50/50? Sorry gotta raise the BS flag on that one. Even I get better than 50/50 against wirblys w a IL2. And I am really bad at it. Few weeks ago there was a post about a one shot kill on a T34 with a IL2. Now your really going to say that someone of your experiance only gets 50/50? IL2 and all these aircraft can kill many a good GV fight. The game balance between GVs and aircraft is way off.
Sorry mate gotta raise the flag back onya. Your chances against wirlies in an IL2 are so dim I basically leave them alone unless there is some over-riding need to come into them. By "Dim" I mean getting shot bad enough that you have to break off your attack, not only killed. Unless your one of these types that figures on suicide every time you go up then you had better find other things to do then come into experienced wirlie shooters when in IL2s.
But I only make a living hunting armor and Lynx is even better at it then I am. Both of us are easy to check up on and if your going to start waving the BS flag then put up your game name too to back up your flag. A big, slow airplane like the IL2 looks like a big Turkey from the gunsight of a wirlie.
Sure I have tricks against wirlies. But its easier to just let your own tanks take them. The thing is a properly constructed armored attack, with supporting flak, is a difficult nut to crack with air power alone, "especially with ords down". We have some wirlie shooters in the game who make the 1 on 1 odds, 1 wirlie vs 1 IL2, more like an 80 or 90% on the wirlies side.
Think a WW-2 tank or two would trot off on their own to attack an enemy airbase? So then why would you expect them to be able to do it in the game?
