Ilyushin IL-10

Honestly? you have around 10 kills in it. I doubt any significant percentage of them are with the 75mm, let alone against fighters.

What name do you fly under?

I think we got off topic, and here to gets us back on topic, Mr Conway Twitty.



Hi, I'm Conway Twitty and I would like the Ilyushin IL-10 in Aces High.

[Ack-Ack]

or blowing planes out of the sky when in the hands of an experienced pilot

Just stop..Spikes is right. 

The 75mm cannon on the B-25H is basically worthless for anything other than ground attack.  If anyone gets a kill with the 75mm on a fighter, it was due to 1) extreme luck and 2) the enemy pilot being dumb.  You will be more successful in using the defensive guns (top, tail and waist turrets) in shooting down enemy fighters than you will with the 75mm.  I say this as a person with far more experience and success than you do in the B-25H.

Jeebus...you only have 4 kills, to 11 deaths in a B-25H this tour and I am willing to bet that each of the planes you shot down were with the defensive guns and not the 75mm.  I know, you'll claim that it was but I've fought against you.  I know how you fight and how bad you are at it, you did not shoot down any of those planes with a 75mm round.  Last tour you managed to get 9 kills in the B-25H to 26 deaths.  Again, each of those fighters were shot down with the defensive guns on the B-25H and not one with the 75mm.

This will put this debate to an end...post the films of you dogfighting and shooting down a maneuvering fighter with the 75mm cannon.

I have killed an F4-u with the 75mm......................... ...But I was attacking a destroyer when I heard a few pings then a screaming F4-4u overshoots straight into the 75mm I had just fired at the destroyer. We'll put that one down to dumb and lucky.

Well, if "manuvering" means slowly rolling down a runway to take off, I've got MORE than a few kills with the 75mm on fighters!

Ok seriously, enough of the B-25.

One time I had a typhoon dive on my b25H and over shoot, he then proceded to make a lazy horizontal turn 800 infront of me, I fired only the 75mm and got a direct hit. Now that was probably 75% luck and 25% his poor decision but it made my day. 

[321BAR]

I'd say at the least it's a 1 in 100 chance you'll hit a plane, I'm leaning more toward 1 in 500 chance.
On the contrary, the B25H is one of the most easiest planes in the game to kill, "when in the hands of an experienced pilot".

Well i must say i partially...gulp...agree with cobra here. With the 75mm you mean only HO 1-500 chance or actual fighting? Cuz in HOs i hit more planes than you'd think spikes

I mean get behind a fighter and fire just the 75mm at them from 200-1000 to whatever distance out.

ok agreed then. thank you for clarifying. Now im going to sleep and never waking up because i shoulda guessed that answer

[oakranger]

Why would it need to be perked?  Do you know why planes are perked in the first place?


ack-ack

Yea, are some AC perked? 

[jay]

would like this plane but would it also have the optional gun package (for tanks!)
