Il2 battle of Normandy A pair of p39 demolish an airfield

[@20100]

I love how thos plane sometimes sound like an angry toy but instantly became badass as soon as it fly threw the fire of it's target!

[@80s_ford_fanatic]

Definitely from certain angles they are very buzzy

Flak must have been asleep. real world German airfields were swarming with 20mm and you'd have had a hot reception.

[@80s_ford_fanatic]

This was our second flight in, whenever we strike targets the first thing we hit is aaa. We hit them and a few targets near them and went and rearmed for this flight.

How come you are 'one-shot-ing', are they explosive shells you are firing?

[@80s_ford_fanatic]

Yea the 37mm on the p39 has an all HE belt. It also depends on the server that you are on, this was on "wings of liberty" which let's .50 and above destroy most ground targets. Some servers require bombs/rockets for ground targets

War Thunder wishes it was!

[@andrzejrada86]

What was the reason for overheating engine and what did you do to prevent it happening again ?

[@80s_ford_fanatic]

It was all me. I haven't flown the p39 enough to find the "sweet spot" for the manual radiator settings. So eventually I just put the at 100% open.

@andrzej rada no problem, the learning curve is a little steep. But once you get a feel, it is an awesome sim
