Blackouts due to shock need to be re-worked.
II./JG53Lutzow_z06z33 replied to SCG_Wulfe's topic in Suggestions
The issue with things like G-lock in Sims is you can't feel it come on like you can in the real world that's why I've never liked such things being modeled. Because with out feeling or a G meter how can I tell how hard I'm pulling... -

The newish black out effect is way over done its like my pilot is an average joe with no G training. I've flown aerobatics for years, until I recently sold my Yak-52. I could pull 6+ -3 during aerobatics and not really have any effect other than the feeling of G forces.(Im 30 BTW average weight and don't work out) Where as the pilot in IL2 starts to see the effects around 3 to 4G (my best guess) If your a fighter pilot and blacking out at that, or even seeing the first signs then you need to go to bombers or transports. My 75 year old father could pull 5+ with no issue. Its all about muscle co -
As a real world pilot with aerobatics experience. (Used to own a Yak-52) I feel like the blackout mechanic is over done as in the pilot blacks out to easy. I've pulled 6Gs before without vision fading,it's all down to proper technique and being in shape.

I'm not complaining, more of pointing somthing out that has changed for the worse when it comes to realism. In the hope it will be changed. Anyway when I first started flying il2 bos (beta days) taxing and take off were pretty difficult especially in the FW190 but also the BF109. Which to me is how it should be lots of ground loops from inexperienced pilots cramming full power in to fast,or pushing the tail up to abruptly. Or not knowing how to handle a tail dagger after landing. Currently you can slam the throttle forward from a stop with no consequences. Landing is the same thing I can't sa

All this talk of balance reminds me of call of duty or battlefield where each side has the same guns. Balance is a great way to ruin a game as it removes all accuracy and skill. Early in the original beta Russian pilots who could out fly me were few and far between I respected them and knew most by name, now I can't outrun,out climb,out turn them so I burn in my 109. The 262 will be hard enough to fly because of speed and turn no reason to handicap it like the rest of the Luftwaffe has been since BOS released.

How on earth do you fight a Yak-1
II./JG53Lutzow_z06z33 replied to II./JG53Lutzow_z06z33's topic in General Discussion
Im using boom and zoom tactics,I know better than to turn fight a yak but low altitude fighting is all there is on a dog fight server. I've tried a slow climb after engaging, Ive tried a fast climb after engaging,both of which the Yak seems to catch me,Ive tried heading to the dirt and out running them like I used to in Beta and they catch up. -
It can outrun,it can out climb,out turn the 109 when this was not the case in the real world I understand balance but they have tipped the scale to the Russian side even the I-16 which was overshadowed by even the very early 109s in Spain is a foe to fear in in the later model 109s like the F and G models. I was making a diving attack on a Yak earlier and I shot past at 600 kph next thing I know bam he's right on my tail and there was nothing I could do but head for the dirt and scrape him off on a tree. I had the energy advantage so explain how on earth he caught up and how to fight them in t

So what was said during today's Q&A with Jason?

Would be cool if having the assets,required successful recon flights. -
Would you shoot at a Red Cross Ju-52?
II./JG53Lutzow_z06z33 replied to Feathered_IV's topic in General Discussion
Honestly I'd probably cover him from other Russian fighters. -
The Ju88 should have been able to out run the fighters with a shallow dive,I like playing with the Yaks in my JU88,I dive in on them like a fighter give my gunners a good shot at them then make a shallow climb away,repeat. If it gets in a tight fight I'll drop the flaps and throttle back one engine to turn tighter till allies can pick them off of me. As for coving Stukas I always try to fly with them even if they don't ask for my help many times I'll put my self in to hopeless fights to save the Stukas so they can make the target. My best is diving in on 7 Russian Fighters I held my own till I
