Ah yes, the legendary ghost-wrecked BF 110, it can passes any tree on its way

[@Kevin-hb7yq]

Bloody Luftwaffe, they got the Ents on their side.

[@Dafmeister1978]

That cheating bloody German, turning collision detection off for landing!

[@colindouglas7769]

C/O to Taff: "Where the hell have you been?" Taff to C/O: "Learning to swim, Sir!" C/O to Taff: "Did you get one?" Taff to C/O: "All I got was a bellyful of English Channel!"

[@odonovan]

So, we discover one of the Germans' most secret weapons, phantom trees!

[@Kevin-hb7yq]

The tippy top branches are made of iron if I brush up against them, but the AI knows how to phase through.

[@Russia-bullies]

Actually,they are dummy trees.😁

[@persallnas5408]

What happend to your Sebastian von Dannenberg playthrough, is this an interlude or are you ditching the former?

[@copee2960]

Those Blenheim aircraft ..no thanks ..they were obsolete before the war broke out...in the book bomber boys it tells the story of crews dumping their bombs in the North sea and then flying around for a few hours and then RTB..who can blame them...good show Taff ..Pip Pip.

[@johnsullivan6843]

Ooh this is a bit of a cliff-hanger! I will be right back here for the next episode.

[@cam553]

Nice clip and commentary. I just picked this up so was keen to see some footage of gameplay.

[@woofdogmeow2159]

Fly the condor down the channel they said it will be fun they said. What could go wrong they said?

[@DaveSchlamone]

Another great upload :)

[@TeamFusionMod]

Great video. Will have to get you onto one of our online events Taff :)

[@Kevin-hb7yq]

Nice couple of sorties Taff!!

[@jamesrussell7760]

Did you hear me yelling at you, Taff, to keep some distance from those bloody German airfields? They are loaded with AAA, don't you know? Had to bail out near the French coast, I see. Not good. Might be a guest at the Stalag Luft for the next 5 years. Bloody hell!

[@Perktube1]

Hopefully he'll get 13. Hogan will have him back home in three days. 😉

[@motorheadrocker6504]

Thanks for the video Taff!

[@Paludion]

Too bad you couldn't shoot down the Condor yourself. Going after it even with his engine in fire was a bit overkill though.

[@RemusKingOfRome]

What ammo have you loaded in thos 303s ??? looks like pathetic ball, try using AP and Incendiary.

[@landphil7436]

I think there was a bad case of trying the ai nosedive tactic at 10:34

[@Perktube1]

Well Taff that's two Spits you've lost to Jerry. Though I suppose it's not all your fault. How can you land a hit one the 110's if they've got bloody ghost-clip wings? We'll have to have our boys reverse engineer that…

[@carbidegrd1]

my Dad was a fitter in the RAF. I showed him these videos and he thought they were great.

[@currololo]

To me, landscape in IL-2 CoD looks more realistic than in IL-2 GB. Hopefully Team Fusion releases the VR version soon.

[@geraldbeach9887]

heard of deflction shooting

[@Galantus1964]

Wow right through several trees... such a good game

[@arthurcrego8297]

I just hope were not new flying boots, shame to get them wet..

[@ronaldwatson1951]

Very Good I definitely liked the grafics and store line. If it wouldn't be a issue, I would like to know the specs of your computer, you have me sold. Thank you in Advance. Great video

[@Echo_4609]

just got new internet today too and crazy able to watch in 1440p 60FPS and it looks so damn good, great video man

[@Kevin-hb7yq]

Nice

[@oneoldcurmudgeon403]

Why are you not wearing a flight helmet?

[@Kevin-hb7yq]

The uniform gets him free drinks at the pub.🍻

[@bluestorm3628]

I’m very much glad that you seem to be keeping parts of the overall story out of this, I read it and I think it’s a bit much to be frank. The end is also well not that great. At lest in my opinion, so I wouldn’t be sad at all if you take your liberty to change things in it here and there in it. Overall another great video by you good sir 😎

[@richardmitchell2274]

Fw 200 condor, submarine finder

[@davethaw9334]

Tell the Story about how the young woman fixed the Spitfire And The hurricane CARBURATION problems. Not To many people know that a young woman Engineer designed A washer to the fuel system to correct this Problem in 1940.

[@motorheadrocker6504]

Please, just anyone knows, where I can get the static campaigns for Cliffs of Dover Blitz? I'm looking for Spitfire campaigns. Now I got the Steam version of Blitz, and there are only two small static Spitfire campaigns. Try to search on SAS and mission4today, but there are no campaigns for Blitz.

[@stevengabriel3269]

What MK Spitter is this?

[@jonell379]

Mark 1 I think

[@jeffreynelson2660]

does the game work in VR?

[@Guillermo90r]

Did Flight Lead get hit? Didn’t look like it.

[@jonqueller4444]

I think the AI did a downward maneuver by mistake

[@Guillermo90r]

@@jonqueller4444 Oh. Ok. That makes more sense.

[@soupwizard]

Looks like Flight Lead took a couple of 20mm to the right wing at 10:42, maybe that jammed his right aileron? Or he caught some shrapnel and passed out?

[@emmanuellengagne6188]

Hey Taff When are you starting a new career with Rise of Flight . These are my prefered careers, and wish you pick a french one (Too many british or german already done on YT) ;) Just my 2 pennies ;)

[@bobcharles9009]

yes phantom trees, me110 at end, also why are pilots wearing service cap they never flew with such, only leather helmets, a spitfire Mk II in Mk I colours is very wrong, yet it has the early Mk I Flaps gauge , also colours VERY WRONG, that green is nothing like the darker olive green, looks more like Gunze Sanyo model paint they (GS) got wrong ruining many models now. and the mguns are weak and inaudible, then that electric blue aura on glazing even on the ground never seen that in real life at all looks stupid, and spoils the realism, pure fiction, why add that in when reality is not that. I have seen earlier videos where this sim looked real that glazing is now silly, yet this is the developed version it seems, what have they done to it, oh dear, come on lets see correct colours and ditch the head gear and that awful glazing blue. Apart from such fundamental errors very good !

[@pilott7435]

Hi sorry but you show no turbulence and you are so calm this is not how it was

[@sgt610]

I think everyone with common sense knows it wasn't how it was including taff so I wouldn't get to worked up about it. And anyway there wouldn't be much turbulence at that altitude

[@timonsolus]

Young 19 year old rookie Taff thinks he's immortal, nothing bad will ever happen to him, only to others. That's why old men send very young men to fight wars.

[@Kevin-hb7yq]

He sounds calm because he's British.

[@Kevin-hb7yq]

@@sgt610 Also, video quality suffers if it's too bumpy.

[@danielharrison6484]

How do you get the interactive cockpit?

[@edmond012345]

I watch 2 video's you loosing 4 airplains. You bad at this game
