Interesting fact for you, Taff! No.3 Squadron were the second RAF squadron to be equipped with the Tempest Mk V in March 1944. The first were the New Zealanders of No. 486 Squadron based at RAF Tangmere in January 1944. In both cases, they replaced the Typhoon Mk I, which had certain performance issues at higher altitudes compared to the enemy. These issues were addressed by adopted a thinner laminar airflow wing and the new design was intended to be called the Typhoon Mk II, but they decided ultimately to call it the Tempest because considerable divergence from the original design. The Tempest went on to become one of the most powerful fighters of WW2 and was the fastest single-engine propeller-driven aircraft of the war at low altitude.

At the beginning of the mission, what is the reason for you selecting no ammunition instead of the 600 rounds? Does it change the ammunition type or something?

How hard is it to play il2 with just keyboard and mouse?

[@williambrandl7483]

Pretty difficult. You'll need to invest in some kind of joystick to enjoy the game in my opinion.

[@Tuulos]

Pretty easy actually, it has decent mouse control mode. I mainly fly with mouse and keyboard nowadays.

[@collinrosenmarkle62]

It's fairly decent actually. Play it all the time with mouse and keyboard, though I do prefer a HOTAS

Nobody else is going to question where the Germans got American Fords?

[@demanischaffer]

Ford had factories in Europe and in Germany itself, when Germany declared war on the USA they took the factories

[@darriusdias]

16:08 - your pronunciation is a bit off mate. I believe it goes: "DAKA DAKA DAKA DAKA!" Also, why are the Germans driving Fords? 😂

[@thebollock9427]

Hitler and Henry Ford were close weren't they? Didn't Ford have a truck factory in Germany and supplied Germany with trucks before the US entered the war?

[@deadon4847]

@@thebollock9427 Hitler admired Henry Ford. Before the U.S. entered the war Ford , General Motors and Chrysler had factories in Germany that the nazi's took over
