Oktusha Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) Someone give me a rifle instead because I think it would be best if I just walked to the enemy airfield and took the flak gunners out like Rambo before my next flight... lol... Wow, every flight out of last 7-8 that I have done ended up with a shell going off in my cockpit... Only one didn't kill me but it wounded me, and took out the engine. Sniper flak is crazy!!! lol...

361fundahl Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 I rarely get hit but when i do it is BAD Try changing your direction of travel often around flack.... throws the predictions off
andyw248 Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Remember wiggling up and down is faster than turning back and forth...
-TBC-AeroAce Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 I also don't get hit by flak that much,how are u flying??
361fundahl Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 slower speed you are more likely to get hit too. I like to stay 400kph+ coming near enemy airflield
Oktusha Posted January 3, 2015 Author Posted January 3, 2015 I have been unlocking things in the IL-2 and PE-2 so they are a bit slower than 400+kph unless I'm doing something wrong at level flight.
II/JG17_HerrMurf Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Remember wiggling up and down is faster than turning back and forth... Not sure I agree as you are also fighting gravity in vertical maneuvers. I tend to just roll and give smaller pitch movements for the most part. I've taken to supressing flak recently as opposed to simply dogfighting with a pretty good success rate with both bombs and guns. I fall back on Dart's video's for instruction fairly often. So, without further ado........... 2
II/JG17_HerrMurf Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Here's another one for multiple guns. 1
-NW-ChiefRedCloud Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 I miss Dart ..... though I've seen him (or his spirit) hanging out over on the SimHQ forums ....... Be nice if he would make us some new BoS videos. Thanks for those HerrMuff. Chief
Feathered_IV Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 I used to go straight in on a target, then turn like a a Sopwith Camel and come racing back for another go. I got hit a lot. Recently I changed tact and extended away after the first pass and circled while gaining height before coming in for the next pass. I haven't been hit since. Not a scratch.
II/JG17_HerrMurf Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Chief, I love his old videos. Let's get him on board over here!!!!!!!!!!!!
Soarfeat Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Thanks HerrMurf for sharing that IL-2 video made by Dart. Very well done, I have never met Dart but agree just from watching the video, that he would be a great contribution to this sim in "all" manners ( just a first impression, hope he joins in,-- ) cheers--sf--
FlatSpinMan Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 He's too busy building his own replica N.17.
Fortis_Leader Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 My experience is that when faced with taking on an airfield and then for some reason hanging around, the Il-2 with 37mm cannons is a perfect tool for flak suppression. Make sure to go for the light flak first, since they have a higher RoF and are better at tracking you.
Y-29.Silky Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Someone give me a rifle instead because I think it would be best if I just walked to the enemy airfield and took the pilots out like Rambo before their flight... lol... ^ Multiplayer..
II/JG17_HerrMurf Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 He's too busy building his own replica N.17. My wife has approved my Titan T-51 with the caveat of no financing. So, I am furiously saving for the kit now.
GridiroN Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 I have noticed if you fly over an airfield flying slower than 400, they will probably at least graze you, if not wreck a fuel tank, or damage your engine.
