Citabria your suggestion is laughable at best.

I only fly the Il2 online, its the only thing that is left un-touched in this game that is still fun. Removing or limiting bombers even more is the fastest way to remove peoples enjoyment out of the game.

Current score stats:
ID:NoYou

Il2 kills: 51
Deaths: 17

Back when i used to play AH the Il2 was my favorite plane to take up during a vulch or base defense scenario. it is very dangerous.

Last evening I flew but one IL-2 sortie. Popped a Ki-84 and a Seafire. I switched to a Tiffie to break up a CV horde, and then to a Yak-9T. Finally, I switched to and Bf 110G-2 to end the night. Had fun... Found myself in an HO on a C-hog with the Tiffie (I won that one, barely). I saw several IL-2s working over GVs, so I joined to slaughter with the 110 for a bit. Was an entertaining evening.

IL-2s are fun aircraft, capable of handing out serious abuse to anyone who underestimates them.

My regards,

Widewing

Sure, it would be nearly blind aft of its 3/9 line. That is why the F3 option exists, simulating the vision of a crew member. However, I believe that when the pilot uses the F3 view, his forward guns (and ordnance) should be disabled. This would force pilots back into the cockpit to shoot, bomb or fire rockets.

My regards,

Widewing

You drop bombs from the F3 View?I mainly just use F3 for manuvering.

After readinf this thread a couple of days ago, I decided to give the IL2 a try, got fried every time, no kills just an easy target.

I saw that SpikesX.

I was gonna throw you a WTFG on 200, but I was sort of engaged at the time and couldn't type.

So here it is here instead-

WTFG SpikesX!

~~Goat1- that was pretty much my experience as well.~~

couple of thoughts and observations:
Disable F3 for IL2, and do not allow any plane to take on less than 50% fuel in any of the main arenas.

I have shot tails and wings off of IL2s and watched as players gently floated down and exited with a ditch. Something in that FM is queer.

hubsonfire · « **Reply #42 on:** June 27, 2007, 10:53:50 AM »

Why just 50%? Why not maximum fuel in everything?

Goat1 · « **Reply #43 on:** June 27, 2007, 12:27:42 PM »

How is F3 disabled?

Watch Ghi or Widewing ...there are a few others whose names don't come to mind at moment--they NEVER go vertical, always stay near deck--harder to get a sustained burst into one that way---and if ya DONT kill it with that burst, he can put his nose on ya and open up long before ya are out of his kill envelope.
