I had the honour of thanking a veteran of the Battle of Crete at a random meeting about ten years ago. That noble man was in tears. May his fighting spirit endure for all time.
I hope they update the graphics more for this game, it still doesn't look too realistic, but the mechanics of the game are fantastic. And I loved the paintjob on the hurricane. Try to gain more height and speed in your attacks! Great video.
That is quite an interesting thing to happen, it does indeed look like you 'threw' a piston on that one, gotta watch WEP usage, keep it short. Good show.
Possibly the only BOB Hurricane Op conducted in a cap. No helmet, or oxygen! Incidentally, at the time, 257 was commanded by Bob Stanford Tuck, one of the greats of Fighter Command.
over temperature you can see @16:45 water temp is 130 Deg C, max is 120, over that and engine will degrade quickly. Two things that damage engine fast is over temp and/or over reving the engine. lots of lower speed and high engine settings will raise the temp, something you have to keep watching.
Besides blowing your engine, not to shabby. I hate it when the A.I. continues to cut in front of you. If I'm firing, when that happens(repeatedly) I say "Oh well" and continue shooting. The game will either stop cutting you off, or, you'll be a German Ace!
Yes I plan to go as far as I can with this hurricane/battle of Britain campaign and the Tobruk Stuka one which is only 6 missions then we can look back at il2 and rise of flight
No wonder that was a bit of a hairy landing: your rudder and your stabilizers were pretty chewed up. One of those 109s must have tagged you, or was it a case of "friendly fire"? Either that, or your Hurri has got a moth problem!😀
When you see the aircrafts all gray or as if they were under the shadow you have to delete the content of the cache folder (or the entire folder) located in Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover
What's up with the lack of direct lighting in the replays? Is that something that's a known issue or only on your computer? I haven't played Clod Blitz in a while but I seem to recall lighting working fine in the replays back when tobruk released.
No I think you have a point there, it was recorded /rendered in 1080 but it looks like TH-cam’s processing has almost downgraded the resolution. Not sure why that’s happened but I’ll have a look into it
Book store? Book shop is how people used to talk in the UK until about 10 years ago. We also don't say gotten here since the 19th Century, it's archaic. I do enjoy these, but the American English is ahistorical.

LoL "lose my fillings." Really enjoyed. You have a great attitude.

Good news they are working on 4K textures in a gfx update
I feel like the particle effects look better than the later games for me

Cheers, yeah no something that’s happened too much before but a cool mechanic to have simulated ingame

Hurricane is my favorite plane.
Always try to gain the advantage of height and attack from the sun.
Yeah I’m a hurricane person too, don’t know why it just appeals to me more that the spitfire
The wobbly Hurricane at the end 😄
Thanks Taff.
Thanks Taff, that was an exciting episode.
Great videography loved this episode great work Taff.
Thankyou
Great recovery on that landing, must have been a hairy moment.
Great storytelling. You've got the makings of a really good writer.
Or maybe you already are one...
Excellent video
Never saw a cylinder do that before. That was cool. I wonder what caused it.
Used WEP too much most likely.
Yeah that was cool to see that’s in the sim
Yeah you are probably right

Haha yeah it can be frustrating at times but also quite fun following a few aircraft in close combat
Outside of forgetting the red flare on landing, you handled that engine well...try not to burn them out. Merlins are expensive, chap.
What recording equipment do you use to get the replays of each strafe like that? So awesome!
Jolly good show old boy
What equipment (joystick, VR gear) do you use to play this? Do you use a full rig with HOTAS and rudder pedals or a simpler joystick rudder combo?
Hi Taff, will you be doing any more careers with RoF or IL2 ? would love to see them.
Yes I plan to go as far as I can with this hurricane/battle of Britain campaign and the Tobruk Stuka one which is only 6 missions then we can look back at il2 and rise of flight
@@TaffinExile excellent mate thanks.

Is it me or did the AI hurricane pilots have better aim than Taff 😁
A dead bat has better aim than Taff 😜
It’s not too hard, I deffo need to adjust my rudder settings they are far too sensitive
So mean 😝
Taff what you need are .50s on the Hurricane. That way you can compensate your poor aim with sheer weight of firepower 😁
@@SammySathya : Or wait for the Hurricane II version with 12 x .303" mgs. 12 x .303's are as destructive as 6 x .50's.
When you see the aircrafts all gray or as if they were under the shadow you have to delete the content of the cache folder (or the entire folder) located in Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover
Another career would be nice. Maybe in a littile used aircraft.
gj!🤙
Jolly good!

Great to see some True tone to tone dogfighting 😄
1:05 what happened to that Hurricane? Its missing a few bits
Easton may not be good, but he’s fast……..
Hi i will buy this game and i need to ask u Can I not use joystick to play?
Too bad you cooked your engine on that last plane
Yeah it’s been suggested I may have slightly over reved it but still got me home
Is it me, but the graphics quality really bad ! Like 360 ! The video said 1080 but the skins of these aircraft are really low ..
No I think you have a point there, it was recorded /rendered in 1080 but it looks like TH-cam’s processing has almost downgraded the resolution. Not sure why that’s happened but I’ll have a look into it
Floated a valve from over-rev.
Is that what happened, that makes sense
You got that washed out color glitch, might need to delete a cache file or something.
