IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battles - "I'm Sorry, That I Knew You!"

Bismarck, Sturmling, Bear, and Myself finally found a day to schedule some long overdue IL-2 fly outs. I wish I could give an after-action report but nobody made it back.

"The right eleron removed himself from the plane. Something I should have done a long time ago" - Sturmling strikes again! xD

[@botimegaming]

I sadly could not record the normal third-person footage that I normally mix into the edit due to a game update. I know that takes quite a bit away from the production of these videos... but I couldn't get myself to not go ahead and publish this in first person. It was just too funny.

[@ducky_y_]

Still A Nice Quality Vid Like Always From You :P

[@matthewhemedes9812]

DuckY i agree. Unfortunately these non-war thunder videos dont get enough attention due to the relatively slow pace action.

[@Omniknightish]

I don't mind the lack of third-person footage. I'm glad to see more IL-2 you haven't posted a video on it in a while.

[@MrZnarffy]

Love these IL-2 videos as always.. Listening to your "excellent" communication skills between each other is sooo funny. :D

[@ericratata6395]

Really good video and it's always nice to hear Sturmling and Bismarck in one of your videos :)

[@TJ_GAming001]

I've been looking forward to this ever since Bo mentioned he'd played it during a stream. Still wish that Bismarck had sung a song

I am just happy he is starting to feel well enough to do this again.

Nah, its just Russian flame thrower designed to make the enemy think they shot the aircraft down.

"Looks like the damage was confined to mostly me". Love how Sturmling can be so calm in that kind of a damage assessment. More great IL2 content guys and good to see Bismark up and flying again.

These IL-2 videos with Bismarck are what first brought me to this channel (as well as his Military Aviation History channel), and this channel is what got me playing War Thunder.

I just recently came across your IL2 videos through a mission you had with ze Sheriff. Your humour literally makes me LOL, just what’s needed in COVID times. And you & Bismarck bicker like an old married couple. Keep it up “Lonestar”. 🤙

[@scorpion1429]

Omg I just realized Bismark is Bismark from Military Aviation History and I love both of these channels.

[@KurustheGreat]

I always appreciate these IL-2 videos for, mostly, 2 main reasons: It shows off how good of a (simulated) pilot Bo and Bis are *and* the banter between everybody is good-humored trolling.

you should play this more often. i really enjoy it

[@ardrek_]

Never played this but it looks superb, albeit with a brutal learning curve. Great team work too.......

[@hunormagyar1843]

One of the best if not THE best flight simulator(s). Definitely the best WW2 one. Like, War Thunder is a nice game, the closest thing to this you can get for free. But this is a simulator. It's way more realistic. And of course, the aircraft is flown by you here, not by a virtual instructor who you can tell where to go. lol

[@jacobakana5649]

I haven’t heard Bismarck insult an American in a long time

[@evanbondonno5209]

i have to say that i enjoy every video and game that Bo and Co. play... but IL-2 vids are my FAVORITE!!!
