Impossible not to agree, I think it has the most photorealistic look on all sims! =D

@@JorgeHFJ I agree with you, I like DCS a lot too, I think the cockipts are very realistic too

@ We are writing about simulators, not arcade games.

@ IL 2 Great Battles is a VERY HARDCORE simulator yes. on realistic mode it's just HELL

Thank you, mate! I'm glad you enjoy it as much as I do. IL-2 is one of my favorite sims.... It was love at first sight, since 2017. =D

Did you... Just post the same thing on growling something...

Ye need to go sideways to be able to go a dive

Thank you!! =D

Thank you very much!! Regarding the codes, I wasn't paying attention to that while building the mission... I'm trying to do some research before making new ones. And, about the mirrors, I remove them from the cockpit view to improving fps stability (computing the reflections is kind of expensive) and the external model doesn't change accordingly. But, wow!! I thought I was the only one that notice that! Nice!! =D Thanks again for commenting! Best regards!

I’ve not played this game in over a decade on the old IL2 platform. I stopped when my late wife swapped over an extension lead to my computer for one without a surge protector. No that’s not the reason she’s my late wife. Iam 60 now and eyes probably not up to it anymore although I did keep the joystick, throttle combo and track IR set up . I remember my greatest moment, I was on an online server flying over the Normandy coastline in FW190 when I spotted 4 P47s flying parallel to the coast in a Line to Port formation ( not sure if that correct phrasing) they were extended from the leader to the left slightly behind one another. I thought that’s a bit risky in the combat area so I rolled over and dove to the attack from above and behind passing along the line of four cannons blazing, I climbed after my attack and rolled over to look down at all four P47s going down in flames. I was elated lol then the cry’s went up MAC 60 ( me) is a vulture, a cheat and all sorts of other condescending remarks from my four victims. I didn’t care as I was feeling pretty pleased with myself and felt that my tactics had been spot on. My very first online kill was while flying a Corsair. I shot down a Zero in an other boom and zoom attack. He never knew i was there and just came apart on my first pass. It is a wonderful game although there were always the poor sports who would vanish off the server if you had the advantage and it looked like they wouldnt make it so robbing you of a kill 😂😂😂

It’s like shooting rats in a barrel.....

BF-110s were the escort wym?

I spend a lot of time watching these videos they are fantastic. But why did our designers and planners send our lads out agains such superior fire power for so long. Pea shooters v cannons? The hitting power of a 20 mm cannon is about five times that of a 303? We seamed to know what the opposition had but stuck with the pea shooters. Whatcha the videos you see how long it took a plane with 303s to take aplane down then see a plane with 20mm cannons. One second burst and the receiving plane disintegrated? No wonder we lost so many boys?

Thank you, mate!! o7

Thank you, mate!! =D

Thank you very much! o7

Thank you!! That is a really good idea! This way, the bombers cant concentrate their firepower... Regarding showing the belly, I did it on the video Hehehe... Ops!

@@JorgeHFJ yeah, my friend! I suggest to read the real life of a RAF hero...[Brickhill, Paul. Reach for the Sky: The Story of Douglas Bader DSO, DFC. London: Odhams Press Ltd., 1954]....belly is the weakest area in your Spit

@OrMa Thank you for the reading suggestion! I'll try to find it... Right now, I have this one on my reading pile: Holland, James. Dam Busters - The race to smash the dams 1943.

@@JorgeHFJ 🙋

I’ve flown the P-51D (TF-51D) “Crazy Horse” and it is INCREDIBLY loud. I doubt you’d hear the machine guns, or anything else, over the row the Merlin engine makes. The Merlin only sounds cool if you are watching it fly past from the ground.

Bo Nidle it sounds cool in the cockpit too. Just a different type. It’s so loud in there you can’t even hear what’s being said over the intercom most times😂 I love those WWII birds. So much power. You don’t get the Merlin “sound” like you would on the ground, but you do get a roar that just makes you know you’re flying one powerful bird.

Thank you! I do prefer some things on cliffs as well. But both are amazing, worth playing for sure.

I personally last played in IL2 1946. When I heard about the development of this version - I wanted to play, but somehow it did not work out. I was attracted to the atmosphere of the battle for Britain. As a child, I had a Spitfayer model with Soviet identification marks and since then I have sunk into these aircraft. I need not be too lazy and install this game and play. p.s. I apologize for the Google translation.

Thx mate!

Thx mate! o7

Yeah, the amount of different aircraft they have at 46 is huge!! There are some mods that make it much better, but it is still an outdated engine.... =/

@@JorgeHFJ Yeah agreed. I just installed VP Modpack and damn, this is a very cool looking 20yo game ! =)

@@JorgeHFJ next month I will be getting desert wings Tobruk.unfortunately I cannot fly fighters due to having no equipment like joysticks ,vr,eye tracker,rudder,throttle etc but will happily and eagerly be your tail gunner

Pretty hot!!! Heheheheh

Thanks, mate! =D

Thank you!! You guessed right, I usually use only Armor Piercing and Incendiaries on my ammo belts.

@@JorgeHFJ I'll give that a go, thanks!

Hey, mate! Thanks!! =D For looking around I'm using a head-tracking device called trackIR 5. It translates your real head movements into the game. It is a game-changer, I really recommend it! It works amplifying your head's movement in-game. Let us say that you move your head 5 degrees to the left, in-game it will move 90 degrees to de left. So, you control your view with very small movements. =D

@@JorgeHFJ Thanks Jorge 👍

@@JorgeHFJ I've just checked the trackIR 5 out - amazing piece of kit! Thanks for the tip off ! :)

Thank you! Yeah, it is more difficult to see their tracers on a bright day... but were shooting back. Hehehe... Regarding my rig, it is on the video's description. If need more details, just ask. All the best!

Agree! And it is still very relevant in sim community...

Concordo! Além disso, tem muita opção de customização... Os prefixos do avião, número de series e até os tipos de munição de cada arma! Dá pra colocar AP em uma, incendiaria na outra... enfim, qualquer combinação!

CoD?

Cliffs Of Dover, pega a inicial de cada um, fala sério, não precisa ser gênio pra isso

Yeah. Hurricanes were their work horse... they did most of the job.

@@JorgeHFJ But as history would have it the more sexy Spits get the limelight.

@Dennis Moore You have to use what you have. For Germany in the last years of the war they used their mainstay fighters ME 109s and FW 190s as torpedo bombers. The Russians in the early years of the war used their famous IL-2 attack plane as an anti-bomber interceptor. Americans used the P-51, the P-47, the F4U as attack craft. Survival of the flexible and adaptable.

Thank you!! This time we had only 110s for escort... The 109s might be defending the main bomber group. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The Luftwaffe attacked the North of England on August 15th 1940, thinking that all the RAF fighters were down south and sending BF110s with slipper type external tanks as escort, as the range was too far for 109s. In fact, the North was fully defended by 13 group RAF and the raids on Tyneside were decimated, 75 aircraft lost. The leader of the 110 squadrons was the first to die, his aircraft being hit directly in the external fuel tank and exploding.

@@SvenTviking I live in the North east, a few got through and bombed some of my town of South Shields, but it wasn't badly bombed at all.

Sorry. Not that I know, maybe the guys from ATAG's forum (theairtacticalassaultgroup.com/forum/ ) know something...

@@JorgeHFJ Thanks much for the info

Try changing your ammo belts to AP and API (especially "De Wilde" ammo). Remove all "ball" ammo, they are not very effective.

@@JorgeHFJ Thanks! will do...

I am playing this on Steam...I wonder if that makes some kind of difference too....

Other squad mates were dealing with them =D

Sure! My conv is set to 150... shooting AP and Incendiary.

JorgeHFJ for both vert and horizontal?

Hi specs are in the video description

@@brianwatson1965 Thx mate! You are right and they are up to date... o7

Opa! Tem sim. O Stalingrad é bem mais recente, engine mais recente, e é o jogo no qual a empresa que desenvolve está colocando todas as fichas dela. O jogo está ainda em expansão com novos aviões e novos mapas. O cliffs só tem o mapa do canal da mancha e aviões ingleses e alemães. No Stalingrad, a quantidade de aviões é bem maior (ingleses, russos, alemães e americanos). Além disso, Stalingrad tem bem mais jogados de multiplayer do que o cliffs. Só que é bem mais caro. =/

@@JorgeHFJ obrigado

They had a mission to fly. A position to bomb. Same reason Allied bombers were such easy targets for ME 109s and antiaircraft fire.

Eu também! Tem algumas cenas muito realistas... O próprio thumbnail tb tá parecendo foto!

Compensa. Pelo nível do jogo, acredito que ele está bem barato. Mas tenha em mente de que é um jogo de 2011 e que você precisa no mínimo um joystick pra jogar. Um headtracker é recomendado.... Uma coisa boa é que existe uma expansão dele em desenvolvimento agora mesmo. Ela vai trazer novos aviões e um novo mapa do norte da África. Sobre o bugs, todos eles tem. DCS mesmo tem bugs de mais de 6 anos de idade que nunca foram resolvidos. Se vc quer simulação hard-level... é DCS. Cliffs parece arcade perte do DCS. Mas o DCS também vai ser hard-level no seu bolso. Os módulos de alta fidelidade (os mais legais) são bem caros... Bem, acho que é isso. Se tiver mais dúvidas, é só falar! o7

Sure, it is on the video's description. o7

@@JorgeHFJ oh thanks !! I was so Deep in video.....ahahah... 32 bit or 64 ? Thanks a lot....

64bits

Thanks! Yeah, it is a mystery... I have very similar videos that do not perform like this one. =/ Still trying to figure it out.

No VR, I'm using trackIR5 for head tracking...

Wow so I've never heard of that before but just looked into. You basically set it up and it reads your movements and where you look and what not?

@@47SCIPIO Yeah, but it amplifies your head movement. I use the track hat that comes with it. When I look to the left, let's say... 5 degrees... it moves 80 degrees in-game. It is a bit odd at the beginning, but you get used to it.=D

@@JorgeHFJ awesome thanks for the breakdown I'll start looking into it as I'm not interested in getting into VR at the moment

Hey, mate! I changed the ammo settings for all my .303. They are all AP and API.

@@JorgeHFJ ah, that would explain it. For some reason, I thought you slapped browning .50s on there (Don't know if any spitfires even had them but was the only reason I could think of). Thanks for the clarification, great video!

Hey, mate! You can find my PC specs on video's description. Cheers!

Classic!! =D

The blitz version comes already with Cliffs of Dover. In the past, Blitz was a mod, but today if you go on Steam and buy the game, it will be already the Blitz version. =D

Don't worry! Hurricanes will intercept them further away... =D

@@JorgeHFJ We were all huddled on the ground, under the kitchen table, and you just abandoned us! Abandoned, I tell you!

Hey Captain Couchpotato! I'm using the "blitz" version. This version is now the latest and official version of the game and it incorporates lots of the past Team Fusion mods. Check if you are using it. If not, try reinstalling the game (don't forget to same your key mappings first). =D

@@JorgeHFJ cheers for the response, i am using Blitz did some some testing flew a spitfire and i can defo hear them hit effects...the hurricaine is made of wood an canvas so if bullets hit my wings of a hurri its a very quiet sound, but with all metal wings its a fair bit louder....Team fusion rocks i brought this game day 1 of released and it was a joke, team fusion have made this hands down one of the best sims of all time...i`am enjoying it all i have though is an xbox one controller, using program called Joytokey to get the right stick as a view stick...can`t believe how well it works, controls are possibly better that IL-2 great battles\battle of Stalingrad at least for this potato

Correct, the music refence is in the video's description.

Obrigado DiogoS! =D

Hey mate! It is a bit o tweaking on the controls sensitivity and practice. You can change your axis sensitivity to a value you feel more adequate to you and also police yourself to make smooth and gentle movements with your stick. Plan you movements ahead and be gentle. That is how. =D I hope it helps.

@@JorgeHFJ thanks! Maybe I'm being alittle too rough lol I am currently practicing being gentle but it still moves around too much as I'm trying to shoot ahead of my target, I did mess with sensitivity a bit. I'll practice some more!. I'm loving playing a flight game, I'm a bit new. And ended up not realizing I played 6 hours straight til 330am last night 😂

I didn't had to do anything besides going on options ->controls -> axes and clicking on each axis and move my joystick. Does your windows recognize it?

A hit to the water, or any part of the merlin really should mean an immediate RTB for a spit. They're certainly not big enough to scare off an attacking pilot, but they'll still do damage.
