Enemies are nearly invulnerable

U always have to kill the pilot first

Bombers almost never burn in flight!!!

[Rattlehead]

Well, I've shot down a few bombers already, without having to kill any crew.

But I haven't seen any of them erupt into flames yet.

[Strike]

perhaps edit the ammunition loadout to have more tracer rounds and incendiary

[Fusek]

Indeed, play around with ammo settings. I've downed multiple bombers by setting them on fire. Also check your convergence and stick to it

[Tiger27]

Hit a blenheim just outside of the engine and you should see some flames, looks like there is a petrol tank there as it goes up quite well.

[Wutz]

Oh bombers do light up, but it depends where you hit, also taking out the gunners not that big of a problem as in IL2 where one had the impression sometimes that the gunners where invulnerable.
Here some screenshots





What is bad though is that the Blenheims fly like fighters! They can out manouver a Bf109, as if the 109 where a cumbersome bomber!

"Its a BUG!"

[JG4_Helofly]

Ahhhh! it's porked!!

You should try the fw200. It burns very quickly when you hit the wing.

i confirm... people who can't destroy bomber....learn to shoot it is wat i need to do in COD learn to shoot

it depends of ammo and where to shoot... sometimes i use all my ammo with nothing like result. and sometime i can burn it

one time with only ap and incend ammo... i just do a short burst on the wing of a HE111. and the fuel tank explode...

one time i was on the HE111 and I EXPLODE... i look my track... i don't see nothing... just a burst on the main part of my plane... i think...i is a bug...but when looking damage info i see that the little burst make explose one of my oxygen reserve

like we said... it is not because you sucks that it is a bug

[JG1_Luckystrike]

i play il2 since the first day its out
i know how to shoot
