Perk it!

wrong...LVT4 kills town faster than anything

I would have to disagree with you  ........you cant tell me three LVT4'z can take a Town faster than three Whirbels or Osti'z for that matter...

[Ack-Ack]

Don't tell me i'm the only one that remembers how deadly the Osti USED to be?

Nope, I remember when the Ostie used to be the primary GV used in the game because it would kill anything in a couple of shots, including the Panzer.  I also fondly remember the whines of panzer drivers crying how an Ostie killed them with a couple of shots.

How did this turn into another "perk the IL2" thread?

The only posts in this thread that mention perking the IL2 have come from you.  Just sayin'

LVT 4 has a rate of fire like an M8.   But the HE round of a tank.  2 shots and buildings go boom.  Not to mention secondary effect from large shell weakening the surounding buildings or knocking out soft guns.

M8 ABOUT 6 or 7 shots per building

Wirble about 18 or so per

Osti I think (been a long time) is the same as the M8

Nope, still active till AH dose something with the WW.  Getting shot down 2-3 k above them is a bit to try to destroy them.

Kills outside of 1.5k are near impossible, outside of 1.7k totally impossible.  This is fact I know with hundreds of Wirbelwind kills per tour under my belt.

Stretching the truth a bit aren't you?  Beyond d1.5, the WW is rather ineffective.

3k feet of altitude is 1k yards of distance

So yes, you can be shot down 3K above a Wirbelwind 


Just saying...

CC Lusche.  If you stay at 4500 feet altitude above a Wirbelwind, you are basically safe.

I'll hop on the "fix it, dont perk it" bandwagon. 

Above all, the wirby and the Osty should NOT be able to fire unchecked without a reload.  I've forgotten the number of rounds each mag in a Wirblewind or Ostwind could hold, but even with a man on each side reloading a pair of 20mm guns, they are not going to fire contiously due to the over-heating issues.  Currently, the wirby is a 3200rd liquid nitrogen cooled piece of hardware.

Fix the effect of all small caliber guns in this game . Kind of silly that the guns on a PT boat can harm a heavy cruiser . Won't go into the fact that they can sink it . Then fix the fact that a main gun on a tank can kill an airplane in flight .

Thank you for the back up.  Yes, i have been hit 2-3k and even shot down a few times.

Why? A 75mm should make no impression on a plane?
