I spent the last 2 weeks, jumping around between all the different planes and came to the conclusion, I like the PE-2  Il-2 best.  I enjoy the ground attack and bombing missions and to still be able to shoot down an enemy plane if I get lucky is a big plus. Also, they seem to be pretty sturdy in comparison to some of the fighters.

 

Whats you fav?

VVS is the LaGG 3

Luft is the G-2

 

Though i do have a lot of fun flying all of the planes. Most surprised by how much I like the Stuka

The Stuka and the IL-2. The closer my mission takes me to the ground war the more I feel like my mission is relevant to the struggle being simulated. Jousting high in the sky isn't my thing.

109F 100% fuel with additional 250kg bomb and armored windshield...I'd add eaven 100kg of lead to make it fly like it should and not like a UL Replica ;)

The P-47. 

Oooops...........wasn't at Stalingrad.  :mellow:

Oh well, maybe wait for a sequel and fly high cover over the Kremlin in one!

 

In this sim?

The Focke-Wulf. Best flight modelling for it I have seen. And you can actually see through the windscreen.  ;)

I love making other airplanes disappear at the touch of a button. And it's so fast................

What's not to love? (don't you dare say unlocks!!!)

Based purely on which I fly the most. They're all beautiful models and fun in their own way.

 

LaGG-3

IL-2

Fw 190

Yak-1

La-5

Bf 109G2

Pe-2

Ju-87

Bf 109F4

He 111

 

I expected to like the Pe-2 a lot better than I actually do, and I'll propably fly the Heinkel a lot more once I find the time to really sit down and learn the intricate details of the plane.

Surprise surprise. 190  :biggrin:  :biggrin:  :biggrin:

but i like all the planes, and i fly them all

Posted

Of course the good old JU87 :)

If my bombs would explode, of cause the Ju-87, but also the He-111. I love her flying calmly ovwr the cold plains of Stalingrad and drop my 1000 to 2000 kg of bombs on supplydepots, trainstation and airfielda of the vvs. :D

Posted

Fw-190. Even though it's still slow.

Would be the Pe-2 if it had 20mm :/

 

But am starting to notice how fun the IL-2 is.

Posted

Ju-87 Stuka a nice attack aircraft with the hell sound all souls know on this planet. I like the LaGG3 aswell. Pe-2 is awsome aswell.

Posted

La 5 and FW 190

Did the Pe-2 ever get a ShVAK? I thought that was only the Pe-3.

Posted

BF-109, FW-190,Ju-87 .

So far I don't have a clear favorite.

 

Other than good old Bf-109 in which I was killing and dying since Sturmo demo 13 years ago. :)

 

Surprisingly I very much like ground war in this sim, I think that strafing runs are just fantastic with all those rounds ricocheting around and exploding.

So I could as well put some attack plane in fav group category... still choosing between Ju-87 and Il-2... I find Il-2 a bit more easy to pilot and successfully do average mission in, but i nall honesty they are not exactly aircraft of the same purpose... :ph34r:

Bf109, both, but I never fly them (OP+Balance)

Ju-87 I fly most, sometimes Fw190 for Ground attack.

Lagg-3 and Yak-1 for russians

IL-2

Lagg-3

LA-5

Stuka

PE-2

 

I really want to like the PE-2 but I am not yet good enough at flying it to judge. I have a feeling it will become a firm favorite and jump up the list. The 109s are fun to play, but with their default auto systems CEM I find them not as interesting or challenging when not fighting - you really have very little to do between furballs apart from admire the scenery. It may seem odd, but having more knobs and buttons to handle in the Russian craft increases immersion for me. Also I have fallen in love with ground attack missions, either level bombing or mud moving. Maybe I'll like the Yak more when I get better at dogfighting.

Posted

To my surprise, the LaGG 3. I think I flew it about twice in my years on the old IL2, but I really like it in this game.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And enough with jokes and stuff about unlocks. It's getting extremely, extremely old and I will just ban people who derail threads with mention of it, even if it is intended as a joke.

Stuka and He-111.

They are the only ones I fly so....

(Even if I have bought the FW 190, I suck at dog fighting)

Posted

I like all the Russian birds, hard to pick a favorite.

If forced, I'd say the Yak 1 - although I have the most fun with the IL2 missions....

Posted

A cup of coffie and a PE-2 or a HE111 high level bombrun.

Orgasmic feeling to se a 2500kg + 1000kg bomb hit the enemy airfield.

Posted

Oh yeah - the HE111 is a favorite of mine too.

I'm just bogus at level bombing right now.

Posted

LaGG3.Stubborn little devil creature :salute:

Posted

You know that's one place I haven't even booted up yet - the only one I think.

I should give it a go. With the La-5 I just never bothered with it.

Posted

It did not, and you're right, it was the Pe-3. They used it as an interceptor... I wish they added it to the game, the Pe-3 did participate late in the battle.

Lot of people complain about the campaign but one thing it taught me to do REALLY well is level bomb.

Quick missions on expert will teach you in no time flat, you need to study the target before mission start and as soon as you jump in the cockpit you've got very little time to set rads and rpm's, check wind, set sights and line up your run.

 

Spend a half hour or so doing that and you'll be set.

Ju-87 so far, by far.

Pe-2, had fun with a dive bombing mission a couple of nights ago. Taxiing, that's a whole different matter though (going to experiment with switching engines).

As much as I like the Pe-3, particularly the late incarnations with a solid nose, its participation must have been very scarce, as there were very few Pe-3s left in service by late 1942 and they were scattered over a large number of units. At this point in time I don't think any unit of the VVS flew the Pe-3 exclusively.

Ju-87.

 

What a fun aircraft to fly.

With a 1800 kg bomb even more ^^ .

Thing's a pig with the 1800kg hanging off of her, fun as hell though.

Everything that has a radial engine.  :cool:

Probably the Hawker Hurricane, closely followed by an early Spit...
