Lol funny vid

[BigSips]

just wondering what stick you recommend im looking into one and asking loads of sources first

[pdittrich]

@BigSips i started w/ a saitek x-1. lol but they don't sell that one no more. r8 now i use x-52, cost me a hundred something bucks but is worth every penny. got basically EVERY function in iL2 mapped on it, sometimes six per button. got a lower buget, like me ~10yrs ago? cyborg evo ($30 then) did the job.

generally, just take care it has (or in the end you have) throttle, coolie hat and at least 2 axis, 3 if u don't want to get rudder pedals. oh, and go HOTAS. that helps a lot.

you're welcome.

Hi!

Great videos, but whats the name of the plane in 8:40 ?

[pdittrich]

@antebigon Me-323 Giant ("Gigant" in german).

[cooldued11]

why is your pilot in a tux?

[microwavesix]

Thanks for these videos! I watched the whole series! I just started playing IL-2 1946 and these videos really helped alot! My first kill(kind of ) was a B-25 bomber. I hit it's left engine and it set ablaze. It started spiraling down and I felt proud, then all of the sudden some guy comes out of nowhere and shoots it just as it's about to crash and he gets the kill! Whatever, I have a feeling that I'll be getting some more kills soon :)

[pdittrich]

@microwavesix you are welcome! enjoy the game!

[ofir2008]

Thanks!!! :)

Now I'm having another problem xD

cant aim right, didnt manage to hit someone even on the single palyer :P

[pdittrich]

@ofir2008 somewhere i read beginners should try to down allied planes first, because they won't turn away. else try something like the c-47, or the me-323 without ammo. then continue with ww1 fighters like the p11 or those biplanes they have in there. succeding, the top level would be equal or better fighters.
