Precise simulation of the flight model allows everyone to learn the special character and limits of each and every plane in the game. Use each of their special abilities and performance characteristics to complete your mission and survive the brutal fight.
Congratulations on a successful mission in the P-40, the engine management in that aircraft takes up so much more effort than any of the other aircraft in game, I have been downed more by engine issues in the aircraft than enemy fire
The P40 is more of a boom and zoom'er compared to the Hurricane. A suggestion would be to try and build as much energy as you can and try to maintain it. Getting in a turn fight, she's heavy compared to something like a 109, so try to avoid it. She wont turn like the Mig, Hurricane or Spit
Ditto. Boom'n zoom
A shame that there was no P-39 squadron... I love the Airacobra
You remove the outer guns because you get way more ammunition and 1600 rounds really isn't enough for 6 guns. It's what alot of russian pilots did because 4 fifties was still more than they were used too.
If he could try and conserve his ammo/aim for the cockpit or something, he might be able to use his 1600 rounds nicely with 6 guns
@@rusuproductions7474 true but for a relatively fast firing gun. 281 rounds per gun is really not a lot. In multiplayer I really struggle to bring down more than 1 or two planes with that.
@@lightunicorn1371 you have a point, but still, he could try to improve his aim and conserve ammo
@@rusuproductions7474 oh of course that goes for literally every except shafari
Good comment by Saber 8. Dive on your opponent, shoot, regain altitude. Try to avoid a turning fight unless you have a wingman. Then you can use the "Thatch Weave." Google it.
The landing gear on the P-40 isn't as wide tracked as the Hurricane. You ground-looped on your landing. I think your airspeed may have been a bit too high on the landing... then you stalled it and bounced. Don't get on the brakes when you bounce because you don't know which wheel will touch down first. It's like landing a Spit or a 109.
Look at that old gyroscope. The old P40 suffered on the top end up high but was a tight turner at medium speeds. It had that Allison engine that wasn’t as powerful as the Packard Merlin.
First off I thought the .50 cals didn't pack as big a punch as I'd thought. But then again German aircraft had armored protection compared to the Japanese. P-40 isn't a turn fighter to be sure. This is going to be very interesting. Keep up the great work Taff
Any landing u can walk away from is a good landing! Good work taff!
Good Luck and Godspeed. Thanks for all you do Taff. Love it
Love to see more of how you can stack up against the Stuka with a P40.
Donuts! Most pilots go for a victory roll, but you do you. LOL
Never mind Tafinski, any landing you walk away from is a good landing. You will tame the Traumahawk with a bit more experience.
Blimey Taff, that P40 looks a right pig to fly🐖 I fear for Trofim in that crate 😕
You'r The best youtuber bro😍
Looks like the tail wheel lock was working. The tail wasn't down yet though. Nice to see you moving up in awards again.
Good thing about a 50 cal. compared to a 303: more stopping power and penetration. Which means better damage on enemy planes.
The .50 cal heavy machine gun indeed fires larger bullets than the .303 cal light machine gun. But the .50 cal also has a slower rate of fire than the .303.
The Hurricane with 12 .303’s fires roughly 3 times as many bullets in a 1 second burst than the P-40 with 6 .50’s.
True. Guess it's up to the individual taste in weapons then
I noticed that your engine temperature was cold if you keep it a little bit Hot right at the green to the yellow line you’ll put some more boost behind the engine don’t do it too often or you’ll blow the engine
I love the 50 cals on the P51 nice to be able to spray an area and probably get a hit. Hopefully the p40 is the same! Loving the series and the streaming
At least the ground crew should be able to find your flaps.
That landing is called a ground loop.
Can you put the subtitles back on? My Russian is not really good :)
Well done for not dying. There's a reason the US gave the Soviets the P40. And it's not a good one.
Is there a shark mouth skin for the 040?
01:27 that picture is not a tomahawk
Losing two fifty cals was a way to boost the speed of the P-40.
Why not turn on the front wipers when the windshield is so dirty before you land ? Or where the fluid out ? 🤓
Question for the more experienced IL2 campaign players - I've come across a bug where my pilot is scheduled for the second mission in a day only, but once the first mission auto-resolves, the roster updates and he's no longer on the mission. If I'm on the first mission of the day I can do that mission, but if I'm on the second I invariably get removed. This results in days and days of no actual missions until I'm lucky enough to be rostered on the first mission. I've tried googling it and found very little, and the IL2 forums never loaded at all when I found what looked like a discussion about it. Anyone else experienced this, and more importantly found a way to fix it?
Couldn't vote. Bomber carreer would be nice though 😊
Oh and if you ever give DCS a go, just to mess around, I can offer opinions and input on aircraft
I wonder how the old P40 will fare against a 109? I do worry about Trofim in his Tomahawk!
Flying the US's bargain bin aircraft now, are we? Well, best be careful not to be below or at equal altitude to your enemy. It may be as tough as a brick, but it flies like one to. Best to drop it from someones head or fling it directly at someone rather than try and curve it like a baseball.
Trofim Tafinski would have been a bomber pilot, as he is a terrible shot
this is such a differant plane to fly compared to hurricane thats coz its a p40 and shoot earlier wow shot at farther distance and killed it
A 12 ounce mirror wouldn't cause you to lose top speed lol. Besides that you may try the 4 mgs. It's lighter and more agile, but obviously lose 2 guns...
The mirror is mounted externally, causing aerodynamic drag. The weight is less of a concern.
The P-39's mirror is interior for that very reason, Bell were pretty good about that.
Your landing had a ground loop. Ive seen you do that beforecmaybe thats one to look up. Im no pilot however.
Wolfpack 365 found he was less prone to ground loops if he locked his tail wheel. Maybe worth a try...
@@kevinfinch6215 I think Der Sheriff has covered the P-40 in his "How To ..." series of videos. It may be worth having a squiz at that ...
Question why you have soviet colours and not british or american i know that is a russian game or something im Just wandering?
Love tour videos mate!
Soviets receives some allied planes, tanks and other equipment from lend-lease program
P40s were given to the russians during the war under lend lease by the americans.
@UC_GptY4_8dxnQd_iFMSnuNQ, I wish you had looked further north on the map and found another Hurricane squadron, rather than switching planes in mid campaign. The Hurricane was the MOST used lend-lease fighter in the Soviet Union, and was surely still in service closer to Moscow.
Since you are using the P-40, you might want to increase your convergence distance. You're not firing spitballs anymore. Actually, the .50 cals hit just as hard as the German 20mm cannon, due to their much higher muzzle velocity. Force = mass x velocity². Add to that the .50s had more than double the rate of fire, AND the fact you're firing six .50s (SICK FIDDIES!) compared to the 109s' two cannons, and you have a HUGE advantage. Oh, and USE YOUR THROTTLE! You keep overshooting the Stuka when all you have to do is roll up behind him and shoot him down.
When landing, you have to allow for the TORQUE of the engine. In the air, it makes your plane roll, but once you touch down, that transitions to yaw...pulling your plane off to one side. Right as you touch down, cut the engine to idle, raise the flaps all the way, and steer with the rudder BEFORE you ever begin braking.
2:36 - SIT-ni-kov
3:19 - Although there was fierce close-quarters, house-to-house fighting, the Soviets never completely LOST Stalingrad.
5:55 - You MIGHT want a couple more notches of flaps there, Trofim ol' sod.
Good grief, Taff! That crate took about half an hour to get off the ground. Either you forgot to wind up the rubber band to the max or your obsession with adding in flaps on your take-off had something to do with it. Take your pick. I'd say, adding flaps in on take-off only adds drag and slows you down which is kind of not what you want when you're taking off. Also, the P-40 is not a turn fighter like the Hurricane; it is a boom-n-zoom fighter. You need to get above your enemy and dive on him and extend away and climb back up before making another attack. If you try to turn fight with a 109 in the P-40, he will chew your ass off something rotten! I believe a TH-camr called Der Sheriff has covered the P-40 in his "How To ..." series of videos; it may be beneficial you having a squiz. Looking forward to seeing how Trofim fares, though!
It always amazes me what a nasty load of garbage the p40 is in this compared to cliffs of Dover where it is quite competent when flown to its strengths.
That P40 is certainly no Hurricane, packs a punch though!
You don’t need more flap for take off btw, you need no flap. Fighters don’t use take off flap so you’re just adding a ton of drag.
👍🏴
I know the video is a year old I just had to say that lol
Stop showing-off! Those outrageous landings are not making you popular with the ground crew, that bonus is already spent on 'mess-bills'?
Pax dude.
