You can actually cause engine/transmission failures in the game by pushing the tank too hard. It is a bit forgiving though. If it wasn't the German tanks would not be much fun haha.
@@mrpotato7637 I've put the T-34 out of action for I believe a 4-5 minute repair as I spent a few minutes trying to climb a (fairly) steep incline. Really depends on how steep it is and how you decided to tackle it. Obviously, don't red line the engine for a few minutes like I did unless you want the driver yelling that the engine can't keep up.
weirdly enough most german tanks besides the early tiger 1s and 2s and panthers could handle extreme inclines and gaps more so than allied tanks. until it was closer to the end of the war where engine and transmission problems
Tigerfibel is the actual crew manual for the Tiger, it's available online if you're curious. It's in German but it has some drawings that explains the range finding with the triangles in the sight and how to effectively increase your armor thickness by parking at an angle towards the enemy.
Just a little fyi with German gun sights, i've learnt from experience that aiming slightly left at long ranges (between the main triangle and the little one to it's right) tends to normalize the difference between the sight and the gun itself, it usually (for me) results in more centeral hits instead of veering towards the enemy's right and possibly glancing the blow.
this game is so immersive ... imagine a huge battle with both sides having tanks with ALL PLAYER CREWS! plus some playing infantry and some playing support like long range artillery, then same goes for the AIR FORCE ... this could be the ULTRA REALISTIC , ARMA LEVEL REALISTIC FOR ARMOURED WARFARE ... this game needs some love, this could be fun!
You were missing in a few cases because the optic is on the left side of the gun, and so the shell will always (unless at extreme range) land slightly right of where you are aiming. Very enjoyable video, well done!
This is several months old by now so some things may have changed in Tan Crew but if your engine isn't warmed up you will drive slower. I found this out the hard way on a short mission when I was stuck going 5km/hr over a bridge into a town and got creamed. Tried it again with the "Engine warmed up" checkbox set in the realism settings and I could immediately go full speed ahead.
I thought you were going to "Have a word" with your bloody driver about the picture of my Aunt???!!! When I see the guy, he's dead... DEAD I TELL YOU!!! Moreover, my Uncle Horst is NOT pleased at all after finding out about this dreadful indiscretion!!!
Interested in this game. Do you think they’ll do more with it as a stand-alone game with own campaigns etc? Or maybe stay as a small spin-off with small no. of missions. Keep trying to find a WW2 tank game that isn’t arcadey like world of tanks and has a small bit of realism.
I love red orchestra 2 tank combat and interior of the tank, and animations for the crew are so good. But man i have to say by far il-2 is most modeled and have even more thanks than ro2 having only 4
The Ruskies didn't only practice suicidal infantry human wave charges,but suicidal tank wave charges as well! (Must say they didn't lack bravery,don't know how much of that was out of fear for their ruthless political commisars)
pretty sure those hits you took were coming from your right, rather than the group to the center and left, as the damage was on the right side of the tank
How does the physical damage modeling compare to War Thunder? This looks like a lot of fun, but I just can't get in to games that don't have decent armor/projectile angle, and sub component modeling. Thanks for bringing this game to my attention and the entertaining video.
IL-2 Tank Crew is a Tank Simulation. All tanks have detailed damage models which include malfunctions of these systems. Ballistics and armor penetration are modeled realistically as well.
US tank doctrine is the tank in the left of the formation engages the left most enemy tank and works to the center. Opposite for the far right tank. Center tanks engage center and work to the outside. Alternatively, and probably not available, yet, is platoon commander instructs tanks which enemy to engage. When starting out you were working up in the gears and going uphill. The increase in speed was because you crested the hill. The one thing in WT I have learned is to better read the terrain. Last engagement you moved up to fire when you realized the view was blocked by ground to your left. In the gunner position your view is really restricted. I was surprised the damage was to the right of your tank. A T34 coming in from the left would have been very close to your flank. Luckily, if the Soviet company commander stops, the company stops, if he is seen to do so. Visibility from a buttoned up T34/76 is even worse since the TC can only see via a single periscope or his gun sight. The 3 SS PG divisions had a Tiger tank company each. 14 Tiger. 1st SS, 2nd SS (your unit), 3rd SS. Once in action the number would drop down to 3-5 in operation per company. You were with the entire company not a platoon. 3rd SS was out of contact to your far left. 1st SS to your left. The other Tigers in 4th Panzer Army was another company with Gross Deutchland PG Division in another Corps way far West to your left. In general the II SS Panzer Corps is attacking north.
Flight sims and Tank sims are very niche and take lots of resources to develop. It is par for the course in this market.. it will go on sale relitivly soon.
Look like T-60 or T-70 light/recon tanks. was too far to see the suspension set up. And the Tiger had a weak point right under the main gun mantel it was a shot trap that would deflect rounds right into and down into the turret ring. This happened and how Tiger 131 was captured and now on display at the Tank Museum of Bovington. A shot from a 75mm most likely a M4A1 Sherman, went right under and down into the turret ring jamming it and so making it nearly impossible to engage other targets, and so being an active combat zone the crew also couldn't sabotage it and so prevent it from mostly being intact for the allies to get.
Wolfpack they kicked me off the seismographic viewing channel, my theory if they wiggle the needle will CAUSE earthquakes untested. What's their problem ? You tolerate me so should they.
@@bigwezz the seismographic viewing channel, the device that detects & records earthquakes, I think if they wiggle the needle it WILL cause earthquakes but they refuse to test the theory
Great game, super interiors and nice wide maps but shit action level. Full of history idiotisms like moving Russia shit tanks shooting You after 1st shot from 1km. Full SFI scenarios. :-) Adding too slow and low action level and real battlr effects - no chance for succes. Missions are neraly the same. Tragedy!!!
Yes a German tanks worst enemy, a slight incline.

Wolfpack345 I actually didn’t know that, thank you. I’m guessing it is a bit forgiving, as when the ferdinand tank came out I did go up a hill.

I hhave seen the picture in several other tank's,she must have got around!
That chick in the picture seems to be quite popular with the German army!
You're getting good at this. Exciting, well executed mission.
Thanks man! I am certainty getting a better handle at controlling these vehicles.
That was a good episode, very enjoyable, still not a fan of the Tiger but will freely admit the armour and 88 are very useful
Fair enough! The Tiger is not my favorite either but like you said the 88 is very nice to have.
Yeah Armor battles , love it
great immersive episode. Already looking forward to the next one
Once again, an excellent episode! Thank you for sharing this Wolfpack 345.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Good to know. Thank you for the tip! :)
I Love the different accents from the different areas in Germany, that i hear via Radio
Man, I really enjoy watching your videos....they're better than a lot of movies
Happy to hear you enjoy them!

Wolfpack you have me rewatching your videos now. Well done sir.
I really love this series so far keep it up!
This was a good start to my viewing day.
Tank goodness! 😃
Good Pun!
these videos, including the U-Boot ones, are ludicrously entertaining. who would have thought?! thanks.
Happy to hear you enjoy them!
Nice episode as always Wolf. 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it
Lol it always seems like it’s slow motion watching the commander raise the binos
Nice! Loving this series! Q: Does the smoke launchers work?
Your videos are making me want to get the Il-2 series!
Tigers are just beasts, especially in open fields. As long as enemy air is under control, of course...
...and if they aren’t broken down or bogging down in soft ground.
@@HydroSnips haha tiger bad break down haha le reddit told me haha
“Only five tigers were in fighting condition”
Let me guess, transmission problems?
That was only for 9 of the missing 10. The 10th lacked fuel
Another brilliant vid sir, you make my day when I watch your stuff, thanks so much, Tiger is awesome
That was a great review. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
I love this series! Keep it up bro
You were missing in a few cases because the optic is on the left side of the gun, and so the shell will always (unless at extreme range) land slightly right of where you are aiming. Very enjoyable video, well done!
I believe that was a luger anti tank pistol. you should have used it against the t-34's
Great mission 👍
PLS DO THESE EPISODES MORE OFTEN, THEY ARE AMAZING!!!
Yes, it's important to have the high ground. Anakin didn't believe in it and got scorched even worse than your Tiger.

This is a different tank and a different driver!! WHY is your Aunt in so many tanks????!
@@Wolfpack345 I don't think you want to know the answer to your question... Let's just say she's a popular woman.
@@jonbowman7686 You mean.... you mean that YOU'VE got a picture of her as WELL????!!!!
@@TheRaptorXX er.. well... i mean.... maybe?
@@jonbowman7686 Of course you KNOW that this means a visit from Uncle Horst?
Nice episode bro
Thanks!
Five T-34 Tanks in an engagement. I do not recall Wolfpack destroyers five Tigers in his T-34, so I assume he prefers the Tiger.
Panzerlied, finally!
The tiger one is my favorite tank.
woot woot another episode

I have never seen this game before but it looks cool
great shooting Wolf
What is the best Bf109 vs fighters? F4, G2, G6 or K4?
target destroyed, next target, target destroyed, next target, target destroyed, next target, target destroyed, next target.
This video pretty much shows off the popular view of the Tiger tank, to me anyway.
Goddamn talk about an effective defense
Lol that is for sure!
The Ruskies didn't only practice suicidal infantry human wave charges,but suicidal tank wave charges as well! (Must say they didn't lack bravery,don't know how much of that was out of fear for their ruthless political commisars)
The controls are laid out in such a frustrating manner makes it hard to play
You can re bind them
pretty sure those hits you took were coming from your right, rather than the group to the center and left, as the damage was on the right side of the tank
Tiger I and panther A best tank
Kosmoltes.. or Komsomolets... close enough :D
Der auf heit kleinest bleiebelien, ERIIIIKA!!!

Well done....WW2 German tanks are like BMW's, Mercedes and Porsche's today. GREAT.....when they arent broken.
Make vids on this
The photo in the Tiger and the Panzer 4 is the same woman, boy she gets about.
or maybe the commander carries it with himself🤔
Tiger tanks gimmick is to angle

all tanks can tec be trap shot m1 is a example of a bas trao shot hole if u can hit it
