Bf109 G6 Dogfight + New Clouds Update | World War II | IL-2 Sturkmovik |

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Check out the Merch Store: growling-sidewinder.creator-spring.com Thank you all for watching, let me know your thoughts on the new IL-2 clouds below, I think its a good change in the right direction and adds a lot graphically to the sim. I also didn't notice any performance issues with the new clouds which is also good news.

[@happyhaunter_5546]

Today I learned that when a P-51 departs flight, it makes R2D2 screaming noises.

This comment cracked me up haha😂 ty! U made my day

[@rickwoods8118]

Lmao

[@air-headedaviator1805]

Nothing quite scratches the itch of a dogfight like WW2 sims. Say GS, would you be able to do head to head fights like in DCS in IL-2? It would be neat seeing how the modern tactics translate to ww2 fighters

[@Jesse_Dean]

I would love to see that as well!

[@ToddDunning]

Gotta say I love these WW2 ones so much more than the BVR. And very glad you're doing these every day, been totally addicted for months now.

[@happyhaunter_5546]

I'm loving this game and how it's growing...I wouldn't know having no experience with either, but this feels a little more accessible/less intimidating to get into than DCS. I'm gonna save for some VR and try it out I think. Thanks for being one of the best creators man.

[@happyhaunter_5546]

In addition, your gunnery is SO much better in VR!

[@christerjackson9589]

If u want a cheaper and or less performance heavy experience you could get Track IR, VR is superior in most cases but I personally feel more comfortable flying longer missions with track IR, ofc this is up to preference and u can do what u want but just go over all the options and that, try to get into the VR community and brands and such, honestly there isn't a lot u can buy atm since it is between the Quest 2 and Index.

[@debbiestimac5175]

Be careful with VR, some people cannot stand it without dizzyness/disorientation/nausea. Find someone with it to try it out or make sure you have an ironclad return policy like Amazon Prime where you can return it for any reason. Especially if you wear eyeglasses.

[@jlbeck777]

I have both, and Il-2 is definitely more accessible than DCS. DCS is definately fun and challenging, but sometimes, I really just want to fly and fight without having to know what 40-50 steps I need to perform in a specific airframe just to start the engine and get off the ground. Of course, in Il-2, you can always turn up the difficulty if you want, do all the engine/oil/radiator management yourself. But if you want to focus on the fun parts and let the game do that for you automatically, you can. The WWI stuff in VR is particularly stunning. That sensation of sitting inside the open air cockpit in a plywood and frabric crate a thousand feet in the air is just amazing!

[@JackManiacky]

It is definitely easier to get into than DCS. I just started a few weeks ago. There are two realism levels and lots of options to help get you going and after you are comfortable with the flight model and you have a feel for a plane you like you can up the realism and take full manual control of the engine and learn all the cockpit gauges. Enemies are marked on the map and hud and that can also be disabled once you are able to identify friend from foe visually. Try it out. I'm absolutely obsessed now.

[@jameshutchinson6273]

I personally prefer the WWI & WWII action it feels more engaging certainly over the rate fighting 1-2 circle dances of the more modern engagements. Great content though as always.

[@tomhoni9642]

A plane so good even 70 years later they made a song about it . Nothing like a G6 :D

[@siraulu1]

There is nothing like the VR aspect of the game and the new clouds. My last mission was a Bomber Escort and there were some low clouds and haze and I had to literally fly instruments because I couldn't see the ground and couldn't tell which way was up or down ...still came out of this with one kill. The clouds were a sound update although frustrating trying to fly in the soup and VR just brings it all to reality!!

[@mower2008]

Some lightning, hail, snow, and heavy rainfall would be cool too. Throw in some challenging curveballs to make the dogfights even more exciting and unpredictable.

[@atomant451]

That takes it out of reality and turns it into an Arcade game. Fighters couldn't fly in heavy rain, hail, ETC. And as for exciting and unpredictable, try playing the game on realistic.

[@Hail_Full_of_Grace]

Weather like that would keep aircraft grounded , this is ww2 sim not a sci fi.

[@rzr2ffe325]

And default swastikas for the German planes.

[@videomaniac108]

Thanks GS for showcasing VR here, as I've been considering setting up a high-spec sim rig and was trying to decide between Track IR and VR.

[@ww2hungary827]

2:48 That first P-51 sounds like R2-D2

[@_Am0N_]

Reeeeeeeeeeee

[@bradleymyers5030]

The P-51 is the Cadillac of the sky and helped win in the E.T.O & P.T.O. With saying that the ME-109 was a beast for sure, it all came down to the pilot.

[@_Am0N_]

Yup! U could have the best plane but it wont give them any chances if they dont know how to fly :)

[@_Am0N_]

I am also currently enjoying the p51 pilot career. Its so much fun when u fire a short burst, hit the engine and he starts burning!

[@chrisfitzmaurice7484]

"Good day to you , sir." LOL! What a time to be alive.

[@black07rr]

Not much could be more terrifying than what those pilots went through, couldnt imagine being on either side and trying to limp home after being damaged and check your 6 and see a enemy plane dive out of the clouds heading right at you knowing there is absolutely nothing you can do.....

[@riderofthemark6661]

Il-2 rocks, i love it, started to play it again with the update. Great video growling!

[@Peter_Aranyos_Jr]

I wish you could hear the Bf-109's beautiful supercharger in the cinematic shots as it flies by

[@MikeBabsBC]

The clouds are awesome! Funny how most of your kills end up with them in an inverted spin. Just picked up this game when you posted about it being on sale last month. Looks awesome on my comp and I can't wait to really tie into it. Would love to get VR but not sure I have enough horsepower in my computer.

[@HarGowPilot]

Being a tech artist, I personally think the most aspect needed for il2 for its graphics is the PBR(Physically based rendering) approach in the render system, that'll improve a lot.

[@jlbeck777]

Agreed. One thing DCS does much better than Il-2 is rendering objects that almost look photoreal. Il-2 does not. Try as it might, all the planes, objects, and cockpits _look_ like textured geometry. It's especially noticeable in VR.

[@zelfit]

Indeed. Current shading looks outdated. But I'm afraid they are too poor to do anything about it now.
