So i am a complet potato when it comes to planes,but the il-2 kinda outturns the stuka. So any suggestions how not to get clipped by those pesky flying vodka bottles?
Use flaps, use rudder to turn more sharply.
Thanks that helped and i definitly need to use the keyboard as well.
Rudderturning, bind your mouse buttons or else to rudder then you make better turns!
hey,
you should use the rudder “Q” and “E” key as well as the Ailerons keys “A” and “D” and Elevator “S” key and the Mouse controll in combination to get better turning results,
tho becarefull the Ju and the IL arent ment to fight planes (duh!)
so they can stall really fast as they bleed alot and i mean A LOT of speed,
i personally try to avoid air combat in those planes but when i do i try to have around 280-300 TAS
and i only try to turn as much as i need so the enemy plane does not have a shot on me
i had a lot of “maneuver kills” if you can call it that way where the enemy was so focused on getting his guns on me that they completely Forget to look at their speed and they just fall out of the sky,
now for the IL i can say the lowes speed in a turn is around 150-170, about the Ju i have no idea,
in after you hit 150 you really want to go straight again.
anyway hope i could help you out.
cheers
Lol, when I read the subject title of this thread I thought it would be about from the ground. I was gonna point out it’s tough but I’ve shot down a couple of IL-2s by going prone with the MG-13 and shooting them in the face when they fly towards my position to strafe.
Haven’t flown a plane in this game since very early on when I had the Stuka squad in my lineup.
