Thank you. My grandfather was on firewatch in London during the blitz. His job was to stand on a tower in Chiswick during air raids and use telephones and theodolites to work out where the bombs fell, then direct the fire brigade to the results. He was very familiar with all types of German aircraft (and their bomb loads) and missiles.
The Blitz-Heinkels could carry a bomb tonnage of two tons, the later version three tons, with stronger engines, about 1.350 hp I think, which wasn´t so bad for a two motor engine. It was a bit slow, less than 500 km/h but good looking, that´s true.
These airplanes were difficult to fly in real life. With such a wide wing, they were aerodynamically unstable under certain conditions and were prone to stalling. I noticed that you exclaimed that you didn't "crash on takeoff"! The FM seems to be spot-on. Great video work.
Actuality the He 111 was the easiest German bomber to fly once airborne but i heard the already out dated Do 17 where really hard to fly and took more skill than a He 111.
@@CheckSix Hey. I actually recently got an Asus 1060 Strix for my stationary device and so i now have 10 times better performance. I was playing the old 1946 game off the CD so you can imagine what kind of graphics quality that was. Maybe like these games looked in the 90`s? Indeed Stalingrad is the one i got. Let`s see, i have Moscow, Kuban, Rheinland and a few more. This is the ONLY thing i play, nothing else. 100% hooked on WWII flight sim ;-) I have yet not figured out if / how to use turbo superchargers when out & about. I find the Tempest the meanest cat out there, but my fav. aircraft is the Mig-3 :)
Those were some brave pilots. Slow, sitting ducks, totally exposed in the cockpit and hard to get out of (got the chance to sit in the pilots seat, and omg is it cramped in there)
You earned another sub, man! Looks like most German bomber pilots perished over London, because almost no one but you have done a level bombing before. Good to see a few veterans still remaining ;)
Later models of he 111s had upgraded defensive armament like 20mm cannon in nose and more 7.62mm machine guns. They could defend against enemy fighters or strafe enemy troops etc on ground
Hey 6! Nice video once again man. Only one tip, please try to inform the team on enemy positions in the chat if you see them. Also, ask for cover! There are often guys that will help you. More on hardcore servers like DED or TAW. See you around! :D
No, not dumb at all, I take a screen shot of the replay and then photo shop it, If it was a mission on the TAW server It would be a screen shot of a Recce flight.
In my opinion you could also fly the H6. I love your Bomber videos the most so i wouldn't mind if you would play the H6. It would be nice but I can't decide what you wan't to play. Love your videos
CheckSix thx. anyways if you're still looking for reason to upload H16 vids, you've got my vote. as of the moment I almost always fly the he111 and I really enjoy watching your bombin vids so I can learn/compare strategies.
They are very much the same plane, the H-6(the Stalingrad) has a fuel tank fitted inside the rightside bomb bay for long range bombing. A balance decision for the game by the dev's I believe, a good decision IMHO. The H-16(from Kuban, BoK) has that removed and is able to use the rightside bomb bay for bomb stowage only fits up to 4x SC250(249Kg) bombs in there. the loss of range is negligible, it changes the fight time from 8hrs + , down to 6hr 20 or 40 mins. but I do recommend the Battle of Stalingrad as a first purchase as it has aircraft like the Bf109 F4 and G2 Yak and Lagg as standard which most common aircraft available on multiplayer servers. I hope my answer helps and made sense, fell free to ask more if it didn't I will answer as soon as I find them. TH-cam no longer notifies me of comments or even reply's to comments I have made. Thanks for watching and welcome to the IL2 community proper :D
Thanks bro it helped me now to understand what the difference was between those two. Thank you also too tell me which BOX to buy I wasn't quite sure. I love your videos and I love it that you answer stuff to me.
Call me weird but I think the aircraft I'm most excited about in BoK is the Hs-129, it just has that "so bad it's good" appeal to it. Although I'm looking forward to the P39 and Spitfire too, they'll make some formidable opponents.
Kittenstomper I actually am also, I am really interested to see its performance and how effective it can be and I'm looking forward to the A20 and the new il2, the spit and p39 are awesome bonuses for me.
thanks, the game is called IL2Sturmovik Great Battles, there are different volumes but any one will give online multi[layer access to any map or server for free there is a sale on now i believe il2sturmovik.com
Best looking WWII aircraft; good to see it come home without a scratch (They used to drop bombs on my family, but it's still a gorgeous plane!)
Well I’m glad they missed

@@littlejimmy8744 Interesting comment about the Do 17. Why was it so hard to fly?
your mix of cockpit and external camera (views) is excellent.................love that you showed the bombs deploying............
Thanks, that's good to know I appreciate it :)
Wow! It looks like a beautiful whale-shark in that spotted camouflage!
That is some sweet graphix. I wish i was this lucky playing 1946 offline with an older video card, lol.
They have don a great job keeping the system req low maybe try it out when the a sale you can pick up IL2 Stalingrad very cheap

thankyou kindly

nice..I got myself a he 111 h6 coming in 1:48 ICM to do...

Thanks mate
i didn't know how complexe IL2 was
Nice work, we also plan to fly He 111 :)
Aleš Štika awesome I'll be keeping an eye out for that 👍
Great video as usual ..
Sha Dow thanks mate

See you around! :D
Sure thing
12:41 Either that fighter pilot was drunk or his earphones were malfunctioning...
Maybe a dumb question, where do you get your 'reconnaissance photos' of the target site?
No, not dumb at all, I take a screen shot of the replay and then photo shop it, If it was a mission on the TAW server
It would be a screen shot of a Recce flight.
Ah very cool, although I really wish I had this sort of intel before a mission :)
I love He 111 videos this one is special is very good I would like if you could do more of those. Keep up the good work. :D
Thankyou, I will keep that in mind I enjoy them too, I would like to fly the H-16 more but it never seems to be available
In my opinion you could also fly the H6. I love your Bomber videos the most so i wouldn't mind if you would play the H6. It would be nice but I can't decide what you wan't to play. Love your videos
The h16 was last major model of the heinkel he 111
Thank you for that insight I did not know that.
wicked vid!
Cheers
love your vids
Thanks for your constant support and encouraging comments Sean
just out of curiosity, why didn't the H6 in BoS have double bomb bay doors? Was this what happened in real life?
It had a fuel tank, it was a long range variant thanks for watching

flyus747 cool, thanks I do the same
Nothing like a Heinkel video to kick of the work weeks. Cheers!
I need to grab Luftschiff and go carpet bomb something.
[RBRI]Khaela lol, glad you liked it
Just have a question because I will buy Il-2 BOS and wanted to ask if the He 111 H6 is a much different plan then the H16

Brock Palmer thanks mate, I appreciate that
Oh man the 109 at the end 👋😂👍🇫🇮
😀 I know, if only he checked
12:49 "oh shit oh shit oh shit"
Lol
AAA+++ WELL DONE
Thanks mate :)
btw i am getting Il-2 and i rly look forward to play the He 111
I enjoy it and I'm sure you will too :D
Hi ,were can I find this game at?
il2sturmovik.com/
Good vid... no chatter , but subtitles to explain what's going on for those new to the game can familiarize themselves with controls and tactics...
12:42 lolololol, the guy scared
Great Video.. Nice bit of tension too! Those fighters will be getting some bollocking when they land 😂
great graphics what GPU are you running?
908Ti, ultra settings
it is doing an excellent job that is for sure the video of your looks amazing..
Lovely vid mate. Got yourself a sub :)
Mister_Meh thanks, glad you enjoyed it
1:04 put that on a crash compilation

Hows the MG 131?
I don't know yet, I haven't been bounced yet but with a 1000 rds at 900rds p/min should be good to see, plus its AP HE mixed belt
It's lovely.
Had two plane kills on my first run with the H-16, so the increased defense is noticeable.
Amazing Vid of the Heinkel... what’s the game called??:)
thanks, the game is called IL2Sturmovik Great Battles, there are different volumes but any one will give online multi[layer access to any map or server for free there is a sale on now i believe il2sturmovik.com

Была война на земле,на воде и в воздухе.И везде это была война.Ужас.
Looks like he 111 on eastern front during ww2
