There is a great sim right now with realistic loadouts, BOB II WOV 2.09v
The actual British gun loadouts during the BOB were .303s.
It is an excellent sim because it has the best AI performance of any WW2 simulation, quantum leaps above anything else available at this time.
When you fly the sim you realize just what a tough competitor the British were up against. It is a miraculous effort those RAF pilots did.
If Oleg provides only actual loadouts, it will take some very fast work to keep IL2 users interested by follow up releases/patches. We are accustomed to much more firepower and powerful aircraft.
You talk about seeing the whites of their eyes, that's what it takes to get kills with .303s.
I got pretty darn good flying the BOB II WOV, and it only came from practically running over the German aircraft to get kills.
I can't count the times I emptied my guns and the enemy was still flying, and all the time I was getting hits on him.
