The tail wheel in the IL2 seems to have too much bounce when you taxi across the grass.

I landed an IL2 the other night and taxied across the grass to the refuling pad.  The tail bounced up and down like a basketball, untill my prop stuck the ground.

If no one else has noticed this, maybe I was just going to fast.  It just didn't look right to me.  Maybe I hit a goffer hole :)

no, the IL-2 does suffer from a lot of nose bounce.  Have to be real easy on the brakes to keep from striking the prop on the ground.

I also got that last night bounced like a Basket ball till hit prop, but look on brightside got to ditch 4 kills instead of landing them.
