Because I just got beaten by some bloke flying an A-20 on a realistic dogfight with my useless ass sat in an La-5FN.............. boo hoo. He beat me 5-4.......

hello,

i think the light(example:il10)or the heavies(example:a20)are really outclassed in this game:impossible to attack it behind cause the rear gunner can open the fire in the dead angles!!!!totaly not realistic!!if during ww2 the bombers were as dangerous as in il2 game i think all the countries in war stopped to built fighters and built only a bombers!!
...in the front attack many bombers have a great fire power too and equal to the fire power of the fighter or same better(il10 with guns and rockets!!!)!!!!lo!!!crazy
but i think it is a question of tacticals and the player in the fighter must find a way to destroy the bomber...it is not easy but a good challenge and a good way to progress...
during the game i do versus the bombers i try to do a boom and zoom attack
and i must say i use rockets versus the bombers,only for one reason:i find that the bombers are outclassed in this game...but it is just my opinion...

I didnt fancy writing a long reply, so just used "angles" so that it meant attack from everywhere, high and low haha. Sorry for not making it clear.

The solution is simple and would add a level of realism sadly missing on the bombers,
Killable gun positions, you can shoot out an engine why not the man operating gun position on a bomber?
Hopefully it will be included on the next game.
I always found and i'm sure a few people will agree the me 262 is the most effective way to deal with bombers though they do take a little time to get used to

Soviet planes had major problems during the war. Read Sebag Montefiore's "Stalin The Court of Red Tsar". Although it's not specifically about the Red Air Force, it contains some stunning revelations about it's war time record and leadership. His sources are the politburos own papers opened for examination after 91.

Basically in a nutshell, more than 50% total war time Russian built aircraft losses were due neither to combat nor pilot error. The Red Air Force literally was falling out of the skies. It's upper leadership was executed immediately after the war, just days after, all before the end of 45.

Also little known among aviation fans, Mikoyan's brother was a senior member of the Politburo and presidium, during the war he was in line to succeed Stalin. They were one of the most politically powerful families in the country, even though not ethnic Russians.

Some other interesting tidbits in the book, Stalin's son Vasily killed a HSU pilot while horsing around using BRS Rockets to fish during the war on one of his outings.

It was Vasily who also brought accusations against the top VVS leadership just prior to the war, helping his father eliminate the top echelon just weeks before the war kicked off.

Yeah that would be nice. All bombers could use work on.

Me 262 takes time to get right, but any plane piston or jet powered can take down a bomber. I fly the I-153 and have shot down Me 262 and bombers on simulation.

i actually like the me 163 for bombers. it is totally unreal ..flightwise but lots of fun nonetheless.
