High Octane Madness - Spitfire Mk IX Ace in day +1 - IL-2: Great Battles

[@crew3745]

Sooooo Id like to clear up why you would pick the town...... Lets chalk it up to severe intoxication....lmao I had just returned from an afternoon at my favorite pub and was feeling flighty.... I'm pretty ashamed I forgot to pickle the bomb thought I had dropped it. I aimed for the town because that was closest friendly lines trying to make it back when I realized I could not make it I was aiming for a field just outside of town without trees and thought I was gonna make it.... until the roof!!! lmao I did not even see that damn roof coming scared the shit out of me.... I then promptly cracked another beer and took off again lol And that kids is why you don't fly drunk! HAHA glad I could contribute to the video in a special way! Didn't even realize that was me until I remembered dersheriff downed me and I hit a roof! lol Keep up the great videos Sheriff.....

[@SheriffsSimShack]

Haha fantastic have another one tonight :)

[@crew3745]

@@SheriffsSimShack Oh yea wanted to say thanks for letting me ditch sheriff.... well at least attempt to ditch! Haha

[@GregsAirplanesandAutomobiles]

Good video Sheriff.

[@wallyknew]

Nice video. I like the way that 109 pilot slowed himself down, lowering his gear in order to bail.

[@iflycentral]

He picked the town so he could get a drink more quickly. : ) Not sure why he went for a roof though.

[@crew3745]

lol well I was severely intoxicated as I had just returned from the pub....lol and I was aiming for a field without trees and honestly did not see that roof though I was clear of town lmao and yes I wanted to get another beer.... hahaha

[@Jay-Niner]

Straight into the action, love the new style of the video!

[@old_guard2431]

If the Bf-109 had ditched the bomb it might have been easier to find something softer than a village to land on. . .

[@crew3745]

yes it would have in my drunken stupor I thought I had ditched it but I didnt realize I had not till I saw this video! lmao

[@koen7906]

Another nice video (just catching up, just started playing). Can you think of why it seems that I can see targets way easier on your videos, even when low on the deck etc, than on my game? I'm running highest settings and gamma at 0.8.

[@robant7899]

Hello I was hoping you could help me with a question. I currently have IL 2 via Steam. I see the sale prices direct from the creators website are really good. I don't care for the whole Steam complications. Can I delete my Steam game somehow and just start over with the website direct game?

[@SheriffsSimShack]

You can just buy stuff from the page with your current account and can add stuff from the official page

[@VexHD0]

I often have difficulty playing this game as I come from being used to DCS's controls and the abundance of customization with axis controls. Most of my problems originate with even slight movements of the pitch will cause my aircraft to bounce around which is not fun when lining up on a target. I do use the curvatures in game but they do not seem to make enough of a difference. I use the Logitech X56. Would you mind making a short video on how you setup your axis controls?

[@SheriffsSimShack]

I have not touched my axis controls. My input is linear.

[@VexHD0]

@@SheriffsSimShack Damn, you're really just that good in these war birds..... Hats off my friend.

[@SheriffsSimShack]

@@VexHD0 i mean that's all dependend on the stick i guess. Maybe with another stick i would need a curve. But i dont know.

[@HawkerMkIII]

Hello. Nice video! How can you shoot machine guns only, instead of machine guns and cannons? Thank you.

[@SheriffsSimShack]

You can assign buttons only for weapon group 1 or 2. 1 for (H)MG and 2 for cannons.

[@HawkerMkIII]

Sheriff's Sim Shack thanks.

[@cianw10]

What is the purpose of clipped wings on the spitfire? Is it just for reduced weight? And is there any downside like losing aerodynamics?

[@SheriffsSimShack]

Mainly for a faster rollrate and a little more speed. There arent many downsides. The aircraft turns a bit less well. Which means that the best turning aircraft is still the best with a ever so slightly reduced margin.

[@otrondal]

At 22:00 if the 262 can give you a holy f. you should be happy.

[@leighjones5551]

Quicker then the stair's to the Keller ?

[@bernardthefourth]

I love flying the spit. I just wish she was a little bit faster for some of the big maps. How much faster is the MK14?

[@SheriffsSimShack]

its not particularly slow on combat power

[@andrealves2630]

I was watching this video next to my mom, when she heard the moaning in 16:55 she thought I was watching porn

[@chrishickman9738]

@9:55 "dunno why it got credited to me" Maybe because you got the first shots on target?

[@hog8035]

You fly with the canopy open???

[@SheriffsSimShack]

Its closed...

[@hog8035]

How do you see beind your spit tail. I have Track IR and I can’t

[@SheriffsSimShack]

@@hog8035 hard to say. maybe you are flying the Vb which has less room to look around. Maybe you have t adjust your axis on TIR. I dont know

[@markstuart-howie5242]

I flew spitM9 against k4 in quick mission today and no contest; spit easily outperforms k4

[@SheriffsSimShack]

in all honestly the quick mission is not a proper test. The K-4 is the better plane overall.

[@andrealves2630]

Il-2 bots are the stupidest bots ever. They just dont put up a fight

[@-ec-fuzzy_rogue1411]

The K-4 is a fast boy. And it's supposed to be just that. The engine is heavy, forget about maneuvering. The K-4 is better, but for instance I find myself unable to maximize its performance. I'm much more comfy in the Spit

[@tonykeith76]

Best climbing aircraft in the game? Better than the k4?

[@SheriffsSimShack]

the 150 octane spit climb better than the K-4

[@tonykeith76]

@@SheriffsSimShack May be a stupid question... On Berloga, the planes the planes have the same performances they have on other servers.. Right?

[@SheriffsSimShack]

@@tonykeith76 right

[@tonykeith76]

@@SheriffsSimShack I had this doubt because with the Tempest I make almost easy kills .... Maybe because the fuel is low

[@SheriffsSimShack]

Tempest is just very fast.that helps :D

[@Gentleman...Driver]

He took the town because he wanted to maximize casualties?

I got news for you, propaganda didn't end in 1945. They just do it better now.

[@martijn9568]

Care to explain??

[@davidaitchison8875]

Just for the record; to "ditch" is to attempt to put your aircraft down on a body of water. It isn't the same thing as bailing out and nor is it an emergency landing. Sorry, but these things matter.
