A U-boat causing trouble in the English Channel in October 1944, that’s a suicidal U-boat captain if I’ve ever seen one.

Great fun to watch, sure that second UBoat got some bruises from that. That periscope and the whole con tower might have been in the wrong spot at the wrong time, don't think they'll do much hunting anymore. And great aim on the first one.

Welcome back to IL-2 taff, this was a truly fantastic special treat, it reminded me of your Mosquito campaign you covered so that was wonderful in it's own right. Great job in hurting the enemy U-boat fleet, those we're the early war variants weren't they? Interesting to see those in operation, unless they were being used for coastal raids or training, it's great to see you back in IL-2 - really is. If your enjoying playing around with the bombers might I recommend the campaigns you get with the Junkers 88, Junkers 87s or even the allied bombers, I've had a lot of fun with the B26 Maurader and even the A20 Havocs, well worth playing with if your interested. Thanks for the great special, loved it, stay safe and happy gaming mate 👏👍

Rocket tips: the 4.5 inch rockets were designed to fly a ballistically stable course under water. Attacking ships or submarines, approach from the beam, and launch your rockets to hit the water just short of the target. The rockets will penetrate the hull below the waterline, causing fatal damage. Use your .303s for ranging.
@StuartKoehlКүн бұрын
Also, ripple fire all eight in one go. Maximizes hit probability, minimizes risk from return fire.
@geordiedog1749Күн бұрын

A 20mm pop gun is hardly worthy of the term "Naval Gun"! And yes, Taff, those were little Type II u-boats! Also ever so slightly obsolete for October 1944. By that point in the war, they were strictly used as training subs in the Baltic Sea: definitely not suitable for use in front-line operational environments.

Bombing hits: Approach from astern in shallow dive, release all bombs in one salvo to straddle the target. The underwater explosions will break the back of the submarine, rupture the ballast tanks, and shatter the battery banks.

Two (count 'em) TWO U-Boats surfaced IN DAYLIGHT in the ENGLISH CHANNEL in 1944! Probably the least likely scenario I've ever seen from the IL-2 game developers. BTW, by this time in the war, these light, coastal types of U-Boat were strictly training vessels and rarely seen outside the Baltic.

Rockets would ‘swim’ under water and were fired to hit just in front of the target as they would carry on through the water on a flat trajectory and punch right through the u boat hull

When you noted how tricky the Mossie is to fly I heard the Fat Electrician in my head, "Since this is basically a paper airplane with a V8 attached." Also, are there no depth charges in IL2? Standard load out for sub hunting is depth charges set for shallow depth. Even if they don't hit they still go off and damage the sub. Thanks for the vid. The Mosquito is my favourite WWII aircraft and I love watching it in action.

Out of curiosity, why didn't those bombs detonate? Is that a game mechanic with a chance of failure? The drop was pretty close and should have caused concussion damage.

Anyone know if there is a minimum drop altitude modeled in game?
@cyberfutur50002 күн бұрын
Somewhat. Not sure about the details of it and how realistic it's modelled, but as I understand it, there is a certain time before the bombs arm. You can set a fuse for a delayed detonation, I usually have it on 4 or 5 sec, that takes care of the problem. But I beliefe there could also be something else at play, since sometimes bombs still don't explode when dropped from too low, but maybe the game just has duds... don't know... (same in il2- 1946, maybe even more so)
@edwardjohansson29092 күн бұрын
Yes, if the bombs dont have enough time in the air (don't know if velocity plays into it) they won't explode which is probably what happened to the bombs here
