IL-2 1946: Lone Survivor

[@Pandacat80]

this video is a testament of how difficult to shoot down a fighter with onboard machine guns. but AI gunners are ridiculously accurate.

[@predattak]

The engine that kept working at the end blended perfectly with the silence and the overall scene.

[@Amon26]

I'm late to the party but the jarring silence at the end with no movement was a thing. War doesn't care how close to home you are, you're not done gambling until the ride is done. Sobering

[@TheVictor639514]

Daaaamn~! I am thoroughly amazed with what you and your friends here have made! I actually found myself rooting for you to make a safe landing, which makes the silence at the end that much more impactful. Astounding job, Fishyy!!

[@wrblackbill]

Excellent. This one was more realistic than most. Super team, super coordination, excellent leadership from the cockpit.

[@densyyy2909]

Outstanding, totally outstanding! An epic in il-2 combat simulation. A new chapter has started, frontal attacks by AI, bomber formations that work as planned, realistic graphics, and crew work second to none. Absolutely love your nose art! The bomb drop was as good as I've seen yet. Thank you Fishyyy for bringing all this together, and to all your Confederates great work! SFAKTC ;) Hey Roberth, no harm no foul;)

[@Riccardo_Silva]

What a dramatic ending... Great vid as usual Fishyy and crew!!!

[@robgraham5697]

The B24 is a tough, old bird. Too and humans are so soft and squishy.

[@DreAmeoba1]

That was an impressive, emotional, ending…(almost felt like a tribute to lost bomber crews)..

[@davidhorkoff902]

It's been said by others already: this is truly epic! Thanks again for your amazing work putting these works together for us all.

[@andycaldwell7981]

Brilliant video! Top job ... makes me really grateful too for the sacrifice of so many!

[@thischaneldoesntexistnon497]

What an ending! I even got emotional, These videos are amazing. Please keep up the great work.

[@Aka_-xr5qq]

One of the best VP videos I've seen. Amazingly atmospheric video. One of the best !!!

[@migmadmarine]

Head on attacks are devastating. 25 missions you go home? Good luck with that! I've often wondered how many bombers were shot down by friendly fire

[@hariszark7396]

I was wondering about getting caught in between the crossfire...... Seems very easy to put some new holes in the plane near by.

[@iangoldsworthy2056]

I don't think they would pack a punch, The gun posts were designed to bring down fighters not heavy bombers. But I suppose fighter escorts may have contributed to shooting down friendlies.

[@Welther47]

Not many games can feel fresh after 15 years.

[@Szopen715]

15? More like 18 already, first verison, Il-2 Sturmovik: Forgotten Battles was released in 2003

[@Fishyyy]

The original was released in 2001 even

[@Welther47]

@@Fishyyy So we are all in agreement then :) It's a great game.

[@kaidenoliver4498]

I watched this in school when I was bored and I loved it I wasn’t able to comment back then but I love what you did here and wish to see more of it

[@Annur375]

Fantastic! It feels like we are part of the action. Thanks for sharing and Happy New Year.

Nail bitting all the way. The O Ending. Great job guys

[@bentilbury2002]

Superb! Well done Fishyyy and friends 👍

[@DavidLMadWI]

In real life the bombardier would have been in his crash location in the middle of the bomber, not in the nose turret seat. So he would probably have survived. Pilot and co-pilot survived the initial ground collision which would have been the worst. But for some reason when they go through the tree line they both die. Obviously the pilot was already in grave condition but was anything wrong with the co pilot?

[@Fishyyy]

It's a replay bug. In the real mission, the entire front section broke off and was crushed. We are aware of crews being in the center of the fuselage for takeoff and landing, but it's not a feature the game has.

[@charlieoscar19]

Great work everybody, a treat to watch!

[@chaitea3659]

i Couldnt imagine how scarred i would be stepping into a plane and finding only dead bodies where living people once where, and to wonder how horrifying their last moments must have been.

[@busterdee8228]

Incredibly immersive. Well done.

[@andrewmontgomery5621]

This reminds me of the movie Unbroken.

[@ryanaraujo521]

True

[@thehangar-d7b]

Another great video. Slibenli's Graphics Extender mod makes a big difference in improving the realism of this old flight sim.

[@andrewoliver8500]

I love these vids. Keep up the stellar work

[@Fishyyy]

Will do. Quite some more work has gone into AI improvements and this type of mission works even better now.

[@jetdoctn]

Think we are going to be writing that one off.

[@corvus9490]

I'd love to see you guys escorting US bombers in reversed Battle over Germany scenario, where you'd play as bomber escorts.

[@grupoaereo9]

AMAZING!!!! I kept the breath until the end!!!

[@Nick19962010]

I subbed to your channel recently and the IL2 content is amazing. And IL2 has more variants than what I play. (Aces High III)

[@dm730]

One of your best Fishyyy, simply one of your best....

[@chrisstonestreet7135]

Damn... hell of a mission.

Aw, that was a tragic ending :(

[@blueman013]

What an ending!

[@blubb9004]

Selling almost new bomber, flown only once. Slight traces of usages but other than that, still pretty fine.

[@bennett_walters221]

Hey, after watching your videos I got the game, im super pumped to play the b29's and b17's, but when trying to install the SAS Mod loader, it makes the game unable to launch, i have tried for countless hours, and now days to get it work, and nothing is working, any tips?

[@dancarson1479]

Imagine 262 making head on passes

[@Mattie123]

Great vid once again! Is the zonk mod ready for use or still under development? Love to see a P39 PTO mission at some point and RAAF over New Guinea, couple of P40s/ Beaufighters even some Beauforts 👍

[@Fishyyy]

Thank you! I think the zonk mod will be in development for a long time and you'll just have to use whatever is newest at times :/

[@Mattie123]

Thanks fishyyy! If i had a headset id join you in one of your missions but not got round to it yet, but always look forward to your vids 👍

[@kencook4956]

Great video. Loved it.

[@legomedic5102]

Such a sad ending

[@linoantoniosaavedra9522]

all dead... nice video!

[@Fishyyy]

You know, the video is called "lone survivor", because one guy survived. Right waist was still alive.

[@linoantoniosaavedra9522]

@@Fishyyy ok, by the end of the video i thought they all died. separate comment, it would be nice in video flying against german jg44

[@ryanaraujo521]

Nice vid man

[@jhanluisorta2519]

Wow, that was sad. No one made it back.

[@kg_sroberth2238]

one made it back. The right waist gunner

[@Ahmad-q4j1o]

Hi fishyyy. Where do you get the B-24Ds Paint Scheme or nose art? Thank you

[@Fishyyy]

The skins are default skins, which have been edited by DF, who added squadron markings and proper lettering. The noseart was made by myself. Edited image of Lauren Elise Compton, featured in Playboy. I think most of the stuff is available for download in the description.

[@moltke1870]

hey Fishyy, wich german city was the target?

[@Fishyyy]

Das Ziel war in Frankreich, die Stadt heißt Liege.

[@randomnwah4329]

yo fish, im getting my first pc soon and im really excited to get this game :) Can you play gunner in the libs by yourself? or do you need to play with others?

[@Fishyyy]

You can, but I cannot recommend having an AI pilot :)

[@randomnwah4329]

@@Fishyyy i see why, they'd fly you straight into the ground I just gotta learn how to use a keyboard for gaming, and how to mod without breaking everything 😂

[@Fishyyy]

I suggest to buy a joystick and play the unmodded game for a while ;)

Do you think that Y-Pack is better than VP Modpack? (I currently have VP Modpack)

How hard is this game for a total beginner? I really want to play some flying simulator based on WW2 and found this on Steam, but Im just afraid of the learning curve...

I guess the Ai mod is one thing the sas crew won't 'brand' as their own (just yet) because they said it couldn't be done ;) Give it time...

[@migmadmarine]

The 8th air force lost more men than the whole usmc in ww2. British bomber command even more

[@akulasuper8152]

you play with VR?

[@iangoldsworthy2056]

Was it only the Left waist gunner that survived? That was Brilliant! Just goes to show that Boeing made virtually indestructible Ships and could take a heck of a bashing. Same could be said about the crew only they are made of jelly! 🤣🤣

[@Fishyyy]

I am glad you like the video. The lone survivor was the right waist gunner :) B-24s weren't Boeings, though ;)
