If it's from 2001 I should be good.
I could play classic wow on all low with a decent framerate, so I might be abelto play this.

Yeah It'll be cutting it very close then, Just toss the Water and Land detail on the lowest and you'll probably be Ok
Also, FYI to all the Pilots out there, Taking off of a sinking carrier is a bitch
And buying it from steam won't make a difference, right?

It shouldn't, other than you can't really control what version you're using, which will be the most recent, and the Skies of Fire dedicated server, which is nearly full with 50 players constantly during the day, works just fine. It's the only server I've played on though. Hyperlobby also works with the steam version as long as you appoint the right Directory and executable (IL2FB.exe)

Is there some sort of table or comparison between the endless kinds and varieties of guns and bombs?
I'm going to have to say that 8bitlord needs to step up his shooting game and stop maneuvering so damn well.
Also, Corsair sucks.

Amazing how the server had people in it since this morning.

I don't know much about bombs, but guns aren't that bad.
As far as guns go, most American planes use .50 cal machineguns, not so sure about European ones. You have to be fairly accurate and hit engines, fuel tanks, pilots, or something else important with these. You can shoot the tail and fuselage of a bomber all day and not do jack with most MGs. I assume the German 13mm MGs are pretty close, as they're very similar calibers. They also tend to be clustered, an extreme example being the P47 which has eight and can thus saw wings off of stuff.
Rifle caliber machineguns tend to suck balls, and are usually tail guns. To be fair though, tailguns are more likely to shoot at a cockpit or something, which will really ruin your day.
Cannons include the 20mm, which is more capable of taking wings or tails off fighters, though it can take a few shots. The 30mm, like those on (Newer model?) 109s is made out of rape. It will throw your aim all over the place and probably doesn't carry much ammo, but it's not that difficult to blow a wing off a fighter or turn it into a happy fireball.
There's at least one plane packing a 37mm and another with a 40mm, both of which recoil like a bitch but tend to fuck up what they touch with their very limited ammo.
As for range, you really want to get as close as sanely possible before opening fire to make the most of your shots and not end up missing or hitting unimportant junk. (I think this means don't try to lick the gunner positions of a bomber, but do milk the inattentiveness of a fighter pilot for all its worth. 100-200 meters seems alright, depending on your goals, weapons, and aim.)
Summary: MGs are little and need to be aimed well, cannon rounds are slower but can take off wings and shit.
There are some differences between specific varieties of guns, for example someone in this thread says the Zero's 20mm tends to have a lower velocity, but for the most part the vitals of it remain the same.

Thank you! :3
The one that gifts me this game deserve to be loved.

So uh, is anyone playing on the FP server atm?
I'll go on with you if it's up.

We're talking about the same server right? What's the IP?

And I'll play if you guys are in there.
I'll join now.
So will I.
Oh dear. It's down.
Damn! We'll have to wait for TicTac or 2nd to start their server.
Is there any way other than reinstalling the game that you can uninstall the 4.09 patch?
[QUOTE=Asm;19400663]Is there any way other than reinstalling the game that you can uninstall the 4.09 patch?[/QUOTE]
Use the bat file that came with the AAA mod to change back to 4.08.
Had to put my computer for some downtime because it has been up for the past couple of days, server's up now.
Also if you want the server restarted contact me whenever you can. The one I host runs on my computer so there really isn't a way anyone but me can start it up for you guys :P
Above also applies to the Ventrilo server.
Ok, I joined ventrilo (only one there) and will soon join ingame.
What's the ip for the server?
[QUOTE=Carnotite;19397430]-mg explanation-[/QUOTE]
For the most part I just punch both the MG button and the cannon button and unleash hell on the target until it goes down. Is that bad?

I dont have AAA Installed
50 new post :O
Ok so no jets or killing n00bs who don't know what chocks are, k
What version of the AAA mod does the server run? 1.1 or 1.2?
[editline]01:35PM[/editline]
WHAT CAUSES SPINS!?!? I'm getting pissed off. Going 300 km/h and the plane spins when I go up 10 degrees
Also where's the server? I get kicked EVERY TIME I'M ABOUT TO SHOOT SOMEONE DOWN (actually, I did shoot [B]one [/B]guy down)
I was the guy with the default name, I'm used to joining through hyperlobby

Spins are caused when you pull the joystick too hard. Be gentler with the joystick.

If you're going only 300 and you're spinning out, you are most definitely not pulling up 10 degrees. You are probably being a fucking spaz. Ease up on the joystick or keyboard, whichever you use. Also what plane are you using? That can be a culprit.
