2 Direct hits from Panzer HE shells to take down an IL-2

[40plus]

Multiplayer last night (Aug 9th) commanding a Panzer 3.

I had an IL-2 coming in flat and straight (He made it really easy) I hit him twice with HE shells from the main gun Impacting his starboard fuselage and port wing. It brought him down but just barely, he still piloted it down into a belly landing, both wings attached.

 

Doesn't seem right. . . . .but it WAS fun

Unless you hit the engine the iL 2 will keep flying after taking a punishment.

My tailcut victims say "no", as does my experience on the receiving end (online that is).
