Title: new Il-2
Post by: Pannono on April 05, 2008, 03:15:47 PM
Il-2 Type 3M
37 mm NS-37 cannons instead of 23 mm VYa cannons
the 23mm are virtually useless against medium/heavy tanks in AH unless u hit em in tracks or in "special" spot all tanks have

1.)  If you can't hit with 23's ya ain't gonna hit with 37's

2.)  If you can't take out a tank with the 23's you are doing it wrong. 


Probably comes in on the deck, no wonder he can't take out a tank, or tracks them.

Best place to hit it the top of the turret, dive in at about a 45degee angle. Or you can come in low and hit them in the engine. All you really need if a few shot's on the turret to smoke it. Or if you come in at a steeper angle, shooting them in the turret will kill them.

Since I mention it in every Ju-87G thread I come across, I should probably mention it here too:

It would be great to have both the Ju-87G and IL-2M3 in the same update.

The NS-37 is simply the coolest gun evar (fact, not opinion) :)

i hit with the 23mms they are just not terribly effective against heavy armor like panzers and tigers

You can smoke the turret, track them and kill the engine all with the IL2... just come in at a higher angle and aim for the flat back side behind the turret.  You can do it. :aok

It can surprise you, but 23mm in AH quite effective against all tanks while in RL it was "virtually useless against medium/heavy tanks"  :lol

I fly Bish but if you want you can fly with me some time. As long as Panzers and M4's are roaming around should be an easy 4 kills. I never carry ord in an IL-2 cause the guns take care of business.

I can kill panzers, Osti,  whirlybirds and the rest of the lesser armored GV's with the 23's. T-34's and Tigers are much harder for me but know people do kill them with the 23's. The rockets are usless for me, but again people do get kills with them.

Just use the B25H. You can pop turrets on flacks from 3k out and kill tigers, shermies, t34s, and panzers in one shot. I love killing M3s from 3-4k out with a round right by them.

                        I'd love to get good with the B-25H gun but the thing looks like a pregnant perodactyl with a load in his pants coming into AA guns and its so darn easy to shoot up. I dont think Ive ever seen a B-25H enter a fracas and fly out alive.

I've tracked a fresh Tiger in one pass with a 190A8 before. Minimal expenditure of ammo resulting in a disabled Tiger and the capture of a base.

You just need to hit from the right angle
