1. Nope

2. Try a search, there's quite a lot of topics about it, I'm guessing you'll find a solution.

3. The IX. The XVI has a bit better guns, but a slightly slower rate of turn. It does roll better I believe. Just small differences though.

Patience and luck really. Topic is up about this will find link
3. whats better at tnb the spit IX or XVI because when i had only ix every XVI i faced seemed more agile but now i have it it seems less agile.
For a turning fight take the IX, for spead and power take the XVI, all depends on what your enemy is flying and what his skills are like


I will try and find regarding Korsun pocket for you :D

I don't think anyone has found a way of doing this on anything other than arcade yet...

Well thats not exactly true, I'm sure many people have. I just earlier today managed to do it on realistic; but with limited fuel only. Its not possible to do it with limited ammo.

Basically go towards the first group and when the second group arrive tell your wingmen to attack mission critical targets, and whatever they do not go for you do. Usually two will break off to attack one pair while the other goes alone.
In regards to attacking, go straight for them at the same alt and fire, as soon as you go past go straight up and reduce throttle to 20%, wait for critical speed warning and then push the nose down, at this point you should be between 60-110 k/m above, gives you plenty of time to strafe both bombers before hitting their alt again. If you dont, sweep up again.
When firing only let off 2/3 rounds at a time, the amount of kick-back from the planes guns shake it to much, only firing this many gives it time to return to its original firing position. This way if you aim at their engines it will take only 1/2 bursts to bring one down.

Now, I'm having REAL trouble on 'The Babysitter' mission :(

Wrong.

I've done the mission several times over and over again in both Realistic and Simulator. Not once touching Arcade, (on this mission or any other for that matter.)

Well to help you out Haitch. What I suggest, is going for the first group of enemies. Then check your map, and see what the next group is closest. Go for them, and while you take them out. The next group will still take its time. So by the time your done with the next group, just go for the next closest group. :D Worked for me many times.

Dude I believe that mission is just a matter of luck.
I tried once in sim mode, as soon as the bf-109 came the battle was so messy I couldn't get a single kill!!

And after a while I got misson completed anyway (and a high score too :grin:)

That mission is tough to figure out. I did the campaign on sim so I thought I would take it easy on the missions and do them in realistic. You need to go to them in a particular order and destroy them fast. You also need to command your other planes to attack as well (this helps A LOT!!). Also, I had WEP on like the entire mission... even while shooting the enemy.

Ya I did it! Stayed behind the gu at .6 and killed anyone in sight that lined up!
