IL-2 1946: To Hell and Back #4: Full Lancaster Bombing Raid

[@Fishyyy]

This was take 3, we got shot down earlier. When we got shot down, I yelled: "BAIL OUT" and then went: "Wait, what's on fire?"

[@Shadowwalker1717]

Was mods used to make look that so cool?

[@cskandrsgyrgy]

This video made me remember when as a kid I closed myself into a dark room in our house with a cigarette lighter, and I kept on switching it in the darkness to imitate flak during a night bombing raid. I wanted to feel what those aircrew could have felt.

[@cskandrsgyrgy]

@@frankgaletzka8477 You are right. Probably I've had watched some documentaries about bombers that time. My country (Hungary) was blasted by daytime air raids in 1944-45. My grandmother remembered it. Her sister's first husband was killed in an air raid. Then the eastern front swept over the country. Peolpe still hardly dare to talk about that.

[@AndyP998]

Theres is VR simulation called 1943 Blitz Berlin where you sit inside lancaster with that particular bombing raid with original radio traffic going around you as it was recorded. Very good vr experience

[@bl4dechipmunk39]

Same it's some thing that I can not fathom

[@FinnMobber]

I haven't even watched it yet, but damn, props to you Fishyyy for putting in the effort just to get this video up.

[@98SE]

Was gonna say the same thing, great job. I literally found this by searching IL-2 1946 into KZbin. :)

[@cskandrsgyrgy]

Three and a half hour of "To Hell and Back" in a Lancaster?! I'm in heaven and back! Thank you for the effort. We appreciate it.

[@marc13bautista]

More jets On a serious note, I really enjoyed this one. Night raids are amazing but youtube's handling with night videos suck. Thanks for your effort to make it viewable.

[@RascalKyng]

4K... woah... I'd only have the patience to compile this to 720p... admire your dedication. thanks!

[@grahamhighmore7702]

I’m glad I’m not the only one who had issues with the night-fighter A.I. The only way I could partly fix it and get the A.I to attack was by flooding the area with searchlights. Once coned the night-fighters would attack until the bomber went out of searchlight range. Awesome video btw, really appreciate the effort you guys went to.

[@The13American]

I remember when people were saying these kinds of missions would never be possible in IL-2 1946. It wasn’t that long ago! Thank you for your amazing effort. This video is a joy to watch.

[@kalebeww2]

Hello Fishyy, I apologize, because I'm from Brazil and I don't speak English (Google translator). But even so I want to congratulate you for the video, I noticed that it was hard work, but it was great, my congratulations and success.

[@ethanbai9639]

This is why I wish I had IL-2 1946. The details are so good and guess what, you make them even better and more realistic! Keep up the amazing work!

Get it on GOG. Currently 75% off, too.

[@srabansinha3430]

The more I watch your videos the more I get interested in the entire idea of digital flying as you do... although I don't understand the nitty gritty details in the flying , I still enjoy your videos ! Keep doing more !!

[@andrewmontgomery5621]

My late grand-dad absolutly loves the Lancaster.

[@crazylegoarmy]

Damn fishyy thank you for this amazing video! I never would have guessed how much work it would have been. Thank you so much for all of this hard work for the community.

What an adventure it had to be :D that's why I love IL-2

[@toredronen4980]

This production is huge and now I understand why it took you a while to get it uploaded. The lighting is very good for a Utube night flight and the atmosphere in the air with the evening and night lighting conditions is something special. I love to listen to you guys chat while flying. Astonishing landing, by the way ;)

[@M4rcom44]

The great colossal KZbin movie ever done!

[@wrblackbill]

Thanks guys. That was lots of work. I'm surprised you were not able to monitor the fuel, but good landing given the circumstances. That landing took teamwork and skill on both parts. Sehr gut. Gruss aus dem Rheingau. Bill

[@Fishyyy]

We didn't run out of fuel because we missmanaged it or anything. Permanent fuel leaks simply remove all of your fuel, which is complete BS. Sadly, there is no way to manage fuel tanks in 1946.

[@valianteffort7034]

What a great endeavour! Hopefully playing Valiant Effort will be much more bug-free and optimized to fly these sorts of night ops!

[@cannonfodder6654]

Fantastic stuff! A Lancaster pilot, VC Bill Reid stayed in my town, met him few times.He was on the dambusters raid, amongst other sorties over targets in Germany. Wonder what he would make of this.

[@bobka_old]

Great work, thanks for the vid!

Dude, what kinda VOIP overlay is that? It sounds amazing!

I cut the lows and heights, so it sounds like we were wearing oxygen masks. Thank you :)

Thanks for the Highlights in the description! I love that.

Mission looks fantastic, especially the searchlights. Props mate

[@robertmiller2173]

The end was the most exciting part

[@briand235]

what a great ending! genuinely nail biting

[@densyyy2909]

Hey diddle diddle Right down the middle, absolutely outstanding video! Fishyyy I swear I've spent many sleepless nights watching and rewatching this particular video. Not that it's boring, but it's easier to see clearly. I'd bet you spent the same amount of time on this video as some of the Masters spent on their works of art. Stay Fishyyy and keep them coming!!! P.s did I ever tell you that this would make a great T shirt?

[@Fishyyy]

I am still thinking about the T-shirt idea. There is a company in Germany that prints high quality custom shirts. I'll have to nail the image, though.

[@densyyy2909]

@@Fishyyy you are the best there is!

[@Mr1borrego2]

Well that was interesting. I'm running a Dell t-7500 with 4 quad cores at 3.02 and a n Nvidia GTX-1080. But to be honest a couldn't see much even in 2160p. It was sort of radio version of "Target for Tonight" Anyway thanks for the effort and oh, nice landing there Crabster!

[@Fishyyy]

Your PC specs don't have anything to do with the brightness. This is way brighter, then what we actually saw during the mission.

[@Mr1borrego2]

@@Fishyyy Geeze you must not have seen much at all. How did you spot the night fighters?

[@jakubbuszko3089]

HI & hello now I need 10 hours flying as AMSR video ! :) Thanks a lot Mr. Fishy !

[@keithw4920]

So you took longer to film this video than an actual WW2 night raid?

[@kiwipinos]

My Grandfather flew to Stettin took 10 hours the operation.

[@keithw4920]

@@kiwipinos Its in his comments, he said 27.5 hours of footage.

[@kiwipinos]

@@keithw4920Yes but actual Operations were around 5 hours. I have my Grandfathers Logbook.

[@thebollock9427]

Wow, what a slog. Hats off to you guys it was epic. Such a shame you can't transfer fuel from leaking tanks as in B17 mighty 8th. Had to turn the brightness up on the tv and sit in the dark to see anything.

[@hansclaw]

nice landing

[@alanblundell6615]

Any more bombing runs for us to join?

[@alanblundell6615]

Well-done, you got home. I still haven't found a WW2 Flight sim as good as IL2 !946. Trouble is it became too complicated with too many additional mods.

[@georgipamukov1616]

Great video - as always! Keep it up!

[@jjt1093]

Great Mission on an amazing aircraft, As soon as I saw you get pinged by the search lights forst thing came into my head "Corksrew" Shame you didnt :)

[@Fishyyy]

Corkscrewing every time you are in a searchlight is overkill. It doesn't even really help against those AI searchlights, either.

Hallo Fishyyy, ich hab mich gefragt ob du auch die neueren IL-2 Titel spielt, oder noch andere Spiele wie WarThunder? Ich finde deine Videos echt gut und lustig mach weiter so!!!

[@Arik33241]

Excuse me, Fishyyy, i want to ask a question. Sorry if i don't watch this video until the end because i don't have the time right now, but are there any Avro Lancaster variations with FN-64 ventral turret in IL-2 1946?

[@Fishyyy]

There aren't :/ Never even heard of that before tbh^^

[@thebollock9427]

Yes they did make a small number with the ventral turret fitted. It was pretty useless though, which is why they did away with it.

[@busterdee8228]

@@thebollock9427 A few were re-fitted in an attempt to counter Shrage Musik.

[@thebollock9427]

@@busterdee8228 shouldn't think it would be much use for that. It was aimed via a periscope. They had trouble hitting anything with it in broad daylight never mind total darkness lol

[@chrissmith3668]

I haven’t looked enough into the RAF night bombing campaigns but it looks like you guys are alone. Was there no formations at night?

[@Fishyyy]

No there weren't. We're not alone, there are bombers everywhere around us. It's called a bomber stream.

[@chrissmith3668]

@@Fishyyy thanks for the reply Fishyyy. So the stream was much more wide than it was deep. Makes sense since it would be too easy to collide at night in a standard combat box. Love the videos. I had to explain to a girl I’m talking to what I was watching while I was on the phone with her. I told her I was watching a bunch of guys play a video game flying wwii planes. Needless to say she was thoroughly impressed. I’ll send you guys the wedding invitations

[@Fishyyy]

I know that feeling xD

[@jaybabcock9123]

Do you guys ever run multiplayer servers? This game is like no other and it really sucks that There is nobody to play with.

Nice

[@Kommradable]

Very nice touch at 3:25:20 with the masks

[@PeterMatthess]

My question: how do I fly the Lancaster on realistic bombing missions like this? How do I get the Lanc, and how do I get the long range map where I can fly from an English airbase all the way to the target and back in one go?

[@flare242]

Wow, this really looks horrible. I'm not criticizing the author of the video, the video is fine, but the game just looks... baaad. I haven't played Il-2 1946, but i bought and spent a lot of time in the original few versions of Il2 +datadisks, way back in years 2003-2005. I don't remember night missions looking this bad, but maybe i'm wrong. I'm now flying mostly GA civilian planes in X-Plane, but lately i've been watching a lot of dogfighting videos, tried the DCS demo for a bit, and thought about getting back to WW2 flying. Have you played IL2 - the Cliffs of Dover and/or the Tobruk? If so, what do you think about it? Does it look/work better than 1946?
