P.S.
Couple oh thought about I153 (because u mentioned in your first post) and I16... hope not to be off topic here... a lot of people, specially new players, tends to think that those plane are the most easy to fly and strongest of the whole game, probably because they judge a fighter combat potential just by its turning speed/radius. Having this idea, reveal that those players probably think about a dogfight in a 2 dimensional way only, not taking in consideration that you might need to climb fast sometimes.

I personally think that flying those plane is not easy at all, and quite challenging, their turning ability it's the only good things on them ( in my opinion ), climbing speed ratio is very low and most of the time you have to fly close at stall speed into that. Their survivability is low, and the engine sometimes blew up or turn off on negative G. I never had much kills into those, i fly simulator only, but i admit they are very funny and challenging to fly, specially in cockpit view. Key to win against those is not to get stuck in a turn fight, and it's a pretty easy things to achieve that while flyng a faster plane than I16 I153 series. The I153 is even slower than I16.... i would never take off into one of that, feeling like to be in a "flying potato", like a friend french ace would say...

hello friend italian ace!!

totally agree with u,the only one good thing of the i153 and i16 is the turning speed radius.
in 1 vs 1 it is easy i think to beat those 2 planes (but careful ,their rockets can be deadly)just do a head to head attacks all the time and never accept the dogfight.the 153 or 16 can't resist against a me109g6 ,fw190 or spit fire power.
in a ""many players" games ,it is hard to win against them cause the players who use this planes have an advantage because of their turning radius...and many targets are in the sky for them.

That's a great picture Olife. Was it drawn by someone who plays BoP based on the game?

Edit: looking at the date on the website I see it's not. Some fab characatures on there. I love the HE111

hello ace!

i don't know exactly if it is based on the game,but i don't think cause this drawing seems to be of the year 2007 exept if it based on the il2 games series on pc,but i m not sure it is based on a video game.

good post dk.

I paid money at the store for this game. And it came with all these planes so people will fly what they want. They earned it.

True ...... very true, so basically what you're saying you really dont mind being cheated of kills????

360 n Ps3At the end of the day "you earned it". You're on some ones ass for a good few mins a good tussle only for them to get low drop bombs lower undercarridge for them to crash. How annoying is that dude/duddete, thats my question to you.

But there are some epic points raised.


360 n Ps3. Also courtesy, if you clatter (crash, run into) someone a quick message containing sorry or apologies goes along way we have all gotten a lil to upclose and personal and have clipped wings .............. head ons are head ons if you aint going to back down or move neither im i........... and i dont expect the other guy to do the same!

The above echos crashing while trying to bail either message or wait till the next lobby. Ive kicked myself from games trying to get the bail button


Ps3 - Bombs in CTA's yawns o'clock very boring as is bombers in CTA's and dogfights. I know its only a game but seriously


Could be the same on 360 and Ps3. The host could be trying to organise something historical so please tune in............... im aware there are various nationalities but look at the board in the lobby usually the best hint. so a small collection of H111's bf110 and 3/4 bf109's V's 3spits 2 hurri's and a I153. host aint going to start then changing to a B17 or Fw190 La5 ........... ect ect he still aint going to start lollol

Hmmmm.....CTA is a funny thing...BoP version of "the whackey races" me thinks.....same as bobbysocks say's...never played a game that I was not bombed or rocketed into the turf !


Now...Number 1 unwritten rule for me is...Please dont bring Rockets into a dogfight....take me out because you can out-turn, out-shoot, out-wit me and you Sir are the better pilot.... Roast WildBoar is best cooked on a medium heat.... not by lighting up one of ya 12 Roger Ramjet Bazooka's and stuffing it up my Backside (wide as it is ! )

Rant Over ..........Love The Game to Bits !

I found this thread very useful. I was doing some of the nono's and didn't even think twice about it. I always used bombs in CTA, but now that I've read this, I kind of understand why they are frowned upon.

I made a thread (without researching too much, sorry) about people kamikazing me in CTA. Is this frowned upon as well?

I'd say all the Vets here put down a list and maybe dkwookie can construct it in his main post. I would love to see this as a sticky, as I'm new and found it very useful.

[McQ59]

Kamikaze is desperate practice and deff frowned upon. Big time!
That said... It's of course room for the occasional accident, but when it tends to be the pattern I change tactics and go killstreak on the rammer...

[Cryptic Phant0m]

I will change my tactics right away, for I am one of those players that try to crash into the planes. But I will cease with that tactic since people frown at that, though I have never heard anyone complain about it.

The no bombs on CTA is a new one for me though, every game I have played in CTA we have always used bombs.

[Willie-Wall]

Let me sum up what I went through for ten mins. I spawned and captured an airfield. (This is 2v1 me being the 1.) Then both of them land to take it back over, I knocked one out but the other regained control.

The guy I killed spawned and ran straight into me. (My fault becasue I wasn't pay attention above.) I spawn after that and land to cap the airfield. All the sudden boom he dives into me. After this it is nothing but the same process repeated. I would try different approaches to land but as soon as I did, boom. He would run into me.

I would have killed this guy, but I had a bomber and he had a some sort of plane like the P-51B. I nailed him a couple of times and landed right after, but he spawned so close, no matter what I couldn't take the airfield.

Now I see a kamikaze work in a few situations thats passable for me, but it repeated like that killed the fun I was having in the match.
