Footage of at least 2 stupid mistakes strung together to result in the end of a pilot. Overconfidence and target fixation.
This is also the first time I had experienced the new blackout model and didn't learn from the first one. Then I insisted on staying behind the bad guy and shooting when I knew I was pushing too hard.

Our Sunday Combined Arms mission is coming up this Sunday with a continuation of the above map...with the exception our last mission fell short of relieving the encircled 1st Parachute Division at the Kuniya Airbase. We did manage a supply drop so they could hold out a little longer and our panzers have made it closer having captured Pershkovo and Begunovo, but fell short and have regrouped within Assembly Areas 1 and 2 marked below. Fuel, Ammunition and those nasty panzer maintenance chores were required anyways. This week we have a goal of relieving the 1st, capturing the Village of Kuniya and moving west towards our final objectives.
The goal is pvp in the skies above, with the VVS numbers around the 9 or so numbers...so we need some OKL flyers to help protect our ground units from those darn IL-2's. Anyone interested in joining us for an approximate 3 hour mission on Sunday at 1:45 PM EST..with a server start of 2:00PM can PM me, or join our website and contact me through those channels.
FYI- Their start time is 19:00 UTC, 2 hrs earlier than the normal P38 campaign launch. I could do this .... anyone else?

Still having trouble getting the 20 skin file. Downloads about halfway and leaves a part file on desktop.
Any chance of splitting the regular skins into 2 files? 1 to 10 and 11 to 20?

Hell, I can never ID a plane until I'm ready to shoot and check the crosses or roundels on the wings. Turn off the icons and you will improve quickly. Your brain gets lazy with icons on all the time.
Try Unprofessionals server or Tuttavola (?)Both have AI. Finnish will show where the action is by the icons on the map, almost always near ground targets. Watch the AAA or A to A gunfire to pick out the enemy.

I'll be 11 please

One of my go to servers. Love to get a dozen Dogz in there for some combined arms action.

This thread on IL2 forums. Page 1 has a couple missions, page 2 tips for adding tanks into missions. The server is a great one to join for some action(or grab the mission to use with Dogz icons). Capture the next flag along a line and your spawn points move up all the while fending off waves of enemy tanks while an air battle rages (sometimes being bombed by them).

QuoteNew combined arms PvP gamemode: Advance And Secure
Hello,
following a concept that was popular in the arma series, I developed a PvP mission where you need to progress along a line by taking flags.
The Tanks role is to advance and take the flags. If a team takes the last flag of the line, it wins.
The planes role is:
- CAS: destroy the ennemy tanks or defense lines
- Level bombing: destroy the ennemy factory to stop heavy tank reinforcements
- Cover the bombers-

After being damaged in the engagement on ingress we dropped bombs and Zukker and I headed home and stumbled on to this. Curious the 88's were not returning fire but initially I was setting up each pass from their high 6 and breaking off at a safe distance. As for the circling bombers PW has found the cause and is on it as of Oct 24.
After this I took another couple leisurely passes on the 88's before spotting 3 FW 190's climbing up through the clouds and I turned into them calling for help. Then a fourth showed up. I got good hits on one and he went away smoking. The next ? minutes were spent in some of the most intense action I've seen yet. On the edge of a stall most of the time- refusing to give up altitude, so low on ammo I only shot when it was a sure hit. Rescue arrived and they cleaned up the opposition.
Unfortunately by the time I remembered to hit record again(shadowplay 5 min record) on the way home I had missed all the good action...... just caught the end.

I wish..... it's a bit of a monstrosity though.. maybe better suited to a sim pit. I'm still using the X52 throttle (and stick as buttons)
-
My new stick came!! The band is playing and a parade and ...... it's too tall to use on the desktop .. (music fades....)
Something must be done!
Should be about 2" lower, the desktop is an inch thick but my knee is almost underneath it already. Need a dish to mount the thing.
Enter the pickup truck coil spring seat. Cut out the center and a few other places, add some holes and we have a mount.
Cut a hole in the desk, put a few screws in and success!!!
Learning to fly all over again.....

Looking for the last few missing skins. Just got the one from BluBear but I'm sure there are a couple I'm missing(T-bone..). Don't see them in the skins section, I guess posting them in the thread doesn't do the best job of of keeping everyone up to date.

VKB Gladiator is supposed to be the best entry level stick these days. The x52 stick isn't the best but does have a throttle as well that can be used with a later stick purchase.

I used a x52 for a few years, now a CH stick(good and solid but low res sensors) and changing soon to a Winwing Super Libra

Couple of bits of recorded action.
Ground attack
Air kill

Perf is going to miss this mission
In theory you could clear cache and cold boot ahead of time.
Join server, select plane. Flight leader says air-ground or air-air loadout in chat. (100 gas 6x500 lb extra ammo) Touch nothing while loading - wait. Spawn in. Leader types start engine in chat.
He can idle at the start point for a long time by just pulling ahead a bit and ultimately either take off and catch up or finish mission and at least get an abort under his belt.

I don't generally shoot in a high deflection situation unless he's very close. If the gyro pipper is not visible in the gunsight I generally don't shoot at all - pulling too much G and your rounds won't be concentrated.
This is the theory:
Fix the range problem first with lead pursuit and after that fix the aspect (angle off his tail) with lag pursuit. Get the gunsight steady on an important part of his airplane (engine/cockpit) with near zero deflection. SHOOT!
In practice what usually happens is:
while I'm maneuvering into position for where the bad guy is gonna be someone else gets in right behind the bad guy and tries to stay with him in a tight turn spraying all his ammo 100 yards short, then claims I'm cutting in on his kill but I digress....

I recommend joining the TS briefly the day before when you get up. We'll be there in a tank session and you can check the Dogz time versus your own to be sure.
