Just an hour ago, I cut off a wing from a STUKA with my trusty old Hurricane. Default (limited) ammo enabled! And he had no bombs left on his body or wings.
Sorry mate, it must be your shooting. I admit that shooting aircraft down was a lot easier in Il-2 1946! Last edited by 1.JaVA_Platypus; 04-20-2011 at 03:30 PM. |

And I also feel IL2's planes go down easier, but that is expected with a relatively simple DM compared to CoD. In CoD you get more kills by damaging subsystems, which takes a bit longer to take effect than explosions or bits falling off. |

Yes, of course it's his shooting... There's no debate about that.
However guys, there really is no point telling him he's a crappy shooter. If you're gonna make him feel bad then do so but at least add something constructive, The guy is ASKING for help... Give him a few pointers from your own experience and he can then go and practice his gunnery armed with some of the tips and tricks we've all picked up over the years. Aren't we trying to get new pilots in the air so they can experience the same joy we have for the series? Is not growing the community a priority for all of us if we want this series to continue to grow... On surface value any new il2 player reading this will go away thinking we're all a bunch of elitist pricks. Give the guy some practical & actionable advice. |

Luckystrike...
You should do a little reading up on basic combat maneuvers. What I found particularly helpful when I was in the same place you are now, was learning about lead pursuit, lag pursuit and pure pursuit. Once I started using these different techniques I was able to get into a solid firing position much quicker and more consistantly. Its genuinely facinating stuff to learn and apply, try it. |

.....and use the right tool for the job........a Hurri......with right weapons loadout turns bomber into Fireball! Getting the right loadout in stock missions is not working though and may be the cause of your problem in single player as you are stuck with the default ones even if you have custom sets available...
Stock Single Mission Intercept Bombers over London. DuaL core - 4gb - GTS250........hey but it works! Last edited by SEE; 04-21-2011 at 02:41 AM. |
