On the other hand... Il-2's serious competition would be from Ju-87.

Ju-87G's BK guns with tungsten rounds penetrate deeper and harder:uhoh

No serious competition.
The Il2 37mm can kill every tank currently in game, and the Sturmovik has more rounds and greater rate of fire while being more durable.

It's just speculation.

Ju-87G BK guns are known to be 1 hit wonders.  It's no wonder Hans Rudel destroyed 500+ tanks.

I'm afraid I'm going to stick to my trusty old B-25H for GV bustin', mostly out of sheer enjoyment  :D
Afk for a year or so.  The name of a gun turret in game.  Falanx, huh? :banana:
Apparently I'm in the 20th FG 'Loco Busters', or so the legend goes.

Playing around offline, the HurriD's 40mm still seem to turret and kill the tanks with fewer shots.

"Too bad we don't have the Ju-87G"

Indeed. Who asked for 37mms to IL-2 in the first place? I only remember seeing constant wishing for Ju87G.

Putting the big guns in IL-2 which is widely used in MA anyway is a bit strange choice since Ju87 we now have is not even the 20mm model with MG151/20s.  :huh

I hope we Luftweenies get either the 37mms or 20mms in Ju87...someday.

I was playing around offline, and for the first time ever, I killed a tiger with a plane's guns.

Thanks IL-2 :aok
