Spitfire graphical shortcut

Yeah, they can do that, but then they forget to add brakes to the joystick layout and don't test enough to determine that crashes don't credit the responsible opponent. Very sloppy, IMHO.

Good call out, guys. I would have never noticed this. This is good stuff to know, since the only thing you'll see these days is Spitfires. And you'll be shooting them down. In your Spitfire. My IL-2 shirts all have Spitfires on them. They must have released them knowing what was going to happen ahead of time. I'd love to fly against a He-162, or a Hurricane, or an La-7/La-5, or Bf-109 series, or...hell, anything. Anything, other than ten player rooms with nine Spitfires.

My apologies.

Personally I thank all the gods of aviation for rookies in Spits...

(Very nice observation dkwookie! I would never have noticed).

Well it's my favourite plane so the more the merrier as far as I am concerned. I still see a nice mix in most games though. Lots of hurricanes and 109s. I think if a 109 had bombs it would be used more often in capture airfields.

Sure, they have bombs dk. It's that thing between the wings, just behind the engine. Every plane has those! Point it at the target, ram it, and boom! Explodes!

Ah that's the 150lb smart bomb, aka Divine Wind?

I hear it's not very accurate but doesn't require a great deal of training to use

Yeah, it's a smart bomb. Grade School educated, too! I hear they make a warning noise too, as if a pre-pubescent kid was whining so you know when you have a trained kamikaze pilot on your team. Very good warning.
