IL2 Birds of Prey: Hints, Tips, and FAQ's Thread

[Mk10Raven]

So it's like, follow the leader, shoot the bomber, bomb the trucks, and something else.

Got it. Finally. Now of course I have to re-do the missions on sim to get the pretty gold wings. <sigh>

So is it normal practice to use the full view initially in simulator to find targets and then switch to cockpit view to fight? Just want to make sure I'm not breaking flight-sim man-law here.

I wish you could have follow view in simulator mode, because once a WWII aviator has his eye on his "prey," he (or she in the case of the Russian Air service) was usually able to follow its flight path in the sky. Of course in sim mode, I guess you're not really locked onto anyone really.

Any hints or tips folks use to fly missions and online combat in sim mode would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
