Title: ABANDONED
Post by ilikerio on Mar 24^th, 2012 at 2:14pm

I took this in IL-2 Sturmovik 1946. In my opinion this is the best WWII air combat sim ever. :D
I detached myself from the TB-3 mothership right before we lifted off... :P

Nice! I miss that ole sim. I was never any good at dog fighting so I always ran in a bomber. It used to be you were able to assign positions in the bomber say a Heinkel. I would be the pilot and my friends would be the gunners. We'd get all shot up and they would cheer me on to bring the crippled beast home ;D. Damn.....I think i'm gonna reload it today ;D 8-)

I like the bigger aircraft to dogfight like the P-38 and BF-110. The smaller ones like the P-51 and BF-109 stall way too easily... Unless you have real skill! ::)

The secret is a slow and steady pull on the stick :)
Once you see the ol gal start to shutter and shake, then you back off a skoush on the stick pressure and let her ease into the pull. Easy on the rudder too, the P-51, I-16, and Fw-190 in particular will swop ends faster than you can say "Oh $hit" when you nail the rudder during a pull!
