Yeah, its an excellent system and also means that no matter what, you always have something to put bombs on.
1 dropped over 20 tonnes, more than the other team put together and another guy on my team dropped i dont know how much. but they was doing more damage. Now i know to bomb the strip last :)
So the big hangers are actually the living zone ?
Its the tents 😆
Is this new since 2018 because i hit the tents and they instantly repair
Idk, but me and a friend used this map/picture like last week, and it was completely accurate. The “living zone” looks more like a couple of buildings, with an ATC, however airfields do look different at different BR’s so that could be why you might not recognise it.
Everything will repair until the living zone is completely dead/black
I think its broken, there are differnt airfields as i have seen 2 types on dover where each team has slightly differnt layout. Every time i hit the location shown in 2018 update it repairs after a short period of like 10 seconds but if i bomb the fuel depot it stays damaged.
Edit: your picture is for br 6 to 7 the 1 shown in update 2018 is for 1 to 5 BR.
This ^
I can tell you how frustrating it is flying a MiG-19 or Su-7 and finding a flight of Beagles (Il-28) and having them start shooting at me, or Sabres shooting my F-11f-1. I hope Gaijin can untie AI aircraft from the map and tie them to the bracket and team makeup.

What a load of crap, you work on 1 module and a random comes along carpet bombs the af and it instantly heals. I swear gaijin are trying to make players quit after handing over money
Well the “living zone” will also repair itself, keep in mind it does take a crap-ton of bombs to completely destroy a module, for me and my friend (flying F4 and F111 respectively), it took a total of 3 bombing runs to take out one module (2 runs with F4, 1 run with F111), with me in the F4 carrying 13 1000lb bombs, and my friend carrying 8 3000lb bombs. Comes out to a total of 50.000lbs of bombs to kill one module.
We mainly did it as a challenge to see if we could win the game by killing all the airfields, it was my first and last time bombing airfields lol
When I played 11.3 sim the airfields we targeted was nearly identical to the ones in the 2018 picture. We played on a small map too, Tunisia
I have lost due to all my bases getting destroyed and there was no where to land to rearm… but this was when I think there was something wrong and the AAA around airfields wasn’t working and I think the bases were especially weak.
Lately the most I’ve seen is one AF destroyed and maybe a couple modules here or there (probably almost always the one which repairs the modules, because I’ve never seen it healed once destroyed).
There was 1-2 month period where the AFs were bugged and it took around 2-4k of bombs per module to destroy them. It was possible for something like a Buc S2 to completely destroy an entire AF in a single sortie.
How are players able to lean outside of there plane and even look down the side and even stick there head above there cockpit?

VR or TrackIR allow for that.
You can also key bind the “head-movements” which will allow you to move your head, not quite outside your cockpit thought, but still pretty useful
I have been messing around with head movements and camera for a little while now, but what i seen was OP. If it is VR then it needs fixing as i believe what i seen in a replay was such an unfair advantage and so unrealistic. A pilot is generally strapped into his seat and would not be able to stick ones head through a window. The guy got like 20 kills with a spit and was turn fightihg zeros and winning
The problem is that while the pilot is strapped to his seat, the player is not.
So what will happen if the player crosses that are. For trackIR this isn’t an issue.
For VR this causes problems like motion sickness.
In IL2 the canopy is also a hard barrier in VR.
Feels correct and no motion sickness problem there.
But I doubt gaijin will add these borders to the ~800 planes in the game.
I mean, it’s SIM.
We can be happy if we get one small Bugfix per 3 months…

I play in VR and love it, but it it is like flying without your glasses if you’re nearsighted - you can’t see a damn thing - and that’s when things are actually rendered for you (often times things don’t render until they’re 200 meters away).
Yea I can stand up and lean outside the cockpit but it’s really not that useful - other than looking down at the ground and around obstructions in the cockpit.
I suppose you could likely manipulate it so you’re in a 3rd person view if you’re really interested in being lame.
Gaijin could (I believe) put in a barrier at some point around the plane that if you cross the screen goes black but finding that line can be tricky, because you don’t want to have it so you get too close to the cockpit wall and your screen goes black and like you said, you can’t un-sync the HMD from your actual motion or it gets vommity quickly (so a hard barrier preventing your head from moving is out of the question).
