IL-2 (1942) in War Thunder | The Supermaneuverable Tank

[@magicmissile7533]

Always thought that the most prop attackers in game had a shitty playstyle of going in first and getting targeted by the entire enemy team and dying early, but seeing this now, i might just try it with a friend while we're grinding USSR...

[@CatWerfer]

Yeah the rush in and take a bunch of headons playstyle can get boring. This plane is rank 2 so shouldn't take too long to get. Another reason why it does so well is because you also tend to face a lot of newbies

[@cs_1377]

The amount of people who would full commit head ons against this thing in fighters is concerning

[@CatWerfer]

well, it is low tier after all...

IL-2 when A-36 👁️👄👁️

[@CatWerfer]

yeah the il2 is kinda just better in almost every way, faster guns, better turn

[@ozan1234561]

@@CatWerfer a-36 just has way better retention, if you can make il-2 miss on the first turn its over

[@CatWerfer]

@@ozan1234561 i think the video speaks for itself

[@frank3222ful]

The IL-2 always had broken physics.. They can just do random shit, things which fighters are incapable of.

[@CatWerfer]

i mean i dont think it flies impossibly well but it is a bit silly

[@frank3222ful]

@@CatWerfer It's climbrate and engine can be lacking, but you can just yank the whole plane in any direction randomly reacting to threats, and it does it right away, while in most fighters, there are several seconds of delay.

[@CatWerfer]

it is pretty funny to see it turn with a spitfire ngl

[@Dixiekov]

what are the belts you were using? You could be unlucky and hitting them with the one (1) AP round in your air target belt. That has gotten me killed a few times in a 190 or Zero before

[@CatWerfer]

maybe. from my experience its just the poor fire rate

[@josippetkovic389]

so is that plane one circle or 2 circle plane?

[@CatWerfer]

I think one circle. I dont really understand the 1 vs 2 circle fight theory cuz i mostly figured out dogfighting with trial and error but from what i know the tight turn of the il2 is good for 1 circle?

[@josippetkovic389]

@@CatWerfer Maybe those tight turns qualify it for half-a-circle fighter then... something new

[@CatWerfer]

@@josippetkovic389 ufos don't abide by the principles of physics or dogfighting theory so I guess that makes sense lmao
