Airacobra (IL2 1946) Enigma : Gravity Of Love

My favourite aircraft from the PC flight sim IL2 Sturmovik. The Bell P-39 Airacobra. This is my first attempt using Windows movie maker, could have done with being better quality, but my pc couldn't hack rendering it.

Sorry, I just never liked the Airacobra. It's probably amazing with people who know how to use it, but I just think there are better airplanes that have the engine in the correct spot. Don't know what they were thinking when they put the engine in the middle of the aircraft like a jet.

Put the engine on the CofG and then fill the nose up with a BIG F'off gun and loads of ammo. Worked OK but the engine was the P-39's weak link.

Guncam is just the cockpit view cycled to gunsight only then converted to black & white in Movie Maker. Check out Mission4today for skins, mods n stuff.

5 people missed the "thumbs up" button. I like the camera angles you employed. One suggestion is to try MAT Manager for IL-2. It replaces the markings with more realistic ones, and enables historical swastikas (German) and hakaristi (Finnish).

AWESOME VID!!! Like they've said good for a first. What is the music?

Many other Il-2 pilots think that the P-39 is a piece of junk that spins easy and stalls all the time. It is actually quiet an excelent airplane in the right hands. Its has good speed, heavy armament, good rear visibility, not too bad in high speed turns if kept just within limits.Overall, I agree its one of my favorite airplanes to fly.

Love the p-39!

If i remember correctly this plane was dubbed the widow maker because of the shaft that run from the engine under the cockpit to the prop so when a belly landing was performed the shaft would kill the pilot

to be filed amongst the useless info dept

There is something attractive with the P-39, maybe because it was the first plane that I flew on Il-2 :p. Anyway, if you learn to push it to its limits (without passing them), make use of its strong points and take advantage of that heavy and concentrated firepower you have at your disposal, it makes a good dogfighter, a kick-ass bomber-killer an a nice mud-mover.
