- Aiming in IL-2 is hard if you are new especially in IL-2 multiplayer. Improving your gunnery takes a lot of time and practice until it becomes a feeling. This video goes through examples of how you can use positioning or wingman information to make shots easier. Perfect aim will let you land hard shots but good positioning will allow you to make hard shots easy.

How To: Position Yourself to Make The Shot in IL-2 Multiplayer / Aiming in IL-2 Multiplayer
actually the correct way to do it is hold down the cannon button in pure-pursuit and then just pull like 9G's and at least 1 out of the 200 shells you fired will probably hit.
I had to find a longer way to say this in order to milk the UA-cam algorithm.
Aiming in IL-2 is hard! I hope this helps. I decided to have many clips and have one main lesson in each one. I was thinking of maybe doing just a few clips and do a lot more lessons and talk through it but I decided with this format. Let me know if you guys would prefer to go narrow and deep on fewer clips or if you like this format. Thanks! Please like and subscribe if you find this helpful.
I like the format, well done and drives the points home. Tracking the plane you are trying to clear is not something I do so I will work on that. Also the rudder! I use it a lot to fly but do forget in the moment of combat you can use it to flick shots. And yes TrackIR is freaking awesome, once you get the settings dialed in it is a game-changer. S!
Thx for your thoughts on the format, I wasn't really sure about it so happy to see someone liked it.
Very useful video. Explanation of what and why has been done, is that what learning player needs to have. Additional thanks for infocards!
Some great clips! I learned a lot from this. Last clip makes me want to see how you approach escorts and bombers as an interceptor when they have altitude on you
Thanks for the idea I will keep it in mind when I have good footage. I try to only make videos of what I have filmed live and edit in my reactions to it and not necessarily just recreate things because I find it a bit too forced. I will keep it in mind though when I review footage.
I have been working on my aiming problem. Lol I can pretty much get people into the solution. But can’t seem to hit the target. This video has made the difference. Watch the videos and got the Robert Shaw book ACM. Had a working theory. I think this video has brought it all together. Thanks
Awesome thanks for the note
Great content...I liked the approach of watch first...then the narrative...The Image Links at the end were great as well...I feel IL' little bit smarter after watching. 😁
Great to hear, glad you found it useful
Just starting to look into MP on IL2 after a few months of only single player (my new retirement/COVID hobby). Having a very tough time ID-ing bandits, I guess only more practice will help. Good video and hoping to learn more from your other ones. [Subscribed, from 🇨🇦]
Hey there, you may find these settings helpful, please note I use gamma of 0.7 and not 0.8. It makes the game not as good looking but it is easier to see people cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/821200185141100545/842526544165077040/unknown.png
Thx for subscribing!
@@Enigma89 . I’ll give it a try, thanks! I already printed your silhouette aircraft ID chart for Axis planes but I’ll have to find one for British/US so that I don’t commit friendly fire (not flying Russian planes at this point). Next challenge … figuring out Discord 😵💫🥴
@@jcjammer8972 cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/782306684646195220/790929033189654548/image0.png This should help fill some of the gap. Discord is easy once you get used to it, it's like a blend between teamspeak and mIRC or slack. All of the big youtubers have their own discords, I have my own but it's not a huge one. Sheriff, Central, Requiem, Jorge, Finnish and Combat box are some of the largest discords in the IL2 community. There is also the unofficial il2 discord which can be found here: discord.gg/UXFKX6G
@@Enigma89 Looks like the chart I printed earlier … must study. 🤓 I just joined the IL2 Discord. Thanks again!
Outstanding video, tips and presentation.
Thank you! If you have any requests please let me know
That's a good one when dealing with target fixated enemies .....watch where their target is going...then you get an edge on lining up and taking your shot. Be careful don't become fixated on assuming he won't spot you goes without saying Tables can turn VERY QUICKLY .
Crazy helpful, thanks!
Thx so much for the support!
Thank you for the ID images
Your welcome thanks for your continued support on the channel.
Fk yeah great video even for a newbie. Thanks man 👍👍💯
Great lesson, I like the format. Where can I find that chart at 12:35 ?
Edit: never mind, I Just saw that you have a link to it. Thanks
Correct ...my aim improved by making little adjustments with the rudder .
Good shoots!
good video ty
What do you use to look around . I cant look around like that , are you using VR ?
I use trackir 5
I’d really like to fly with you guys man I feel like I could learn so much more in the sky on your wing. Is that possible? I’m in the WoVi or Finnish discord server usually
My personal schedule is very erratic of when i play. When i am on i get on finnish discord sometimes and other times i just play with friends. Depends on the day. The thing to realize is you can learn playing with others not necessarily just with me. So just hoo on finnish discord
@@Enigma89 good point. I’ve been playing il2 for about 4 months now and I’m getting the hang of it pretty well I think. before I got my pc I was playing a lot of war thunder with the Xbox hotas. I know that doesn’t really compare much other than understanding the concepts of flight and multiplayer interactions but I’m applying what I know to adapt to a more realistic environment and it’s working pretty well combined with soaking up as much knowledge I can find from various outlets. I like to fly with people whose teaching styles jive with the way I learn tho so hopefully we can fly together sometime for sure.
I find myself wondering why the Germans didn’t mount their gun sights an inch or two higher. (Sorry, 25 - 50 mm higher.) Pulling lead in a turn is pure penance.
is there still a presence of players in multiplayer mode?
Yes but not as consistent as covid and with the lag in recent IL-2 news on the next great battle
Excellent vid ! Curious what convergence you use for the 109 and FW?
Thx. 400m from f2 and on. The mc202 and e7 I use 250m.
@@Enigma89 cool thanks for the reply. Keep up the great vids.
@@Enigma89 does it matter for the macchi? all of its gun are mounted on the nose, correct?
@@Playmatessss I fly with the 20mm gunpods (On wings), you are still faster than the e7 with it on.
@@Playmatessss Convergence still matters for nose-only guns, as the setting also affects vertical convergence. You can set higher convergence to lob your bullets higher, which means you have to pull less lead to hit someone.
You might be tempted to set your convergence to the max, but that makes the "easy" shots a lot harder - i.e. where the bandit is not turning relative to you (like a bomber or an unaware fighter), which is why many players stick to 400m as a compromise for nose mounted guns (plus it's the default convergence, so many players are used to it).
Sorry but You didnt show how to shoot people on temporary airfields which are most of Your kills on this server
A strafing compilation will come!
Here you go ua-cam.com/video/vWGfoOTkeh4/v-deo.html
Thanks! I'm still trying to find out if this is a game that will let one player pilot a plane while another player operates as a gunner. I would love to find a game with a prop plane (any prop plane) that lets me and a friend fly in the same aircraft.
take a look at World War 2 Online - old but still a nice game imo!
You can fly gunner on IL-2 Great Battles bombers. Don’t know whether individual multi-player servers have restrictions. There are some old but epic videos with Bismarck and the BoTime wrecking crew flying this way. (They don’t take themselves particularly seriously. . .)
@@old_guard2431 Thanks!
what are you using to look around?
TrackIr 5
Unfortunately, it has become monotonous. With the combination of il2 having spotting issues and planes disappearing from plane sight has broken the server.
Maps need to be and stay historical. No 262's in Kerch for example. Gunners on bombers or attackers shouldn't always be novices.
I stopped playing seriously since tactics are useless. With OP'ed planes defeying the laws of physics to UP'ed bombs. But i believe that's a mixture of game mechanics and Server settings.
I'd love to see certain scenarios like with T.A.W., Ai convoys and or bases being discovered while on missions.
idk why i cant aim in this game! its just impossible for me i sometimes waste all my ammo and dont even hit the enemy a single time
Just takes practice. You should seriously watch gun cam compilations of the people who have good aim, I have some and you can check out Krupinski. You need to see what is and isn't viable and then you can start to practice on your own. Don't forget to use rudder.
