so worth it.
about 4 minutes of unstoppable speed and annoyance
watch it sailing off andddd yeaaa its slowly curving to the right andd its missing by a mile oh wait nm the blast radius got the target anyway!
then trying to glide back to base and 'land' that flip-prone pile
hahah how about the biplanes
I once did a biplane vs BF109 fight with a friend
and naturally, the biplanes weapons can't even dent the cockpit window of the BF109, what was it like 6mm machine guns?
so im like damn, well what else can I do, hey this biplane can take rockets.
Hu. timed fuse...
*turns on distance readout*
i loved the mig 3u vs bf109 fights
so, a bf109 is going to be doing uhhh 200m/s (I forget the exact numbers but whatever) on avg
and im doing 100m/s....
rockets made it worthwhile, frustratingly slow though
err rockets did <whatever speed>
so I did the math, and fired rockets directly at him with 1 second time delayed fuse
yawing measured in minutes to try and line up carefully
they detonated right after passing his wings and took him out :p
first try
satisfaction
he was like "WTF HAPPENED"
"Science"
Another great story
following an AI following my wingman
run outta ammo because im an idiot
"uhhh, wingman, your going to have to figure it out yourself.. I ran outta ammo" "damnit"
But I decide to keep following the AI, practice my dog fighting
whats the worst that could happen right.
Well, I didn't notice the AI suddenly slowing down after a manuver and got just a wee bit too close.
clipping wings is an artform
pushed forward hard on the stick at the last second to avoid the collision and *smash*
mig3u was a battering ram that refused to go down vs the 109's
"Crap crap crap *turn around* Crap.. well.. just my rudder, im ok, im ok"
while im still looking back, I see the enemy aircraft, missing his entire tail
pitch forward through my vision :p
"Welp, I took care of that bogey on your tail" "I thought you said you where outta ammo" "I was.. uh, Lemme land first, I'll tell you about it after I get back down"
'just.. gimme a minute here this is gonna a sloppy one'
naturally, I made a bloody mess of the runway but whatever :
heinkel lerche
that was always the best too
injured aircraft go first.
i recall making ONE successful landing with it
then everyone else has to avoid all the debris everywhere
what was the heinkel?
vtol
Oh that thing LOL yea

with its wire guided rockets of wtf is this thing good for.
50/50 you die on takeoff
tipped over like a glass of water by a cat
how about the.. BF109 configuration (or was it FW90?) with 5 MK108's
or was that the dual BF109
yea I think it was the dual one. I loved that thing.
less twitchy for my flying skill than the original, fun
opps..
'handicapped' fights were the best, everyone in a bomber/something goofy and badly suited
the flashbacks
4 MK108 + MK109 for good measure
they really got the firepower feel/effectiveness right
Another fav of mine. 2 x MK108 + IIRC 2x 20mm and 2x 12mm
the BF109 had like a 3x MK108 and 2x 12mm or was it 20mm config too
what game is this?
yea there we go lol.
this is IL2 üôÇ
8 12~20mm cannons, because, reasons.
mig 3u, grey/blue for life, i vaguely remember the heavier loadouts affecting roll a little in a way i didnt like
Yea I rarely did the gunpods they sucked, MK108 for life
land one shot on any fighter and bye bye.
2~4 takes out any bomber lol
just shredded 109s
freaken 30mm HE rounds ftw.
basically like shooting grenades at people.
Only issue was only having like 100 rounds a gun, if you where lucky lol
@void loop ( ) If you have never played IL2, get it NOW
mig3u would just absorb hit after hit, maybe lose one aileron for what would take the wings off a 109
it has like, 100 fully flyable aircraft with cockpits, all with awesome damage modeling
its ancient, you can mod it to absolute hell
theres mods? lol
and i think its working in vr now too
oh god
are there ever
Is there a mod to get data readout working in MP? LOL
I had a LCD that would display my fuel stats and precise oil/water temps and such
but it didn't work in MP cause they turn off readout
il2?
yes
is it free?
No.
IL-2 Sturmovik 1946
then i cant get it
https://store.steampowered.com/app/15320/IL2_Sturmovik_1946/
i got $0.01
literally
k well some other time then üôÇ
if your into flight sims at all, or just flying around, being shot at and trying to land with holes in your wings, or just crashing into the ground lol, its great.
more planes, newer planes, new maps, sooo many mods
how do you need MORE planes lol
also I hate modern flight sims
no skill
just look at the enemy.. on BVR radar readout screen
