Hell Over Krymskaya | Kuban He 111 Career Ep.11 | IL-2 Great Battles

[@scientificconsideration8294]

Definitely the most exciting ep so far in the series, from bombsight malfunctions to interceptors. The whole thing would prob be a real butt-clencher for the crews irl.

[@Mr66D]

Indeed.

[@jagordon1976]

I think I got whiplash with this one after the last couple with less action. But it certainly was exciting! Another great episode. Keep up the good work.

Great vid!:)

[@arthurcrego8297]

Nice mission

[@BasmatiJones]

I enjoy all of the mission flight details and engine management; too many "sims" get so simplified that they are more of an arcade game. Thanks for a great series.

[@Mr66D]

Aye, IL-2 strikes a pretty good balance when it comes to that. Though I do wish bombsights were less simplified.

[@judyhopps9380]

The Russians finally respond. Another exciting video M66d. Love the whole series.

[@Mr66D]

Thanks! 3 milk runs in a row used up all the good luck.

That was some heavy interception. Wonder if your escorts were sleeping or just overwhelmed, as it seemed like there was more than one flight of enemies. Pity there is no info on enemies killed by the escorts. You were going over 260 and set the bombsight to 250, so hitting too far was somewhat a given. On a positive note, there wasn't enough friendlies alive on landing to kill one another! Not sure how it works in this game, but I've seen, that on the dorsal turret of the 111 you can push the canopy way ahead and the gimble the gun is attached to gains better arc that way, it basically rotates around even. Not sure if that's only a case for certain models of 111 and whether it's even simulated in the game. I wonder if that was Bismarck's video where he was climbing around the He 111... Also might have just been a fever dream, who knows...

I'm gonna chalk up the bombing error to my brain being saturated by the action. As for how the fighters got through, they attacked from above and the Yak-1b and Yak-9 are faster than our 109s so they would've been able to make at least one clean pass before the 109s got stuck in. That and there might have been enough of them to keep the 109s busy and attack my bombers at the same time, I didn't get a clear idea of how many there were.
