Lots of people CRASHING their planes to avoid giving kills

If you exchange moves for strategies, that is exactly what’s supposed to happen. Eventually you are going to discard the tactics that don’t work if that’s 20% so be it.

The development of strategy is narrowing down the available options into the ones with the highest likelihood of success.

I argue that we have the freedom to choose any strategy we want, moves if you will, but we’re not guaranteed that any of them will work.

Basically,…

So you admit that if everyones goes by J-out and Crash each time they started to get targeted it will be a waste of time to play the game?
Thank you,…

What emotion? I’m coldly trying to tell you what is wrong by doing/allowing such kind of “pro-choice/pro-move”, because it will be reproduced by the main part of the community before long.

So last night someone took this to a new level - I was lining up a shot on a guy shooting down my bombers (in Sim EC) and another guy came in from off-screen rammed into the guy I was about to shoot and the IL-2 they both were aiming at - giant fireball and a fresh pair of blue balls for me.

It was like something out of a Ryan Johnson movie.

Not really ,reduction of open map space limits strategy greatly and the choices you had in terms of positioning three years compared to now were far less limited.You could use cover to snipe if you found a good spot ,now any good spot is reported and removed.

Soft cover was removed and made the use of open SP guns less attractive which was a bit of a blow if that was your favoured method of play.Saying the game is not a sniping game is unwelcome news to a sniper just like nerfing CAS is bad news to a flyer.

The freedom is certainly on the way out no doubt.

Why would I stay stick and stay alive if fire and forget munitions have been lobbed at me and there’s absolutely nothing I can do about it do on big open maps? Maybe gaijin needs to design better maps until then I’ll just take the smarter option

Let us forget about limited angle of mounted mgs!

its always the chinese players doing it too

Typically it is enough to get low fliers

If we need to rely on players being bad to be able to do something, then it is not a reliable tactic.

Up to like 9.0 they have to go low to accurate drop bombs or fire rockets

Lmao, tell me more about things You don’t know about.

Flying so low that ground players can use mounted mg on You is just a skill issue, nothing more.

Idk about 7.62 but
50 cals can reach most planes that are doing attack runs near you

If enemy air user is just bad.

How is a p51 with bombs gonna land a perfect hit on a moving target from more than 1km?

Why do You need to be over 1km away?

You just attack from an angle that no one can hit You.

That’s not possible in the games maps

Of course it is possible.

90 degree angle attacks are quite easy to do and there isn’t a tank that has a mounted mg that can hit You (or I’m not aware of it).

If plane users sees that tank is trying to hit him, he can always do another approach from an angle that tank can’t fire at.

Most of the time I’m shooting at a plane attacking someone else, just bc you are safe from the tank you are attacking doesn’t mean you are safe from his teammates

Great to hear, espeically when we were talking about player vs player situation.

Not to mention that if You know that there is a guy aiming at You, as a plane You can attack someone who is further away.
