No, that actually happened at least once, and I think it was several times.You could use the airflow over your wingtip to nudge the V-1 into a roll and it would go out of control. Not an ideal way to do it, but it was tough to shoot down a V-1 by any standard. It was very small and it could explode and kill you if you were anywhere near it.
YES! The fifty cals are so historically inaccurate in this sim. But, if you nail a 109 ror 190 right in the engine or about 7 inches behind the cockpit, they go right down.
Most RAF pilots used this tactic to down v1's. Of course you can shoot it down but if it goes off in the air it can damage your plane. V1's had a good explosion radius.
Well done Ronk66! Wizard show ol' chap, you certainly showed Fritz who the boss is! Back to the Mess now for tea & medals!! lol Nice piece of flying-good effort Ronk DFC! :)

The Tempest Mk V had 200 rounds per gun, alot better than the Mk IIc Hurricane with 90 rounds and somewhat better than the Typhoon with 140 rounds.

hawker built one mean motherfucker in the form of tempest...
it's my favorite plane, very fast, agile, powerful armament (4x20mm, much better than any puny .50s that suck so much in this game :D)
I mean the recoil with fifty cals is ridiculously high in mustangs for example, not to mention they barely dent any other aircraft except zeros...

Nice flying indeed... takes skill to keep the Tempest steady to do this act!
But as far as the stock IL2 sounds go... :-[ which has nothing to do with you flying skills!
Suggestion, get the latest soundmod from AAA ;-)

Just so you know, that is a Typhoon, not a Tempest.

It's definitely a Tempest, it has the bigger fin and the more elliptical wing

quite clever, you did it without waste ammunition!
nice asset in case that you run out of bullets after a dog fight and your plane is the last hope to avoid the V1 hit a city.
