What is being fixed? I didn't realize there was anything to fix.  

 

There have been some error messages with WWI careers, plus some other odds and ends.

 

Plus some new and updated mission types are planned for some other planes.

Guys, please take the aircraft suggestion posts to the Suggestions section.

Here is a link to download a compilation of some of my most action-filled tracks.

Here is 5 tracks mostly with Me-262

https://1fichier.com/?hfbj5xq1tlre6cnhs7s4

(Wait 30 sec for the download button to appear to allow download)

In the 1st one, i destroyed a P-51 in a 3/4 headon dive at 750 kph.

In the 2nd one, i hit a P-51 while crossing it with 2m between us. Good stuff for slow motion !

In the 3rd one, i destroyed a P-51 that was climbing hard and firing at my wingman

In the 4th one, i disarmed a Spitfire that was about to execute a Ju-52 with a headon from below

The 5th one is a big multi collision involving several planes

All tracks are recorded on Combat Box

Nice shot, but please note it is about track recordings 

 

Did he not do that?  I thought that's what he linked to, and that he was simply posting a screenshot from that recording (which was not the submission).

Are there plans to make it possible to rotate self-propelled guns on the spot, or is this impossible in the AI engine? on EMG, you just have to flank self-propelled cannons for them to become inoperative... it's annoying

Why is the video competition for Multi Player only? Seems rather discriminatory.

Probably because they're making a promo video of multi-player.

Maybe it's because they recognize battles against AI in their current form, are not really a game feature they wish to promote or draw attention to?   To be fair, AI has improved some, but not exactly a game strength or selling point imo.

Well, if you fly career with aids turned off - AI does a reasonable job.  It has issues but it is still a good experience.  It won't give you Multiplayer Air Quake style of fighting (thankfully) but it can be a challenge and for my liking, I want something akin to what the poor pilots went through when I fly career not flying more akin to modern Sim Jock flying. 😉

The weakness of IL-2 isn't enemy AI, but the friendly one. In dogfights, but even more before and after.

[blitze]

Prop hanging aside, AI fights are quite good and the Flight leader tries to get the flight back together after the scrap but if the enemy dominates the area it is quite difficult.  Damaged AI behaviour, dis engagement, ditching etc.

 

At least ammo spent AI decides to head home which gets them out of area of contact and ensures survivability.

 

As for defensive flying  AI can either go high into clouds to try and loose attackers which I see them do or low on the deck and use ground terrain to try and put off attackers.

Also dragging the attackers to friendlies is a good idea where possible but hey, without guides /  aids - It's pretty hard to tell what is going on up there in Virtual furballs.

Some MLG montage of fun with unused rockets on FVP server

The editing is way too over the top for me.

Rocket A2A kills are the mark of a man of culture.

About last multiplayer track competitions. I do not have tracks already... but here is one of the best multiplayer records:
