Managed to rip the left gear off here but somehow kept her in the air, raised the right gear, closed the canopy and lived to fly another day. You just gotta love this game!

  • Nope, IL2-1946. Get it, it's old but still amazing.

  • omg! that was awsome! Great flying! im not worhty!

  • Thanks mate. Better flying still would have been not to rip the gear off in the first place!!

  • How was the landing? Did you end up in the drink?

  • Oh, I made it down OK. There was just the small issue of the raging fireball my Seafire turned into on hitting the deck! Other than that, a perfect landing!

  • Looks like you had a few too many before your flight there.

  • Sadly no, was stone cold sober!

  • Lucky - as - hell ;)

  • @cineboy99 lol old have u seen ther latest updates.

  • X-plane?

  • @cineboy99 shoulda tried to land without landing gear. you don't have to even put down the arresting hook; friction will do the rest. Just have to come down gently, otherwise you die. The only side-effect is a bent propeller.

  • I will not come forward with an airplane on a boat as I am how is it done?

  • My grandfther was a navigator in a B-17 with the 91st bomb group he was on a mission over Germany and his bombee took a flak hit in the left wing and knocked out the hydraulics for the left landing gear it was the scariest landing he ever had so many things could go wrong. to top it all off they lost the wrench that could lower it manually the ball turret gunner saw it fall out of the bomb bay during the bomb run which was all so when they got hit in the wing.

  • sooo... how you gonna land?

  • @cineboy99 are you an aussie coz ur using an RAAF sea/spitfire???
