No, you just need good aim. It takes only minor skill and a little bit of practice.
Only against this
No, it does perfectly fine against basically anything. Especially the hs129s They fall apart from a single burst, and their 7.82s donāt do anything. Not even the pilot is in danger through the armored glass/seat.
*123s
This thing very cool.
IL 2 cant counter it.
i donāt take a picture of all my kills in the IL-2, unlike you do with your pathetic 123. IL-2 counters it very easily. I have never once been shot down by a hs123. Only 109s a few times, and sometimes 110s.
And I have been able to get 5 aircraft kills in a single spawn with the IL-2 multiple times without many problems.
In my practice, the IL 2 does not have enough ammunition to destroy the stuka.
But biplane can destroy.
I glad for you and your very smart enemy.
Only against Henshel IL 2 good.

In my experience, the IL-2 carries enough ammo to take down 2 stukas and a 109.

Unfortunately, my alllies seem to be even āsmarterā.
Only against Henshel IL 2 good.
Iāve been able to take down everything so far.
Hs123 is free xp
Stuka as well
Bf109s are dangerous, but you can take em if you can get the jump on them.
BBf-110s are basically an equal match.
They are all free experiences.
Those who cannot shoot down the IL 2 on the Henschel will not be able to shoot it down on the bf 109.
Btw, I meant free xp to the IL-2.

Not true. The 7.92 on the hs 123 doesnāt do much to the IL-2. It just doesnāt. Even with the 109, you need the 20mm to get through the armor on it. You need to get extremely lucky to kill an IL-2 with the hs. And the IL-2 needs to be flying in a straight line, otherwise you wonāt hit crap.
And itās even harder with the hs, as if the IL-2 gets guns on target at any point, itāll clap the hs in around 5s.
I now will make topic.
About Henshel and IL 2.
Just wait.
Only time I killed a Il-2 with a 123 the Il-2 tried to dogfight - easy to jsut sit on its tail and pepper itā¦ but 1 ammo load wasnāt enough, had to go reload and then do it again.
In other words, if the IL-2 payed attention and knew how to aim, youād be long dead. Cause one burst ond the 123 has no wings.
i would say the IL2 is the best plane for russians(probably even the enitrety of moscow) because of its autocannons+ very capable ground attacking payload
i have palyed with its german equivalent(bf110) for some time and its bombs are kinda weak

Indeed .
However thereās little he can do if the 123 gets behind hime - the Il-2 has to have surprise on his side because he canāt force a 123 to stay in front.
The 123 is a nice little plane - I like flying it, and if I keep my eyes open and wits about me it can usually last a while in the game or until a Yak arrives - canāt avoid them if well flown.

I donāt know what youāve been doing, but I wouldnāt consider 2x250kg weak.

I mean, he can just fly straight towards the resupply, as the 7.92s barely scratch off itās paint. And the thing is, the IL-2 is so slow it can easily force the 123 to overshoot and get guns on target that way.

I personally never liked it. Bf-109s a lot better and bf-110 is amazing, so I prefer to fly those.
You can easily shoot down the IL-2 on the He 123 if you use his ammo wisely.

I mean, think about the IL-2s youāve shot down. How many got destroyed in the air? Apart from that one lucky pilot snipe you got, as I wrote on that thread before, were pilot failiure on the IL-2s part. And you had 0 rounds left.
I canāt even count how many times a german fighter threw his entire mag of 7.92 in my IL-2 and all that happened was my airframe turning yellow.
Also, itās the hs123, not he123.
Pretty big difference, as hs stands for Henschel, while he stands for Heinkel. Completely different companies.
They were shot down - thatās the main thing.
In 3 cases, I inflicted damage to them that led to their fall, in 4 cases I killed the pilot (since I had already learned to play on an plane a little).
I always meant Henschel by He.I donāt care how itās shortened there.
Iāve already forgotten about Henkel.
