What's often? And are there any accounts on successful use of this?
To me it seams to be a specific thing that may have happened just on the Eastern Front. It's similar to all the planes dropping bombs just in pairs because the Russians did so.
Seriously, the problem is that tanks act like AAA installments as soon as planes come close. They forget about everything while attacking planes. Not to mention that I've had quite some unbelievable "killed by tank main gun" situations in multiple years of Il-2 experience. They hit at any angle they can shoot at, regardless of the target's parameters. But this is a general AAA problem which just becomes most obvious by the tank gunnery.

This was a long time ago when systems were 16/32/64mb GPU and processors were @ 1500- 1800 mhz but don't quote me on exact numbers here 
1 tank = 4
1 AAA = 3
4 AI Bombers = 8
Oleg said regarding bombers the AI capability was to simulate you attacking a larger formation with half the aircraft, again don't quote me directly as this was along time ago.
So regarding tanks and artillery and AI behaviour it might be the TD.DT guys can "officially" do something. |
If that's right, it should be changed to 1:1 immediately. I remember we had bullet packages of 1:2, 1:3 and even 1:4 or 1:5 in the first Il-2 versions. They all were changed to 1:1 except the MG 17.
I flew a mission with 50+ bombers some weeks ago in an online coop. No problem. But it would have been 5+ years ago. But now, we all have better rigs that can handle more stuff. Get rid of any "packaging" things and make it more realistic 1:1. I'd even drop the graphics for it if it would be too slow then. I don't have the most recent hardware, but I run '46 with LandGeom at up to 150fps now. I know that others already had this 3-4 years ago with expensive rigs at that time. But now you'll spend some 500-800 bucks for a complete rig that has this power.
