Il-2 Sturmovik v2 - Games - Facepunch Forum

I remember the one time we all decided to land in the water with our sea planes and kill each other just with the turrets on our planes. It was awesome.

Do you remember that Pacific map? and some guy kept on flying gliders and killing me when I was in a MiG :<, Honestly I think MiG's hate me.

[QUOTE=Edthefirst;16349363]I remember the one time we all decided to land in the water with our sea planes and kill each other just with the turrets on our planes.

I've been quite busy with things bros. I might host later. [editline]10:36AM[/editline] And yes I did fix that motherboard.

The console version is looking very pretty as well. Although I'm sure it isn't as advanced as this version in terms of plane control.

Is the console demo out? [editline]04:14PM[/editline] Yeah it's out, downloading it at the moment, 1,22gb.

Anyone want to go play Multyplayer with me?

[QUOTE=Orkel;16349618]Indeed it was. Also, I've reinstalled the game, so if anyone wants to make a server sometime, I'll be up for it.[/QUOTE] Ah yeah, that was with you Orkel wasn't it? I remember how fun it would be to have two huge seaplanes acting as giant machine gun batteries against the other. Fun Stuff. I'll be up for a game if anyone wants to host one (I can't because my connection has a horrible upload).

Oh [b]FUCK YES.[/b] I've been waiting for this thread for a while, I just started playing this game online again last week. It was awesome last time we had a facepunch server.

-snip, next page-

Ah man, those pictures bring up for some fun memories. MACHINE GUN BROADSIDES WITH SEAPLANES ROCK. But so do launching thousands of rounds at the TB3 above you with your gunners, then attempting to turn as he moves down, cutting off both your wings and tumbling to the ground, firing to the death.

Last post of page sucks, so therefore Reposting epic picture dump. This pic was when we were having boats VS bombers - wars. Other team had seaplanes, and landed on ocean, and had to try and shoot down bombers which were trying to (and often succeeded) bombing the boatplanes. In this pic, I took it from the gunner's seat of my PBY, and that huge plane's wing hit the water a few seconds after, did a roll and blew apart completely. It was a GOD DAMN AWESOME SIGHT from so close, while flying the plane. [media]http://i42.tinypic.com/29atmk7.png[/media] Pure chaos going in the distance. Burning planes, bomb explosions, it's hell out there. Still boatwars. [media]http://i39.tinypic.com/27ypo20.png[/media] Oh, and me about to get owned by a bomb. [media]http://i42.tinypic.com/hvdydc.png[/media] I met yet another gay plane, this time it was a pink Beaufighter. [media]http://i44.tinypic.com/6p4uis.png[/media] Planes collided and blew up. [media]http://i40.tinypic.com/20rwiko.png[/media] Me and another guy chasing a gladiator when we were having biplane battles. [media]http://i43.tinypic.com/nq1grl.png[/media] More biplane battle madness. [media]http://i42.tinypic.com/oqeply.png[/media] Now this is just hilarious. A long line of fighters chasing eachother, I was the second to last plane. Longy was behind me still.. or was it him? [media]http://i44.tinypic.com/2nb52tj.png[/media] Those Japanese planes show their tendency to get set on fire again. A5M4, the zero predecessor (I think), gets shot by my plane of the same variety. [media]http://i39.tinypic.com/xawf1c.png[/media] Failure is chasing my Yak-9, I had no ammo. He then proceeded to crash in the ground leaving me almost unscratched. [media]http://i39.tinypic.com/2mrgpjb.png[/media] Installed a new kewl Zero skin. Gonna use it from now on. [media]http://i42.tinypic.com/qzm3v7.png[/media] [editline]04:43PM[/editline] Even more: [media]http://i43.tinypic.com/rm1ksh.png[/media] [media]http://i39.tinypic.com/nwxc0i.png[/media] [media]http://i43.tinypic.com/2znn4ib.png[/media] Next, epic boat to boat battles: [media]http://i44.tinypic.com/15z08lg.png[/media] Soon after this pic my rear gunner blew him apart: [media]http://i39.tinypic.com/28jg9f.png[/media] And some classic TB3 bomber fights. Lolburst being an asshole and using the zero instead >:( [media]http://i39.tinypic.com/2en5107.png[/media] [media]http://i41.tinypic.com/24oy841.png[/media] [editline]05:27PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Archer2338;16351318]Ah man, those pictures bring up for some fun memories.

The TB3's machine gunners are so weak, that it never rips off pieces, eventually your plane will simply be so filled with holes that it will become really hard to control resulting in a crash, or your pilot gets killed, or your fuel tank gets caught on fire.

Oh fuck, i remember most of those events from those pictures. I have a few screenies myself, basically from differant angles and times. Recognising a lot of familiar names pop up in this thread.

I'd play Forgotten Battles so much more online if the second half of the latest patch even existed.

TicTac, making a server? And I remember we had a vent channel aswell.

If anyone is interested in a full description and pictures of all the airplanes in 1946, go here. [url]http://www.scribd.com/doc/6291510/IL2-Sturmovik-1946-Aircraft-Guide[/url]

Well played cacarca, Well played.

Goddamnit TicTac, make a server!

I don't believe you know how to fly unless you learn by "Trial by crash".

My problem is I can Fly, and I can get from point A to B, I am also fair at bombing, but I am absolutely horrible at keeping enemies in my sites.

[QUOTE=DanTehMan;16355833]My problem is I can Fly, and I can get from point A to B, I am also fair at bombing, but I am absolutely horrible at keeping enemies in my sites.[/QUOTE] Learn some dogfighting maneuvers. You have to learn how to out think your opponent. It is almost like a game of chess, you have to be two steps ahead of the plane you are chasing.

Server maybe goin' up in 30 minutes?

[QUOTE=TicTac;16357019]Server maybe goin' up in 30 minutes?[/QUOTE] Hell yeah. Post the IP once it's up.

Message me only if you have a mic for 'ze ventrilo infos.

[QUOTE=TicTac;16357411]Message me only if you have a mic for 'ze ventrilo infos.[/QUOTE] My headset's mic is broken (found out today), but it'd still be good to be in vent, to listen to others, right? So can I also get the vent info? I remember being there in the old days aswell.

I've got a mic. I would gladly like that info. Do I need to PM you?

Bros! Wake up!

Damn it what horrible timing, I can't play at the moment and have to go out. Hopefully later tonight.

[QUOTE=Edthefirst;16358025]Damn it what horrible timing, I can't play at the moment and have to go out. Hopefully later tonight.[/QUOTE] It's about 12:40 AM here, so I can only play for about an hour before I need to sleep.
