When i "skip-bomb" i actually score direct hits, i believe, as i release at a altitude between 5m and 10m when the target fills the screen.

Important then, is to give the bombs time to leave the racks before taking action to avoid the ship.

S!

I (nor my squadmates) have had any trouble in getting the sc250 to explode with the low level fuse. I drive the bomb to the target with a shallow dive, releasing at about 100m from the target. I love the 110 action now as it doesn't do the "rodeo" anymore :)

Sadly it feels like the rear gunner is a waste of space, he barely manages to scratch pursuing aircraft

The way I see it is that if the rear gunner gets an opportunity to fire then I am pretty much in a world of sheet and will soon be dangling from a chute if lucky. If he gets no gunnery practice then I am doing ok ;)

True on the one hand. Then on the other, when the sheet hits the fan, it would be nice to have one option more. Unlucky most of the times the rear gunner does not even bother to deploy the gun :D

Gents

I love the 110...cantankerous beast! And I agree with everything said up stairs.

One of my tips...Set the Gyro! that will keep the reflector sight G centered.

Im part of a "Jabo" squad, we've developed tactics for Il2, based on heavy , AI rear gunner, aircraft (IE 110, 410, stukas). As said above, elemental, or team tactics, are the key to success, when you get into the thick of things.
Unfortunately, Ive haven't found the AI rears to be predictably dependable also.
Therefor, defensive elemental tactics, from IL2, have had to be adapted.
Slowly were adapting to live rears. Just the idiosyncrasies, of having someone "flying" backwards, as been a riot!!! (left/port, just isnt the same anymore lol)

The Gyro will keep the reflector G centered? What is the connection?

robtek 11-01-2011 09:02 PM

I really would like to know, how and why this should work.

moxy 11-01-2011 10:38 PM

Not really sure why its working this way
but if you don't set the gyro,(at least my experience) turn hard, off goes the reticule to never land.
Set the gyro, and it acts properly.

Cardinal Blggles... the third point!!!

Given pilots of equal talent in the sim, the Bf 110 is a death trap, and it should be against real fighters.


BULLSHIT.

Try reading the facts instead of the allied propaganda.

Also tell that to Oktoberfest, and the old 110 squad on IL2 46, or to the 17000 110s that survived WWII intact(the highest survival rate of any aircraft in WWII).

Flown CORRECTLY the 110 is a deathtrap....to single engine fighters. :evil:
