It’s a tiny biplane! Maybe the pilot saw your flying tank and said “f*** it, that thing can put me in flames with a single aimed burst while I need 3 ammo resupply to take it down… oh now it’s gone I can use my tiny 50kb bomb! Joy!”
I use my biplane)
Despite the fact that the IL 2 has the same machine guns and besides there are 20mm cannons, the I-153 is still better, since it can fly up close and just kill the pilot with an accurate burst.
I must admit that to defend the Motherland, I use my premium “clown plane”, the only premium plane squad I’ve bough. It’s that good, such a perfect troll machine, I love it!
The IL-2 can do the same, and it’s also basically immortal, while the I-153 falls apart from 7.92.
But, yeah, fighters are kinda useless. Though in moscow you can at least use them against ground targets, in Tunisia they’re completely useless.
Because it’s a useless class?No?
Let’s remove all infantry classes, because stormtroopers, machine gunners and engineers are already self-sufficient.
IL 2 can’t do that.
He’s not that maneuverable, and his guns and machine guns can’t do anything to the body of the stuka itself.
The only option is to kill the pilot, but the IL 2 is too poorly controlled for this.
Have you ever flown the IL-2? That thing’s as manuverable as a 109. You can certainly get behind it with 0 issues. And the cannons do actually work. IL-2 is best fighter, you can’t change my mind.
Most ppl you kill can’t or don’t manouver and just fly in straight lines or gentle turns. You don’t need to be manouverable to kill them and a properly flown 109 is much more manouverable than the Il-2.
Or good luck - eg see the end of this - this was a video back when the air damage model was even more borked… my Il-2 in Berlin has been hammered by a Me-410, and then he makes a bit of a mistake at 1:09…
