Congratulations to FearMeister, Muoflon, and KillPact for each receiving a U-2VS in my giveaway for the release of this video! The community tab has the details.
@@katiejackson3900 I was definitely feeling sick, but I was starting to recover a little bit when I recorded this video. I'm still slightly congested but I definitely sound off for the voiceover.Thanks for asking, you have good ears :-)
R3kEr314 lol Russians are as economical as the Germans are efficient. It’s cheaper to mass produce speedometers for multiple airframes than a different one for each. For instance the Mi-8 hips speedometer goes to 500kmh but God help the poor bastards who spike that thing in a rotorhead
That makes perfect sense Mocha. It's a very forgiving airplane that is great to train on as a taildragger. The slower you fly, the slower things happen, the slower you can get yourself into trouble and the easier you can get out of it! If only it had brakes though! haha If you have any problems or questions let me know
Even though I don't own alot of the planes you demonstrate i still appreciate how you're still doing this for the community after all this time. If there's a plane with a prop I need to learn I always come here for a starter
Thanks Adrian, I appreciate you checking out my videos even without owning the plane! I'd like to make some jet tutorials as well too and have considered doing some for the CRJ-900 (which I fly in RL) as that would be relatively easy to do but I don't think those who subscribe to this channel would be very interested in that as it's all civilian flying haha The first jet tutorial on this channel will probably end up being the Me262.
Fair is fair. With Bodenplatte coming in we also need the L-4 Grasshopper (aka Piper Cub) with the option to fit bazookas to the struts. (Per Lt. Col. Charles "Bazooka Charlie" Carpenter, credited with 6 tank kills and some armored cars, etc. We will also need the "Rosie the Rocketer" skin.)
The speed is remarkably laid back but it looks like it requires a lot of attention managing taxiing and landing. Thanks for another fantastic tutorial.
It is easier to taxi, land, takeoff in the Po-2 than it is in any of the Flying Circus aircraft in my opinion. Also easier to taxi than some notorious ground loopers in the rest of the series.
Thank you for the tutorial videos. I've just started with IL-2 (haven't done serious simming in over 20 years). Started from ground zero with your basic flight videos and this plane has been great. Just finished a long 40 min VFR flight in it - great little aircraft!
Well, welcome back! The community is very helpful so if you have any questions they should be answered relatively quickly. I have a Discord channel that is designed for new players to get started as we have plenty of experience to draw on in there. You can join the channel here if you like discord.gg/fTjfUF
Thanks Iain, since the airplane flies so much slower the approach is actually much easier than usual as you have plenty of time to see any problems to correct!
I got this 'hyper - rocket' from Mrs Rap for Christmas so this is a brilliant heads - up for keeping the monster reined in!! Cheers Req, I hope you had an ace Christmas!!
Nice, it sounds like you had a good Christmas. I hope you're enjoying flying it. I'm going to try and have Mrs Requiem fly it for Bender's "No Man's Plane" challenge today.
@@RequiemsACTL Unfortunately I've an ominous feeling that enrolling Mrs Rap into the proceedings will prove to be near - impossible!! I shall try and keep trying though!!
It really is. This will be a perfect airplane for those new to flying or flight sims in general to get their feet wet with before just jumping in to the high performance combat airplanes.
Oh! Night witcher. Now, night bombing may start to appear on battlefield, on game server. I start to think how to against U-2VS at night. Does Ju-87 mount with machine gun pod? Ju-87 is slow enough. Rear gunner can help searching and shooting. Pilot shoots with dozen machine gun increases the chance of hitting the target.
+RequiemBoS *OKB Polikarpova developed the Uchebn'yj-2 as a primary trainer,* for which the 95 kW @ 1500RPM Arkakij Shvetsov 11 five-cylinder radial was judged adequate. The U-2VS packed a single 7.62x54R Pulemjot Shpitalnogo-Komaret'skogo for the rear seat and four bomb racks.
I wonder how they will implement this into multiplayer on WOL and TAW. The only thing this aircraft has going for it is the ridiculously low speeds it travels at, so maybe 109s at altitude won't even see it?

You sound a bit under the weather mate, you alright?

@@RequiemsACTL All good then mate, glad to hear you're doing better. You sounded a bit flat in the recording
That is quite the optimistic airspeed indicator
I guess it's good to know how fast you're going as the plane starts falling apart right?

You know you are in a PO-2 when achieving 3 digits in the speed indicator gives you an adrenaline rush
It's the highway to the danger zone in a Po-2 :-)
I just bought the game and I’m completely new to realistic flight simulators. So far this is the one aircraft I feel most comfortable flying

Now that would be fun to attempt!

Thanks, that sounds fantastic! I look forward to checking it out.
I can only dream of landings like that! Excellent.

It is such a lovely aircraft!
Perfect for test crashes! :-)
Oooh YES!

Great tutorial! Do you have any idea (or sources that describe) how to use the bombing window?
Only vaguely and nothing official...but it's not implemented in game so we can't use it.

I miss the old day when i can view the startup from inside the cockpit

As a transport option is one use in TAW if you end up losing your Pe-2's, or just for the 'ell of it - should bring a grin to anyone watching :-)
Sweet! ❤
the UVS 2 the perfict figther no stall smallest turn circular in the game but slow and tiny MG
...and completely outclassed by everything that was flying when it was lol
@@RequiemsACTL haha added MG go daka daka
Let's begin the night bombing
LOL no fuel gauge?
I tell ya,if i had a choice and i had to fly this plane in real life i would much rather have a fuel gauge than a fuel pressure gauge,lol
@@dntlss At 500m altitude, 90 km/h indicated @ 1300 RPM, a full fuel load will last 5 hours. Calculate as needed, and happy flying.
