Not only are the cannons uber the thing is immune to pintle gun fire.
The oil bin is still as exposed as ever. 
Like I said in the other thread, the Il2 is a flying piece of trash.. Just have a WW around (gasp "teamwork") and at best it dies disabling the WW turret.  The tank the WW's covering can almost ignore the Il2; save for dive bombing attacks.

Just like Bronk, you're pathetically trolling.  Nice try. :aok

What? You say..

The last time we discussed this topic, it was pretty easy to figure out that everyone who was against perking the Il-2 spent little or zero time in tanks.  Imagine that. Wink

I as one who have more overall GV time than you doesn't want a perk. That constitutes trolling? Ahhh I see pointing out the inaccuracies of your statements is now trolling. Welcome to Krusty status. I bet your knowledge of the arboreal is quite extensive also. :rolleyes:

Your just lucky they didn't have the patients to learn the IID.

I love the IID but it's horribly vulnerable to any kind of ground fire, unlike the IL2.

No, I was referring to what you were dong to bipolar in the other il-2 thread.  Pretty easy to figure that one out.

I'd say I have more overall time in GVs than you (dec 04). I don't want em perked.
Care to rethink your post?

If that's what counts as point out my inaccuracies, I don't deny that you have more gv time than me, but you have almost none since the new Il-2 came out.  Representing yourself the way you did here is a bit disingenuous.

I got popped in a tiger by Lusche with an Il2. It's still the same big and slow bird that needs to very precisely and predictably make its gunning approach.. AAA fodder. Just have an Ostie or WW on standby like they did historicaly.  There's no sense in complaining that gameplay is shifting towards more teamwork, more bullets flying around blowing toejam up.

I routinely take damage to the oil or radiator from mg fire in the Il2. The claims of the Ils being impervious to pintle/turret mgs is quite an exaggeration.

But it's easier to claim that in an attempt to get the IL2 perked so some wouldn't have to waste valuable brain cells coming up with sound tactics that deal with an air threat.  Wouldn't be surprised if those whining to perk the IL2 are the same that want the Spitfire Mk XVI, LA 7, etc., perked.

I was the one that said that and I don't think the IL2 needs to be perked.

I've been flying the IL2 quite a bit since the revision and I haven't been damaged by pintle fire yet, even though I've taken a lot of it.  The worst damage I've seen so far is a hole in the windscreen glass.  I did however get taken out by a Panzer's main gun on an incredibly lucky crossing shot.
