IL2 VS Tiger

[ghi]

The answer is to take out ord and bomber hangars when doing tank attack on a field.

 or drive Jeeps, i can't catch them in il2

LYNX you probably remember last night, your Il2 vs my 262 where I had nothing but a spiky mouse (no rudder) as controller.. Put some BBs in me but no 37mm hit, this from medium range with your well-honed aim.  More evidence: "They are pretty precise if you come directly down on target".  What are the odds an Il2 will survive through a WW's bullet stream long enough to do that?

Lots of dispersion, a big and slow platform, little ammo, all this VS a rock solid platform, tons of ammo, high ROF and easy ballistics and long reach.. I don't think the Il2 is anything to worry about unless the guy in the AAA is drunk or green.

In my opinion, the IL2 gives new usefulness to our old friend the Ostwind.

As I've said before....The Ostwind is a very good "equalizer" against the IL-2. I've seen IL-2's soak up alot of 20mm from Wirbles and keep going, but 1 or 2 pings from a 37mm from an Osti pretty much "squares it away".

When I had my WW "fever" I had a hard time killing IL-2's even with multiple hits at multiple passes. That changed when I decided to go back to the Osti. IL-2's are slow and easy to hit from 1.5K or closer. I agree with the other posters that perking the IL-2 is not necessary.

Same as I said in the other thread.  Fighters ignore noe Il-2s when there are higher bandits around.

Perk the Il-2.

nope, remove the GVs (all of them)

and that is 95%  of the community

There is always the IID. Ahhh tank plinking at it's finest.

yup its shweet, but slightly less effective than the il2 i think. not sure though

[sirvlad]

I still don`t think that shooting any tank in it`s turret would cause the tank to exploded into nothing. PING PING TOWER WTF  Guess
I need 2nd account soi can take a wirb or osti with me

 And I betcha the same logic can be applied to people taking out CVs.

* Don't use stupid tactics of parking them 5 miles from the beach
* Find the stooges who'd make the noble sacrifice of flying high-alt screening CAP against any inc. buffs

 ... but we still have regular ruckus on the boards with everybody chiming in to protest how buffs killing CVs are no fun.. and they should be regulated in some manner.


 ..


 Anyone see the irony here?

I really think the IL2 is perfect, just because one tank shouldn't be able to take out a base. If you want to do something productive, bring your wirb friends, because think of the situation for the other guy, he is just defending his own base. I don't even bring tigers to bases, they are too slow, use um for defending

Or a squaddie. People often forget its a MULTIPLAYER game that requires COOPERATION. If you want an attack to succeed you need different people that fit in different ROLES.

What the heck is up? I lost 2 tigers in 2 days from il2 cannons,no bombs and both times they got me in 1 pass.Why even have a tiger anymore,seems kinda useless now.How come this hasn`t happened in the last 7 years i been playing.Was the il2 wrong befor,if so what other planes are not correct?This really has me psst! I`m thinking about cancelling my account since tank`n is what I enjoy the most.

jeeze dude!!

get an escort then. bring a whirble, or an m16 with ya.  problem solved.

[CAP1]

It doesn't need to be perked.  We have already proven that, don't see why you must bring out the bat and beat the dead horse again.


ack-ack

it's not dead...it twitched 

[SD67]

If your plane or vehicle is as good as dead, it explodes.  This includes the pilot dying or otherwise being incapacitated (shell shock in tanks, or bloody pulp from Me163 hi-speed stick stir), and probably does include the turret operator being a couple of inches from a volley of well placed armor piercing rounds.
