The 152 Menace // IL-2

It's a fun plane ;)

[@Tommy544]

The 152 really has that killing machine look. You don't want to see it in your mirror. Great reversals, as always! 👍

Hopefully all this headtracking builds me a muscular neck u got one?

[@biggieb8900]

This is by far the most defensive flying I've ever seen you post, very well done i love that shit

[@_Winterz]

Flawless flying as usual Krup. The Ta-152 looks so cool, like a ( very ) mean glider, I wish they modeled wing flex tho

Deploying landing gear... the power move of the clueless.

[@Krupnski]

he is not a bad player

[@biggieb8900]

In the rolling scissors to the deck, it's actually a really smart move, although the spitfire hates being negative AOA so you have to be careful with that obviously with the extra nose weight. He obviously flies well, but my main criticism was that he was insanely impatient trying to get the kill and could have easily used his energy to his advantage using lag pursuit and there is absolutely nothing anybody could do to stop the inevitable kill

[@PatriotDm]

Hi! You're a great shot!!! Please tell me, the model of the joystick, the model of the engine control knob, the model of the pedals? Do you have a joystick on the floor with a long handle? Or on the table?

[@Krupnski]

I use virpil joystick/throttle/pedals on a desk it's nothing too crazy

Bom dia Krupinski. Você ainda joga IL-2? Comecei agora e estou procurando um esquadrão para jogar.

[@Krupnski]

I fly sometimes, but I am mostly a solo player. Combat Box discord server has many squads you could contact.

[@seagram527]

Cool!-)

[@biggieb8900]

Does the tempest actually tip stall now? At 12:50 it looks like he did, which is hard to do unless they changed FM since i played

[@Krupnski]

at low speed yes it can

[@PabloSniper]

When will the video with the P-47 come out? You fly very well with that flying bathtub. Despite having proposed combat only near his base.

[@iflycentral]

Wow. That Spit using it's gear to try and aero break was interesting. Don't think I've ever seen anyone trying that before.

[@thomaszhang3101]

Hey, how does the Ta-152 feel compared to Dora and Kurfürst?

[@iflycentral]

@@thomaszhang3101 I haven't flown it. Haven't purchased it as of yet.

[@biggieb8900]

This is in no way an attempt to take away from Krups goat status but the truth is that there are a lot of pilots that make a fatal mistake within 5 seconds of the merge. I'm really grateful these pilots exist because then we can have amazing moments like some of these though. In a lot of these clips, he is at a bad disadvantage and is just flying the aircraft outside of their gun sights long enough for them to make a bad mistake like tip stalling or pulling greedy shots which result in an overshoot. Patience is a virtue and calm is a superpower.

[@hummerltheOh]

5 seconds until a fatal mistake? I can easily beat that and make a fatal mistake even quicker!

[@Krupnski]

It is fun flying from a disadvantage, even purposely putting myself there sometimes xD

[@hummerltheOh]

I'd love to have the skills necessary to put myself out of a tricky situation xD Usually I unknowingly put myself in those bad situations -.-

[@stevebudspwnzone]

Sick video dude! I'm the spit IX you fight from 4:07 - 6:57 I remember those fights thinking "WTF why is the TA so good at being slow?!?!?" Good fights for sure my man! Let me know if you ever want my POV for another vid since I'm also always recording 😎

[@biggieb8900]

Appreciate you being a good sport about getting shot down, if only everyone was like that... You totally had him too, if you stayed patient in lag pursuit...hindsight tho

[@TBrownProductions]

is dropping the gear effective in the spit? I havnet played a while but I'm always worried of getting that slow, but maybe with fewer players in the skies its not of a concern with getting shot up by a wingman?

[@HernanMoragaMmHs]

@@TBrownProductions ``...getting shot up by a wingman... `` that didn`t seem to be a problim in this clip.

[@JG27Korny]

The biggest mistake the allied planes make is that krups forces scissors with changing vertical component. The moment the average vector goes downwards the allied planes accelerate, while krups is with flaps. Then he switches up for even better deceleration. Then they panic and they keep pushing for 1 circle (nose to nose) while they are at disadvantage being faster. A simple defense is to refuse the one circle and keep turning trying to force two circle. If the speed is too high a climbing turn is possible. If a slower ennemy tries to follow he setups himself for an easy drag and bag kill by someone arround, so a smart pilot would try for a few seconds to follow but not longer. For real people should understand that when you are faster going nose to nose is the stupidest thing you can make. And it is repeaded over and over again, the same mistake over and over again.

[@SheriffsSimShack]

[@TeufelHunden55]

so does a 152 out turn a tempest or was that pilot just using too much rudder looked like his nose was always pointing a little too high in that circle jerk. I just bought the 152 but only really flown it in berloga don't know much about it other than reading the notes ingame.

[@Krupnski]

It depends, I think most times a tempest should win if he is smart, but the 152 still turns great and does hold energy a lot better. Tempest gets an update soon so likely it won't be as maneuverable as it is now, maybe giving 152 the definitive edge in maneuverability at that point.

why do you use rudder with roll?

[@Siddich]

why did you reverse in front of the enemy?

[@Krupnski]

sometimes it's the best or even only option to gain angles for a full reversal

[@bezimienny_andzej6425]

Great flying, great shooting. And a beautiful plane. Too bad it smokes like a badly maintained diesel for whatever reason.

[@J0hn-MiCHaeL]

Great choice of music and I love the dogfights!

[@digitalmdrealmd9124]

The allies are very lucky the germans were so short sighted and didnt feel the sense of urgency to develop the fw190 and this plane much earlier in the war when they had material and especially pilots available. The Ta-152 was clearly an outstanding machine and in the large numbers and in the hands of experienced pilots, would have been more than a match for anything the allies had (probably superior) and would have terrorized the strategic bombing campaign. Before that, if they had the fw190 ready in 1940, the battle of britain would have had a very different outcome.

[@parab225]

Damn, formation flying still kills, you hate to see it.

[@PanZerm4n]

This actually makes me want to play IL2 again. Is the 152 especially good at slow speeds? Sick vid man. Thanks

[@Krupnski]

yes it's quite good in maneuvers and thankfully not in a "broken" way

[@ignotumperignotius630]

The flak at the beginning is insane

[@philippbehrend5559]

you have the fastest plane, but desperately bleed off speed with your flaps?

[@Krupnski]

152 is not faster than allies at low altitude, and what fun is running away?

[@thomaszhang3101]

How does it feel compared to a Dora or Kurfürst?

[@Krupnski]

it's more maneuverable but slower (where it matters below 8km)

[@thomaszhang3101]

@@Krupnski does it have any other good qualities beside maneuverability? It seems to dive worse and climb worse

[@Krupnski]

@@thomaszhang3101 Not really, the main benefit is maneuverability, but it depends what your style is/how you enjoy flying. For me personally the 152 is better because I enjoy aggressive and defensive flying as you can see. D9/K4 are better if you wish to fly a bit more "safe".

@@Krupnski got it, so Ta-152 is the perfect “dogfighter”, like the “Zero”
