@@HamvonBoom look up a yt chan called Sputlegin. His numbers make no sense. I have a suspicion that YT is scanning video for dialogue and algorithing them to some extent based on what you say in your videos. If you swear in your videos, you suffer for it. That said your language is spot on for real world adults.

Excellent Video HVB! We mostly use 8x70kg on the Me410. All big Bombs are not effective up to 1000kg in the Game.

[@HamvonBoom]

Widu! Nice to hear from you, bro. Hope to see you in TAW soon.......

[@hanswolfgangmercer]

This is great information! I appreciate someone going into detail on using this as a ground attacker. Most of the info out there seemed to just be about using the 410 to kill bombers, which is nice and all, but like you say, most of this gear was for killing B-17s and B-24s.

[@Grimdork713]

What a great guide. Looking forward for more!

[@MrJohnnyseven]

Nice looking plane

[@momotheelder7124]

The Helicopter style downward visibility is a nice feature not commonly seen in ww2 fighters.

[@spinnenbein1]

Very good, thx for teaching me.

[@davidwaVR]

Great Video. Now I want to learn how to use the bomb sight.

[@geramos109]

Was a bit disappointing not to have AP rounds for all those big guns and regarding ground attack I still feel that the 110 has more punch. Great video

[@HamvonBoom]

yea I would tend to agree about thew 110.

[@YourPalTheCommentor]

Bf110 g4 supremacy

thanks for sharing useful info 🎩

[@cianw10]

One thing BoX has been missing is AI bomber formations, was great in CloD. Unfortunately I don't think we will ever get them

[@rossmum]

11:23 - a very in-depth way of saying TLAR is still the best, and most reliable, aiming system. :D Great overview, I know some have been disappointed with the 410's pretty eh performance, but having fallen in love with the plane as a kid building model kits (badly) and playing European Air War (also badly) before I came to the Il-2 series, I knew what to expect. The versatility and cool quirks of the aircraft are more than reason enough to want to fly it, for me. I'm typically not much of a ground pounder, but WWII dive bombing is one of the few things that sucks me into it and the 410 really does excel in that role. e/ Absolutely agree on the heavies, too. Since there's some talk about BoX running out of stuff to cover (given they've said no to carriers, so Pacific is largely off the menu unless people are willing to accept an island-hopping IJAAF/land-based IJN/USMC/USAAF/RAAF campaign - which I doubt since a lot of people don't like long flight times and many atolls would already require scaling to fit the existing map sizes) I figure the best bet for a European expansion that's interesting and hasn't been done to death, would be the night campaign. Adding RAF heavies as AI, along with the 177 for the Germans, would give planes like the 110, 410, solid-nose 88, and Mossie an important additional context in the game and would open up some of the more methed out versions of the Dornier and Junkers Schnellbomber designs for playable bombers. You could then get all the nightfighter variants of the existing twins in, along with new toys like the He 219 and P-61. I don't see it ever happening, and I suspect if 1CGS aren't keen on doing carriers they won't be keen on doing early airborne intercept radars either, but it'd be yet another portion of the air war that no sim except the original Il-2 has covered (and even then, only quite long after the game's release). Shit, you could even add a glass-nosed Mossie for light bomber and/or pathfinder campaigns, the latter would introduce some genuinely unique gameplay.

[@HamvonBoom]

Currently learning the hard way in the TAW server that inputting the correct tgt elevation and wind speeds with no technochat is damn near impossible.

[@bhenders52]

Thank You HvB!

[@vincentmcmullen9376]

Nice level of info, cheers!

[@skychaser996]

Great job on the content!! 💪😁👍👍👍👍👍

[@1SaG]

Yeah, that lack of heavy bombers is a bit of a head-scratcher. Kinda like putting in a Stuka G-2 or an HS 129 (or, in fact an IL-2) without including tanks or other vehicles to shoot at. Even the original IL-2 did include 4-engined bombers to hunt in your Me 163 or Sturmbock A-8. I wouldn't expect B-17s or B-24s to be player controlled, but with the Rheinland and Normandy map, surely some AI bomber formations would be a welcome addition for mission builders. Plus an AI-only plane is probably way easier to implement than one that's intended for player-use. *shrug*

[@wheresthelambsauce8121]

Very good video!! Thx!

[@nobodyinparticular3341]

Unfortunately, I am a total noob at this, but I suspect other newbies may be asking the same question(s). I love the Stuvi system, and the limited yaw auto pilot, and I owe it to you HvB, for introducing me to it all. I want to learn to fly the 410 at the advanced/multi-player level, but as much as I love this plane, I am about to give up on the 410 cuz I need help ID'ing basic gauges to fly w/o overheating the plane. Which gauges are for oil and water? Shouldn't there be one for each engine--total of 4? (I just found "fuel gauge" buried in the Forum). Please accept my apologies for asking such a naive question. P.S. Next on list of things to do is read your booklet on ground attack!!

[@HamvonBoom]

Thanks for the kind words, bro. Temp gauges are down between the rudder pedals - green/water red/oil.

[@nobodyinparticular3341]

@@HamvonBoom THANKS!!!!!!!!!!! Sooner rather than later I will apply to your squadron for membership. I like your attitude about living (bringing back your plane and pilot) as a priority!!

[@Y0Y0]

Hi, I have a question about the target height for Stuvi bomb/gunsight. I see that you take it from editor. Is this "Y" from "Position" of object? What Does it meen? For example I have 12,71 - it means 12,7m for example?

[@HamvonBoom]

target height figure indicates number of meters above sea level.

[@trumoi91]

Thanks!!!

[@wagnerdantas1000]

Good job!

[@ulfricsombrage]

Nice video ! Just a question, what is the default keybinds to set target height and wind for stuvi ? Thanks

[@HamvonBoom]

I mapped mine to my stick and don't remember the default setting. Flyus should cover it in this extremely helpful video on 234 glide bombing - kzbin.info/www/bejne/nX-ze62cjLWsf5o&ab_channel=Kampfgeschwader76

[@fastfed]

the 1000 bomb, what is up with that one? it only detonates every few times I drop it.

[@janich_k13]

Sorry for the somewhat dated reply. I’ve recently started playing IL-2 and have gravitated to the ground attack role. Your manual and videos are extremely helpful. I’ve been getting cursory familiarity with each of the Luftwaffe airframes in single player. As you state in this video, the 410 flight characteristics are very easy to get used to and I find myself gravitating to this bird. Question, how viable would it be to focus on the 410, vice the 87, 110 or 88 (A4 or C6) as a new player just starting out. My gut says it would be better to spend more time in one frame, vice dabbling in many., and I’m trying to figure out which frame that should be. Welcome your thoughts and thanks for the great content.

[@HamvonBoom]

Well a big part of that question depends on whether you play primarily in online multiplayer or offline. If the former, you may find that the 410 is often not available in a particular server due to scenario timeframe. But I totally get where you're coming from as a new player, and there's nothing wrong with favoring one aircraft starting out. Eventually you will likely want to start branching out. I think you'll find the transition from 410 to 110 is easy, especially to the G2. It took me a long time to develop taxi-takeoff skills on the Ju 88 A4. The Fw 190 models present different challenges in terms of taxi and takeoff, and the Stuka and He 111 are fairly straightforward and easy to get competent on. You'll get to the point where you can hop in anything new, Allied or Axis, and at least be able to takeoff and land without issue provided you know the engine settings. If you choose to utilize the 410's Stuvi for bomb runs you're tied to the wind line for attack approach, and overall it's a much more complex method compared to using a static point on the gunsight to judge bomb release.

[@janich_k13]

Cheers, I appreciate the feedback.

[@4strokenicolaus]

Did you ever managed to feather the prop of a dead engine? This function seems to be not implemented in Game....

[@rossmarbow-combatflightsim5922]

Now I know how many bombs I have left

[@ArtietheArchon]

weird, the 410 should have better performance than the 110 in every metric. turn climb and bombload included

[@samo3288]

So it is worse than the bf-110 and ju-88 if you need to defend yourself against enemy fighter. At least it is better than the flying coffin otherwise known as hs-129!

[@Schuck.]

Quite clearly this does not have enough female content to get you more 'likes', please address the situation......! And yes the 410 is a bit flat, if you want an aircraft that performs way and above what it should do, look no further than the humble (on steroids') Hurricane.

[@HamvonBoom]

lol very true, and I'll work on the content - - - -
