Am I being Cheap...

[Ancient Seraph]

Nope. I'd consider you an easy target .

Bottom line; Play the game however you have the most fun playing.

Cheers!

Despite what some people say, I really don't think there is any one uberplane out there. It really depends on the pilot. Take for instance the object of the most recent gripe fest, the I-153. In skilled hands it is a nasty opponent in a dogfight. In not so skilled hands or if you know how to counter it, it's meat. Just don't worry about it man, people are gonna gripe no matter what.

I enjoy it a lot, fly what you want. It's my first choice in CTA so I can capture and then cover with the rear gunner. It's supposed to be tough, which is perfect for that game type.

I love it when players come in my room with bombers, I had a good time last night with some players from outback and the UK. You can learn tactics this way.
The FW-190D-9 or Ta-152 will make quick work of the bombers, come in from the sides, bottom and top.

Is the IL2 counted as a bomber in the game or a fighter?

To tell the truth, I do feel a bit embarrassed when I'm flying my IL2 and im getting raped from behind but receiving little damage. Especially when flying on Sim with King Jareth and Pedro the Goat, We usually have limited ammo and that makes it impossible for one person alone to down it before they run out of guns. I haven't unlocked the IL2-M and I'd feel super guilty flying backwards in a straight line just sitting in the gunners seat with the button pressed. Very little skill needed. I definitely wouldn't fly with friends and do it.

Fighter/Bomber-attack plane-Battle planes as anton says.

Coming from a Soviet Ace () I have to say no like the rest. It's not your fault that the developers made the Soviet planes a better opponent. And it's not your fault that you like the Soviet planes. So no, your not cheating by what they give you.
