Ok Im convinced: The IL-2 is WAY too over spec.

Have you ever noticed that the "chinless" typhoon looks an awful lot like a Spitfire from certain angles?

No doubt the Typhoon could have been a spin-off of the Spit.

They would need to be in decent condition. The two airworthy P-40s, which were recovered somewhere toward the Pacific were raised up off the ground by the land owner, and sprayed with Desel fuel!!!

And one P-38 was recovered from 30 ft of ice. "Glacier Girl"

It does have a few striknig features.


I like the step how it goes from typhoon to fury.


i was also reading up on some things and alot of 262 pilots said their biggest fear was actually the tempest, because at low altitude they were so fast and had incredibly powerful guns (4 hispano cannons) that they scared the living shit out of the 262 pilots.

I always though it was the p51 that mullered them. Guess a little bit of research goes a long way


i wasn't so keen on the tempest though, i much preffered the typhoon. It looked so much better, much more beefy.

remember that B29 they found in the glacier, got it repaired etc only to destroy it while taxiing!!

******* idiots.

I'm not sure how much damage you could do on the ground. I'm sure it is, or will be airworthy. But yeah, what the hell were they doing?

And I know a flight or P-51s would equal a bad day for any flight of German fighters.

Don't know if it's of relevance or not, having not played the IL-2 in MP but in the "Pocket chapter" during the Campaign, I've found that the rear gun on the IL-2 was overdone, a couple of hits would send down a german fighters in flames. It's almost like I had a laser canon.

FWIW, I play on Sim.
