It's control is currently a bit primitive in such that it 'over controls' then 'over corrects' resulting in jerky movements.

The worst moment for the AI is when 'bandits' are called out. They all get crazy, scatter, chop throttles, drop flaps, roll, barrel and frequently crash into one another. Absolute chaos.

For the AI, would it be possible to keep them from spamming their ammo at longer ranges then are normally effective?

I rarely if ever fire at a plane at past .2KM, and especially the shkas stream is just waste at .6KM or farther.

Ive been playing some offline campaigns honing air combat skills and just hate watching the stream of shkas from well out of effective range.

Im not sure how exactly it can be edited but it would make the most sense for the ai to differentiate cannons from mgs and at the same time engage fighters much closer while attacking bombers from farther off to avoid their defenses

Again im not 100% sure how realistic pilots do it but i personally find the spamming of ai to be a bit annoying and ofc it always if fun to laugh at the pilot who just watsed their entire clip trying to hit me from .6KM away....



Ohh also one more thing that drives me nuts is the MG81 on bombers, shooting from farther away then the bullets themselves even go. Id personally increase the mg81's range and firepower just a bit to make it a useful weapon for defensive fire. But as it is i have to say at least make the turrets not shoot unless target will actually be hit by a bullet or 2.....

Ohh and im not sure if i mentioned this before but please add a 2nd top gunner to the ju88 especially the late torp one which doesnt have a bottom gunner

Il2 lacks of 2 things IMHO:
-Radar, that it s a WIP by DT I think.
-Recce camera. My wish is a recce camera. I dont know how, maybe a modified bombsight, a super zoom view, perhaps as loadout of a few planes as Spitfires, Fockes, P-38 or Mosquitos...A real recce mission, that makes you sweat, get in the bad guys nest, take a few shots and get away as quickly as you can. Could be very usefull for campaings in coop mission, I know several ones that could take benefit from an adition like that.
I really don t know if DT members read this thread, but I will be glad to collect info if needed.
A very good web about aerial recon:
