You crashed with a Yakrolev, you survived, the paras were grounded successfully, your left wing was ass fucked but you were able to land it. 10/10 I would hire you as my personal pilot

[@SDDrewGS4]

wow! the cracked wing is incredible! This was one of my favorite videos, short, sweet and very realistic.

[@herbertsattelmeier2941]

very realistic? really? you are from america? ib reality the ju52 wing would be crashed too.

[@floatingchimney]

+SDDrewGS4 It's not realistic at all. There's absolutely no way the wing of the other plane would be intact. Both wings would be cut off.

[@googlepissoff5776]

Do you guys not see the huge crack in the wing?

[@Hordalending]

That Russian Yak-pilot, if he survived the crash, undoubtedly died of shame later that day because of his epic amateureness.

[@kastro4460]

4:02 "I'm tired of gravity, fuck it"

[@Shannmeister]

Nice vid but please excuse my being pedantic when I say that the fallchirmjagers parachutes are wrong, they had a single point of contact for the parachute to the harness which made the landing style nearly uncontrollable except for the most adept and then it wasn't easy, also fallschirm jumped with the smock over their tunic and combat equipment which amounted to little more than a pistol and maybe some grenades, all other weapons were contained in weapon canisters which were dropped at the same time along with them. Before anyone shoots me down (excuse the pun), yes I know I am a sad sack and I don't get invited to parties etc etc. :)

[@anttitheinternetguy3213]

Shannmeister you sound like a nice guy, here have a like on your comment brother 👏

[@miller8097]

Like delivery, please sign here

[@Sammakko7]

Antti The Internet Guy a ’niceguy’

[@kolbpilot]

You're right about the harness. The German's did use that odd, single point of contact on their parachutes. The advantage I believe, was the German could fire his weapon while descending more easily. The disadvantage of course, as you said, was the lack of parachute control while descending.

[@mr.muldoontoyou]

You're right about the harness, but the weapons being in a container was not always the case.

[@coloneljacobs2217]

The ruskies actually experimented and even implemented paratroopers that - uh - didn't have parachutes. Since parachute silk was expensive, the soviets sought a cheaper alternative. In the battle of Moscow a platoon of troopers was dropped from 30 feet into the snowbank, and only suffered mass caz!

[@waterheaterservices]

A glorious revolutionary idea from The Party

[@morgangale4382]

well now that was very good my father actully jump ed from those plans during the last war again well done

[@dhillr_il2]

Wow that's cool. S!

[@suddenuprising]

watching those fighters pass you head-on is fucking intense

[@johnnypatterson77]

That wing was only being held together by 1or 2 rivets, amazing it held till the landing.

[@spatterson1039]

That was intense! Great video!

[@cskandrsgyrgy]

Wow. Really unexpected turn. Excellent simulator, excellent flying!

[@Coinkidoink]

Tante ju didnt even care about being rammed, what a machine

[@Drexel48038]

those Fallschirmjägers Narrowly avoided death in the skies only to drop into the Frozen Hell that is the Eastern Front.

[@sc18594]

Very nice great success!

[@barno01]

Great video, really nice defensive shooting. Great landing, all things considered.

[@timur5241]

Wow! After collision you still were flyable :)

[@jamistyk2538]

very nice!!!!

[@F_Bardamu]

Impressive collision! Btw the red pilot is a jerk for ramming a harmless Ju52.

[@Harro99]

I dont think he did it on purpose. When I was learning to fly I did the same thing. He took to much risk and probably felt bad after.

[@LosingandMakingExcuses]

i'm amazed this game can make a Ju-52 so epic

[@Eucsneto]

Nicely Done

[@mhacker84]

Wow. That wing is solid)

[@AndyP998]

Good work, although dropping paras in that winter would have propably give them frostbites in air

[@oreste1964]

Bellissimo!

[@rafaellacerda6892]

Pow tá ta tá tá buuum tá tá tá tá, vai lá zero meia tá tá tá tá tá tá tá

[@DJScaleModels]

If I may ask, why not kill throttle on landing and try to "ease" onto the strip? Or is IL-2 not kind to that style of landing?

[@billh1337]

4:05 wtf am I doing in my life

[@NurElMuzafir]

👍

[@dimasrahadian]

epic damage details

[@cianw10]

Can you drop paratroopers from any other planes other than this one?

[@CapFreddy]

nice recovery from that half spin, low level dive.

[@davequinn2369]

Excellent

[@dhillr_il2]

Thanks you!

[@souljah11b]

Are there missions for this plane in BOS or BOM?

[@dhillr_il2]

Only for random mission generator style "Campaign" currently. We may be able to see them in new Career mode or Scripted Campaigns in 2017.

[@hdaviator9181]

What happened on landing? Did you pull up on purpose or did the wing come off on touchdown and you lost control?

[@dhillr_il2]

I was pulling the stick slightly up to reduce speed but the plane was already out of my control on the ground.

[@jc40k72]

3:25 Probably just stupid AI, but aerial ramming wasn't uncommon in the early stages the war.

[@parawill7074]

Is the paratroopers currently available with IL-2 BOS and BOM on steam? Also, is it possible to have the paratroopers do follow missions after they land in the editor? Great vid!

[@dhillr_il2]

For now those paratroopers are just static objects, unfortunately. I hope for more active ground battle mechanics such as defending towns or capturing airfield with paratroopers in the future. :) Oh.. and you need Ju-52 Tante Ju to drop paratoopers.

[@parawill7074]

dhillr Thanks, bro

[@parawill7074]

One thing, can you use the paras in the mission editor?

[@dhillr_il2]

Yes you can create mission types of paratrooper-drops or cargo-drops in the mission editor.

[@parawill7074]

dhillr Great!

[@nathangallup6411]

Is there any mouse aim in this game? Or joystick only?

[@dhillr_il2]

I haven't played it with a mouse but yes the game supports mouse play as well.

[@avianorthwest8046]

YOU HAVE A HOLE IN YOUR RIGHT WING

[@robertsistrunk6631]

I think it would have snapped off long before that.

[@gregjackwayjackway2427]

good save . mission susess

[@Billy-I-Am-Not]

5:10, theres a hole in you rleft wing

[@Norbyusz]

lol ramming noob ai :D when is Kuban released? very nice flight btw

[@dhillr_il2]

Kuban is currently on Early Access stage and full release scheduled for late 2017.

[@JdebMkay]

3:58

[@ghostiewhostie238]

What is the newest IL-2 game?

[@dhillr_il2]

The newest one is IL-2 Battle of Kuban.

[@Woodeneyejust]

I wonder can you shoot up the paradroppers?

[@dhillr_il2]

Shooting the parachutes is possible but not sure about shooting up the pilot or other soldiers. Actually that's an interesting question. :D

[@majkunikom3678]

in the first il 2 sturmovik game it was possible to shoot and kill pilot while he was parachuting without destroying his parachute

[@m.v.a.l7669]

3:26 lol

[@tikeda4193]

Nice hard landing Lolol

[@user-qr3yt3nt4c]

Конструкция гансовских парашютов неправильно. 🙄

[@mybluebelly]

Nothing but WWII veterans in the comments section again i see.
