I wouldn't bank on it. That guy got real lucky I think, Air to Ground rockets aren't meant to take down transports. The Ju planes are pretty tough though, they take a while to down even with the firepower on your IL2.

[SEE]

Manston Mission and Hornets Nest. I found it easier to do these missions in 'realistic' since there are only half as many enemy a/c in this mode.

The Inspect Airfields I found difficult too untill I went to the Northern airfield first and then to the other two flying south. The runways lined up far better on approach. I watched my rate of descent and touched down at about 100mph all guns firing and at about 40mph used rudder. Never tried the touch and go as I didn't know that would be acceptable.....Doh! Rather than fly to the airfields I practiced a few touch downs on any suitable fields as soon as the mission starts, theres quite a few and it helped me fine tune my rate of descent and speed.
