IL-2
« on: August 17, 2011, 05:04:43 PM »
I need some side mirrors or something flying that thing sux now. I cant see the tanks, I cant see the airplanes, just gauges and a ton of armor.

In real life you could move around to get your view, but I dont have time to move my head to the right spot while dodging fighters/ tanks and wirbs.

I have been giving the il2 a shot for some days and it feels great, its hard i can tell you that! but i don't use it for dogfigths and etc, just tank busting.
The difficulty of SA makes it funner IMO

I do agree with Vu about how horrendous the views are in that darn IL2...even with views set! Would be nice now that the F3 View has been removed to maybe allow the views to be tweaked just a tad so you can have just a bit better SA.

As a gver I'm glad the thing takes more skill to fly now. F3 mode should be removed in all ac as far as I can tell.

You are trying to tell us you do not know how to look out the windows?  Are you setting your views?  Try it, the Il-2 really does not have that much worse views of anything else save for the view out the back.  Then again, the Il-2 has a gunner.

Or..... try the Hurricane IID.  It works wonders as well.   :aok

It's not made for air to air combat, you sacrifice visibility for armor.

look guys I may have been born at night but it wasn't last night, Yes I set the views and whiny players nerfed the IL2 because they were dumb enough to get shot down by one.
I very rarely used it as a fighter because frankly it sucks at that (ill use a Brewster WAY better) but now I do not have time to hop in the gunner pos. do evasives then find a moving ground tgt at about 100ft with whatever terrain is in the area. plus dodge f'in wirbles.

you can see well out of the front and the 3 and 9 0'clock positions you can also see well above you. and that would be fine if attacking a/c were always in front of you. to the six you have almost nothing and like wise with the 5 and 8 oclock views you can see back and down but not up were the bad guys are coming from. and I dont drive gvs but you cats got the commander view so yall can move better and now were goin to limit the views on the IL2 an no I'm not flyin the bofor with wings, rather have a hurri1.

yes but in real life you would be able to move your head around, you would also have a tail gunner....

set the gunner/pilot view to stick.  that's what i have, I dont get killed often.  really hate to tell you but mirrors will never be introduced to ah since they were never part of the airplane anyway.  il2 is great for practicing SA, if you get killed often, then you should perhaps reconsider upping il2s when there's lots of red planes around, or get better at SA.

you dont want me to ho, dont point your plane at me.
