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

[bobbysocks]

if you can make a good landing and shoot the crap out of a bunker more power to you. i dont know why you would get hate mail...you yourself now are a sitting target like on CTA. if they cant put you out of action they have a problem.

It will work with any aircraft with a cannon.

EDIT: After getting hate mail on PSN after i did this, i want to know if this is regarded as 'dishonorable, cheap'?

What unlock do you get for destroying Ground tragets with a G6 ???
Must be those missing German rockets

I've landed a Po-2 next to a bunker once and shot it with the tailgunner. Takes a whole 2 minutes to get one point down. The Po-2 in itself is a CTA aircraft for arcade. Take it to a 1vs1 on CTA, you can average 20 kills with 5 deaths. Somewhat the same for the I-16 Type 24 and the I-153. With either aircraft, its very easy to get a easy landing.

I unlocked some bombstuff for the I-16 by knocking out groundtargets with the G6 last night mate. Big time experience shooting up something that blasts right in your face! It gave me two unlocks. Two blowups, two unlocks. Cool mission.

Earlier today I met an arcade player trying to unlock the bombs for the Fw-190 F8. I told him he had to play dogfight or team battle but now I myself am starting to wonder, it seems to be more of a strike plane.

I never said anything about Ground targets and a 109 G-6.

[bobbysocks]

no you said "it will work any plane with a cannon"...which would imply G-6, 153 etc.

No you did not mention a G6 but I know what you did as I was the one on your team that shot you down 4 times due to the fact that Paralax and my self were helping people gte unlocks for bombers . Thats why it was 4 fighters aginst the 4 or 5 hennks and belehems . You knew this . you were told . You switched to a fighter even in the lobey and chose the fighter team .
You then proceded to use your G6 as Tank to prevent the bomber team from wining . As for hate mail you get non from me although I will call you what you are a peice of shit. This is not the first time you play like an ass .

Right... I didn't hear anything about helping people get unlocks and as such, i was under the impression that it was a competitive match & It being 'fighters vs. bombers'.

If you want to continue this discussion in private, then fine. I'd prefer it we do as to not disturb other posters.

I`m very rooky at this game.
I'm stuck in Stalingrado. Although I destroy every JU52 the mission is never acomplished. The final message says that some aircrafts landed.
Thanks
