I thought you were going to dive under the bridge. This one is a hard fight. You literally couldn't out dive and out run or out climb or out turn him. You only have chance on head on shots and I'm glad you made him overshoot without getting killed. You basically did the only thing you could do and you did it very well. Bravo.

The person flying ought to be embarrassed by this "performance".

Is it my feeling alone that in IL2 1946, planes blow up quite easily. Seems to be much sturdier in the later IL2 and in DCS.

That D pulls off a sweet defensive move but in the end the twin Allison engines and a superior turning ability gives the P38 the win. 👍 thumbs up video.

Notice how the reflector glass takes on a prominent yellow splotchiness when your plane goes inverted? This phenomenon of the gunsight reflector texture being most apparent when the Sun is shining from underneath (as though the floor/hull is transparent) is a consequence of one or more factors nit fully appreciated by the creator of the sight. In some cases the sight glass goes quite 'milky' and hazy, significantly reducing contrast. Some windscreens suffer similarly, too. The opacity of the texture, its Ambient and Diffuse values in the texture's .mat file and the orientation of the model's surface normals play a role. In my mods to sights and for my new creations I take such factors into consuderation. Then there's no unrealistic enhancement of the glass that could occur only if the Sun could shine upward through the floor. ;) Furthermore, I do add a new element where aporopriate. And that is a reflection of the collimating lens. It dynamically varies in intensity as the angle of the Sunlight changes, being strongest when the Sun shines straight down, directly on the lens.

This is the long distance shots I had been talking about. P38's specialty. :D

This is a real good mission for download and play 👍💯 note on the gun cam the close up on the A6M Zero the a.i. pilots puts full flaps down to stay with low speed flight. I think it is the best of any flight sim.

I'm here because I watch missions on the @callsignnictmere and he does TH designed missions.

Love your videos❤

3:40 That was spectacular! Nice flight! 😀

Great series. The M model was a pure fighter I think. a good match up vs a D9. 👍cool ending gun cam.

Well played after taking a hit on the initial merge. I see no reason not to go for a head on. Good separation before moving in.👍5

Good battle going up against aces is no easy win. The close up on the head on was epic. Thumbs up video.

I find The Slot or New Guinea maps that will allow some positional advantage so you are not forced to take risky head on's.

Anatomy 109K4 low speed and climb advantage. P51 high speed manouvering advantage. It looked like the a.i. pilot was trying to force a flat spin. You held it together long enough to get the victory. Air to air is more than a one circle fight. Well done, thumbs up video.

That was quite a dogfight ! Well done !

i have always liked those early John Wayne P40's with the twin fiftys mounted up front in the nose. The Ki43 is probably the most dangerous plane in the game. staying high an nose up shooting is most likely the best tactic against an ace. Thumbs up video.

Try to stabilize before firing. You seem to have a habit of sudden movement just when firing, either up or down or left or right. Try not to move suddenly when firing. :D

Could have open fired earlier. With P38's guns all in the front, you can hit from afar.

You win that fight with the low speed turn with full flaps down, anything less would have resulted in a flat spin. Thumbs up video.

Probably the most influential WW2 flight sim of all time. The breadth & scope of what the original IL-2 does is just spectacular even today. I was totally awed at this masterpiece when it originally released and subsequent expansion games like IL-2 Forgotten Battles and IL-2 Pacific and finally IL-2 1946. The new IL-2 Great Battles pales in comparison. Keep the vids coming they are great.

Excellent match the a.i. in 1946 is the best, that 110 really tried to get away and go offensive. No easy kill unless you are flying a Spitfire of course. Showing the different flight views is a winner too. Thumbs up video (3)

Very cool, love that aircraft.

Excellent video P38's in the pacific were sure power planes. I just downloaded the mission, going to fly it soon.

game?

oh ooh XD

How do I go about getting the gun cam on my flights? I can't seem to figure it out

By keeping your virtual head practically pressed against the headrest you unnecessarily handicap yourself. In a higher G turn the lower edge of the sight hides your target when you set the correct deflection. If you were to lean forward you could see the sught's reticle AND the upper cowling surface simultaneously, thereby affording a far better sight picture that keeps a Zero in view during a deflection shot under positive G. I cannot but marvel at the number of videos in which the player fails to avail himself of the full range of virtual head movement. Even simply cycling the 'gunsight view' would be a help here, as it does position the viewpoint closer to the sight. Think of it like this. You're looking out the kitchen window while leaning against the opposite wall. The view angle of the outside is not large. Walk up to the window, and the Vista outsidw expands enormously. Real fighter pilots sit farther forward than is represented in most of our game's cockpits.

Good to see that, unlike too many players, you are not keeping your virtual head practically glued to the headrest. 😅 Rather, you're making use of the Z-axis (fore-aft) component of 6dof movement so as to lean away from the headrest and thereby obtain a better view aft (and enjoy a better view through the gun sight.) I tend to bang on endlessly on this topic, groaning when I see videos where the player is suffering a quite needless restriction to visibility of the outside world. It amazes me how so many folk don't appreciate the benefits of setting up and using their head tracking gear to full advantage.

Great mission. Ace in a day

Damn

What mod are you on? I use the stock game and it seems your P-38 guns do alot more damage than the stock lightning model.

Gun cam! Excellent views well done. They are always well received. Thumbs up video 👍

Trak iR adds to the video, and I also think you got the iR views down in combat. 7 victories well done. Thumbs up video! (3)

cool

Good mission

I can see you are using your Track iR, and it really improves the video more of a human view as opposed to being mechanical. It should be easier to spot those Zekes now. Thumbs up video 💯👍1

Hey, no slo-mo when strafing, that's cheating! ;)

Must of had those bazooka bullets I hear about lol. Great vid!!!

Nicely done!

Trains have to be the best targets ever. This is a good mission to fly if you are an IL-2 1946 player. Thumbs up video 👍1

I got the map to load in VP ! I will be playing this mission soon. Thumbs up video (2)

Great camera work. I saw this mission posted on M4T well done.👍

Thumbs up video the air battles over Port Moresby were epic. IL2 1946 represents!

Nicely done! Never count the old Kittyhawk out as an effective fighter.
