in which view?

normal, zoom or super duper zoom or does the relative size not change regards of zoom level?

Good point, I dunno... but at the "normal" view (furthest one back in the seat) is where I do all of my gunnery... unless I'm sniping, but I only use light caliber weapons for that.

Well in IL-2 I have found that both German and Russian MG rounds tend to start a fire quicker than the cannon rounds do. I guess it has to do with the different types of ammo for the cannon versus the tracer ammo for the MG's.

I guarantee you that cannon rounds will impact and start a fire, so long as you hit the plane's fuel tanks.

In the MiGs, the wings. In the LaGG... well inner wings.. P39, engine block (behind the pilot), I16... seems since it was made flyable doesn't catch on fire too much anymore... but behind the pilot, below the headrest.

Shoot the 109 pilot in the anus, and the plane will catch on fire. There are very few planes impervious to fires, but almost all of 'em catch fire regardless of the round that hits... so long as the proper area is hit.

Hitting at, or close to, convergence settings is icing on the cake. Almost always will result in structrual failure of that part.

If Online track recording had been included in Il2, I could create a track showing you all that I am not toejamting you nor is this some kind of blind fan attack episode...

You all should know by now I am very skeptical when it comes to games.. and I have been very skeptical of Il2... I have even owned it and played it since release.

Only now, almost a year later, am I actually beginning to enjoy/appreciate the game.

BTW- my handle on hyperlobby is Au'GRR.
