This is all very well and good, but I wish your wingman would have clarified whether or not the target was destroyed by Rabbit 3

[@Kennyuk77]

The uncertainty surrounding this issue did spoil the video for me :-(

[@someoneunknown1385]

Legend says that Rabbit 3 still confirms the target destroyed

[@andrewmontgomery5621]

Merry Christmas, Taff!

[@thomashiggins9320]

Nicely done on the rocket runs. Mission successful; everybody died. :) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, to Taff and everyone!

[@foreverpinkf.7603]

Sometimes you loose, sometime the others win. Happy Christmas, Taff.

[@3n1gma]

Rabbit 3, target destroyed. Nice beat 🤙 Merry Christmas!

[@donleaman2018]

A valiant effort. Not much you could do with a WHOLE WING on your tail! Merry Christmas Taff!

[@jamesrussell7760]

Bloody Hell! A whole squadron of Bf-109's were on your tail!

[@Ayns.L14A]

Merry Christmas Taff all the best to your family.

[@sovietsniper6669]

I love this narrative, almost reminiscent highlights approach to IL-2. Gives your videos a refreshing shift away from most IL-2 content with its long form, simulator style videos. Those have their place, but I really enjoy this too.

[@omega_profile1]

Thank you Taff! That is some proper train destruction.

[@arthurcrego8297]

Merry Christmas and a Joyous properous New Year Taff.

[@flyingcod14]

Great video. Love the Tiffy.

[@gvii]

I'm not sure trading an entire squadron of aircraft and it's pilots for most of a train is what I would call a success, but hey, it made for a good video. Lol.

Happy Christmas Taff, many thanks for all the great entertainment throughout the year. Looking forward to the next one. Pax dude.

[@SauronEye]

Taff as a rule of thumb, when attacking a German train always assume that it has AA cars.

[@Joe0161]

Rabbit 3, target destroyed

[@rabidbadger5260]

You got hit solidly there

[@silentbob8635]

Im just here for the sick new track by rabbit 3.

[@harutogames9204]

i think maybe the P51s ended up being dived on without seeing the 109s with all that cover and were subsequently slaughtered

[@jwrockets]

I like trains.

[@dgratale]

Merry Xmas.

[@skidzholeshot1316]

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR .

[@daffyduck1974]

The Typhoon is a boom & zoomer. After firing off your rockets you coulda hid above the cloud & dived down on the Bosh.

I bought il2 battle of Stalingrad on steam and battle of bodenplatte on steam. If I bought battle of Normandy on il2 website does it work with steam? Il2 battle of Normandy isn’t on steam yet.

[@chrissouthey8430]

Do you think rabbit 3 may have destroyed something? lol

[@HarryandNeela]

I always enjoy these. I’m trying to get into IL2 but am finding it incredibly difficult. Have you ever shared your game and control settings? Have a great Christmas.

[@richardbuchs3815]

Question; Why are you attacking sibe on, instead of from front or back of train?? Which would give you much longer attack time, but also better chance of actually hitting it?? Sorry but after playing IL2 from Demo to now, IMHO, just doesn't compute.. love your various games videos you post..

[@BaconSarnie1701]

@@skidzholeshot1316 I made a mission on it squadron took off, ignored all the way points, ended up at the target anyway but didn't drip a bomb, engage any targets etc And the train we were supposed to attack wasn't even there, nor were the train lines lol

[@Tuulos]

Sounds like Rabbit 3 dropped a secret British nuke straight in the middle of an enemy army group and Rabbit 4 finished the rest.

[@odonovan]

1:27 - The MOON? It's 0830 hrs. The SUN should be up by then. Even if it's overcast, it should be lighter than the screen shows. I've seen some videos of night missions where the players could obviously see what they were doing, but the video showed nothing but a black screen. Methinks you might want to boost the brightness on the video before posting it, Taff.

[@TaffinExile]

Yeah often you’ll find youtube processing makes the video darker than the original recording

Merry Christmas! I wonder if google algorithms will not remove my post for reminding us what holiday we are celebrating? And I wish you many great movies and many fans who enjoy watching them. I belong to this group myself. Stay warm and healthy!

Rab bit 4 target destroyed

[@dexterfitben]

"Rabbit 3 - Target Destroyed"...new merch slogan right there. Copywriting gold. Over.

[@wartsnall7332]

Nothing wrong with your video making, but there is something seriously flawed with the AI scripting. The idea that you would have found yourself outnumbered at this stage in the war is farcical. Forget "Three Blind Mice", this was three bind wingmen, four blind Mustang pilots, and useless ground to air control.

[@Cory-b8k]

Man the typhoon is a beautiful fighter I'm a big WW2 guy that war stories can keep going on it's a big story in a lieutenant in the fire service and a lieutenant in urban search and rescue and dick winters from 101st airborne is who I model my leadership after I always tell my men to stay in my ass and follow me up dick winters is a damn good roll model especially for any officer in my career
