117 aircraft dogfight over Paris

[Gunfreak]

With Paris on the WW1 map I had to check it out, but instead of the obligatory flying under the Eiffel Tower, (I did that too) I felt the biggest city In IL-2 deserved the biggest battle.

 

I’m not very familiar with the mission editor, having only made one mission a couple of years ago. So the AI behavior is partly on me, and partly just your typical bad FC AI.

 

107 Fighters and 10 bombers, lots of anarchy and epicness. Bagged 3 enemies in my superb Pup flying with the livery of Arthur Lee. I thought I had bagged 4, but apparently I emptied 100 rounds into an empty Albatros at close range. I also basted 2 Gothas, but didn’t kill them.

 

It was playable in VR, I got between 30 and 55FPS, not something that I would enjoy doing for an hour, but for a quick 15 minute battle it was fine.

 

Then I landed by the Eiffel tower just in time for the tour.

 

PS(mission took over 4 minutes to load, even the track took over 4 minutes to load. Usually missions load in 10-20  seconds
