Great video! I finally got a view from the vantage point of my late father during his service in WW2. He served in the USAAF with a B-24 "Liberator" unit, 15th Air Force, Italy 1944-45 as. Flight Engineer/Top Turret Gunner. His unit had about 45% casualties and he suffered from pretty severe PTSD until he passed. I sure do miss him.
Fantastic video!!! Never ever before experienced the cockpit of a B-24 Liberator, or B-17 Flying fortress, or inside a Me-109, or a p-47, p-51 and never heard the impacts of receiving bullet strikes. Please make another one with the same qualities and expert designs! Out of this world! ***** 5 Stars!
First an observation then a question: It seems making an attack from 6 o'clock on a B17/B24 is darned hazardous; second: Is there any way to reload your guns when you run out of ammo? Thanks ahead of time.
Does anyone know if the defensive fire of the bombers caused friendly fire casualties? With all that firepower in such close proximity one has to assume it would.
Can anyone recommend a starter joystick for a warbird enthusiast like myself? I love War Thunder's RB but I've always wanted to play IL-2 and I don't think you can use a mouse for that lol
Hi Fishyyy, I love your IL-2 videos I'm an IL-2 geek too now for more than 10 years.. but I just wonder how you create these multiple cockpit view films *_* Whats the secret? I checked your discord too so flying with the team of yours is also my near future plan. cheers :D
Hi Fishyyy. thank you so much for your very quick response. I have followed your suggested path but when I select 4.12.2 it asks me for a Beta access code? Will that be emailed to me now I have selected this? Many thanks my friend.
Historian Donald Caldwell (the author of the JG26 Unit History) wrote once that the Germans eventually tried to reach a compromise with the ME109, by mounting the MK108 in the nose only; that way if they had to dogfight, they weren't too burdened by the weight of the firepower & even a single MK108 was enough to deal with a bomber-presumably the 13mm guns were used to dogfight the escorts.
Hi Fishyyy. I really enjoy watching your videos and I have found the love again for IL2 1946! I hope you dont mind and can help me but I have a question. I have recently downloaded via Steam the new updates version of 4.13.3. with SAS mod activator.The game is great but it does not seem to support Tigers excellent flyby mod version 3.0? I do have the original 4.07 version on disc but I have long disconnected my DVD player/drive. Can you advise if I can download the original 4.07 version of the game anywhere and then do a fresh install with the SAS mod activator and then add Tigers flyby's? I think this is the problem?? Many thanks and keep making these brilliant films. Planesy.
Hi Fishyyy. OK well I think I now have 4.12.2 but I have so many versions of the game on my PC now I think I better delete them all and start again! Thanks for your help and very quick response anyway. Best regards Martin.

Don't tell grandpa I'm rooting for Jerry.
First an observation then a question:

second: Is there any way to reload your guns when you run out of ammo?
Thanks ahead of time.
In the Vanilla game there is no way to get more ammo. There is a mod that enables you to rearm, repair and refuel, though.
There is a mod? Please tell me more! BTW I am at 4.13.3m version.
As far as i know, B.A.T has the RRR mod in it. The mod was made for 4.09 way back in the day, but it seems the maker of B.A.T put it in his modpack.
The BAT? OK Thanks...I will see if I got the memory for it.
20:56 Awesome maneuvers and shooting!

How does your plane move so smoothly? My plane is wobbly. If I try to move up, it jiggles and moves back down.
probably is the sensibility of u joystick.
but are u using keyboard?
how did you make the bomber squadrons like that?
I used "Set target" in the editor. You can create 16 plane formations with a few clicks. The feature is horribly broken, though.
***** yea i try that and it makes them far apart for some reason. thanks for the reply though :)
It depends on the version and a few other weird factors. Maybe a bit too much to explain here ;D
***** yea true lol
Wonderful video, great videogame!
I have the Steam version of the game, is it possible to add mods in this version?
albe monta yes
albe monta you just need the right mods
albe monta i mean version
Ok thanks man!
Right click on the game go to properties and then local game files

Thank you so much :D I'll check it out soon!!
Well worth the watch!
P51 mustang escort fighters saved the day with american bomber raids on Germany, they took a toll on Luftwaffe fighters

I have no idea. I'm using an old image of a DVD, so I don't have the issue and don't know how to fix it.
Can you fly planes with mouse and keyboard?
yeah, but don't, it's stupid
@@Fishyyy Thanks for the quick response. Actually this game is on sale but I don't have a joystick...
Found your channel awhile back, have you in IL2, flown the BF 109G6 with 3 MK108 30mm cannons, better known as the "kannonvogel" ?
Yes, i flew the 109 with that loadout, it feels like a freight train. I flew pretty much everything that's in the game, from WWI planes to the F/A-18.
Fishyyy Were the MK 108'S as destructive in the game as they were in reality?
Yes, they are. You can down any plane in the game with only a few hits.
Thanks for the info.

You can set your game to 4.12.2 in the properties of the game in your steam library, the flyby mod should work with that.
Magnificent!

Is that the FW190D9?
It's been a while since i made this, but i think there are only A-8s around. No Doras, sorry^^
Fishyyy I don't like the look of the d9 eny way, the A8s look good
Wonderful video :)
a me-163 would be handy there :)
T O B A D T H E Y D O N T H A V E F U E L
Duuuuuuuuude
Doghfighting in FW190? Yes it's fast but a brick.
Boom N Zoom.
I don't want to show of my flying skills in this vdeo, it's about creating an atmosphere.
