Hey, it's me, your friendly neighborhood IL-2 poster.
Tell me, user, why haven't you been flying the Dora? It had better be a damn good excuse.

I only played IL2: 1946. I just used to practice carrier take off and landings and the occasional torpedo bombing, where I missed my target 10 times out of 10.

because I'm flying the p47!

Because I only like arcade games like crimson skies and propeller arena

Because I don't own any of the IL-2 games. I just kind of play Star Wars flight games.

I like these games but it feels like there are only like 200 people playing it thanks to the stupid high graphic requirement

1946 is good taste user, no shame in that.
>crimson skies
Decent pick for arcadey fun.
Fix that.

Propeller arena is pretty good if you have a dreamcast. It was never officially released because 9/11 happened like three weeks before they were going to put it in stores. But there's CDis floating around the internet

Thanks for reading my blog

I'll look into it, thank you user.
The thing's more optimized than 95% of the shit-tier code on the combat flight sim market, let alone flight sim market in general.

It bums me out that a video game thread isn't getting any bumps so I'm going to give you a bump.

What a generous bump, user. I gift you an edit of IL-2 sauciness.

I did it in like 10 minutes in GIMP and I don't even remember how I got it to look this good. Wish I did so I could lo-fi more pics.

I think it looks pretty darn neat, user

I'll be damned if that doesn't brighten up my day.

For reference, here's the OG. I'm still trying desperately to figure out exactly what's all involved, 'cause it's way more than just greyscale and grain I remember that much.

I mean the only way is to keep playing around with it senpai. Just start dumping them next time you make a thread

Of course, it's my obligation to as the resident [and seemingly lone-wolf] IL-2 poster.

You haven't seen the last of me, no one has.
Not until the series dies a painful death, and that is a day the whole world should weep.

Tomcat is the last of the truly manual jets. It's a handful to fly and needs a lot of rudder input.

never got into this series, used to play other crappy flight sims.
can I fly an I-16? I love that ugly little tub of shit

I'm so glad you asked, user.

learn when to fire your missiles. if you are having something firing at you from that far away it's using a radar to look at you which is going to give you a warning
yes, phoenixchad is a long range missile designed to take out bombers to protect the fleet. real life isn't a video game

your post is the proof in the pudding that ww2 is brainlet tier

All you're fucking saying is you fire the phoenix missiles from eons away, and the Aim-9X up close. All it fucking is, is keeping that lock and just hitting the god damn weapon switch button depending on distance.

You modernfags keep goin' on about how primitive WW2 dogfighting is yet regularly huff liquidized 500+ page manuals 'cause your planes are far too complicated to just pick up and, y'know, FLY.

BVR kills only happen if you or your opponent don't know how to evade missiles through notching, cranking, and terrain masking.

noice

I’m still mad that the devs seem perfectly happy to let American aircraft have shit performance because the flight manuals were written very conservatively.

Yeah. The main problem isn't their performance, it's their durability - They have this shitty egg-timer mechanic, for all the planes, but it's the worst on the Americans because for some reason, running on Emergency ALSO takes away Combat power time. So not only do you not get enough time in high power, using high power also sucks away your adequate power.

Please devs, review this shit soon, please.

but it is flying
its just flying with some thought beyond "get behind bad guy" in it

Attached: 1515838337981.jpg (3008x1960, 1.09M)

They’ve let the P-40 languish for 4 years, despite shitloads of evidence presented, so don’t hold your breath. Unless the P-51 comes out in a similar state in which case I predict the backlash will be so bad that they will be forced to change shit.

>get behind the bad guy
Fags like you would suck in anything less than a Spitfire with that thinking.

Attached: 20181123113800_1.jpg (1920x1080, 346K)

It’s not problem solving, it’s memorization. It’s all about clicky-clacky in the correct order.

Absolutely based
>get behind

My poor, poor P40...

What I'm personally hoping for is once the American planes are in they'll have a re-examination of all of 'em about their engines, hopefully starting with the P-51 and extending to the P-40, and perhaps the P-39.

Attached: 20180926192757_1.jpg (1920x1080, 750K)

I hope so. Like I’m no stranger to underpowered aircraft considering I love the non-Yak Soviet aircraft but the P-40 is just anemic.

what would an il-2/silent hunter crossover be like?

>IL-2 and Silent Hunter crossover, torpedoes being launched by both bombers and subs, sick naval action spliced in and carrier operations for the ultimate get-'em-before-they-can-take-off, get-'em-before-they-sink-us rush

You guys know that feeling, when you didn't know you wanted something, but now you do?
