  1. A brave IL-2 Sturmovik pilot provides close air support! The Russian ground troops are attacking a German Supply depot, unfortunately the attack is repelled by strong German fortifications. A lone IL-2 Sturmovik is called in to provide whatever assistance it can. Loaded with 6 bombs, 4 rockets, 300 cannon shells and around 1000 machine gun bullets.
  2. I'm starting to think playing in the ground attack role is more fun then playing as a pure fighter? Or, maybe it is just the fact I cant Dogfight to save myself! :pilot: I have a short compilation of some of the ground Attacks I have done! :cool:
  3. Every now and then I get strafed on landing. Would be good to know how chttps://youtu.be/8EF4lGkoTdw
  4. Anyone know if the 262 was taken down in a dogfight? I seem to get done on the landing when using the Me-262.
  5. I was in a bf-110 one side of the flaps got blown off also half of the rudder. In any event I put flaps at 100%. Well, this made the plane want to roll violently over. You can see the landing in the vid. I’m now thinking maybe it would have been a good idea to raise flaps. Anyone been in this situation before?
  6. A compilation involving the demise primarily of He-111's. New damage model updates in this patch.
  7. First time I got some debris to hit my engine. Totally destroyed the prop. Anyone know if this was common in ww2?
  8. Seems like ALOT of fire will hit you when you bail due to the wind pushing the flames directly over you? I have been trying to bail more often then land when on fire. I have noticed in IL-2 you have a certain amount of time before the plane explodes violently. Probably because it reached the main fuel tanks? The explosion isn't small it usually blows both wings off
  9. some more LOW ALTITUDE BAIL OUTS! Bomber SPECIAL! IL-2 sturmovik
  10. instead of crash landing and exploding I have be trying to bail out more often! anyone have rules what height/min height to bail at?
  11. Just got the P-40 been flying it abit. Seems to me the 50 cals do great work against bombers like the he-111. Does anyone know if the P-40 ever had cannon fitted to it? I find it easier to hit targets with 50cals. I think that’s due to the immense amount of tracer, makes it way easier to walk fire on to target. Also Im finding more targets are getting set on fire! The landing gear seem stout aswell no problems landing on dirt roads. IL-2 Crashes 'n' Fails
  12. I have been flying the ju-88 abit lately. I find it tends to catch fire easier then the he111. It seems less durable then the he-111. Also, it seems less stable then the he-111 when at slower speeds. Particularly landing. Overall I find it harder to land then the 111. as for pros it seems alot faster and agile at faster speeds. crashes 'n' fails il2 battle of Stalingrad
  13. When in clouds I tend to rely on the artificial horizon to remain level. However, as can be seen in the video I always tend to loose my bearings when I look away. What can I do to get the artificial horizon back to straight and level?
  14. I just started with the ju-52 and the flap selection is rather different then the other bombers and fighters. Seems you need to move the horizontal stab after activating the flaps. My question is do many of you here use the flaps at all? Seems the junkers can slow down pretty good and seems to float pretty well at low speeds. the only real reason I have found that I needed flaps was for short runways with rather steep approaches like below.
  15. Hope everyone has a great new year!
  16. I think cannon fodder would be a great title for the vid! hope you dont mind if I use it!
  17. I remember someone saying that only the elite where picked to fly the bombers he111 at first
  18. Does upgrading the weapons of the he-111 to cannon really help any when fighting off fighters? What do you guys think ? are you ever worried when attacking the he-111? For me when there is a lone 111 i'm not that concerned, however, if there is a formation I usually sustain alot of damage.
  19. When fire consumes a plane should you bail out or land? In this crashes 'and' fails volume I decided the best option was to try and land the plane while it was on fire. The game is il-2 'Battle of Stalingrad'
  20. had to try some out of box thinking to avoid these fighters
