IL-2 Great Battles | Hawker Tempest Mk V | (Battle of Bodenplatte)

[@flannelblindllama]

I’m loving this series. That was some precision shooting today. Wasted next to no ammo. Impressive.

[@Casual_Killroy]

Taff: We have Darth Vader on our side everyone! Me: So are we the baddies?

[@Dragonwingz70]

Graz on the VC, hard won. Enjoying the vids, more please.

[@kaboulscabal4816]

@Taff In Exile Could you number these episodes? I see you do for some, but not all of your vids, makes it hard sometimes to figure out where to start when you don't And keep up the good work and ... make this a series! Love the Tempest, great to see someone flying it.

[@sawyerawr5783]

I knw I'm late to the party, but one thing I love about this series is it really does illustrate how, at a glance, the Typhoon/Tempest and the FW-190 can look so similar. I see now why they painted the "invasion stripes" on the Tiffies starting in mid '42 (I think?)

[@daffyduck1974]

The last ‘kill’ was great he literally flew his plane into the ground trying to catch you. Determined folk the Germans lol

[@bobjoe4888]

Greetings from America! Always a nice midday/lunch break treat when you upload!

[@mandalorion]

Almost two weeks later and this Welshman is still mourning the loss of Thomas Thomas.

[@thyBeren]

Hoorey if you are living in Eindhoven ! Always nice to know that taff was flying above your, later to be, home. (The majority of buildings were completely flattened during WW2 in Eindhoven during market garden)

[@ronaldwatson1951]

Very Good mission, I had no idea were that 190 came from, yep your squadron took a beating. Great video

[@Mass_hole508]

Well done Sir Taff in exile VC! At least it wasn't posthumous. 😉

[@scottgarvey5779]

Nice work mate, gettin awarded the Victoria Cross is some feat. I wonder if your pilot will have the initials VC after his name now. If you go to your pilot sheet and go to the medals you've been awarded, you can click on the medals and it gives you a brief summary of what the medal was awarded for historically and how many personnel received it.

[@Adiq246]

I'm surprised You survived that crash landing with all that momentum. I was sure when right wing was ripped You've got to roll on the top and just die, but nothing like this happened and somehow pilot survived. For like half of that engagement it felt like You were alone there and casualties in that flight were astonishing when You think how bad things were for Luftwaffe at that time, heck, even that BF that was chasing at the end just crashed for literally no reason other than bad training. Very exciting video. Great Job and congratulations on getting VC but after the fighting You put there, achievement well deserved.

[@OutboundFlight87]

very nice shooting Taff

[@frogstamper]

04:57 Every pilots nightmare, being shot down and not being able to bail-out and being burned alive...nasty way to go.

[@thefunnyguyfromtheburgerki3334]

Yikes

[@Doomguy-777]

It should have been Trevor Jacobs in the cockpit.

[@rwd76]

I hope you are going to rename your channel 'Taff in Exile VC'.

[@karlbrock2178]

Loving this series.. awesome stuff Taff

[@NephilBlade]

No, not Daniel Jackson! Who will figure out the Stargate symbols now?

[@deadon4847]

He didn't die, he ascended

[@VikingTeddy]

Not to worry, the squadron has a sarcophagus.

[@comesahorseman]

👍👍 bit lucky there, chum! Tough fuselage on that bird....

[@tomsbasement4884]

9:07 ... In my head I heard the Anno 1800 announcer voice saying "A fire broke out in your city" Another nail-biter Taff, stay safe and healthy and hope to see another one next Friday!

[@collinrosenmarkle62]

Still loving this series, wow that one was exciting! Congrats on the VC. Good luck with the whiplash

[@Galantus1964]

The Hawker Tempest was the first modelplane i buildt / paintet it is a lovely plane

[@alexbraggyt]

Loving the Il2 series, as always keep it up!

[@craigcollings5568]

Great episode

[@NoFramesPerSecond3924]

17:50 a very neat manouver kill

[@jedituck]

Hi Taff, love most of your vids. My preference is for realistic war action/inaction SH5, Uboat (although not keen on edited streams), RoF, IL-2 B17, etc. excluding Atlantic Fleet. Also enjoyed Bomber Command and Hidden & Dangerous. Basically like your style, please carry on and don't panic. :)

[@stefansalo6571]

such intense mission great job :)

[@jameswilliams1085]

More Please!! Keep Safe Taff !! And all your viewers!!!

[@JDKempton]

Excellent video!

[@copee2960]

Found myself screaming get out of there Taff................but a frigging VC, not a bad days work and home for tea and crumpets, Pip Pip!

[@johngulyas4334]

At ~17:55, did one of The pursuing Germans lose control & crash?

[@vipertwenty249]

It did look like it. The Germans were running out of experienced pilots by this point in the war so the game might reflect that - some experienced but also some very novice.

[@marcl.1346]

So funny to see you fly from Volkel as I've been there for a fly show. PS: There I learned that Luxemburg has an air force PPS: Ironically the Luxemburgians had the biggest plane attending :-P

[@arthurcrego8297]

Wow, a VC and the DFM, pretty soon Sir Taff. maybe even a KB in the future loved the video good job.

[@kaboulscabal4816]

~12:00 had to be a bad way to go, trapped inside your plane as it slowly spun down out of control. The seconds must have seemed like hours ...

[@neallatham3745]

It'll buff out

[@hubertk9051]

nice medals

[@Droodog127]

the VC on my birthday October 2nd!!

[@grandloser28]

Yes i think you should do a campaign. This is great content for your chanel

[@missinglink6676]

Good skills in flight but a few missed early kill opportunities. I feel that sometimes you hesitate when an opportunity presents itself. At 13:15 there was plenty of time to get a few good hits. Sorry, but still love your game plays, Itry to catch them all.👍

[@jamesalex8891]

Make more the mighty 8th video.....BUT this time fly the p51 or the bf109g Btw I have been watching you for 3 years and I love yours vids❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰

[@vipertwenty249]

Taff - not sure about this but the extra 11lb engine boost might well be for high altitude combat - it may give you no performance advantage at low level and could even be detrimental if it is what I think it is - may be worth checking.

[@jcjammer8972]

The V bloody C?? Crikey!

[@stephenbrown321]

Does the green smoke on the 2nd kill mean anything?

[@thebollock9427]

Glycol coolant leak?

[@stephenbrown321]

Wow yeah could well be. Rather impressed that they modelled it in the game.

[@thebollock9427]

Me too

[@colindouglas7769]

I think white smoke is a hit in the radiator (coolant0 and green is a hit in the fuel system (leaking fuel), Stephen.

[@juggernut1862]

Wait I thought the Sabre IIa could only have a maximum of 9lbs of boost

[@foreverpinkf.7603]

More luck than brains.

[@nonames000]

i wish these weren't so overpriced
