Don't bother putting bullets into his tail or the outter part of his wings if you can help it. Aim for the heart the aircraft! That is the engine, the pilot, and the center/roots of the wings. Galaga Galaxian posted: Ok, I can kinda fly now, but I can't seem to hit poo poo with my guns! It's scary as hell and I'm not sure I want to do it anymore but Nothing else feels like flying compared to this.

Your hands will hurt - your gritted teeth will hurt - you sweat like a dog and you swear an oath to him that you will kill anyone who looks at your little plane funny. You love that airplane - he's your dog and you are his human and it's the two of you fighting for your lives against The War. It's animalistic and pulsing and so strange, this palpable moment, to stare death in the face for a second of eternityĪs sitting alone in this magic trashcan, built of pencils and old clothes, and ride in to the valley of death. Honest-to-god just wanting to flee from this horrible war and questioning every single decision you made up to this point. Actual dread, because your enemies flying World War 1 insanity boxes at you does that.

Nothing but an unarmored wicker basket, open sky, two stark machine guns, and you. An actual pounding adrenaline rush in a video game, I'd never experienced something like that before.Įxactly that but in a Fokker Dr.I going up against Camels made me feal actual dread before starting -every- mission. Yesterday I was in a Spitfire duel, bandit on my tail, in a super intense flat scissors just off the deck, just looking everywhere to keep him in sight while avoiding a crash. It's useful and really ups the immersion. I also go myself a TrackIR, and after several hours, I'm now used to it. Really smooth is the best way I have to describe it: only when pushed to the absolute limits will it try to become a handful. Got Bodenplatte for Christmas, and I must say that the Spitfire Mk IX is just so much fun.

It is inherently fun to fly, so that's not saying much. It is extremely funny trying to fly it in that configuration. You can load up the P-38 with 4,000 pounds of bombs, which is almost as much as a B-17 holds. Trillhouse fucked around with this message at 19:23 on Dec 30, 2020

Pistols still cause full damage to aircraft (can cause fuel leaks etc)Īny aircraft with only LMG or HMG AP cause no damage to engines/coolant/oilĬannon caliber AP seems unaffected (russian 20mms) Structural integrity is slightly effected but no destruction of flight surfaces USA 50s and 303s cause no engine damage/coolant damage/oil damage I did a Barbarossa to Berlin campaign in original IL-2, that was great fun and everybody should try it.ĮDIT: They released a hotfix and MGs should work again. There's something immensely satisfying about dropping a 500kg bomb right on top of a KV-1. I spent some time dive-bombing with the stuka. I need to master the rocket sight for the IL-2.

The planes look fun to mess around in, are multiplayer servers active for WW1 stuff?įlying Circus Vol 2 will have a campaign. I want to get Flying Circus vol I but even at $17 I'm skeptical because it still doesn't have a dynamic campaign.
