I am a regular viewer of your videos. I would appreciate it if you could explain to me how your computer is built in terms of hard drives. I run some heavy simulators + STEAM and they require a large amount of space and speed. A. What drives do you have on your computer? B. Are they all SSD? C. Do you have any external drives on which your simulators sit? D. Where are your simulators installed?

How did you not get singled out by the 10 or so FW190's above the base like I do every time?

All I’m recording into obs studios is black videos. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

It's amazing how far away from the target was considered a direct hit in ww2. No real impact from the mission but still considered a success. On a personal note, I work on the railway and find it extremely offensive that you're trying to bomb me and my colleagues 🤣

Nice one, keep em coming!

Good points! The note about the Conga Line is that easily you have a lot of planes with equal energy levels and someone with more energy can easily exploit it! 😅

Thanks Colonel! Merry Christmas!

auuuuu new video! lets goooo

Great. Thanx Colonel

Great info.

"Armor plated" underwear 😅

Col Ninny Rocks!!! If it was not dor hia extreme modesty he'd be perfect!!!

One of my favorites, great instruction method

"Go find it, I did enough" haha agreed. Going to go find it now. Cheers Col

⁠LOL. I’m a WWI flier in my heart. Still, will also use this in FSX and XPlane as it is universally applicable. Best 😊

very good video, thanks

Great tutorials. Very helpful. Much appreciated.

Great video Ninny

Like your posts and have tried your joystick setup with no luck. Also wondering if anyone else lost their cameras? No matter what, redownload or reset everything no luck.

Yep it would be very nice to have more people flying in MP but the problem is the steep learning curve for those who start so the only real option would be COOP against AI but since the AI is so shallow as it is this wont work aswell. I relly hope the AI in IL-2 Korea will be better than in IL-2 GB, in 2025 we will see if the genre has a future, also jets should attract more people, fingers are crossed!

What's the opposite of *_woke?_* non-asshole redneck says _"Screw you, troglodtye."_

I really with IL2 had a bigger audience down in oceania as it is you are cursed to play with 250 ping on eastern US servers and all of the problems associated with that

Nice one Ninny 👍

Very useful, but last 14 minutes is just black screen.

Video title "how to identify friendly aircraft" Video contents "Thats a friendly, thats an enemy, thats a friendly, thats another friendly" Wow thanks

"nothing beats a well ventilated fuselage"

Easy. When you engaging don't turn to him do a high yoyo works 90% of the time. Of course only applies to 1vs1 if he's accompanied by buddies keep speed up and pray

I used to enjoy Microsoft WW2 in the Pacific. However there were so many people cheating I stopped. Example, Hurricane with performance of an F16 in burner. Is there any of this in IL2?

I am one of the 99% flying single player. I fly exclusively in VR, which seems to be a disadvantage in multi-player because VR doesn't yet provide the clarity that a good monitor does. Once VR really approaches that clarity, I might then have an interest in flying multi-player. Also, I fly IL-2 to try to satisfy my interest in WWII flying. I have watched many dozens of multi-player videos, and another reason that I am less interested in multi-player is because most of the flying that I see, with some exceptions, doesn't look like WWII missions, but more like just small duels without a real mission objective. Sort of an everyone out for kills instead of accomplishing the mission that the pilot was ordered to carry out. I think if the multi-player experience was structured more like a WWII squadrons with mission objectives, it would attract more single players. I know that some servers have begun doing this recently, and I hope that it succeeds.

Thank you for the information. Would've took forever to learn on my own

aircraft performance chart - Thank You!

Great flying & shooting! Are you a member of an online squadron?

Well done, scared 2 of them to death! 😆

Excellent.

Thank you so much for your great tutorials. So far it seemed impossible to control my plane, thanks to you, I am starting to enjoy il2. Cheers!

Hey Colonel! After starting IL-2 1946 for the first time I came across this channel and I must say - it has helped me greatly in so many areas of understand both the aircraft and techniques of flying/dogfighting! After watching many of your previous tutorials I've noticed a significant difference in my ability to maintain and manage energy. I feel like most rookie pilots (myself included) are somewhat impatient in how they approach a lot of these areas, but taking that extra time to climb, gain altitude and not spend 20 minutes just chasing the tail of an enemy has made a world of difference! Hope this message finds you well, all the best good sir

why il2 mosquito does not have an antenna ..

Love how u described immersion and realism, i want so much to find people that think gaming like this, it's so damn rare. Immersion is comms, tactics, fear, and so on but yea... immersion is that not over powered experience and so on. Well explained the issue about games today all based on breaking even and actually much beyond that with greedy non sensical dlc selling... I often said that: it's just like sticker album filling... seems people are too young to understand what I mean or never collected stickers. That's why I carefully select what to play and then also decide HOW to play stuff if I decide to buy. Hope to meet you. !

Hey Niny, where do you recommend me to start with IL2? Just GB Stalingrad or Flying Circus? I'm a newbie that has played some WT, some Rise of Flight (loved it) and I started with GB Stalingrad and it's great but I also have a bit of a hard time. Got a joystick and trackir and I also got some custom training missions but I don't know, maybe ww2 planes are too complex and I should get Flying Circus and properly start from there =? Thanks in advance

Is there any terrain deformation for things like runways where you can hit them and make it so planes have a hard time taking off

"Upload a photo of anyone you like!" -Proceeds to insert a pic of Hitler... lmao. XD

Can you explain what trimming at takeoff is ? I dont which one you mean. Also when I bind some of them, nothing happens in my cockpit. But besides that everything works great. Thanks Edit: I found it its under stabilizer

Short and simple - Thank you! Next question, can you explain mixture and running cold - especially in the N-17, I have a hard time keeping that one running properly, especially when descending and trying to keep the rpm down? Much appreciated!

I am way more shitty at landing with fully functional airplane than you with half of the 110 :) I wondered to what extent damage control can be done in this game. Thanks for sharing

Love the videos, been very helpful. You should do one on rudder control during fighting and turns, unless you already have one and I haven't seen it.

Adding a comment to help the “algorithm.” Good video, good channel, algorithm-challenged. A question: do you think that computer flying at night is made more difficult by lack of seat-of-the-pants attitude awareness? Seems like seat of the pants is a two edged sword, made all the sharper at night. I believe one of the Kennedys flew a light plane into the ground at night, the conclusion being he he failed to believe his instruments.

'Knowing your opponent's aircraft" excellent sequence.

I would appreciate a video about Single Player pros and cons in IL2. I still like il21946 offline because offline AI is very smart and you can command yours wingmen (they are good too and do not go far away after a few seconds). How is the AI in IL2 ?

Played IL2 /46 and GBS since 2005. Had so much fun with my squad mates (who became real life friends). DCS has pretty much supplanted GBS in our squad now and it’s not my cup of tea. Great while it lasted though 👍🏻 I just fly career mode off line now.

I play War Thunder. I also am too old and too slow for top tier battles and prefer vehicles near WWII vintage or thereabouts. My channel is _much_ smaller with 233 subs. I think it has a lot to do with how niche my gameplay is as I _only_ play the battle pass challenges. I have subscribed as I enjoy watching vintage aircraft in action.
