Default Favourite Targets

Which aircraft give you the most satisfaction to shoot down, is the long struggle against the armour of a b17 you crave or the delicate dancing with a spitfire that ends up in one man losing a wing or controll surface? Talking aircraft not pilots just to make it clear.

For me it has always been about destroying i153 and i16s: watching their tail fly off and them bursting into flames ah sweet, Ironically i'm also partial to shooting down hurricanes and passing the wreckage as close as possible

I second that one Shadowcorp. To shoot down them big bombers allmost makes me sad.

The Big Treat is to clear the skies from i153's and i16's. They twist and wiggle - and burn so nicely when u hit them just right.

It is a treat to dance with a Spit or a Hurrie to, before u finally break of one or both of theire wings, but the real deal is when I drop one of them annoying "small" birds.

I like rolling around B-17's and then shooting them down from the side.. (it just looks good)

Also love doing a job on any IL-type.. vertically from directly underneath (it's a sure fire way to get someone to switch back to pilot from gunner after a couple of goes)

I've said it before but, a 153 at the top of it's loop is IL-2 heaven.. especially if you cut them in half.

I16 and I153 for me. I will never get tired of seeing a wing come off an I16 or a 153 explode. I also love it when after 2 minutes of sustained gunfire an i10 explodes. Even better when you get a lucky flank burst on one and it explodes straight away.

Failing those anything labled barny I enjoy downing

I also like rolling around B17s in a Hurricane which is more challenging then shooting from a distance in a G6.

I can't seem to nail the i-153's. Impossible predict their turns unless they're in a loop.

IL series and P47's are as tough as old boots so it's satisfying to get a rare kill.
