IL-2 Great Battles | Hawker Hurricane | Ep.3 - Bomber Intercept!

[@EggnogTheNog]

Cheeky Taff, trying to scare us with that opening clip! 😉

[@Colaris99]

I have to admire the team's attention to detail. I swear I saw a small puff of blood when you hit that Stuker pilot as it whizzed past and then he slumps in his seat.

[@Cryshalo]

Well done on bringing it home in the end despite the Captain Kangaroo ending, and congratulations on becoming an Ace already!

[@johnclarke2553]

Normally no flap on take off for the Hurri! However for a short-field takeoff, 28° (two notches) is permitted.

[@swampyankee]

Those .303's are like death from 1000 cuts.

[@Keatononame13]

Glad I found your channel, I had a cyst lanced and drained from behind my earlobe from wearing a mask 12 hours a day, sitting in bed weak as shit fighting an infection. Great way to take my mind off of how fucked my body is atm. I love the mini-movie cinematics. Thanks.

[@mikhailiagacesa3406]

LOL!

Couldn't hit water if he fell outa boat

[@mikemontgomery2654]

I still like the cannons and 50s better. Sure, you get more ammo with the 30s, but the cannons and 50s have a much worse bite that makes them so much more effective.

[@adamtruong1759]

I think you should stick with the 20s and 50s, not going to lie.

[@jsmith3772]

Yes the 303s is like shooting BBs at a Rhino

[@brotheriii6133]

Welcome back to the fight comrades. 👍🏾

[@Droodog127]

sets convergence to 250 meters - proceeds to fly up the ass of the stuka before firing

[@SauronEye]

One tip: never assume a smoking plane is going down. Most times they can still fight despite having some engine damage.

[@davidhull6740]

The J87's A i gunners & pilots skills seem to be set at a low level of ability during this mission perhaps for easier game play. The J87 aircraft in this wonderful sim are not normally this easy in to take on. They are massively harder to shoot down on certain servers when flown by a human & not by A i inputs. Also the rear gunner would normally be a far better shot with his A i ability increased, furthermore the human controlled pilot would throw the aircraft around far more to make them dam hard to hit. The A i game can set to different levels of ability but when flying on certain worldwide servers with a bigger human input one can find the going really tough. A great video to watch well done.

[@skidzholeshot1316]

in later MKs of aircraft when you couldnt see out the front screen there is a button that you press to squirt a little petrol on to the oil to break it up so you can see forward,german planes had this idea first.

[@bluestorm3628]

You tried to fool us with that start. Very smart and almost had me but I saw that parachute. And there was no one in that copit. 😏 Edit: ok you sill fooled me that was an alia aircraft you cheeky man 😅👍

[@jsmith3772]

The Merlin engine in the Hurricane seems to handle oil loss very well at least in Il2, I have flown quite a ways on an oil leak and made it home safely

[@foreverpinkf.7603]

As far as I know British car engines, there couldn´t be enough oil. Check fuel and fill up oil.

[@skidzholeshot1316]

@@foreverpinkf.7603 more oil = more oil pressure for flowing round the engine to rads .etc.

[@jameswilliams1085]

I prefer this loadout.....great video!!!

[@jamesrussell7760]

Tafinski, you're a true fighter pilot. You see the enemy and your fangs come out, lol! But, I won't lie, when I saw all that oil from your engine, I was yelling at you to GO HOME...NOW! BTW, recommend you stay with the .303 MGs. 20mm cannons do more impressive damage, but the ammo loadout sucks. If you had just the cannons this time you would probably have been out of ammo after just 2 kills. Instead, you got 3 and still had ammo left.

[@NephilBlade]

How 'bout a 100 meter convergence?

[@swedishviking2207]

More!!

[@MrKnoxguy101]

She’s a bit twitchy on take off. Probably has a lot to do with the surface she’s on. Beautiful plane the Hawker Hurricane.

[@Lord.Kiltridge]

Regarding your convergence. I was thinking the same thing. The way you engage, it should be about 150m tops. Mind you, if you are going to do any more ground strafing, 500-700m would be advisable.

[@anobody7467]

I'd say the 20mils if you trust your accuracy

[@Guillermo90r]

Even though you have more MGs, they are only rifle caliber. They do not pack a punch, I think the previous option for your armament was better.

[@bradenwoods1111]

Are you using trackIr? Love the vids

[@Commando_history]

Rise of flight fokker dr1 campaign would be amazing taff.

[@poochie49]

I used to play IL-2 quite a few years ago. Now I am trying to play it again. I do have Steam. I purchased the Cliffs of Dover game . But I just can't get the game to launch. Since I see you playing can you advise me how to activate my game? Or let me know where or who can? Thanks

[@vielplaysdagames2298]

Please do a 109 or a 190 career

[@theshadowsovereign8914]

9:04 - Play at 0.75% Speed

[@marcl.1346]

I don't think that is your oil on the wind screen but rather the Stukas just floating off on you.

[@dylanram4653]

can someone send me best control files for thrustmaster warthog? no pedals

[@martinwillis9601]

Never fly straight in the combat zone for more than 30sec or your a dead duck. 😊

[@djpeterh]

Great vid. Love the editing of the action clips. Can I ask what controls you're using? And are you using a head tracker? I used to play this years ago and thinking about giving it another go. regards pete

[@northernlad52]

What campain is this as flying with the tempest ive never had to intercept any type of proper bombers only ME 109 with bombs lol

[@Tuulos]

I'd imagine it's the Battle for Moscow but don't quote me on that.

[@peterwilson444]

It’s the Stalingrad career

[@Rvoid]

IIRC, by the end of the war Germany prioritized fighter production over bombers. So in BoB that would be accurate experience.

[@foreverpinkf.7603]

Brilliant idea to use the BB-guns against bombers. You approach the Stukas from below, that´s good. To shoot, you climb above them, that´s bad. Why don´t you attack from the underside? How much is 9000 rubles in vodka?

[@mikhailiagacesa3406]

I think that's a few gallons of vodka; or 4 pounds of butter in Russia at that time.

[@odonovan]

Actually, the best way to attack a Stuka is from about his 2 or 10 o'clock position. Fly perpendicular to him and spray him as he flies by. Then, dive under him and circle around for another pass from the other side.

[@foreverpinkf.7603]

@@mikhailiagacesa3406 Thank you for the conversion.

[@foreverpinkf.7603]

@@odonovan Thx

[@williamarmstrong1050]

WTF you get so close for???

[@franktozier3184]

The .303's are like shooting spitballs. Stick with the heavier armament.
