    Immersion breaking result from Il-2 CoD there. Any collision between a Spitfire and a Bf 110 that completely rips off the Bf 110's wing should render the Spitfire completely unflyable, as the Bf 110's airframe is thicker and stronger than the Spitfire's. That flight should have ended with a bail out.

  • @garymyers6638
    @garymyers6638 Рік тому +6

    When belly landing, glide. Turn off your engine. A spinning prop hitting the ground ( ground strike) ruins the engine by bending or breaking the crank shaft. England needs those airframes or failing that, as much as they can salvage from a downed craft.

    I see a fan of the usual British method of downing a plane: Dump .303s into them until they are too heavy to fly.

  • @antonrudenham3259
    @antonrudenham3259 Рік тому

    One of the few things wrong with IL-2 is the ability of 110 and Stuka rear gunners to hit you when their pilots were chucking their planes about, imagine lugging a hand held and very heavy MG in +G/-G and then imagine trying to lead a nimble target while doing so!
    I found tackling anything with a rear gunner to be far more dangerous than anything without, including fighters and this is obviously an inversion of reality.

    • @Gunfreak19
      @Gunfreak19 Рік тому +1

      Yeah, AI gunnery seems very hard to get right. Either completely useless or way to dangerous. Be it bomber gunners or ground fire.

      I think the 110 in this game are all flown by the worlds greatest pilots. The way the 110 flies and fights in the game doesn't seem to match what I've read from Battle of Britain descriptions.
