IL2 Sturmovik Dogfights #1 - "Round One"

[dnch]

damn, you are good

[BigSilverHotdog]

@dnch This video is such a joke looking back, just when I was just starting to get reasonably decent. Watch one of the later ones, like #10, #15, #17, #22... a few of my personal favourites.

[dnch]

@BigSilverHotdog will do

[acdcdave1387]

Dumb question here but I'm somewhat new to Sturmovik...how do you zoom in and out so fluid like? I only know to change the FOV with DEL/END/PGDN keys. Apparently there's another way?......or perhaps are you using TrackIR?

[BigSilverHotdog]

@acdcdave1387 Track IR. There are other ways to zoom with fluidity but they require external "hack" addons such as SANS FOV Changer.

[acdcdave1387]

@BigSilverHotdog Thanks for the quick reply!

[torque2802]

3:50 - 4:05 really clever manouver

[BigSilverHotdog]

@onecheman ki-27 is a great aircraft for era and totally outclasses the hurricane in a dogfight. It's not my fault that skill matters.

[masan3llo]

its me to really hard to aim at multiplayer, do you really closeup the aim when you start shooting or is that just for the video?

[BigSilverHotdog]

@masan3llo Yes it is hard and yes I use closeup a lot, not always, but usually.

PAUSE IT AT 1:36 LOOK AT THE KILL SHEET ATTLIA16 WAS IN THAT MATCH!!!!!!!!!!

[BigSilverHotdog]

@kingev101 I take it that was you?

[kingev101]

@BigSilverHotdog no not me if you look at the youtuber attlia16 you'll see that he also has vids of this game but im not sure if thier still up anymore

[BigSilverHotdog]

@brisco31 No problem.

[BigSilverHotdog]

@brisco31 There is plenty of G.

[ramivei]

all I can say is just WOOOOOOOOOW ! you are very good virtual pilot! can you say what is your convetgence distance? it's just beutifull. can you give me tips how to hit more air targets?

[BigSilverHotdog]

@ramivei 300 for all nose guns, 200 or 220 for all wing guns except FW190 which is 300 for both. Some energy fighters I use 300 for wing guns too if I expect to be fighting at high speed and/or high altitude (F4U or Tempest for example). Lots of practise is involved also, and good equipment.

[ramivei]

@BigSilverHotdog thanks for the answer but how can you set deferent convergence for wing cannons and nose cannons?

[BigSilverHotdog]

@ramivei if the aircraft has mixed armament placement (of same MG or cannon type) you use the setting to match up with your most powerful guns -- i.e. with a P40B I'd use 300m because of the 2 nose 50cal, but with a P40E with all 50 cal wing guns I'd use 200 or 220. If the aircraft has mixed placement of multiple types (nose cannon, wing mg, for example) use a mixed convergence to match to the weapon type. A6M 300mg, 220 cannon, for example.
