Il-2 Sturmovik v2 - Games - Facepunch Forum

[img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/WW2_Gif22.gif[/img] I basically managed to take out a flight of B-25Js singlehandedly

[QUOTE=Kyle902;19603632]What was the reaction?[/QUOTE] There wasn't one, atleast not that I was aware of. One line of text with 50 people in the server displays information at the speed of frickin light

Has anyone even been on the server recently, I'd like to play some more.

[QUOTE=Fergeh;19629336]Has anyone even been on the server recently, I'd like to play some more.[/QUOTE] I'll play tonight, in aprox. 8 hours or so when I get off work.

[QUOTE=Frankiscool!;19629456]I'll play tonight, in aprox. 8 hours or so when I get off work.[/QUOTE] Well wrong time zone for me I'm afraid, thats 4 in the morning GMT so I won't be there.

Wow it took the guys in the skies of fire server five minutes to destroy a pilotless plane.... [editline]06:16PM[/editline] 2 of the planes chasing it ran out of ammo too...

Im about to hop onto the server, if anyone is interested.

I just imagine their radio sounding like those Finding Nemo birds 'Mine Mine Mine Mine'. They usually end up colliding, hitting each other with bullets, then the shit talking starts... He was mine, No mine you dove down in front of me, No it was mine I was on his 6 five turns ago! Stop stealing kills! It's funny because one time this guy was going too fast and passed the guy he was shooting at so I took over shooting at him, I got the kill, He bitched and said I stole a kill, yet just before then I saw him along with the entire rest of the team shooting at a tail-less fireball of a plane falling to earth, trying to get credit Not only that, the last time I was in there, a few hours ago, about 5 Blue guys were chasing me, all by myself, 2 of them shooting every shot at me they could, I just kept it a few feet off the ground, a P-51, and headed back to Red's base out in the water, landed it.... and what's funny is Full of Holes, the damn thing flew better than it does undamaged *Edit* From now on, I'm going to start recording tracks so I can take screenshots of some of the ridiculous bullshit

The Skies of Fire server is one of the reasons I only play closed cockpit servers.

Every single kill turns into a fucking cock swinging fest on kill stealing.

[QUOTE=Sethorion;19637132]Yeah that's one of the reasons I don't play IL2 online that much anymore.

Some will boom&zoom on a bomber and steal someone's kill. The only reason I would do that is if they seem to not hit them or have the firepower to kill them.

One time I destroyed some guys props with a cannon shot, as he was going down 6 other fighters swarmed him and stole the kill.

That's an arcade server for you.

I miss the days of Red Baron 3D, Where there weren't server rules to be enforced but people were considerate, polite and as honorable as the real life Aces of WW1, They didn't vulch and if they did the entire server would band against them... Those were the Glory days of PC gaming, before every kid with ADD got a PC

[QUOTE=Useful Dave;19646893]Out of curiosity, what does vulching actually mean?[/QUOTE] Swooping down and shooting people who are sitting on the runway/rolling down it. Before they even get into the air It's basically Spawn Camping of the Flight Sim world, although in some cases Bombs are permitted, unless everyone from both sides are taking off from one strip Comes from the way Vultures act circling above their prey on the ground

Admins are never there to enforce their rules, and arcade servers are down the shithole.

You guys don't have a clue. One map I was playing on only had one airfield for our team, and there was a douche sitting at the end of the runway in a B17 firing the rear turret at friendly planes as they took off.

[QUOTE=gmaster;19579216]To his detriment, the game works fine with the arrow keys. I don't understand what he's complaining about. I get what he means though. You wouldn't think that a racing game REQUIRED a racing wheel, or that a fighting game REQUIRED an arcade stick.[/QUOTE] But regardless it isn't required any more so than the types of games you listed. It's just a hell of a lot nicer.

[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;19650050]That's actually pretty funny.[/QUOTE] Especially as I see it leading to people driving bombers around on the ground, switching between seats trying to blow each other up.

I just got back from a closed cockpit server. I got a few kills as an escort in a Ki-84 lb, and got a few kills as a Bf-109 G-2. In the Bf-109, I killed an IL2, he clipped my wing when his wing hit mine when he spins out, and then in turn, I hit a close tracking P-40, getting the kills for both of them.

I tried to use the hyperlobby thing but whenever I try to join a game It just times out.

I got a force-feedback controller. Before format it worked properly, but now as I play the FF does adjust the stiffness of it, but i get no feedback other than that. Before I got it jiggling around when I flew in turbulence and in clouds, now it doesn't do that. Anyone know what the problem might be?

I'm joining the server feel free to join.

Call me stupid but I just realised that the new Wings of Prey game is the next IL-2?! I mean, I know that a new IL got released on consoles but I didn't recognize this on the pc since it didn't have IL-2 in the title. But now that I have tried the demo I noticed it's the same game, minus the IL-2 title. How come you guys haven't moved to that? It looks amazing and it still seems to keep the realism to it aswell. [editline]01:04AM[/editline] Or wait, that game is called Birds of Prey, but it has to be the exact same game. Or I'm just going mad.

It doesn't keep to its realism, due to the fact that you get 80 kills in one mission, the firepower is basically the same for every plane, and you can't control the plane after it says "Shot down". Storm of War will be like IL-2 but better, hopefully.
