I took this in IL-2 Sturmovik 1946. In my opinion this is the best WWII air combat sim ever. Cheesy

I detached myself from the TB-3 mothership right before we lifted off... Tongue

This... Is Rio.

Loud and talkative Bengal cat. He's not ours; his owner lives two houses down, but he wanders around the neighborhood getting food and talking to his human friends. He'll sometimes get into a fight if he meets another cat though... But it's rare because he's kicked out all other cats in the neighborhood. He thinks all the houses are his too...
I came up with the name "ilikerio" way back in 4th grade, and I've used it with most user accounts ever since.

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 Grin

. Damn.....I think i'm gonna reload it today Grin

Up is the way to go.

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! Roll Eyes

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!
