Ju87 D5 is the greatest plane ever, closely followed by the !!Hs129 b2!!

False; can't even down a Wellington. See my earlier posts here for reference.

Yes it can. You're not just using anti-air ammo.

It's still just 2 20 mm cannons. Compare those to the 23 mm cannons and 2 miniguns the IL-2 gets.
20 mm cannons aren't that hot unless you go for suprising the enemy who thinks "Oh a stuka easy kill... RATATATAT! OH GOD WHY!?"

IL2 can't turn at all as long as is takes wing damage.

And 2 MG151 20mm cannons with minengeschoss ammo is just enough. Especially with the hilarious amounts of ammo the D5 gets.

Odd IL 2 turns fairly well for me... at least in arcade. In fact i considered it to be one of the tightest turners among soviet tier 2 aircraft.

[Naryar]

Oh, it DOES turn very well... when it's not damaged.

Very tough plane though.

The IL-2 is as good as you'd expect from the people who made the game for it. It's tough as the Americans, has the firepower of the Germans, and gives the British turners a run for their money.

Well it's hella slow. Also it's not AS resistand as Murrikans.
It's over the top resistant to death... i had games where i lost all control and everything was black aside of the engine (that was red) bbut i was still there in the sky eating tons of lead from machineguns.

Yeah it climbs like a stuka...

You would think poor climbing abilities would be to be avoided in a dive bomber, but apparently not.

You want a divebomber to not produce very much lift when flying, as that would make it hard to aim at ground targets during your dive. The less lift you produce, the steeper your diving angle can be, increasing your accuracy.

I've been playing this for one day and am doing surprisingly well.

[Zrk2]

What's your KDR?

[bertix]

So I've been playing this game for a fairly long time now, Having completed all research on fighters on the Russian tree And have been trying to do the same on the German side of things, is it me or the muzzle velocity of the guns on tier 4 planes is extremely low.

[ukulele]

If you are talking about the german 20mm FF canons then yes, it is extremely slow. It gets better once you reach the MG 151.

[bertix]

I resorted to using the dora for most of my gaming on German side... Which really is a shame...

[Naryar]

Yeah, the MG FF's are a pain. Though when it hits AND when you have minengeschoss it's much better.

Now 4 MG151's with minengeschoss is a feast of metal.

[Zrk2]

Bah, British Hispanos are to die for. Every fighter with four of them is a terminator, regardless of how shit it is in other aspects.
