IL-2 1946 Modded - He 219 Killer in the Dark Campaign Highlight; 11 kill post-Halloween special
Originally I wanted to have this uploaded for Halloween night by playing this on the 30th, but I was a little too busy so I wound up playing the first mission of the He 219 campaign on Halloween night instead. This has been a long time coming, as the He 219 is probably one of my favorite German aircraft (alongside the Me 410 and Bf 110) and I've been dying to play a campaign for it in IL-2 1946, so it's really satisfying to finally get around to it. Pretty promising results right off the bat too, 11 kills on the very first sortie- though I'd be lying if I said that I hadn't practiced quite a bit in quick missions with the Uhu in advance, I simply couldn't resist when she flies and fights as beautifully as she looks :)
Hopefully I'll match or exceed the 12 kill record I set with the Bf 110 in an earlier vid. I still need to play the 110 more, and also the Ju 88G (and later the C when that MG 151 mod is ready). WxTech, if you're reading this, I'll send you the translated He 219 manual soon-ish if you want to reference that for fitting a proper Revi sight in, I'm almost done with that thanks to the help of a German friend of mine who's been double checking translations and helping with context.
Game is IL-2 1946 with BAT 4.2.3

This clip reel was originally going to be an hour long, but Clipchamp butchered the quality whenever it was exported at that length (and seemingly might've affected this one too). Wound up severely cutting down on length of most clips as a result and completely redoing the editing just for it to be serviceable. God that software is wretched. I gotta upgrade to something like Vegas Movie Studio ...

Just another case of clips being too long to be worth trimming for Discord, so up on TH-cam they go with a touch of editing. The first dogfight with a 190 felt too cool to just cut so much out of for a 2 minute clip on Discord, so here it is from contact to shootdown (plus the second kill of the sortie). Gonna theme the thumbnail after the last one in the spirit of how I may start uploading hig...

A Fatal Error in Navigation

Right after takeoff I check the map and see a notification that an enemy aircraft is present at the temporary airfield I had just flown off from. I climbed up and looked around for a while for this intruder, until I see navigation lights on. To my surprise, a 109 has mistaken this field for one of his own!

    Using the same tracer smoke effect at night as in the day results in the nighttime appearance being FAR too prominent I've implemented a separate night version of the tracer smokes which has the opacity very much reduced, so as to make the smoke much less visible.

  • @glennledrew8347
    @glennledrew8347 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Nice to see the altered PoV and increased 6dof limits in action. The perspective compensation distance for the runway lights needs to be increased considerably. This would allow the texture size to continue to decrease out to a greater distance. Currently the size stops decreasing at a much too near distance, thus keeping them drawn at a large size in the distance. This makes the lights appear to grow brighter as they get farther away. 😉

    • @PretzelDarter
      @PretzelDarter หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you so much for that fix! I think I owe much of my success in this mission to it. I believe the landing lights may have been manually placed lights too? I'll have to check how they set them up in the FMB later. Interesting nonetheless though, I hadn't really been thinking of them in regards to that, only "wow this feels like an absurdly high amount of lights " :P

    Awesome video Pretzel! Just finished watching, but I'm a little confused since I was having trouble seeing what was up in the video, but was the last Dornier just unexploded on the ground and thats why it didn't give you credit?

    • @PretzelDarter
      @PretzelDarter หลายเดือนก่อน

      Aye, IL-2 1946 doesn't count an aircraft as destroyed unless it actually explodes/sinks, which leads to very strange things sometimes (e.g. an abandoned aircraft attacked on the ground, aircraft that's still floating at sea from hitting it at the right angle, or in this case a bomber belly-landing but remaining otherwise intact)

    • @PretzelDarter

      also yeah, that's a good point, I hadn't reviewed this one after it uploaded but it seems that youtube might've fucked up with the quality of the video so it's less viewable :( (or that happened again with clipchamp but it slipped by me)

      @@PretzelDarter If an aircraft you damaged remains intact after, say, bellylanding, as long as the crew remains aboard the plane it is not counted as a kill. But if some event such as running out of fuel should occur and thus cause the crew to abandon it, the plane will be stricken from the game world a minute later and THEN will be counted as a kill.

    Good flying in spite of the handicaps! I've long felt that the radii over which blast/shrapnel damage reaches is generally excessive. In many instances I think the values can easily be halved. The value as specified is, I think, where the effectiveness is half the effect at the point of the blast. Perhaps it could even be the 1-sigma radius, which efffectively can be thought if as the 1/3 radius. I should look at the kamikaze Zero to see the power and radius values assigned, and compare to bombs of similar explosive mass. Note that the fuel carried by a plane adds somewhat to the total blast effect. (I've been tweaking things in bomb.class, and the destructive power of crashing planes is handled here.)

    I can fix that too-high PoV. And expand the range of 6dof movement while I'm at it. Which plane is this? Will I have to d/l the existing mod for my B.A.T. 4.0 game?

    • @PretzelDarter
      @PretzelDarter หลายเดือนก่อน

      That sounds great! It's the Mosquito NF pack, with the Mosquito NF MK XII/XIII/XVII/XIX family by Sputnikshock (the one in the video specifically is the MK XIII with AI18 radar), which all use the same cockpit more or less I believe (and suffer the same issue). I don't recall if it's built into BAT 4.0 (though it might be), I just know for sure that it's in 4.2.3. Do you think you could also fix the Me 410's cockpit in this regard? The mod by crazyflak specifically. The head PoV is a little too high (not as bad as this, as the gunsight is at least somewhat usable on that one, but the bar in the windshield gets in the way a lot) on that one as well and there isn't a mask for the reticle either I believe. Thank you!

    As an inveterate cockpit modder, a few things I can see to improve this one: Replace the instrument night textures, which here appear to be simply the day textures made colorless, showing the same representation of reflections off the glass covers. Reduce the opacity of the gun sight reflector plates, which here are a bit too dark, as though made of a light sunglass material. Provide a proper reticle mask for the upper sight, whose reticle is seen well outside the perimeter of the reflector.

      Oh damn, WxTech? Didn't expect to see you here xD Yeah, it could definitely be better, and honestly I'd kinda prefer to have the historical reticle on the main sight too for that matter (the same style as seen on the sight for the Schräge Musik)
