aircraft performance chart - Thank You!

Great flying & shooting! Are you a member of an online squadron?

Well done, scared 2 of them to death! 😆

Excellent.

Thank you so much for your great tutorials. So far it seemed impossible to control my plane, thanks to you, I am starting to enjoy il2. Cheers!

Hey Colonel! After starting IL-2 1946 for the first time I came across this channel and I must say - it has helped me greatly in so many areas of understand both the aircraft and techniques of flying/dogfighting! After watching many of your previous tutorials I've noticed a significant difference in my ability to maintain and manage energy. I feel like most rookie pilots (myself included) are somewhat impatient in how they approach a lot of these areas, but taking that extra time to climb, gain altitude and not spend 20 minutes just chasing the tail of an enemy has made a world of difference! Hope this message finds you well, all the best good sir

why il2 mosquito does not have an antenna ..

Love how u described immersion and realism, i want so much to find people that think gaming like this, it's so damn rare. Immersion is comms, tactics, fear, and so on but yea... immersion is that not over powered experience and so on. Well explained the issue about games today all based on breaking even and actually much beyond that with greedy non sensical dlc selling... I often said that: it's just like sticker album filling... seems people are too young to understand what I mean or never collected stickers. That's why I carefully select what to play and then also decide HOW to play stuff if I decide to buy. Hope to meet you. !

Hey Niny, where do you recommend me to start with IL2? Just GB Stalingrad or Flying Circus? I'm a newbie that has played some WT, some Rise of Flight (loved it) and I started with GB Stalingrad and it's great but I also have a bit of a hard time. Got a joystick and trackir and I also got some custom training missions but I don't know, maybe ww2 planes are too complex and I should get Flying Circus and properly start from there =? Thanks in advance

Is there any terrain deformation for things like runways where you can hit them and make it so planes have a hard time taking off

"Upload a photo of anyone you like!" -Proceeds to insert a pic of Hitler... lmao. XD

Can you explain what trimming at takeoff is ? I dont which one you mean. Also when I bind some of them, nothing happens in my cockpit. But besides that everything works great. Thanks Edit: I found it its under stabilizer

Short and simple - Thank you! Next question, can you explain mixture and running cold - especially in the N-17, I have a hard time keeping that one running properly, especially when descending and trying to keep the rpm down? Much appreciated!

I am way more shitty at landing with fully functional airplane than you with half of the 110 :) I wondered to what extent damage control can be done in this game. Thanks for sharing

Love the videos, been very helpful. You should do one on rudder control during fighting and turns, unless you already have one and I haven't seen it.

Adding a comment to help the “algorithm.” Good video, good channel, algorithm-challenged. A question: do you think that computer flying at night is made more difficult by lack of seat-of-the-pants attitude awareness? Seems like seat of the pants is a two edged sword, made all the sharper at night. I believe one of the Kennedys flew a light plane into the ground at night, the conclusion being he he failed to believe his instruments.

'Knowing your opponent's aircraft" excellent sequence.

I would appreciate a video about Single Player pros and cons in IL2. I still like il21946 offline because offline AI is very smart and you can command yours wingmen (they are good too and do not go far away after a few seconds). How is the AI in IL2 ?

Played IL2 /46 and GBS since 2005. Had so much fun with my squad mates (who became real life friends). DCS has pretty much supplanted GBS in our squad now and it’s not my cup of tea. Great while it lasted though 👍🏻 I just fly career mode off line now.

I play War Thunder. I also am too old and too slow for top tier battles and prefer vehicles near WWII vintage or thereabouts. My channel is _much_ smaller with 233 subs. I think it has a lot to do with how niche my gameplay is as I _only_ play the battle pass challenges. I have subscribed as I enjoy watching vintage aircraft in action.

I've always been good at deflection shooting, in air combat sims. I've been flying in online sims since Red Baron 2 (1997). In IL-2 Cliffs of Dover - Blitz, I have my RAF fighter's wing guns set for pattern convergence, because it is better suited for scoring hits on single engined fighters when mixing it. My customised ammo belts only have tracer in the outermost guns and I have one observer (exploding) bullet every 6 bullets for my 303 machineguns because these instantly kill bomber gunners plus ignite any fuel leaks that the target might have. They also freak out enemy players when they see flashes all over their plane. Some other experienced CloD RAF players use dual spot convergence, for wing guns. Here's a 303 / 7.92mm. bullet guide: Lead / Ball rounds - Splats against target's internal armour. Rips aircraft's skin from any angle. Punctures unarmoured fuel tanks. Makes large holes in radiators. Kills & wounds aircrew. Observer / Beobachtung rounds - Makes little explosions where it hits. Kills aircrew instantly. Ignites fuel leaks. Destroys control surfaces. Incendiary rounds - Causes fires on the target aircraft. Armour piercing rounds - Can penetrate up to 13mm. of RHA @ 0 degrees @ 100 yards, up to 8mm. of RHA @ 0 degrees @ 250 yards and up to 3mm. of RHA @ 0 degrees @ 500 yards. All He-111 bombers, except the P2 variant, have a 8mm. RHA armour plate in the tail to prevent bullet hits, from directly astern, travelling up the length of the fuselage. The engine nacelles have internal 8mm. RHA armour plates on their rear. Able to penetrate engine blocks. Tracer rounds - Come in a variety of colours. Shows the fall of the shots. Some are also less effective incendiary rounds.

Good video cheers! I’m sure we’ve crossed paths on combat box on more than a few occasions.

Q 1 : why no Tobii support ?

4:03 Nice to find someone propping team play! ^5 *--Dawks **_[PIR]_*

With your extensive experience , I would like to know if you have encountered a problem my game is having. One day I logged on, tried to start a new pilot career and it just infinitely loaded, and has done so ever since. I have genuinely tried everything, but I've had no luck. Is this something you've encountered ?

My IL-2 always loses elevator control rods on the first burst. Appreciate the short advice on that situation. Generally I have been flying low, in the attempt to use terrain masking to avoid the pesky Messerschmitts. My take away is fly a bit higher: air speed and altitude give you options.

Comment. Blah. Blah. Uninformed opinion contradicting all you said. (Nice , compact and useful video, as we have come to expect.)

Thumbs up for showing a video where your side was partially outplayed. Your opponent’s choice of bringing back an I-16 after losing in a MiG-3 is a very interesting choice. If I remember correctly the MiG is better at altitude, but also has a higher dive speed than most Russian planes, giving it more of a chance in a vertical fight. But still not a match for a Bf-109, and definitely not one on two. The I-16 can be a bit twitchy when pushed close to the envelope. Seems like your opponent had some skill. Wonder whether a cannon-armed I-16 would have made a difference.

Link has expired, by the way. There once was a conventional wisdom that once you put something on the internet it is there forever. Either this is only true for embarrassing photographs, or the definition of “forever” has changed. Not weighing in either way. . . Actual manuals tend to be available for most airplanes in the game, but they will vary a bit in detail.

Fuel load. . . One of my errors in flying campaigns was to take full fuel, only to watch my AI squadron disappear in the distance shortly after takeoff. Never to be found again. Things the devs don’t tell you.

Nasty flak seems to make sense in the context of low server populations.

So, thinking about my first experience trying to get the DCS P-51 trainer to the runway. (Not to mention actually taking off and flying.) The magic of IL-2 GB is combining realistic flight/damage/weapon models with some simplification of engine management, startup, etc. (Still struggled with getting the Schnellbomber and Duck onto a runway, despite all of that.)

Watching the A-20 take off, and having just watched a video with a still photo of an actual A-20 with the standard dual cal. .50 bomber turret in the dorsal position. . . C’mon devs, how hard would it be to port better defensive armament into IL-2 GB’s A-20?

Great video Ninny! Can wait to fly with you guys on the next TAW o7

Great vid! Hope to see you on the MAJ discord again!!

I probably had 3k hours online in the original IL-2 forgotten battles/pacific fighters

Only at 200 hours so far but it’s been one hell of a time!

Col ninny I’m using the fb wingman I find it to hard to aim in vr tho there is aces of thunder to look forward too

I just wish IL-2 wasn’t so arcadey. After flying in DCS, all the aircraft feel like weightless toys. I’d like to combine DCS’s flight model with IL-2’s everything else. Being a real pilot has really ruined anything less than DCS levels of realism. DCS + a force feedback joystick = the closest thing to really flying next to owning the plane. It would be great if IL-2 could catch up.

Playing the massive online campaigns (FTC) has been the most fun I've had in a long time in any game. The immersion is second to none

Great Video. It's been an amazing ride with more flights to come...

Brilliant as always, thank you.. I'm off to rewatch some of your tutorials.. Im not an accurate bomber haha

Great video ninny!

Pretty cool, it's been a pleasure and an honor to fly with you.

Thank you Colonel.

Thank you Colonel.

Although I don’t play multiplayer I’ve been playing all iterations of iL2 for over 20years and I still love it along with RoF and the much improved CloD and yes I buy the DLC very often just to support the company. 👍

This is indeed a great game, and thanks to you and other YT pilots, a continuing and enthralling hobby for me. I am confined to single player due to using a Windows partition on an ageing MacBook to play, but I'm hovering around the 1,000 hr mark in 3 years, to add to a similar total gliding and PPL experience a few decades ago, and still get so much enjoyment out of it. Thanks for your company over that time: your videos are like chewing the fat over coffee in the crew room!

3k hours? nice to know. i always asked myself how many hours my oppenents in multiplayer have. especially when my pilot get sniped out of the cockpit in an instant with my only 200 hours flying

How does one create that card with the info on it to put in the cockpit?
