IL-2 Great Battles | Heinkel HE-111 | Stalingrad Railyard Attack

[@Jesperknug]

'We are heading in to whats looks to be a hotspot' *reads map* - Stalingrad

[@captainloggy140]

You won't have much fun hiking in Stalingrad!

[@TitaniumEye]

Bombing in WW2 was like shooting with early muskets. Tight formation, lots of arms, big targets, as close as practical.

[@Jbroker404]

Good analogy!

[@timonsolus]

Unless you're in an American bomber with a Norden bombsight. Far better than the relatively primitive Adler bombsight on the He 111.

[@ambientlightofdarknesss4245]

I wouldn't say they had "big" targets. When your thousands of feet up in the air even an entire factory can be hard to hit.

[@simoniron8416]

Intresting comparision, considering they dropped atomic bombs from high altitude.

[@rikkilleen3169]

Frankly, if I can just get my bombs to hit the ground I consider it an improvement of prior performance. 😳

[@stuartvickers982]

TAAAFFFF!!, you need ALL THE BOMBS. you only do big bombs on armored targets

[@jamieevans4475]

It’s like watching a movie, keep up the great videos 👍🏻

[@Droodog127]

you destroyed 2 bogs and a bicycle

[@ryansta]

Ha Ha I had it as a Chicken coup, 2 outhouses and a lend lease Ford truck with a fk'd engine, but see you got here first with same thought. 😂👍

[@peterwilson444]

I’m glad seasoned pilots also have issues with take offs at times. Makes me feel much better about my abilities 😂

[@fleuger99]

BF110's were totally ineffective in combat against single engine fighters as they were just not as maneuverable. Great vid, thanks for sharing.

[@ac4694]

They had speed. Early versions were faster than bf 109. This plane was not supposed to dogfight. That was awesome, long range attack plane, but terrible escort.

[@15Indianajon]

Brilliant video! I love the change in pace from the normal flight sim vids about. Hope you are suitably proud of that landing, pretty much a three pointer, although the less said about the take off the better! Can't wait to see what comes next and its nice to see you end a flight without heading to see the nurses :-)

[@justsomerandomostrich1906]

Been waiting for bomber campaign ever since I saw your first dry run. That was a good bomb drop. Well done

[@scottgarvey5779]

Grats mate, it takes a lot of guts to film something as you learn, I salute you :)

[@careyamos485]

First Aussie here ay

[@turtle2720]

A bit too much schnapps for a proper take off, Taff ;)

[@janmale7767]

Why would a 110 tangle with a Pe-2 if he is supposed to try to protect the 111's against rather formidable Lavochkins!? Good show none the less!

[@MrChildebert]

Awesome video once again, thank you !

[@charlesball9522]

8:11 I know this is really late, but when you counted off for the wind angle you skipped over the mark under the 'N' so you were off by 10 degrees.

[@arthurcrego8297]

Great mission and storyline. I like this os much I wish it was daily.. Great work Taff

[@VikingTeddy]

Nice editing. That furball was a delight to watch.

[@zxbzxbzxb1]

Congrats on a successful mission! You must have worked out all the waywardness with the takeoff :)

[@Lowkeh]

I see the practice of Tokyo Drifting into port in U-BOAT has served you well during this take-off!

[@olivergarcia2304]

Cool music Taff! Very fitting with the air battle. :-)

[@mikemontgomery2654]

One hell of a field landing, Taff!

[@colindouglas7769]

Woweee, that was a bit of a hairy take-off, Taff! I think you dropped a smidge early, but at least you got bombs on the target area. Bomb loadout: I think you'd be better with a bomb-bay full of 50kg HE bombs rather than that big 500kg and 4x250kgs. Back at base, the landing was an excellent flared landing, but off the runway. Your groundcrew would probably appreciate it if they didn't have to clean grass seeds out of your air intakes. However, this is another improvement on your previous missions, so if you follow this trend, the next mission should be a smash hit. By the way, to pronounce the word "kampfgeschwader": the first syllable "kampf" is straight forward. In the second syllable, the "sch" is pronounced "shh". The "w" is pronounced as a "v" in German. Incidenatally, "kampfgeschwader" is the German word for "bomber squadron"; a fighter squadron in German is "jagdgeschwader".

[@arnoboers8278]

Perhaps to much beers before take off, furthermore more episodes faster please, i realy enjoy them.

[@mikhailiagacesa3406]

Schnappes for the 110 pilots; going up against La-5's!

[@russellesimonetta3835]

You're in for it today!!

[@stephenmiller195]

Brilliant Taff

[@alfonsobarrado2902]

that is a good encirclement the ground forces are doing

[@RemusKingOfRome]

Great video, He111 so cool.

[@JDKempton]

Showing off at take off with driving skills

[@thegamingscotsman4018]

How are u using the gunner gun please tell me the key bind

[@TaffinExile]

So left control + c to switch positions, in a gunner position, T to take control of the gun and left shift + T to look through the sight. All in your controls menu 👍

[@thegamingscotsman4018]

Thanks Taff!

[@conmcgrath7502]

Loving it! The take-off was hilarious but what is this fixation with mowing the grass? I've had to speak with you about 'amateur tree surgery' before, now you can't even leave the daisy's alone? Or do you just hate the ground crew, who will even now be working to clear the air intakes and undercarriage of the local flora? By the way, firing a departing machine gun burst at the train; that's just plain mean! It's almost as though you are trying to hurt these people. Pax dude.

[@goalski134]

that landing was sublime. i bounce all over the place. 😂

[@filipsmetko8013]

Great vid keep it up!!

[@littlejimmy8744]

Congrats on the kills its about time.

[@eamon945]

Loved the tandem takeoff...even if it was unintentional...

[@eamon945]

And a lovely 3 point landing....nice one 👌

[@JohnCarlyle]

Superb sim, once played in VR it can't be played any other way

[@chrisdoucette7299]

Have you finished a career? Just wonderng because I'm in the processs of playing one at the moment.

[@jamesrussell7760]

That was an interesting takeoff Taff, but no bother, job done. I noticed that as a rookie you are a bit leery of close formation flying. That's understandable, but since you drop your bombs with flight lead, a bit tighter formation will improve your bombs on target, improving your score. Besides, a tighter formation will concentrate your defensive fire against attacking enemy fighters. If I was your squadron CO, I would assign you some more practice formation flying with one of your buddy ACs. Another thing, Taff, wandering around your aircraft to the gun positions is interesting, but your job is to fly the bloody plane!

[@antongrahn1499]

It sure makes the video more interesting. I assume the plane is under auto-pilot as well.

[@Altair1243WAR]

TBH, I'd rather he focus a bit more on flying. Not much point to the mission if the bombs keep missing ;) I am enjoying the campaign though

[@NephilBlade]

The onetens did the best they could; provide the enemy with other targets to shoot at.

[@kenc9236]

You take off like I do. Yee Haa!

[@KorbinX]

One last minute change to your airspeed (was 325) might have scored a direct hit. Good job tho! Cheers

[@yoosta22]

Taff, are you hitting drop button on leads command or is autopilot doing it???

[@mikhailiagacesa3406]

PS - the music was appropriate for the scene

[@theidahotraveler]

i have to say i love you taff but why not put the other 20mm on its not really going to change anything just that if they score a hit it may take a wing off. please just tell me why you wouldnt?

[@MouldedSalad]

*#TaffTheProDrifter* 😃

[@jvgrunt7898]

Nice campaign

[@lightunicorn1371]

First good to see a vid by you I didn't think I'd like this campaign so much

[@Z3eRoWT]

EPIC

[@TheRaptorXX]

I see a bit of aliasing, especially on takeoff on the background. Have you noticed this since the latest Patch? Just interested because I've noticed the same thing...

[@JordanPercivalJP]

What kind of set up is used to play this game? A joystick?

[@antongrahn1499]

A stick is usually used. Though in this case some might use a yoke to emulate the 111s controls.

[@kimbonzky]

Will Joseph ''trifft nicht'' Meier hit anything today?

[@kimbonzky]

Also, its pronounced Kampf-ge-shvader

[@Kobrag90]

ove you Taff

[@foreverpinkf.7603]

Let the 500 kg bomb home and you will take off more easy. Who will protect your protectors? Congratulations to your first hit.

[@robinraphael]

wow night mission was a lost and so was this the trian is 100% intact ouch man and this is what you do hopefully not for a living lmao

[@PrivatePAuLa29a]

pronounciation of Kampfgeschwader wasn't too bad, realy. as a little help: the german "sch" is pronounced the same as the english "sh".

[@TheAcoustically]

I used to play IL2 on Hyper lobby. Its A MUCH better game than war thunder.... is this community still active ?

[@odonovan]

That's the OLD version of IL-2, "1946." What Taff is playing is the "Great Battles" series. Hyperlobby is still active, although there aren't that many who play there. The other night I checked and there were 16 players. hyperfighter.sk/

[@TheAcoustically]

@@odonovan I miss weekend bombing games with 30 + players !!

[@grandloser28]

Congrats, and STOP BUTCHERING OUR LANGUAGE;)

[@bentilbury2002]

Nine 😜
