Slaughter Above the Stalingrad Steppes | BF-109 F4 | IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battles 1440p

August 1st, 1942 | In the heat of the German "Case Blue" summer offensive of 1942, pilots of the II Jg. 52 take to the skies above the Stalingrad steppes. We're flying the Bf-109 F4, providing fighter superoirity above the front lines.
I'm playing Il-2 Sturmovik: Great Battles on PC. This is the Battle of Stalingrad base game.

This one took a lot of time, but I tried new things and I like how it turned out

[@Gaboon777]

The friedrich is my favorite fighter in Il-2. Great video! Well done.

[@pipipupu4359]

awesome and cinematic, music gave chills good job

[@vincentmcmullen9376]

I rarely use gun pods, just too much drag, plus I only open fire with the nose 20 when I smell the vodka.

Very nice 👍

[@MrNaKillshots]

Unusually entertaining.

Early single seater IL-2s, no gunner aft.

[@ThunderBatGames]

The early Il-2 doesn't have a tail gunner. Is that onle the 1941, or also the 1942?

[@Boslandschap1]

@@ThunderBatGames only the 1941

[@ronaldwatson1951]

Great mission and plenty of action, it's questionable that you received no damage? Although you're good, you just sat behind some targets without a scratch? I'm not Axis fan, but good video

[@ThunderBatGames]

With AI it kinda depends on the level. It's also easy to kill the gunners, so as long as you go in and hit the tailgunners, I feel really comfortable just sitting right behind AI. I watched back the tracks and the two fighter flights were occupied with another AI Bf-109 flight, which is why the attack aircraft got slaughtered and just kinda floundered while still trying to ground attack. I kept losing sight of my targets while paranoid, certain that 10 migs were about to jump me like they always do in PWCG

@@ThunderBatGames appreciate your response, there's No doubt you have put in the stick time. Hopefully within a year I'll be as proficient as you. "Maybe"

​@@ronaldwatson1951 If it's anything other than a friedrich or a mustang, i spend more time location gauges than flying

​@bigwhite21Thanks a lot, dearest friend, for letting us know that those who are not Axis fans, are not perfect ... one could rightly suppose that, going by this meritorious logic, the Axis and their fans (yours truly truly included) are "perfekt"! Thanks again for making our day! 🙏🙏🙏😊☺🥰🥰👍👍💪🏻💪🏻🙌🙌👌👌

[@einhoernchen]

Why two paint schemes on one aircraft? Otherwise great video.

[@ThunderBatGames]

If you're asking why the Bf-109 flight has different skins, PWCG sets the skins for the aces, and I set a skin for my aircraft to make it obvious when I cut to an ally

[@dp2702]

Are you not able to delete the original codes from the loadout page? I can in PWCG when using an alternate skin.@@ThunderBatGames
