Which IL-2s can kill light pillboxes or tanks with cannons?

>>124024924
nearly any il-2 should be able to kill light pillboxes with cannons, the only one that might have trouble is the final il-10.

nearly any il-2 can probably kill light tanks(preferably from the rear), again the final il-10 might have trouble with it

of course the real star tank killer in the il-2-37 with dual 37mm cannons, who can prey even on medium tanks in exchange for flying like even more of a hog

>>124024130
where can i subscribe ))))

whats with so many wing-mounted guns? is the rate-of-fire between propellor blades that big of a limitation? i thought they had that technology figured out as far back as ww1

>>124025868
Only Brits and Murrikans were primarily wing mounted. Japs, Germans and Soviets had nose mounted guns.

There is less room to fit weapons in the nose though and there are difficulties with vibration and heat when mounting a gun in a blast tube between cylinder banks as Germans and Soviets did.

That's why Bf 109 B, D and E models had guns in the wings for example.

375KB, 1200x1600px

>>124025868
You can use a bigger engine if you're not also trying to fit guns in there.

>>124025868
How do you expect to fit 4-6 MGs in the nose? That's why there's usually 2 small caliber MGs or 1-2 cannons of varying size that can be placed in the nose. Fitting more in means complete redesign of the plane, because then you get front heavy, need a bigger nose, need a bigger engine, and so on.

Game actually has weather. Game models the inner workings of your plane's engine, so individual pieces can be damaged and eventually fail. The single-player grind isn't even mandatory to get upgraded stuff, plenty of servers have it all unlocked.

Putting weight in the wings is convenient for center-of-mass issues as well as wing-stress issues. There's also a lot of room out there in the thick subsonic wings of the day.

>>124033468
You really have no clue. Strange that rolls-royce don't use tin and steel too, instead of nickel-chromium and titanium for exactly those parts which had to be replaced every 25 hours. But i guess you know more about jet engine design than rolls-royce engineers.

>>124042957
machines that were designed to engage opponents at long ranges were probably judged to not be needing speedy fast turret rotation. indeed, slow rotation could be helpful in maintaining accuracy and precision at long distances

It's quicker with the 23mm but you can do it without it.

Short burst from a bit further out with the 23mm, longer burst at closer range with only the 12.7mm.

WOWS is doing many times better than WOWP ever did.

>>124062842
Except flight simulators have been a big thing for ages. WT made planes accessible to the masses who couldn't play real flight-sims before. Ships on the other hand have never been a big unless it's age of sail.

No. They were an ultra niche genre with laughably low sales.

>>124063025
>WOWP ever did
That's because WoWP was a gigantic turd in every regard.

>>124062949
Has there ever been a ship game? Tankfags had their Steel Beasts, plonfags had their DCS, but did boatfags have any games? Silent Hunter was just subs, right?

I think ships are a difficult vehicle to put in a game, because it's hard to make fights where you can't see your enemy fun.

>>124063084
And yet everybody knew about them. The reason why they were niche is because accessibility was pretty bad due to requiring lots of equipment and you couldn't just jump right in.
But look here: The moment WT comes out with it's mouse-aim that's easy to play it becomes a big hit.
Ships on the other hand were even more niche and hardly anybody knows about them besides the occasional mention of Silent Hunter.

well part of the challenge when it comes to discussing gaming trends is that general technology development plays a big role. over a decade ago this "free to play" thing was like "whhaaaaat??? but you NEED subscriptions to pay for your huuuge server fees mann" but now everybodys taking a crack at f2p shit because internet connectivity has become so widespread and affordable compared to how it used to be. so even if ppl tried to make tank games in the distant past, they wouldnt have been in the right place at the right time to garner fat online playerbases like wot was.

Doesn't matter.
Tanks on their own might have been boring but the moment you have an FPS with tanks in it they're the most coveted vehicle right after planes in them.
People loved tanks in Battlefield, Flashpoint, Red Orchestra and many more. Red Orchestra did tanks so well it had entire maps were people only played tank vs tank warfare.

Very slow.

You can spend an hour driving to a battle, or sitting for an equally long time "guarding" a village.

The game is also basically ded, so you need to be part of a clan to know when big battles will be arranged, though, I found a few by myself.

When it gets going, it's pretty much one of the best sim experiences, but that's a rare thing. Similar to Project Reality 2 in play style, but with less actually happening.

>You have a giant steel behemoth with many different weapon systems.
That moves slowly across a blue surface, you point your mouse at some dot 20km away from you, then you shoot and maybe get a hit.
Compared to tank and planes gameplay it's boring as fuck. With the smaller vehicles you have more control and more exciting combat. You have dogfights in planes and with tanks you use your environment to the best of your advantage. With ships you just sail around pointing at the enemy and slowly dodging incoming shells.

If modern warships were more exciting than planes or tanks then we'd see them in games more often. The only era in ships that pretty popular is the age of sail due to the fights being intense and close up.

>Any high-caliber guns that aren't Russian

Even the Yak-9T has some trouble killing mediums/tank destroyers from behind now, considering you used to be able to kill them in a single burst from the side.

>>124066753
>>124066683
Only big gunned plane I could see being useful is the 40mm armed Hurricane at 1.7 BR. Tanks at that BR have poor armour.

>>124065882
>>124065582
My guess is that it restricts movements after regaining consciousness. If your mouse is placed far from the center of the monitor upon regaining control the plane would previously jerk violently in that direction, potentially ripping the wings.

>>124066518

Not Hurricane IV; the anti-tank cannons don't damage tanks.

>>124065023
Works perfectly for me using the Steam version.

>>124067081
kek

Btw anybody know how at what BR the AC.13 stops being competitive.
It feels rather powerful when matched against reserves and I sorta feel bad for clubbing new players in it.

Simple steps that could be done in a few hours to improve GF SB:

>add internal commander's view like the driver's
>generic cupola or periscope overlay, depending on the vehicle
>put the camera position inside the vehicle for open vehicles
>add open hatch and visible commander when using roof camera
>move camera position to the commander's head
>in open vehicles, the commander stands up, as in the Hellcat
>make the hellcat commander sit down when inside

>>124057956
I can pen them from the front provided I'm not trying to hit the front plate from the side.
Have T-34-85s regularly bounce 88s to the center of the front plate when I can usually nuke them with my Panzer IV H/Panther D from the front that way.
Just Soviet bounce chances mostly. Oh, Burger 76 can punch through their front plate too provided you don't hit the black hole driver port.

>>124069338
>Simple steps that could be done in a few hours
You are completely ignorant about the game development process.

>>124067081

Even better would be the crewmembers giving a warning if a enemy tank enters their field of view.

Right now you're kind of overburdened in Simulator, because you have to be a gunner, driver, commander and at the same time keep track of your surroundings.

>>124072964

Not a good idea.

The crew would just auto-spot everything though cover.

Everyone is suffering the same handicap, so it's fine.

>>124073250
>The crew would just auto-spot everything though cover.
Why you immediately assume this?
The crew spotting skill would affect their ability to detect vehicles depending on several factors that affect their abilities, such as your own vehicle's movement, how far is the enemy, is the enemy moving, crew skill & health, is the enemy firing their weapons etc.

This seem pretty obvious to me. A timer is placed so you don't instant rip your wings (or the instructor doesn't "accidentally" rip it for you).

After going beyond 3 seconds, the limiter is off and you have permission to snap your wings off, which isn't going to happen because you just spent the last 3 seconds in a high G turn anyway.

I don't play heavy or medium bombers in sim because I like having a cockpit, but am I meant to believe that the Yer-2s only ever get 200 shots per trip to their base with their 20mm? If so, that's super shitty for an already bad plane.


>>124071004
Bong rockets are actually kinda shitty and taking rockets absolutely destroys any semblance of performance the plane has. It's better to take air target belts and hunt Ju 87s. t. bought the A13 Mk.II

>>124077175
They barely effect the performance after you're out of rockets tho.

>>124077457
Once you're out of rockets you only have two dinky 7.7s, so as long as you can get home your performance doesn't mean much.
