Very much the wrong place to be in any plane, unless you're flying a Zero vs something like a Wildcat.

Hmm, treetop level dogfights are always more intense

In the P-51 mission I noticed this constantly.

I start to attack, they dive to tree level, and I just simply nose down into an intercept path. The enemy fighters, at least on that mission, seem incredibly predictable when you're behind them. Roll, dive, skim the trees, pull up and to the left/right and try out-turning, then accelerate for the sky in order to give the troops a fireworks display once you realise you're done for.

However I never did notice any of them just crash. If six fighters spawned and came at the squad, we'd all pass each other and there'd be six planes turning right around at me unless they got shot during the pass.

Yep. That is something we all need to consider when playing BoP. That even our friendly AI is capable of shooting down planes TOO! Not something that you see in console games.

I must say, some games its terrible, some games just normal.
All the germans i've seen crashing were on moments i was Alone.
Sometimes multiple germans at the same time, Bang Bang Bang.

But dont think its too much of an issiue.

Whenever I land at the airfield in the first mission right after it starts, several planes start crashing around me.

I bet you'll see at least one plane crash if you try. BUT it doesn't do it everytime.

This sometimes happens in the PC IL2.

Lieutenant: "What's the weather forecast for today, Cap?"

Captain: "90 percent chance of rain."

Lieutenant: "Really? The skies look clear to me."

Captain: "That's because it will be raining Messerschmitts, Lieutenant."

They refuse to shoot down ground targets though, Bastards

Someone tried to drop an anvil on me last week and thank God I had my umbrella open.

Better bring one of those too.

Seriously, did I forget to mention the friendly AI does it too?
