Numbers are wrong color for JV 44s doras, they should be red.

Try this in IL-2 Cliffs of Dover. You will be able to get the correct aircraft for both sides. The flight models will be harder too

The Bf 110 did not fail during the battle of Britain, the RAF fighter pilot could during the BB could not distinct the 110th from the 109th when it coms to their lethal.

My favourite Piston engined fighter. Anyone says "The xxxx was the best"abcd fighter, just say the TA 152 was better, they always have a hard time trying to prove it.

My Uncle Walter Loos was also one of the Pilots of the Ta 152/ JG 301. But he didn't talked about his experiences during WW2. I assume it was a "terrible" time for him. Hope we won't get such times back.

I think the Tempest and Ta 152 were completely different planes. The victory over the Tempest was only because the Tempest pilot was inexperienced. Let's remember that in the same fight another Tempest had shot down a Ta 152 a moment earlier. Of course, at a higher altitude the Tempest had no chance.

Nice video. Thanks

UH lots of IFSS if the Germans had better fuel 100 octane and pilots with so many kills way beyond anything the USA had the oppurtunity to use them then yhaaa the 152 and the d9 were every bit as good as the p51 or spitfire shoot the 163 with all probabilty broke the sound barrier long before the Usa did but we will never know ...

:3❤️

What gloves are these?

I think its the Mig series cockpit.

Sorry but not realistic or born out by actual confrontations. Yes Mossies were shot down by Me110 but this makes it look like they were totally mismatched and the Me110 was a superior aircraft.

I had always been told Operation Bodenplatte was a complete failure that hurt the Germans far more than the allies. I had no idea the allies cooked the books in terms of damage reported.

How does this video only have 356 views? It contains alot of information, particularily in regards to the Russian and Ukrainian Liberation airforces. Although a part 2 would be nice to cover the Croatian and Slovakian airforces. ( + Hungary, but theres already a very in depth series made on the Hungarian airforce in WW2 by another channel)

Had no idea Il-2 1946 looks so good!

Wow! Amazing story. This design deserves better in the annals of aviation history. Thank you for setting the record straight! Much Respect!

The narrator's got a great voice but seems to have mispronounced a few things: gruppe, jagdgeschwader, Leigh Mallory, Jagdwaffe, Bader, Malaysia. "Friend from Foe" should be "Friend or Foe"?

Great video! The P-47D is the only plane I struggle with in IL-2; for some reason I can’t make as tight turns as any other plane, and as such almost always drop out of the sky… that’s why I searched out and found your video. Do you have any tips for me? You seemed to handle the plane so well :)

It should be asked why it was developed too late instead, not how it could have been developed. Germany had a fine aircraft industry before and during the war, no reason why they should no be able to build great potentially war winning aircraft. The important answer lies in why the TA152 only was delivered in January 1945. Because it was ordered and conceived too late. Why?

Not another what if the Germans had - they didn’t and they lost

Who cares about your opinion?

great graphic settings, is that reshade?

Schön den amerkanischen Dreck abgescossen

I would hope if any 109 pilot in any variant found himself in a horizontal turn fight with mk XIV he would know mistakes were made...

👍

Where were you able to find the original soundtrack?

Неплохой самолёт. Да он Миг переборит!) 0:38

What? A single G model takes on 2 mk14 s and wins?

Good study of the 109 ... and Spitfire. 2 incredible airframe refined and developed over time.

very nice

i think that the germans will win the battle of Britain at the British war lose their minds

nice video,, only online against humans its a bit different than a IA mission in the game.

Hans-Joachim Jabs (Pronounced "Yarbs"), was a German military officer and fighter "Ace" in WWII. Jabs was one of the few pilots in WWII that had success in two different types of aircraft being used for two totally different purposes. Jabs joined the Luftwaffe in 1936 as a Fahnenjunker (Equivalent to an E-5 Sergeant) at the age of 19. Upon graduating, he served briefly (two months) as a bomber pilot before going to conversion training as a fighter pilot. He successfully completed the conversion training and was posted to a unit that flew the ME109, the emerging premier fighter aircraft in the world at that point in time. His unit was then selected to convert to the new ME110 twin engined "heavy" fighter or what Germany deemed as a "Destroyer" aircraft. Many German Luftwaffe High Command personnel including Hermann Goring believed that the ME110 would be the backbone of Germany's air force, even over the ME109 Fighter, thus the majority of funding in the development of fighter aircraft went to the ME110 over the ME109, much to the dismay of fighter commanders such as Adolf Galland, who knew the ME109 was superior over the ME110 in dog fights and shooting down four engined allied bombers. Jabs had been trained in bombers, fighters, and now heavy fighters and was an exceptional pilot and air tactician. Jabs would use surprise, height, and position of favor being launching an attack against another aircraft. Pilots knew the ME110 was inferior to Spitfires, Hurricanes, and other single engine monoplane fighter aircraft of that era, however, these aircraft were still none the less used for combat missions for the entire six years of WWII in almost every area of the european battlefields. ME110's (and the later variants up to the successful but lacking in numbers ME410 "Hornet") were seen in the sky's throughout Europe until the later days of the war when they were seen far less often due to fuel shortages, parts not being available to fix broken or battle damaged aircraft, and also lack of experienced pilot's to fly them. Training on the ME110 was more extensive than the single engined aircraft and only the most capable pilot trainee's were selected for twin engined aircraft training. Jabs would either hunt "free hunting" (a method many German pilot's preferred), or he would be sent to an area by an air traffic controller/radar controlled situation rooms with large amounts of highly trained personnel assigned plotting the fighters to intercept points using sophisticated radar technology of that era and maps/plotting boards) in order to shoot down the incoming bombers and the fighters that were protecting them. Jabs would sometimes engage in head-on attacks, often engaging in a deadly and dangerous game of "chicken" with his enemy opponent. Jabs survived WWII and became a successful businessman after the war. He would frequently attend re-gatherings of old WWII fighter "aces" and befriended many of his opponent pilots from the Allied nations after the war, including John Caulton whom he shot down in a head-on attack over Jab's airfield when he was returning from a mission. Caulton survived being shot down, and was quickly captured by the German forces. Jabs visited Caulton at a military base he had been brought to immediately after being captured in order to meet the brave pilot who almost shot him down over his own airfield. Jabs even gave the allied pilot a hand written note to prove the two had met and even wrote on the note asking any German who found the note, to allow Caulton to keep it in his possession. Caulton kept the note. Caulton had been just seconds away from shooting down Jabs in the encounter, but Jabs, being the more experienced pilot, was able to outwit his opponent in a daring head-on attack with both planes barrelling at each other at over 300+ MPH each! Jabs and Caulton both opened up with their guns at each other while flying head-on, but Jab's bullets and cannon shells disabled Caulton's plane and he was shot down. Jab's landed safely, although his aircraft had also sustained damage. The meeting of Jabs and Caulton was captured by German military propaganda photographers.

The narrator sounds a bit like Christopher Hitchens.

Interesting thanks for sharing.

Willie Reschke was my grandmother's first cousin.

The la5.was a superb aircraft that the luftwaffe co-,opted ... bulletproof Russian engineering

Amazing that the 109 could still hold its own against allied machines up till 1945

Good video!

Willi Reschke, not Reschka

Solid content, learnt something new today. Thanks for the vid.

Time 05:44 is erronerous number fore sure. During whole 1941 only 169 Me 109 and 2 Fw 190 were lost due to enemy fire! The number for shorter period was definitely significantly lower.

In March 1942 JG 26 lost 4 pilots dead by enemy action!

Only up to 115 Fw 190As were shot down by enemy fire in the West during 1942!

Only one fw 190A was shot down on 17.7.42 and one on 15.7.42.

Amazing and informative video. I've been studying the war my entire adult life and I had never heard of the free Russian Army. Thankyou for making this.

Awesome stuff! Love me some Romanian liveries portrayed on an epic scale. Shout out to Bulgarian wartime liveries too

P47 pilots must had been on the piss.

What a good looking aircraft. Imagine had these gone up to meet B-29 at 30,000 feet? The TA-152 might have dove on it from 40,000'. I will guess the B-29 would need to drop its 7,000 pounds of bombs to try to get away and at least gain maneuverability. and avoid violent stall.

Romania was well industrialized under the monarchy as was much of Easter Europe - until the commies took over
