It's a bug. When planes start takeoff in line it happens that wingmans get in front of the leader and when they switch to normal flight in formation they try to correct their position and often hit the ground in a process.

Easiest solution would be to have fixed TO timing with No1 starting first, No2 second and so on.

I've had this happen.

It helps much if you set the first waypoint immediately after takeoff to an echelon formation to compliment the turn.

A small graphics bug concerning the following Stationary Airplanes:

IL-2M, 1942 (first series)

IL-2M, 1942 (later series)

*Note the floating helmets above the rear gunner stations. (see screenshots)

Aviar

Some AA issues, German 88 AAA doesn't seem to throw up much flak, i ended up changing it for the Jap 75mm AAA.

USS Dent, Ward only seem to have one AA machine gun, it should have http://www.navsource.org/archives/10/04/04009.htm

Also, no numbers on IL2T, Type3, 3M Sturmoviks.

Aircraft with dead pilot or bailed pilot will sometimes keep flying and climbing.

Sometimes there's a landing bug when you select the "straight in" landing sequence, aircraft will sometimes bunch up and crash into each other on landing.

Aviar, i dont have that with my game, maybe graphics driver issue...?

This might not be a bug depending on the aircraft's trim and vector when the pilot was killed/bailed out, especially if the plane was on autopilot when hit. It can be quite realistic (e.g., the B-24D "Lady Be Good" which flew on for miles and landed relatively unharmed after it's doomed crew bailed out).

The Dent and Ward we have in the non modded game are both in their Destroyer configuration, not the later APD modification.

Check it again in the FMB with stationary aircraft. Floating helmets are there, indeed.

Not a big issue (and already reported for 4.11), but the Mc.200 3 has a 'ghost' mirror only visible in external view.

Same mirage, but with another PC, video card and drivers.

May be can we name this illusion a bug.

Hi!
I'm not sure if it's a bug, but the BRS-132 (russian rockets) seems to do no damage to ships. I fired over 20 rockets at the ship close to the airbase in the solomons map, but it did not sink.
The RS-132, ROFS-132 and M-13 can sink it in a few hits.
There is also a bug in the first russian P-47 mission(single missions\USSR\P-47\P-47 N1). The torpedo bombers that are supposed to attack the german convoy spawn underwater.
