Sunday 29th : Flight Night?

[Zak33]

soon I guess...soon

Let me ask you lot a question?

What would you like in your missions? What time of day? More ground attack or less?

Some of the best I've ever flown were against hordes of slow stuff with minimal fighter cover because it makes you feel good when you own a few fighters and bombers....but a challenge is good for you, and IL-2 vs the heavy flak....well I think that's the ultimate challenge sometimes.

So: Tell me your favourite 3 planes each...and I'll balance good missions for you.

I want :

1 Plane thats a light bomber
1 plane that's an out and out fighter
1 plane that's can do both.

and i'll sort it

Mud moving for me! I probably need to do some dogfighting though...

[Nick Smith]

light bomber: Mosquito? if that counts...
fighter: spitfire/ Fw
both: IL-2

a bombing raid would be good i think (as in B-29s and escort of fighters)

i've never tried one of them before....

Had my sister and her hubby over this weekend otherwise i'd have been up.

I'll try and catch the next one.

Bum it. I am still having server timeouts, despite uninstall/reinstall. Must be my connection. I am however due a windows re-install. I am not a happy bunny.

[Nick Smith]

you've tried everything?

just trying to think what else it could be...

[Zak33]

its internet connection...im sure of it. gutted for you.

[menthel]

Makes no sense, seen as I was playing before hand. I wonder if the ts install did somehow muck up my settings. Anyways a bout of insomnia last night allowed me to reinstall windows, so will try il2 tonight again.

Sorry I missed this flight night :S I was out with the missus, but my brother and I used to play this on a LAN at home, I used to try and recreate historic battles with his guidance.

I even made a level reminicent of that air battle in 3D Mark 2003 with the mustangs and b-17s at high altitude .

But yes, the missions where you have to scramble to shoot down wave after wave of bomber was VERY entertaining.

I also enjoyed torpedo missions a lot.

I like a range of planes in IL-2 but my favourite three are:-
Yak-3
B-109-G 1943 (Late) [ one of the later models anyway with the rounded nose cone ]
Spitfire [ one of the later models ]

Can't promise I'll be able to fly tonight as its quite difficult to tear away from the missus when she gives you an offer you can't refuse

[Nick Smith]

i don't even know if we are flying tonight...

might be some time over the weekend

[menthel]

Disco have gone with reinstall, it seems! Cross your fingers everyone! When can I get shot down next?

[Nick Smith]

any time apart from friday evening is good for me (upgrading), and sunday during the day... off to the leicester game

any other time should be fine
