Oh also don't install 4.09m because it doesn't work with 1.2. Besides the FP server uses 4.08 anyways.
[QUOTE=TippZ;19446593]okay thanks! Also, any tips on dogfighting? :)[/QUOTE]
Don't get into a Turning fight with Spitfires, La's, Anything Japanese, and Maybe the BF109-F4
Unless of course you're flying one yourself, if not, Boom n Zoom is the way to go, attack from up high, build speed, shoot'em and Zoom off way into the distance before you turn around and repeat

Actually, you can probably scratch the BF 109-F4 off the list, they're impossible to tell the difference between unless you're already engaged with them anyway, (The F4 has better turning than the other models I believe) and if you're in an La, Spit, or Zero, you can out turn them, the BF109 can probably hold it's own vs a La, but it will Lose against a Zero or Spit in a turning fight, and if you see a BF 109 with Gunpods on it's wings, it turns even worse so you can be a bit more Gutsy with them
Ohfuck I overshot the the large roof of crashlanding bandwagon!

[i]Anything[/i] Japanese?
Even the H8K?

Well obviously not, I'm talking fighters, even a P51 can out turn an H8K
Oh, there's another online tactic. Leave the P51 at the Hanger
Even the H8K.
That thing is a fucking ninja, I was on it's tail broke off, tried to do immelman turn to get back on it's ass., and suddenly that fucker flew over me, did a barrel roll whilisth shooting at me and wearing sunglasses.
Do I have to install AAA before I update to 4.09? I feel like updating since most populated servers have that but I still don't feel like fucking IL2 up with AAA.

Wait you mean i'm not supposed to have no operable engines and a missing wing? fuck some one should have told me this a long time ago.
The only thing I'm good at in this game is taking off and landing after being shot
It is a common sight for me during combat to be flying at an altitude of around three feet
The Ventrilo and IL-2 server have relocated to 99.234.253.201 / 3784 and 99.234.253.201 / 20011 respectively.
Should have coop missions since we seem to get mad at each other to much.

I agree.

Dibs on tailgunner.
I can host some coop missions but school has started and I won't really be able to get my coop server up.
I think for a lot of people, school has started. I know my college starts up on the 19th so that's when I have to go back, but most people went back yesterday.
-Not anymore-
let's all get on the server guys
so what's with the skin selector, is it possible to have personal skins for your planes?
Is anybody on right now?

Yes. Would you like one?

Just made a zombie pilot skin.
Whats the FP server?

Also i'm in love with the FW-190
Picked this up for 5$ during the holiday sale, man I blow at this game, I can fly around fairly well and not kill myself, but I couldn't shoot down another plane to save my life.
I just played multiplayer on a private server, this is so damn awesome.

took me like an hour of practice to get decent. although i haven't tried landing yet.
also <3 P-38
Why is it that planes tend to veer towards the right when left alone?
Why is it that helicopters will flip the fuck out if they don't have a tail rotor?

Answering your question with a rhetorical question.
[QUOTE=onox37;19459539]Why is it that planes tend to veer towards the right when left alone?[/QUOTE]
The engine torque. The propeller rotating to the right, makes the whole plan kinda want to rotate. You can notice this more when you suddenly go from 0 throttle to 110 as most planes want to jerk to the right ( or which ever way the propeller is rotating). In planes like the p-38, the propellers rotate in opposite directions, which cancels it out.
Some asshole teamkiller named Kumoyoshi was shooting at someone, so I started chasing him and I got a cannon shot right through his cockpit. Sadly in the process I shot down the player he was chasing :v:
