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.
