The Corsair rules!

[Chocks away!]

You can take one Corsair and apsolutely devastate a whole Japanese airfield! What an amazing fighter. In a matter of minutes I took out three Ki-43s, two NIKs and a Ki-84! I don't know if you agree , but judging from the sim, the Corsair is a far superior plane to the Mustang. At least the B,C and D model Mustangs.

maybe.. but you should try the bf109Z .. man i like that one ^_^
and even the spray-and-pray metod works with th Z

 

[cheddar cheese]

The 109Z kicks ass...its so hardcore I like the older planes, P.11c, CR.42, G.50, Buffalo...But I think I like the A-20 and B-25 best. I can mix it with the best of fighters in the A-20 8)

 

[Chocks away!]

How can you get a frickin bf 109 Z??

I agree with the corsair being a awesome plane. In a instant action in Coral sea in Pacific fighters, I loaded a F4U with two Tiny Tims and 8 six inch rockets. I made a beeline for the japaneses flattop. At medium range I fired the rockets and took flak damage but still pushed on. At point blank I opened up with the tiny tims and blew the carrier apart. Unfortunately, I was too close and blew up in the explosion.

i only have FB 1.21 ive never flown a Corsair, but i just love the Ki-84

 

[Risky Pilot]

The Corsair rules! I totally agree.
It's my favourite plane and it has awesome firepower.

It can carry heavy bombs and 8 rockets 8)
And a 2000 HP engine

 

[loomaluftwaffe]

yeah, but I prefer the 190Ds and Ki-84s here

 

[lesofprimus]

I actually find the Soviet class of aircraft to be more agile and easier to fly....

 

[loomaluftwaffe]

yeah, i always see the la-5/7 in ur shots
probably because the game was made by Russians

 

[lesofprimus]

I actually find the Yak-9 to be one hell of a ship, espeially with the 37mm cannon in the hub...

 

[Hot Space]

The P-38L_Late is also a pretty cool plane as well 8)

 

[Risky Pilot]

and very fast!

 

[loomaluftwaffe]

I've shot most of my kills in the Bf109G-10, but i like the Ki-84 too

 

[cheddar cheese]

The MC.205 is an excellent plane to fly as well...

 

[Chocks away!]

Does the Mc 205 feature in the complete IL-2 edition?

 

[cheddar cheese]

No idea, I got it in the latest patch I think...

 

[R988]

P-40M is my favourite, I know it so well that I can haul it around the sky better than I really should. Nasty suprise for those who think it's an easy kill

 

[Nonskimmer]

probably because the game was made by Russians

Yet curiously, some of the Russian planes are the worst modelled. Take most of the Yaks. Have you ever looked at how the pilot sits in the cockpits? With the exception of the Yak-1 and Yak-1B, the pilot's seat actually sits somewhere up around his belly button. It's like he fell right through it. When the Yak-3 has it's landing gear raised, the wheels poke right through the leading edges of the wing roots. It's weird. A lot of the Russian planes' tires seem to sink halfway into the ground when they're down too, like they have really low pressure tires.

You'd think that the Russian game writers would have paid more attention to detail with the Russian planes.

yup thats what i would think...
and i noticed that a Yak on my tail... with a bit of skill in the Fw-190 u can maneuver in such a way that the Yak can't help but crash straight into the ground
