This alone and on its own is worth a movie I'd say. The brute force of the allied and hungry-to-kill P-47 escorts that chase down 262's to their HQ. As mentioned by Fishy in another comment, the shortage of German pilots in 45, made aerial combat take a whole different route compared to years before that. Flying was yet again superb, would say that some of the guys were definitely dare-devils when it came to going head to head with the P-47's.
Would a C.A.P. over the airfield have been to much to ask for? Nice work on the bomber formation's, such overlapping targets are irresistible,and deadly. Stay Fishyyy and keep them coming.
@@gathel8574 ok? Since when have they been trying to reenact irl missions? Never. Who cares it never saw service. Historical accuracy has never been a focus.
I sometimes wonder why at least military airfields have such long taxiways. Why not have the hangars and parking spot at the end of a runway, so that planes can take off more or less from the hangar.
No event needed, I think over on the discord you can ask to join and eventually you might get a shot, if you follow the rules, have everything set up and aren't a dick I think you can fly just by asking. Nicely of course.
I really enjoy your videos. Must have taken a lot of time to fly missions you guys do. Looks like you know more than most. I am wondering if you can help me get started. I can't get my Logitech 3D Pro connected with IL-2. I've tried several things with not luck. My computer sees it and the Logitech software sees it, but not the game. I know this may be unusual, but I'm desparate. Thanks for concidering this.
This isn't unusual at all, I get asked to help with tech problems all the time. I usually don't respond, because it gets old quite fast. I don't think I can really help with this problem, it's basically supposed to kind of just work. All you have to do is have the stick plugged in, go to the control settings and apply the axis and buttons :/
I’m not sure how realistic these simulators are. It seems that after one round the bomber breaks apart. I’ve seen actual gun camera footage of B17s being pumped full of bullets from a German fighters and they are barely spilling the coffee of the crew inside.
You can assume, that pretty much everybody here has seen that footage. Most german guncam foootage was destroyed, because it was stored in Dresden. That's why there is always the same footage shown in documentaries etc and we have all seen it. While it is true, that heavies are generally speaking a bit weak in the game, you have to consider this: The original footage usually shows attacks with 20mm cannons, with which especially a B-17 actually was quite hard to kill. As a rule of thumb you needed about 20 20mm hits to down one. The 30mm shells that the Me-262 fired from it's Mk108 machine cannons were way more devastating. The rule of thumb here is that about three hits sufficied to down any four engined heavy. The Me-262 had four of those cannons, making it easy to down anything, if you hit.
Darky, my good litte padawan! :) I'm proud of you!

Thanks, man, much appreciated.
The p47 engine noise as they close in on Marcom at 54:16 is straight Out of a Horror Movie! Great shooting! Beautiful Flying Guys, as always!

Great fight, I enjoyed this....

Superbe merci jp
i love the videos
Hey do you think you could host an event for your subscribers who have this game to join you? Also love your vids keep up the awesome work man
No event needed, I think over on the discord you can ask to join and eventually you might get a shot, if you follow the rules, have everything set up and aren't a dick I think you can fly just by asking. Nicely of course.
Love the video. Any chance of some pvp action?
What happened with Marcom at the start? Did he push his engines too far or was there actually some kind of mechanical issue in his plane?
Well, let's just say that his engines and his plane were perfectly fine :D

@@Fishyyy Thanks again. I'm about to give up. Happy Hunting.
@@nexthorizon5228 Get the Logitech stick software, that'll help sometimes. You should be able to launch il2 from it
