Check out the Store: growling-sidewinder.creator-spring.com/ Finally some World War II action for those of you who have so patiently waited sorry it took so long but we're back with the new Battle Of Normandy Expansion for IL-2 Sturkmovik Great Battles Series, hope you guys enjoy the video, and thank you for watching.
Attempt 3! Could you please show us ground strafes with different weapon setups from ground perspective? We all know how A10 Brrrt sounds from the ground and looks on target, some even know that for Viper's 20mm, but I really wonder how a 37 mm, 6 x 50 cal., 23 mm MiG-21 and 30 mm MiG-29 long strafes would look and sound on target! Also, could you please bring out the flying lol machine I-16 against the F-22?
Id love to see a series where he grabs a handful of friends and run a five on five with a full on furball. Doesn’t really matter if it’s WW1, WW2, Korea, or Vietnam.
2:50 they're Me 410 - the successors of the Bf 110. They've got two remote controlled 13mm rear guns instead of the single 7.98mm gun in a 110. You can recognise them by the shape. A 110 is rather boxy, whereas a 410 is much more round and sleek and shares its engines and outer wings with Bf 109 G models.
My father was a WW2 fighter pilot. Although he flew the F4U Corsair in the Pacific, these great videos give me a taste of what he must have experienced in aerial combat. Thanks guys!
@@norcalsrt1214. Thank you for the kind words! He did live an amazing life. He went on the do great things as a fighter pilot in Korea & Vietnam. But by far, his fondest memories were flying the Corsair in the pacific. It’s the aircraft he loved to talk about the most. Hopefully someday Growling Sidewinder will feature the Chance Vought F4U in one of their videos. Cheers.
IL-2 is simply still the best WW2 combat flight simulator, DCS is great but nothing does WW2 like IL-2. Flight model, damage model and engine management are just so good! I played IL=2 when it first came out 300 years ago (to play it on the Hyperlobby (remember that) or online needed installing it and it's many, many, many, many, many patches in a very specific order (not in "the correct" order) and it still rocks now, no need to apply 10 patches in a mixed up order!
That looked like a Me410 they've got two MG131 13mm heavy machine guns in a remote barbet, one each side, sweeping high and low rear quarter, best attack is beam to front quarter either side and direct front high, direct front low can get you a face full of 20mm or bigger depending on subvarient
so the mirage has had some pretty significant flight model changes making it keep its energy better as well as allowing it to have a turn rate to speak of. i was wondering if you could fly out the new mirage and see how it now holds up against a few bandits
YES! I love all military aviation, but world war 2 especially fascinates me. I would love to see more World War 2 content. I was actually wondering if you would pick it up again.
Haha 😂 that was a decent landing in the P51. As a professional flight instructor, aerobatic Pilot and tail dragger pilot I would LOVE to collaborate and give you all the information we use for training pilots onto tail draggers and high performance aerobatic aircraft 🫠
@@GrowlingSidewinder I’m down I got so much information I’ve created for students and of course actually flying them…. I’d love to help if I can, you’re a pretty good pilot from watching your dogfights 🤌 I messaged you on IG a while back otherwise I can email you?
One of the complaints from real pilots I've heard of IL-2 is the planes are really floaty slow with flaps down. It's hard to keep certain planes from bouncing in the sim.
"Wait, is that my wheel? I need that!" LOL I laughed so hard! I really love your IL-2 videos, more please! I really loved the SFX you put in as well, the actual game needs those implemented!
Yessss! I love world war 2 gameplay! It’s funny how I was watching IL 2 gameplay just yesterday and the day before. Growling you read my mind! All love brotha.
Absolutely love your videos GS!!!! I was a huge fan of simulators as a kid and, dont laugh, Ace Combat, but I just didnt want to pay $3-$4k for a good set up. Been playing war thunder for the WWII planes and experience and your videos have been extremely helpful for offensive and defensive flying. Keep it up my man!!
I’ve been a fan of WWI and WWII planes forever. Loving the modern stuff too, but I prefer to fly the older stuff. As much of the IL-2 Sturmovik content as you like.
the belly scoop had a fun habit of ripping the back half of the p51 off during belly landings. Grandfather was in the air force stationed in England during WW2.
Whether it’s warbirds or modern planes. My fav videos of yours are the ones where you just play dcs and do missions or just go out on sortie hunting! I’d love to see something Wild Weasley if that’s even possible. The Korea vid from last week was so sick. I don’t even play dcs, but these videos are really great man. Seems like you’re on the tip of the spear as far as air milsims go. Don’t get me wrong, the 1v1 dog fight videos are great too, but there’s another level of realism in the other style vids. Awesome stuff dude 🫡👍🏻👍🏻
I commented on another video, but would "Differential Thrust" work with twin engine World War II aircraft? P-38, Mosquito and Me-262 come to mind! Thanks for the great flight simulations!
They surely would with the twin props, and it's reported some pilots made use of it. Tho I'm not sure it would be safe at all in the early jets like the Me-262 and the Gloster Meteor. Engines weren't developed thoroughly at the time
Me-262 cannot do it to a degree that would be practical in a dogfight. You have to baby the throttle and there's throttle ranges for stable flight and dogfighting. If you're doing it for an advantage in a dogfight it would be impossible, either you quickly do it and flame out or set your engine on fire, or you do it slowly and safely, in which case the time it takes for you to feel the effect would make it useless.
so glad they fixed .50s, the reason I stopped playing IL-2 GB for like a year was because of how frustrating they were. I was so excited for the lend lease planes being available for Russia only to find out they were all basically useless. Might as well have been shooting .303 with how long you had to sit behind enemies. Especially larger planes. They look much better now. Especially excited for the dynamic damage modelling. It looks stunning on the tanks, I bet the planes will look just as good.
Great stuff! Very enjoyable to watch. IL-2 may not be full fidelity clickable cockpits but it’s a damn fun simulator of WW2 air warfare. Complex engine management is the bees knees.
These beach head patrol missions are nuts. The first one I flew I was cracking up at the sheer amount of AAA coming off the boats. If you are allied you need to stay well away too. I've gotten smoked by our own AAA multiple times now.
Man when you slotted in behind them I was screaming RUT ROH, not BF-110s...! Those are ME-410s! Much more dangerous to attack from the rear, they have two MG17 13mm machine guns mounted in remote turrets on the left and right side of the fuselage. Thats why you got lit up like a Christmas tree both of them can fire straight back with good angles. Great way to tell the difference between the two is to look at the tail! ME-410s have a conventional tail design while the BF-110 has a twin tail design! Loved the video GS! More IL-2 plz
Brilliant flying! Ace gameplay. Youve got a new subscriber. I tend to fly bombers more so but the Mustang is one of my favorites. Absolute joy, fast and great response via the controls. I love it when they light up like that..with that "whoompf!" And theyre flaming.
Would love more WW2 stuff! DCS is always fun and I love to live vicariously, but I could only afford to get into one sim personally and I chose IL-2. While the DCS and IL-2 communities will argue until the heat death of the universe as to which is "better", I really like IL-2's focused approach. It doesn't do nearly as much, but what it does is unparalleled for immersion. DCS definitely has it beat for community support and diversity of vehicles though.

hey can you do p40 vs bf110 video pls?
Please P38 with differential thrust
GS, those aren't BF-110s, they're HS-129s.
@Omar Khurshid you're right, it was the 410! Thank you!

Id love to see a series where he grabs a handful of friends and run a five on five with a full on furball. Doesn’t really matter if it’s WW1, WW2, Korea, or Vietnam.
Yeah this was fun
Agree. Friends and a giant aerial furball.
I second this
Can I third this??
I love the little screams of the pilots as they bale out
Yeah, was that a Wilhelm scream? :D
@@clairecelestin8437 or that scream when you run people over with the tank in Goldeneye
@@clairecelestin8437 No, but hilarious nonetheless :p
I love the explosion sounds when an engine is lit up when hit
I'm guessing the screams and fire ignition sounds are new?
Those reflections on the canopy at 5:54 OMG that's insane level of details
2:50 they're Me 410 - the successors of the Bf 110. They've got two remote controlled 13mm rear guns instead of the single 7.98mm gun in a 110. You can recognise them by the shape.

The screaming sound of the German bailing out was something else! 😂
That’s funny to you

Thanks for everything he did
The Corsair is my favorite aircraft of WW2. Such awesome engineering.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for giving some more love to IL2. I've been loving the Normandy map!
I'd love to see a WWII series like a campaign following a pilot involved in a some of the most historical battles.
We have Showflight yt channel for that
@@tanmaysingh267 snow flight?
I totally loved the added sound effects. Especially the guys jumping out. That little high pitched scream had me roaring.

DCS uses actual wind tunnel data. Il-2 engine management is based on a timer. Il-2 is nowhere close to the realism of DCS.
@@Coffey_DCS here we go again, a tale as old as time
@@thepinkplushie Yeah because it’s the truth broskie
@@Coffey_DCS okay
@@Coffey_DCSReal. Then we get floating fire.
They aren't objectively better than the other per se. They both have their pros and cons.
Really stoked to see you do more pre-1960 stuff. WW1, WW2, Korea, etc, would love to see more of all of it
5:13 that's an excellent landing. I don't see the problem GS.
lold
@@GrowlingSidewinder It sure as hell beats exploding.

good eye..... they were either Me 210's or Me 410's
Definitely a 410.
Man, I really thought that Arado driver was gonna go right through that burning engine. Lucky guy
WW2 era dogfights are always so much fun to watch.
Best sun effect ever.
I really like the detail of the plane. The fire coming out of the exhaust is awesome. Thanks for the WW2 video.
Woohoo! Great to see some more WW2 action. Nice to see you shooting up those Arados too
more WWII action? HELL YEAH!
Great video again. I almost peed my pants laughing when I heard the screams when the enemies bail out XD
so the mirage has had some pretty significant flight model changes making it keep its energy better as well as allowing it to have a turn rate to speak of. i was wondering if you could fly out the new mirage and see how it now holds up against a few bandits
My favorite content has been the WW2 and WW1 content. It's awesome your jumping back into it again!
YES! I love all military aviation, but world war 2 especially fascinates me. I would love to see more World War 2 content. I was actually wondering if you would pick it up again.
I was waiting patiently for the IL2 Normandy love. Finally rewarded...Thank You!!
WW2 aircraft never cease to amaze me.
I like the added thing of the pilots screaming as the eject out of the plane LOL
4:03 I wasn't expecting to laugh out loud at a GS video
Haha 😂 that was a decent landing in the P51. As a professional flight instructor, aerobatic Pilot and tail dragger pilot I would LOVE to collaborate and give you all the information we use for training pilots onto tail draggers and high performance aerobatic aircraft 🫠
I would love some tips about how to land them for starters

You always make me smile! Keep making vids! 🤙🏼
Yessss! I love world war 2 gameplay! It’s funny how I was watching IL 2 gameplay just yesterday and the day before. Growling you read my mind! All love brotha.
Finally, I'm very happy that you made another WW2 video. Thank you.
Love the tire coming off like a giant frisbee!

Been playing war thunder for the WWII planes and experience and your videos have been extremely helpful for offensive and defensive flying. Keep it up my man!!
Hey. The Ace Combat and DCS communities here get along just fine. We all like one thing here; military aircraft.
Awesome!! Love the historic style of aircraft from ww2 and previous
Loved how the Brits put the Merlin in the Mustang. It literally made this platform the best fighter of the era!
At the 2:50 mark those BF110's are actually ME410's and as you found out those two tailguns are really, really mean.
I’ve been a fan of WWI and WWII planes forever. Loving the modern stuff too, but I prefer to fly the older stuff. As much of the IL-2 Sturmovik content as you like.
Hellll yeah for more WWll action. Looks like a good way to sharpen up your gunnery skills ;)
Let’s go! I’ve been waiting for an old warbird video. Best thing is I was hoping for the p-51 as well!
I am one of those patience viewers that are always waiting to see some more WW2 videos. Please keep 'em coming and thank you
It's great to see you back on IL2! Excited to see more WW2 content!

Maybe, but I feel like with the less advanced avionics you would really risk getting into a flatspin or something more than a modern jet
Great video. The new damage model is awesome. The penetration power of the .50 cal is very impressive now.
so glad they fixed .50s, the reason I stopped playing IL-2 GB for like a year was because of how frustrating they were.

P51 : The Cadillac of Sky
Rear facing barbettes indicate ME410. Not an easy plane to deal with. Great vid mate
The "pilot screaming when bailing out" made the vid a lot more funny :)
Awesome, good to see you back doing some WW2 videos.
Amazing sounds with the fireballs and crashes!
That "Geez, Rick" got me! 🤣🤣🤣
I love this WWII stuff. So good!
I was just thinking a P-51 fight would be awesome and here we are
Always good to see WWII content.

I do like the immersion when playing this game in VR. almost forget i'm sitting in a chair in my room at times.
The graphics look unreal, great video.
Congrats boy, you are in the Army now.
Always a big fan of the prop battles. Love seeing this stuff
5:13 I can't believe you survived that and your radiator didn't dig into the sand and flip you.

Similar to DT on the F14, use rudder in flight to see if it allows you to redirect the nose momentarily to vector your guns better for a kill.
PS: barnstormer biplanes would often perform these ‘tail slides’ when flying at low speed to show off.
Those gun barbettes on the Hornets are nasty. I wasn't even sure what they were until the car sequence.
My father’s favorite plane to fly… another great vid, GS…. more WWII, please!
It makes me so genuinely happy that he’s playing il-2
That was pretty good. Once again in GS fashion, you say I probably shouldn't be here just before getting lit up. Good stuff!
I love the WII content, keep pouring it on us
Love these WWII vids! Please keep them coming! Ground attacks, bomber escort, ace battles, all of it!
Imagine game being so realistic that you would have to patrol for hours to encounter an enemy.
Always want more il-2 ww2 action!
7:07 I was sitting there thinking "ok, it's time to pull up now"
Very fun game and all of the planes are very realistic, and they have quite a few options to choose from as well. Also looks very nice too.
IL appears to be better optimized than DCS for VR.
Most definitely! Awesome Sim to fly in VR
This was a pretty cool video. Nice change of pace
