Game version 2.002 discussion: HTC VIVE, Ranks, New vehicles

I don't know if this is a new feature, but here goes;

 

I had an excellent Campaign mission in the fourth Moscow chapter last night. Performing an airfield attack in an E-7 on a short mission, I spawned 20kms out and immediately ran into multiple flights of contacts. 2 flights of Peshkas were evading friendly interceptors while Mig escorts fought them off. I stayed low under the furballs (made spectacular by low level contrails, is that new?) and struck out for the target airfield.

 

On arrival I had time only to make one bombing pass on parked aircraft and fuel trucks before once again the air was buzzing with contacts. One of the flights of Peshkas had returned from its mission and was landing at the airfield I was attacking! I ordered my wingmen to attack the aircraft and kept my eyes peeled for Migs while I scrambled for altitude. With at least 15 aircraft over the field (and more ground objects them I felt normal) things got crazy fast. I strafed one Peshka on the ground, took pot shots at a single Mig (I received kill notification later) and caused I fuel leak on a Peshka in the pattern before his belly gunner (or enemy AA) damaged my engine, forcing me home.

 

I have performed dozens of airfield attacks and never had an experience this exciting. Has something changed?

The generator is rather spectacular, isn't it? The last few times I've flown into and gotten involved in multiple dog fights over my home field.

I would be glad if anyone at Dev would answer or trying to find a solution for my D3DERR_DEVICELOST issue!

Thanks!

I have just got a bug where I had invisable planes again.

It was on Tactical Air War server. 

I was over a friendly airfield and it was under attack - I saw AAA shooting - mgs and flak and no plane to be seen.

I have made a replay if the devs are interested.

Nice shooting Tomcat

Thanks Arthur. I don't know what happend? somebody deleted my post?
 
 
I'm must say that planes that are about to start in attacking enemy airfield mission are bull's-eye, it give those mission new dimension and dynamism -  making them much fun. More ideas like this and those random missions could more enjoyable and fun to repeat.

9. German AAA 3,7 cm FlaK 36 added to the game;

 

 

Interesting ... I was just about to write a smart-ass comment about how the FlaK 36 was the 8,8 cm AAA or AT-gun... while the PaK 36 was a 3,7 cm AT-gun (door-knocker) .... only to find out that the German 3,7cm AAA indeed also carried the "Flak 36" name ... which is kinda weird ..

[-TBC-AeroAce]

I'm guessing because they both were made in 36

Click on the IL2 icon in the taskbar from memory. That should switch to the game in the headset. Been a long time since I've loaded it with my Vive.
