I don’t remember ever seeing a bot Il-28… usually at these tiers they’re stuff like Me-262

I’ve seen the IL-28 like twice, but yeah the Me-262A-1a/Jabo is so much more common

It’s usually a reconnaissance plane target on EC maps iirc.

This is about rb though innit?

7

Yeah, they are on EC maps in RB as well, aren’t they?

8

Isn’t RBEC gone though?

I mean random air RB battles on EC maps, not exactly RB EC, you can get into such maps at high brs.

Oh alright wasn’t aware that some of these were EC maps

Roughly around the 7.7-8.7 region, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bot IL-28. It’s mostly split between F3D and Me 262/R2Y2 for the first half of early jets and MiG-15 Ish and A-4B for the second half

Just curious, is it still skyhawks at top tier?

I haven’t gone that far up air, highest I’ve gotten is 9.3

Alright then. Well I’m at 10.0/10.3 so I oftentimes see 11.0/11.3 and the bots are still skyhawks so…

Can be F-104’s, F-5’s, Su-7’s and Su-24’s on some maps.
The F-5’s in particular fly in such tight formations that you often get multiple kills per missile.

Edit: They also cruise around at absurdly high speeds, very much using a UFO flight model.

Reminds me of that one time I attacked a trio of ai skyhawks that were flying so close to each other that I legit took all three of them out with a single round in the middle one
