IL2 Forgotten Battles Screenshots...

[GrauGeist]

LMAO!!

Hey, maybe I'll post up a collection of my flaming crates in the Hammered But Home Screenshots! thread!

I have a few...

I wasn't shot up but I was trying to land just using a keyboard.
I made it but the plane needed just a few repairs...

Wheels, I don't see any plane. Unless your talking about the plane of the earth.

A little glue and some tape, she will fly like a home sick angle.

 

[GrauGeist]

LOL

Well, those Gladiators were pretty tough machines!

 

[wheelsup_cavu]

Aw cmon, it could have been worse...








Maybe not.

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Yeah, you did make it to the runway.

 

[lesofprimus]

I didnt....

 

[wheelsup_cavu]

Much better landing than mine Dan.
I still see a plane.

----------------

I got the kill but lost the plane.
I tried to Boom and Zoom but I missed him.
I was trying to pull out of my dive and I looped underneath him and clipped his wing on the way back up.
I got the screenshot from a .trk I made because when I flew the mission I had no clue what happened.
The external views were shut off.
I thought he had shot my controls away and I bailed.
The zero crashed into the ground before my plane (the P-40) did so I got the kill. 8)

It was a US Army Fighter DGen campaign that started in Hawaii and I was in New Guinea.
I think it was the first mission on that map and the second one of the career.

Good ones!

 

[GrauGeist]

Hey, at least you got the kill!

Coming up from underneath and behind is a trademark attack angle of mine, and the IL-2 never knew what hit it as it was skimming along the clouds...

 

[wheelsup_cavu]

Did the tail gunner take a shot at you before they bailed ?


I think with the new G-forces they are implementing with the v4.10 patch I would have tore the wings right off that P-40.

A taxiing mishap in this pic.
I found out that I couldn't go into the hangar.
I was to close and I tore off the boom when I tried to turn around.

I didn't think to try and takeoff until after I exited the mission.
That would have made for an interesting screenshot.

Nope...the poor bastards never had a chance...

I was below and closing the gap fast and at the last second, I brought 'er up and let fly with the Mk108s and took thier port wing off as I thundered past.

LOL...you gotta watch out for the "damage bubble" in regards to solid objects...

One of the frustrating things I find in IL-2 is you can't taxi your crate under the camo nets and/or into hangars without lighting 'em up...

And trying to take off in that would have been really interesting to see...and I agree, it would have made for a good screenshot when it all went wrong!

 

[wheelsup_cavu]

You can taxi into the largest hangar.
I have taxied into those in my screenshot before but not with a P-38.

The camo nets are definitely too small.
I hate that when you put a static aircraft in the camo nets its wings protude from the sides.
The only way around it is to put the planes in partially.

Nice shot.
