Not only are the cannons uber the thing is immune to pintle gun fire.

I've never downed one with just the pintle gun, but I have hit the engine oil numerous times.  It has been my experience that once you smoke their engine, they either RTB (giving you a little time) or they end up auguring because of their reduced visibilty and you get the assist because somebody else put more rounds into him already  :O.

I don't even bother tanking near airfields anymore, even if it looks like a fun fight.

Il-2 needs a small perk.

Il-2 is fodder for any fighter.  You need air cover.

I was dogfighting a N1K in an IL-2 over one of our VB's one night.  He finally got me but it took about 5-10 minutes.  The IL-2's not a bad turn fighter but a little help is nice.

Better then bombs. You can take a tiger out in one pass with the IL-2's uber taters. On the other hand it takes great aim to kill a tiger with bombs unless you dive bomb it with heavys.

B-25H can kill a Tiger or T-34 in one shot as well. 

The problem isn't the IL2 but rather with the tank not having air support attacking a position that does.  Sounds like bad planning to me.

The new il2 is WAY to powerful. It blowing tanks up with ease left and right.Gun only. :furious

il2 was powerful long time before the last patch, but was not used as much, and i still prefer the old 23mm because can do almost same damage vs GVs, just takes more shells, but it's way more efficient than 37mm vs air cons picking gv hunters.

And how many tanks did you kill while they were covered by that N1K2?

I've been getting good at giving IL2 the gun.

face shooting an IL2 with the main gun is a gas.
