Full IL-2 1946 mission: SM.79 Torpedo Attack on British Convoy

[@spreadeagled5654]

In the early years of the War, the Aerosiluranti, (Special Aero Torpedo Unit) of the Regia Aeronautica was very effective and a serious threat against Allied shipping in the Mediterranean Sea. The Aerosiluranti pilots were very skillful and courageous with many of them receiving “ace” status with 5 or more ships sunk and were revered national heroes as the fighter aces were in Italy. 🇮🇹

[@mc205alvarez99]

They still was a serious threat i think at 1942. 1943 no.

[@Heylanda-fb9xb]

They're the only branch of Regia Aeronautica that truly threatened Allied shipping in 1940-1941. That is a quite an honor for an Air Force that was being busy, getting itself shot down across Europe.

[@Assiro051]

Watching this video allowed me to at least have a glimpse of what my grandfather had to endure when he was flying this beautiful airplane. Amazing quality, thanks for uploading it and you made an Italian fella very happy

[@graustreifbrombeerkralle1078]

Glad to see some Italian planes now, their weaponry and bravery is so underrated!

[@waynelutton4634]

A great re-creation of an attack on a convoy. Thanks for posting and all the best on your next mission from a viewer in Washington,DC

[@alessiorapallino1291]

Yeah, the Regia Aeronautica. Can you make a video with MC202 in North Africa? You are the best!

[@CaspCic]

Thanks for doing remarks on the interior! I was on the "Team Daidalos" development group back then as a cockpit modeler and had my hands on this one too for final touches (though it wasn't build originally by myself), right before it was implemented and it makes me happy to see it still used and liked. :) And I also made most of that MED map.

[@Fishyyy]

Could you help me mod the game?

[@CaspCic]

@@Fishyyy Nop... I'm out of it all for a too long time now. And I was mere a modeler - not a programmer.

[@momotheelder7124]

Note the front is painted blue/grey to conceal the aircraft from ship gunners against the sea/sky. cool looking plane. P:S: Having three engines seems to be an enormous bonus/life ensurance for the role of this aircraft.

[@timonsolus]

3 engines is a bonus - however, I don't think the SM.79 can maintain level flight on only 1 engine, so if you lose 2, you're in big trouble.

[@TheVictor639514]

Another great vid on display here! I'm also delighted to see my sound mod being put to solid use here in these vids. ^^ Hope you enjoy these sounds, as I had in putting them together!

[@Fishyyy]

I love the mod! Thank you very much for it!

[@fundamentos3439]

Great video . Good work . Always liked the SM 79. Thank you for sharing .

[@densyyy2909]

Trigger discipline Crabby, trigger discipline! Outstanding torpedo attack Fishyyy. Good to know that you are going to land the damaged bomber Fishyyy. The Regia Aeronautica mounted a mission over England in the early days of the battle of Britain with some distinction, have you thought of replicating that in a video?

[@noahford6068]

I love crabby haha He's just exploring the plane and questioning everything lol

[@LooxJJ]

I really don't know how you guys survived that journey...good flight

[@waedwe]

Watch out for those Booofighters, the Beaufighters deadly cousin.

[@RascalKyng]

The ricochet and impact bullet sfx sound so good... very jumpy and terrifying to hear. Separate mod for that?

[@Fishyyy]

Half of them are from Victor's sound mod, I added the other half in editing. I'm glad someone noticed :)

Fantastic work as always!

[@lospiloto6544]

We Italian was crazy for flight those things in ww2. The pilots was very brave!

[@lorenzor2555]

The SM 79 was one of the best (if not the best) torpedo bomber of the war. Don't be fooled by its look. Even the british Swordfish was great in this role and it was a very slow single engine biplane

[@lospiloto6544]

@@lorenzor2555 yes exactly. The right plane, in the right time and in the right place. But however it was extremely weak

[@lorenzor2555]

Andrea Iurino weak? It could fly with one engine broken, it didn't drown if landad on water, its wings could sustain an incredible amount of demages, it was stable and very fast at low altitude (for being a bomber)... not exactly a weak plane. Also keep in mind that Italy used it in the early stages of the war. When british used planes like the Gladiators or the Hurricanes (and many other planes had wood structures and fabric covers). You can't compare a torpedo bomber of 1940-1942 like the Sparviero to much more modern planes that were available only in the last stages of the war, like the Mustang, Thunderbolt, Mosquito (still made of wood, indeed), etc

[@lospiloto6544]

@@lorenzor2555 yes I know I wrote that it was the right plane in the right moment. But when we need to upgrade our planes we didn't do that. P.s. I love italian planes, I have a books about Siai Marchetti and the Italian hunters of ww2

[@massimovolpe]

Esiste un libro su questo aereo e su gli aereosiluranti italiani si intitolata "il gruppo Buscaglia" non so se esiste in lingua inglese è ricco di testimonianze tipo....non lo chiedevamo mai ma una volta che ci si avvicinava alle navi i cacci inglesi si allontanavano e cominciava il fuoco contraereo delle navi inglesi,gli avieri armieri lasciavano le loro postazioni e si stringevano intorno a noi piloti facendoci scudo con i loro corpi contro le eventuali schegge,per noi la missione era la cosa più importante. Un altra testimonianza era che i piloti insegnavano a gli avieri a pilotare l'aereo( era una cosa vietata) perché in caso di morte o ferimento grave dei piloti anche un mitragliere doveva essere in grado di portare l'aereo a casa.

[@martinraguz388]

Do you ever tried with one player being in co-pilot position? Does it have any effect on main pilot controling or is it just there? I see that one player can be a co-pilot.

[@Fishyyy]

We did that before in "To Hell and Heaven". It was buggy in this mission, so we did not use it.

[@martinraguz388]

@@Fishyyy only thing (I think) about co-pilot is that if a main pilot got his head blown off, than co-pilot takes the flight.

[@migmadmarine]

what future missions do you guys have in the works?

[@Fishyyy]

I am working on a Blenheim and a Lancaster video at the moment. I'm currently recording the video footage for both. The Lancaster mission will be a 'To Hell and Back' video and the making will take a while. We tried to record a P-40 mission in Africa, but the first tries were disastrous. I have a Wellington mission planned, in which we attack a german battleship in Brest. I succesfully recorded a Mosquito night fighting mission and we attacked B-24s in Bf 110s, but both those recordings are kinda last resort. I will use them when I run out of stuff. The Mossi one isn't really interesting and the Bf 110 mission was quite unsuccesful.

[@TheCatMan7626]

These are really cool to watch on TV lol

[@samcollins8291]

[@marc13bautista]

More ground perspective... With jets?

[@CaspCic]

Pretty cool mission done there! :D Not the easiest one... If the Beaufighters had the guts of the Hurricanes, you'd been shred to pieces quite a few times. BTW: you have to align the two gunsight elements to aim with the front gun. Guess, the default buttons where Shift+F1.

Which joystick did you use to play??

[@thirstysailor579]

Hey Fishyyy, what do you recommend to a relative flight simulator newbie starting out on 1946? I’ve downloaded the SAS and BAT mods, been testing out stuff, but I’m really struggling with things like spotting (have to use my mouse in my left hand to look around), overall dogfighting, and basic navigation (which is funny because in irl I’m decent at VFR navigation).

[@Fishyyy]

Watch my navigation tutorial :D Can't really help you with spotting stuff, if you aren't ambidextrous flying with one hand at the mouse is odd, especially in the beginning. One usually uses TrackIR to have both hands on stick and throttle, while still beeing able to look around. Hotas -> hands on throttle and stick.

[@thirstysailor579]

Fishyyy Unfortuently I don’t have the funds to get a TrackIR at the moment, and this pandemic means whatever is available has to got to that rn. Regardless, I’ll make sure to give you vid a watch!

[@Skyhawk1998]

@@thirstysailor579 If you have a hat switch on your joystick I'd recommend mapping the snap views to that. Not as good as TrackIR but it helps. Either that, or map your numpad for snap views.

Thx. Mod info is given in the description.

[@SauronEye]

The game doesn't allow you to shut off one of the engines if it's damaged??

[@Fishyyy]

??

[@SauronEye]

@@Fishyyy This is basically for multi-engine planes (B17s, Liberators, B25s, etc.), if one or two engines are damaged by gunfire, the pilot can shut off those engines separately to keep them from exploding, while still able to fly (tho much slower). Just was wondering if this game gives you that function.

[@Fishyyy]

You can shut down individual engines. Engines don't explode in the game, so there is no real gameplay reason to do so. From a role playing standpoint it could be a thing to try to keep the engine "operable" by shutting it down, before it becomes inoperable due to lack of oil and or water. That would not have a real gameplay benefit, though. On the contrary, when you are trying to RTB ASAP, just gunning the engine is better. I understood your question, hint: do not use multiple question marks, it's rude. That's why I also put two question marks. Be nice if you actually want to have a proper response.

[@SauronEye]

@@Fishyyy Ok, thanks. Didn't know about the question mark use, my apologies.
