You know it's a good kill when... - Page 8

I even have our biggest nay sayer, and former RAF jet jock, flying online again.

But all is not a bed of roses, be sure.

Still lots of niggling issues, but when you get in the air it's worth it. CLOD really does make IL2 look like a children's toy.

Whatever you are discusing here:

I SCORED MY FIRST ONLINEKILL TODAY!

Sat in a Hurricane, managed to shoot down 2 bf109 and 1 bf110! What a day!

Those were unexperienced pilots i guess, and i have to admit that I crashed into the first bf109 after it emergency-landed, but i am proud

Strange enough i have smoother performance online, so I hope some of you guys will see me at 6 o´clock high once in a while...

Good night

I can't seem to work up as much enthusiasm for Il-2 1946 anymore, that's for sure, I've been playing RoF a lot instead ("HERESY!" I hear you cry). The day that 1C crowbar a campaign engine like that into CloD I will be a happy man indeed, especially since CloD's SP and MP missions are by design interchangeable if I recall. Dynamic online campaigns in a cutting-edge WWII sim? Yes please! That and concentrate a lot of effort on the FMs and I will definitely be a convert for all time.

Good work Continu0! I think I've only shot down my brother and my old man so far, hahaha.

I hope the offline side improves a lot. While I'm not an offline player in the least, there are a large majority of players that are, and I want all of us to be satisfied with the sim. The more that like it, the more it will improve over time for all of us.

Congrats, Continu0! There's no kill like an online kill!

Agreed. I prefer the offline side of the sims I play to be good because I use the offline portion a lot to practise deflection shooting and systems management of the aircraft before I venture online in a frequent manner. Even when I had a lot of time I didn't play Il-2 online a lot really, so I think you can imagine that now I've started a job in online retail and with Christmas coming up I don't really have time for lengthy MP sorties at the moment, which is a shame!
In fact I'm beginning to live up to my avatar. Bloody Christmas.

Well said!

I must be the worst pilot on CoD then cause I can't even beat the Hurri's driven by the AI

They've obviously got no stomachs because I get sick just watching them dance around in front of me when they're trying to evade. lol

In my tests as I suggested:

Then repeat it in manual same Max ATA (without WEP) Both Rads full open ... Any RPM you choose.... wait till the acceleration stops ... tell us your end IAS and RPM you used."

http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showpos...6&postcount=57

I get the exact same end game speed whether in AUTO or Manual. 440-450Kmh IAS.

There is NO way I can get 50Kmh better in manual.

What you obviously can do in manual is set up your own ATA/RPM combinations that might be beneficial in say a 1.25ATA climb. AUTO at 1.25ATA throttle position will give you 2100RPM where you might do better manually selecting 2300RPM. Personally I use MANUAL for any long term type situations with less than max throttle position. In Combat or any time I have full throttle AUTO.

RPM is tied to throttle position NOT ATA. Below FTH ATA is also directly proportional to throttle position.

I will do it tonight didnt get the chance last night.

P.s. I'm sure some can get ~500kmh out of a 109 buts it's quite hard.

Also who flies with rads full open!!!! I will just do it with the rad settings I always use.
