IL2 1st patrol
Longknife:
Well it wasnt really my 1st, it was my 3rd but "3rd Patrol" isnt as catchy a title now is it 8)
1st patrol I discovered the AI gunnery is not to be underestimated. 2nd patrol I learned my own gunnery was rushed & not as accurate as it should be. By the 3rd I was putting it all together.
I spotted a pair of Stukas being escorted by a C202. The 202 turned to engage me. I ignored him & pressed on to the JU87's as they were approaching our factory.
I didnt think to turn on the recorder until after I smoked the 1st Stuka.
2nd Stuka I bore in close before opening up. He disintegrated under a short burst.
The 202 seeing his charges go down broke off the chase & headed back towards base. Unfortunately for him my Yak was faster...
Returning to base with 3 kills & well on my way to becoming a hero of the Soviet Union.

Nice shots!
Glad you are enjoying the sim.
Lusik:
Nice screenshots Stardog. I'm still thinking about buying this sim but I've heard mixed opinions. I will ask you a few questions when we are on TS. On the other hand, I haven't played any WW2 sim since Cliffs of Dover and Il2 Sturmovik. DCS doesn't count before they release Normandy map.

Not my screens mate, that be Longknife :)
Ya I dont fly this sim either, heard too many mixed opinions from guys I trust when it comes to WWI and WWII sims.
Im sure its fun though and glad everyone who does fly it are enjoying it.
Longknife:
My opinion thus far FWIW is that the flight model & damage model are excellent. The graphics & immersion are very good. The AI though is pretty marginal. When dogfighting an enemy AC they will do some very unorthodox maneuvers. Things no real fighter pilot would do.
Overall I do like it though. I think MP this game would really shine.
If there is a better WWII sim on the market today I would like to know what it is.
