In 1943, somewhere in the Pacific, Fishyyy, DarkenedFantasies, Crabby and Marcom engage a japanese convoy in their B-17Fs. The convoy is protected by a Myoko class heavy cruiser, a Kagero class destroyer and an Akizuki class destroyer, but that does not stop us!
Thank you to FL2070 for editing the voice recording.

Crabby decided to join his aquatic bretheren!

[@imthecrabby]

I am indeed home again.

[@doatg1967]

Awesome video Fish, love the way you give many views throughout your mission.

[@jensleck547]

nothing is better than IL-2 1946🤩

[@rinaldiaars5443]

Love the radio feedback effect.

[@metivs]

Very peaceful video to watch. I never tought B 17 could drop bombs in the "frog" way against the ships. Wow!

[@chaitea3659]

its a shame that not many people know about il2 1946 because everybody is so focused on il2 battle of stalingrad

[@aydin8089]

yeah im so happy i found Fishyyy cause i would have been stuck with bos

[@dallas_pandora4206]

True. And Il2 battle of Stalingrad isn’t even that good in the first place.

[@DrydockDreamsGames]

So beautiful & rewarding to watch...

[@imthecrabby]

We’re all looking forward to playing TFA - Crabby

[@brotheriii6133]

I liked this video and the radio sounds that you made when you talked was awesome. 👍🏾

[@emerymiguel9922]

I realize I'm kinda randomly asking but do anyone know a good website to stream newly released tv shows online?

@Emery Miguel Lately I have been using FlixZone. You can find it on google =)

thank you

[@Riccardo_Silva]

Nice vid and nice mission too but what i really enjoyed is editing! Thumbs up! What a pity no score points have been recorded! What is the value points of the cruiser sunk by Marcom?

[@cskandrsgyrgy]

Bombers against ships is basically the same as fighters against bombers, just on a different order of magnitude.

[@emmano6340]

Awesome video as always. Btw what happened to Tony ?

[@korolev-musictodriveby6583]

Great fun ! Thanks , all of you ! :)

[@Gong030]

Skip bombing in heavy bombers looks so awesome, but boy oh boy do you take a lot of AAA trying to press home those attacks.

[@KanJonathan]

Especially up against Akizuki-class AA destroyer.

[@RuskiWaffle]

Is there a complete list of ypack planes? (Not including the extra things like korea or vietnam)

[@Trimtank]

What were the results? Did you guys do well?

[@dammy4403]

Crabby, NOOOOO!

[@thewakeup5459]

The ship at 4:21 got destroyed by friendly fire.

[@Wilhelm22]

Would have been cooler with FW 200 Condors, there are some cool ordnance mods that let you get period-accurate glide-bombs and rocket-assisted bombs to attack ships with. Keep up the cool videos Fishyyy B)

[@pipipupu4359]

i think he has a condor video, glide bombs sond cool af

[@Fishyyy]

There are two Condor anti ship videos actually. Cannot really use glide bombs, though. Technical issues in recordings.

[@Wilhelm22]

@@Fishyyy Yeah I've seen them, theyre good, I was asking for more hahahaha. Keep making good videos Fishyyy

[@Minong_Manitou_Mishepeshu]

Could a B-17 with its tail shot off be able to stabilize a little by opening the bomb bay doors, using those as two small tail surfaces?

[@thewakeup5459]

No. They're too small

[@jmccallion2394]

Have been watching Fishyyy and co for about a week. He sounds so much like Arnie I am waiting to hear references to UZI 9MM and I'll be back!!!!!

[@abesilux]

Which mod you used to audio effect old communication?

[@jg7Momo]

They were edited manually as mentioned in the description.

[@4games2gamers]

nice video (Y)

[@raymondyee2008]

Reminds me of the B-17 “Black Jack”.

[@CoLdFlaMe88]

Hi Fishyyy, wollte mal fragen welche deiner Mods für die Grafik zuständig sind. Wie immer gutes Video!

[@CoLdFlaMe88]

Vorallem dein Antialiasing ist ziemlich gut. Hab in den Nvidia Einstellung alles hoch geballert, aber funktioniert leider nicht so gut.. zumindest sieht es bei dir deutschlich besser aus Lg

[@Fishyyy]

Frag mich das nochmal auf unserem Discord oder so. Ich hab keine Lust hier jetzt so nen mega Kommentar zu schreiben, der alles beantwortet.

do you need a strong graphic card to play this beaufitul game?

Potato? You can run this game on vodka lol

I have been in the nose of a B17 G model in flight, it is a great time.

[@Fishyyy]

The Queen of the Skies

[@thomashiggins9320]

Holy crap. Your planes got shot all to hell. Still, a good exchange in the calculus of war, I guess. One plane for two cargo ships is probably a good trade, for everybody except the crews of the planes.

[@Fishyyy]

And a heavy cruiser and a Destroyer?

[@andrewbranch4918]

Did a kangaroo do that landing?😁✌️

[@grovergodwin8187]

For this attack, why not attack the ships front to back rather than broadsides. Your window of opportunity is far bigger and if you overshoot you still have a chance to hit the boat. Also, you face less AAA front or back than from the broadside.

[@Fishyyy]

Yeah, Marcom, why didn't you attack from astern?!

[@TheCatMan7626]

Yes, bombers are honestly superior to any other aircraft besides heavy fighters. I basically like bigger aircraft lol.

[@bentilbury2002]

I like big bombers and I cannot lie? 😁

[@signs80]

heavy fighter master race, dogfighting in the Bf-110 in the new IL-2 game is my favorite

[@andrewbranch4918]

Skip bombing in a fort! Gutsy as f**k I love it. Was that a real wartime tactic? If it was I have even more respect for the bomber crews 😎✌️

[@Fishyyy]

Yeah, not a common one, but it was done a few times.

[@cezarypluskwa4183]

Nice video, but bombing by heavy B-17s from the low-altitude of ships is impossible. Only by medium or high altitude in the horizontal carpet raid. It's not the B-25 or the B-26, low attack bombers.

[@Fishyyy]

It happened in real life. Fair enough, not regularly or often, but it did. You need to get your facts straight, before you write something like that.

[@cezarypluskwa4183]

@@Fishyyy The few successes of the B-17s were the Bismarck Sea in 1943. They sank one AP from 1500m a.s.l. This year they were withdrawn from the Pacific finally.

[@Fishyyy]

They did skip bombing. At night. I researched it, before we did it. Just because of people like you.
