[@TheNeptunian]

36:20 is just insane, i wonder how those pilots felt when something like that happened. My god...

[@gebus5633]

Marcom always provides the best action. Sparkie's formation flying with the B-17 was impressive. Too bad the B-17 wasn't impressed...

[@yoosta22]

I love these guys.

[@emanuelsantos7047]

F to Crabby and Capt J. and Sparkie. The landing of Sparkie is lol.

game pr0n: enjoying watching someone else having fun. good vid

[@waltergreif4836]

Oleg Maddox brilliantly designed and gave us IL2 Forgotten Battles, 1946 and Pacific Fighters Thank You Oleg!!

[@LeopardIL2]

This mission reminded me of the Sturmbock units flying heavaly armoured 190s and being easy prey for the escorts. Brave men they were. You guys are a great team. Marcom is fearless! 😉

[@tHeWasTeDYouTh]

BF 109 wanted to help the FW 190s 54:13 MG131 action

[@s2korpionic]

Really appreciate the work.

[@Minong_Manitou_Mishepeshu]

Great vid guys. Keep on those bombers!

[@lukeb6475]

Love to see you guys do a mission for winter war/continuation war. Lets see those Finish Buffalos and Gladiators deal with swarms of Soviet squadrons

[@Atesz222]

That ending was perfect

[@johanalitalo8331]

I wish more videos have enjoyable banter like this.

[@Fishyyy]

I know where to find a lot more of those :D

[@mediapartners9950]

Marcom the legend 😂 Great vid 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@lambsaucy69]

i like how he flies with his landing gear out

[@Karelwolfpup]

okay, so no patented Crabby landing, but this was better XDD

[@fulcrum_9162]

everytime I see crabby in ur vids I always think of the landing he did with the he177 with the shot off vertical stabilizer

[@willgnue2240]

Tuff flight. Watched and 👍 Liked

[@fulcrum_9162]

fw190s sure are capable fighters!

[@D2DOPAMINE]

Did the graphics always look this nice? Oh wait.. I played this on a shitty laptop from 2003 lol.

[@frankgaletzka8477]

Sehr gut gemacht

[@LMTDDS]

Interesting in that this one shows the swastika on the rudder. Most videos won't show it.

[@raymondyee2008]

“Black Thursday” vibes.

[@hivolt9993]

It had to end that way

[@DowJonesDave]

Do you remember the "Fighter Ace" game?

[@JamesLaursen-h3j]

Curious, were the cowl mounted MG's used as a "sighting device" for the 20/30 mm canons by most pilots?

[@Fishyyy]

The cannon's rounds have different ballistic charachteristics, so I don't think that was a thing. 7.92 isn't effective against heavies and 12.7mm barely. When I'm out of cannon ammo, I just return to base.

[@Bigrago1]

I'm not sure if I missed it but what happened to Boris?

[@Fishyyy]

Australian internet. His connection died and he timed out.

[@farty84]

@@Fishyyy his internet pressed ctrl + e

[@Minong_Manitou_Mishepeshu]

What does the "S" shield on the engine cowling represent? Is that from "Bombo" Kommander Schenck's outfit?

[@Fishyyy]

insignia of JG 26 Schlageter

[@ac9356]

What is number 6 county as I never seen that flag before

[@robotspark363]

Half-Hungarian, Half-Australian

Ow thanks I thought it was Australian ad something lol

[@Wunschkonzert]

perfekt 👍 Horrido

[@jaimegonzalez6509]

Pueden hacer una con el p38 en rabaul

[@timonsolus]

Is it possible for a pilot to score a kill when the pilot's not in his plane anymore? Because I'm sure that happened to someone in this mission...

[@ctrouble2309]

I am looking to get into IL-2 and figured id ask, what made you stick with 1946 as opposed to the newer games?

[@Fishyyy]

The ability to do the exact scenario you are watching right now. There simply are no heavies in BoX.

[@CueBall909]

@@Fishyyy That is probably the biggest issue with BoX. DCS has 4-engine heavy bombers, but you're never gonna get a formation like that unless you want to watch a slideshow of it.

[@Fishyyy]

I did two of those 60 bomber formations at a time before. These days three might work, who knows. Tidal wave worked decently with over 130 bombers & a ton of other stuff.

[@ctrouble2309]

@@Fishyyy this might not be the place to ask, but is 1946 superior to BoX for singleplayer content and enemy AI?

[@virtual_warbirds]

@@CueBall909 DCS can support huge bomber formations easily even in vr these days...just gotta have a top spec Alder Lake/Ryzen cpu.

[@algiz21]

This is so cool but, I have both games and quite a decked out il 2 sturmovik great battles in terms of dlc but I just suck at it and I'd have to get something like a track IR or VR

[@CanalBrotherG1]

the mod is VP ModPack? Does the mission need to have mods?

[@Fishyyy]

No and yes.

[@RhodokTribesman]

They're usually on YPack, but if you're playing alone, I'd stick with VP

[@CanalBrotherG1]

@@RhodokTribesman the VP ModPack is? in game version 4.13.4

[@DowJonesDave]

Can human players get on both sides at the same time?

[@heinzguderian8074]

yes. But Idk if BAT B17 is available for multiple player gunners or not.

[@Fishyyy]

Yes, people can be in a B-17 and in every other aircraft type at the same time.

[@Fishyyy]

This is the HSFX B-17 used in Ypack and with Barnesy's and our own fixes applied. It has nothing to do with BAT. We do not use BAT and I actively discourage people from using it.

[@heinzguderian8074]

@@Fishyyy Could you tell me why? Is it because of that 81Gb in memory?

[@Fishyyy]

BAT is based on 4.12 and we absolutely prefer 4.13, because of its multicrew and bombsight features. Most of the things in BAT are of low quality. For example: beacon indicators, multicrew positions and animations rarely work. For me personally, the big deal breaker is that things that DO work in single player, usually still do not work in replays. Also, it is an 81Gb "single player" mod pack without a significant AI mod, which is an absolute joke to me. Anekdote: We would like to fly a Bf 110 Lancaster/Halifax interception as multicrew. One guy as the pilot, one as radar operator and one as rear gunner. This is how BAT's multicrew setup in the Bf 110 G-4 is: Pilot can see the cockpit and the radar. The rear gunner can see the rear gun and the "radio compartment". The radio compartment actually exists twice in that version, one time with the radar screens and one time without. The rear gunner cannot access the version WITH the radar. I actually tested all nightfighter versions in BAT and all are either set up in that dumb way, or straight up only have one multiplayer slot. The Mosquito, He-219, and even the Me-262 night fighter version only have one slot. How exactly is anybody supposed to use the radar AND stare into the night sky looking for a bomber, at the same time? This is only one of the things I have tested, I can rant about things like that in BAT all day.

[@asdovas8919]

I didn't get: is this a single offline mission against AI planes or online?

[@Kurogumo]

Online against AI planes.

[@asdovas8919]

​@@Kurogumo then I dont understand why when I fight with the bots they are seeing at their six momentary and turning and spinning like Hartman never was, but your fight was rather different, in particular I mean the moment when you shot a mustang.

[@Kurogumo]

@@asdovas8919 Mods that affect how the AI works change how the planes react to fire.

[@Fishyyy]

That's straight up not true.

[@Kurogumo]

@@Fishyyy which part? I’m confused?

[@Hamzah.162]

Sho why dont you play il2 sturmovic or is it just better gfx

[@Fishyyy]

This is IL-2 Sturmovik.

@@Fishyyy its 1946 the old baby i ment the modern il2

I mean, you are looking at the reason. There simply are no heavies in BoX.
