these two planes dont exist in the MA.

yet their perk values are way low.

suggest upping their values to very high levels

eny 40

obj 30

since after all these 2 planes are ground attack aircraft and not at all used in MA.

this gives me a reason to fly them.

(and you know I will if you up their perk values :D )

il2 gets used only as last ditch field defender when fh's dead.

but its never used much as an offensive weapon

Uh oh... I agree with Festabria... :)

Along with corrected ENY/OBJ values I would really love some more loadout options for the F8!! - How about some Bombtorpedos, Airtorpedos, 1000kg bombs, Panzerblitz etc. ... :D

Totally agree fester, however i use the 190f8 quite often.
the iL2 is pretty useless though.Its as weak as any other plane but has nothing major in respect to advantages to make us fly it.

Id really like to see the Il2 be beefed up in durability.

It in no way matches the stories i keep reading about it.bullets bouncing off, almost impossible to shoot down unless specific areas are targeted etc.

also the 190f8 being 'supposedly' the strenghened airframe, shouldnt it feel considerably more durable than other 190s?

i think AH is really missing out in this area in general.Whether this is due to the accumalitive DM rather than a true calculated DM i dont know but i suspect it is so.

Id like to see those aircraft known for their strengh and durability become just that, strong and durable.Ive said it before but its called a whine when really i honestly think it would improve the game by making ground attack planes actually feel like they were built for the job.

The P47 is a perfect example of a AH aircraft that feels like the aircraft i read about in books.Its exceedingly durable and its engine runs for ages with oil damage, as it should do.
The p38 on the other hand, whilst i agreed the tail was too glasslike before, I fel now it is too tough.Have any of you noticed it doesnt matter where you hit it the two wing fuel tanks will leak first before it is shot down? Its almost like it has 2 free hits before the real damage is calculated.and btw i do have film of this happening in the sicily scenario.

Here here!  I concur.  The Oragami IL-2 is maddening.  I've read these incredible accounts of IL-2 taking enormous fire and making it home.  

I can't tell you how many times I've dove in on an M3 only to find his *mighty* 50 cal has torn me to sawdust....grrr

(How IS it they always hit the tail from the front?)

The F8 is a lot fo fun too.

But yes yes, please, the Il-2 needs its armor checked.  I suspect there is balsa wood where armor should be  :D
