Maybe that was a scream of extreme fear and pain, oh well.

Les, i dont dogfight in the Il2, god no i mean i usually focus on dogfighting, flying stuff like the FW-190D9 and Bf-109 G-12. I use the 262 occasionally too. That was the first time id tried a ground kill so thats why i used the IL2...

It wasnt crap for the first 3 years of the war..... With established air superiority, that plane struck fear into the hearts of millions....

Well, the first few months in the West. As soon as the Stuka was discovered not to be invincible (along with the Wehrmacht) in the Battle of Britain it had started to loss its edge.

It did always have something on the Eastern Front though. It was a good plane, if air superiority was gained.

nope, the IL2 is dead easy to fly actually. Its a good plane for the novice to start off with.

No. The Stuka was crap as a plane, ONLY good if air superiority was there. SO it was crap overall. No John 'Horseface' Kerry in there.

His face is huge. "Hey, John are you upset?" Kerry - "No..." "Then why the long face!?" Buh-zing. 8)
