Holy shiznit. The 110, one of the most prominent planes on the east front, is STILL not flyable?

What kind of cheap russian crack are those guys smoking?

Yeah, a TB-3, or a P-47D-27 is much more important to include as flyable than the 110.

(Not that I'm knocking the P-47, it's a mutha-beautiful plane, but how common was it on the east front, compared to the 110?)

my post didn't include user made additions to planeset:

Right now I can remember some though:

Me 410
P-80
Go229
WW1 planes (Albatros, Spad, Anatra...)

Too many to remember, those will be added after FB though.

It wouldn't make much difference, I couldn't hit squat in a Bf-109 in IL2. And since when was the P-39 able to out spiral climb a Bf-109G?

If you'd know how to use it, it will not.

Yep Lazs, Fighter which had 38:1 K/D ratio, you'll gonna love that little bugger when dogfighting against Spits

Greg Boyington interviewed:

Quote

I remember asking him about the Brewster Buffalo (Then, Now and Always, my favorite aircraft). I had no sooner finished saying the word 'Buffalo', when he slammed his beer can down on the table, and practicaly snarled, "It was a DOG!" (His emphasis). Then he slowly leaned back in his chair and after a moment quietly said, "But the early models, before they weighed it all down with armorplate, radios and other toejam, they were pretty sweet little ships. Not real fast, but the little diddlys could turn and roll in a phonebooth. Oh yeah--sweet little ship; but some engineer went and diddlyed it up." With that he reached for his beer and was silent again. After that answer, I somehow had the feeling that I had just gotten a glimpse into Boyington's attitude towards life in general.

Only because the enemy overshot them low, near the ground, and subsequently augered.

lazs made a typo, he ment ugly planes, like this one:

Somebody is working on it, who knows, maybe it makes it in FB, but I doubt it

guess what is the best plane in IL-2 Sturmovik? ...the IL-2 itself. I was using it as a fighter and had a blast, those poor 109s were dropping like flies, including one from a collision that only bent a panel on my cowling.
If this is not biased, I don't know what else is.

And in Forgotton Battles FB will be the best plane

When I'm in a fighter, Il2s are the easiest things to take down.

When I'm in an Il2, I have no problem taking down other fighters and merrily blowing the crap outta my target..

Seriously, got 1600 points (strafed several Ju52s taking off, and shot down 3 already airborne fighters. 2 109s and a 190).. This was in a coop and the fighters were human controlled.

It's the most stable gun platform in the game, and has 23mm cannons in the wings(except the M3, which has 37mms slung underneath the wings)...

The Il2 isn't overmodelled. It's a great plane when used properly, it's a wallowing target when it's not.
