I have worked on internal combustion engines my entire life and know a LOT about them. Even now there is no form of racing where engines are run at WOT for more than a minute or two, everyone has to shut down for turns or the end of the drag-strip or Bonneville salt flats. And sixty years later with all our technology, blown engines are common in the highest levels of motorsports. If you are zooming and booming in an aircraft and want to keep the engine cool and maintain performance, you have to adjust the prop pitch throughout the entire process. When you are diving and the engine rpms go up you have to change pitch to lower rpms, and when you are zooming back up you have to watch rpms and change pitch to increase them and get the best climb. If you keep one prop pitch in a fight that sees your speed changing from 200km/hr through 700+km/hr, then you are either not going to get all the performance you could be, or you will hurt your engine. WWII pilots had one engine to get them hundreds or thousands of miles to battle and then back home again, how do you think they treated it? War Emergency Power was just that for emergencies, the last thing to do to save your life and get home, it was not a combat tool but a defensive feature. Early B-29s blew entire cylinders off their engines right through the cowling on take-off without even going into WEP. These pilots were very smart and educated individuals that knew everything about the aircraft they were flying. My friend Pete graduated from Yale University for engineering. Dummies did not get to fly fighter aircraft in WWII, and they will not be able to hack flying REALISTIC settings in IL2 Sturmovik, especially as more realistic features are added to it over time. If you can not handle flying IL2 on hard settings, then you can merely switch them off and fly settings and fly and host servers that match your caliber...... ![]() Last edited by Jumoschwanz; 01-25-2012 at 04:07 PM. |

Just consider this scenario. You 4-fighter squad has spotted an enymy aircraft formation and soon they also notice you. You ordered to begin the battle, but it turns out that enemy aircraft are on your six because they have better aircrafts, skills or any other possible reasons. You ordered your teammates to enable MW50 and tried to evade. But desperately found that you are not able to out run them. The only way to survive is to destroy them. Now, tell me whether you will use your WEP for dogfight? You might not want to use WEP for dogfight, but sometimes you don't have choice. Quote:

By looking at these kind of threads I can come to only one conclusion: this game needs some kind of brand new cheat protection.
Especially with all the self proclaimed "experts" in engineering and WWII history we have here.

All the information is on page one of this thread regarding the new flying techniques needed, including the v4.11 manual excerpt in my post.
Thanks to all of those trying to educate and explain to the rest. . |
