Some of the first American airmen to join the air war over Europe were the volunteers of the RAF’s Eagle Squadrons. In 1942 they were transferred to the Mighty Eighth Air Force under the 4th Fighter Group, based in Debden, Essex. The 4th was the first fighter group to penetrate German airspace, the first to escort bombers over Berlin, and led the first shuttle mission from England to Russia. Under the indomitable leadership of Colonel Don Blakeslee, they became the highest scoring unit of the USAAF, destroying 1,016 enemy aircraft in the air and on the ground.
In this campaign you will join the 4th Fighter Group during the first week following the D-day landings, and relive every mission they flew exactly the way they happened 80 years ago. These were meticulously recreated based on original documents and personal accounts with a keen focus on the finest details, allowing you to firsthand experience what it was truly like to take part in ‘The Mighty Endeavor’, one of the greatest military operations in history. - เกม

great videio as usual.
Quick question, are you going to take part in the 4YA ww2 event?
Like video
Now if they'd do some F14 ones I'd be happier than a pig in shit.
Thanks for your enthusiastic support of our throttle. A lot of volunteers in our community contributed to its development so its great to see it being appreciated and recommended.
Missions like this where you don't see combat may not be exciting, but they're great for immersion!
Agreed! I loved this mission. Although I had some performance issues haha. Time to upgrade my GPU I guess 😅
Really? I have 6700xt 12gb vram and run dcs on highest settings without an issue even on biggest of missions @@Wolfpack345
7:50 the vignette of the Allied bomber slowly drifting down to the earth with the remaining dead crew was haunting. Thanks Wolfpack for giving me nightmares!
The editing and production values of your videos just keeps getting better and better. Love the channel, keep up the amazing work!
Thank you!!
Post Scriptum theme in the intro
That was driving me crazy not remembering where I heard it
That is one of the coolest products I've seen come out of a 3d printer.
If I remember correctly from the A2A P-51 in flight sim, the P-51 returns fuel to the left wing tank and that’s typically the first to pull fuel from so that the unused fuel from the other tanks can refill the left wing tank over time
That's interesting. I always thought the one they pulled first was the tank behind the pilot because it messed with the center of gravity.
Both correct. If the left wing is full to brim, must use that first to make space for return fuel. Then switch to rear tank to remove the weight for centre of gravity aiming at about 25. This is saved afterward as reserve fuel. An easy way is to taxi, takeoff and form up using left, then switch to rear for transiting. Thereafter it’s just balancing fuel weight left & right.
Nice one WP Sir!! It's me, yer old Crew Chief... I see that the 'art of landing' is still a little strange to you, even with your new throttle quadrant! Me 'n' the old guys were watching with some slight amusement seeing that ol' familiar bounce on touchdown. Seems no damage was done though so we'll let you off...
Over and out.🙂
Great video, I love your cinematics! When I built the campaign and read the combat reports and squadron records about this mission I was in a dilemma. Basically, they saw no combat. Should I build the mission as it happened and risk being 'boring' or should I spice it up a little? I decided to stick to the historical records, after all that's the biggest added value of these historical campaigns: they recreate events exactly the way they happened. Easy or hard, exciting or boring.
I've been combat flight simming since the late 80s and this is astounding; I haven't done much the last 7 years due to a little brain whoopsie in '17 when I had a stroke in the shower. I did a fair bit of 3rd party stuff at one time for Il2FB/1946 and I need to get RoF back up and running but I'm thinking my sim rig from '20 just won't cut it any more of I want to ex[experience what I just watched.
My newest PC components are 4 years old, CPU/Ram/motherboard is all over 10 years old now, and I'm running everything at full blast, your rig over-all outdoes mine and should be more than sufficient.
I'd sooner look into more advanced peripherals like FFB stick and the like.
@@ToreDL87 always found FFB over-rated. I have older and perfectly good HOTAS, pedals, and Irackir.
@Wolfpack345 I will just pay my respect to your editing and storytelling skills, once again. Even though not much happened, your footage and editing of the same, makes for yet another very entertaining and immersive video. This acknowledgement goes for all other of your content. You gotta love it. Thank you!
20:23 "Boomps a daisy....It's enough to make you weep" - The ground crew 😛
Got a bit of pucker factor when you saw that mass of fighters, and was quite relieved when they turned out to be friendlies.
Wow action packed!! My favorite part is when you dropped the external tanks. Riveting!!!
As a maintainer in the 4th Fighter Wing, it's really cool watching this historical campaign. Keep up the good work!
After watching Master's of the Air, this was superb! 👍
EXCELLENT VIDEO! FIVE STARS !
Is that the post scriptum/squad44 theme at the beginning?
Yup! I'm excited that the game is getting a second life
There's a series thats come out recently called "Master's of the Air". A series about the Bloody 100th Bomb Group based out of Thorpe Abbotts, England. Its a beautifully done series following Buck Clevans, Bucky Eagan, Rosie Rosenthal, and Harry Crosby. Showing the brutality the bomber crews of the Bloody 100th faced bombing Axis targets in Occupied Europe. Is well worth the watch, you'd enjoy the history Wolfpack! Love the P-51 Series! Happy to also see a Silent Hunter Series going on aswell, miss the days of your Type IX Career! Keep up the good work! ❤
That is absolutely beautiful.
Very cool video, nice that you post milk runs too.
WELL DONE!!!
common W wolfpack video
Thanks!
Beautiful film shots. You've got talent, man. Even these "archival" fragments may confuse seasoned viewers of wartime documentaries and newsreels.
Thanks a lot!
new vid yay keep up the good work
Fuel! It does an engine good!
Wolfpack, I beg for a new Career Campaign for IL2. We need a new Yuri Antonov.
(Possibly a campaign for some of the early games, Finland, USMC, USN, etc).
seeing this bomber formation.. i cant wait until "the bloody 100th" get a release date on steam. just watched the series on Apple TV.
while the mission was uneventful, that authentikit looks awesome Wolfpacks gonna have to get an actual hangar to have a setup for each Warbird 🤪
I was just dong bomber support while binging Masters of the Sky. Mind you I am playing IL2.
Would be happy to see a bomber to fly in any sim
That's a flight SIM players wet dream right there!
bloody top turret 8:01
Love the B&W film footage effects at 6:50, really adds to the immersion! 🎥
7:56 RIP
You should try out the VR version of Mighty 8
I'm binge watching and very much enjoying your many campaigns. It's great being able to add one of your playlists to my TH-cam library instead of adding single videos all jumbled in a file I create. Is there a minimum amount of videos needed to create a playlist or do you just create playlists whenever you think of it? { HINT, nudge nudge, wink wink)
It's been a week since the last episode of War on The Sea
A little porpoising on landing, but that happens tobthe best of us :)
I wonder if they make a Boulton Paul turret ? :D
Let's check if they have a P-38 kit
Caen is pronounced like you'd pronounce the english word "can't" without the "t"
Did you use your VR Headset in this vid?? 😮
What is the song in the beginning of the video? Thanks :)
Are you using the new VR on this mission?
nice vid did the germans hat reseve tanks on their planes
Yup they had drop tanks
Good mission
Thanks!
What is that white smoke trailing your fighter & b17 bombers? Is that normal?
Contrails, basically the air is so cold up there at high altitude that the water vapor in plane's exhaust instantly condenses and becomes a small linear cloud
Its 100% normal for planes at high altitude, you can often spot civilian airliners from the ground by their contrails if the conditions are right
Would have been interesting if those mustangs were ones the Germans had captured. 16:16
Oh wow I’m early today
Nice!
Why you open the canopy? Wartime manual states that canopy must be closed and locked during both takeoff AND landing.
It was common practice to open on landing.
Per the P-51 flight manual [www.wwiiaircraftperformance.org/mustang/P-51D-manual-5april44.pdf] it is simply not done. The canopy is closed for takeoff and not opened again until the aircraft is stopped and shut down with all post flight procedures completed. I have never seen pictures of p51's landing with open canopy either period or modern airshows. Do you?@@Wolfpack345
I could find no documentation of this. Not a single picture or any mention of this in writing. I looked at many period photos of P-51's landing and contemporary video of P-51 landings and each and all showed canopy closed during landing. The only photo I could find of a P-51 landing with canopy open was the lone CARRIER trial landings done by a tail-hook modified P-51. I do agree that CARRIER landings were done with canopy open but not airstrip landings. What documentation do you have?@@Wolfpack345
Does any dcs fan think that the whole Normandy II and ww2 asserts pack is worth it? I already have p-51 but struggle with all the extra money
Anybody know of a DCS P-47D mission like this one??? Bomber escort.
Post Scriptum soundtrack in the intro!
Do you have to pay to be able to do careers like this?
Why don’t u use both drop tanks at same time as then they should be consistently equal instead of u making sure they r equal
Wat in the redtails
Can't be all that much cloud cover as if there was, there wouldn't be any flak.
Flak is radar guided
Not in WWII. Wikipedia has a good explanation: "The method of operation during the day was for radar to direct the flak's optical fire control towards the target. Once this was acquired, the flak was controlled by the optical equipment to complete the engagement. During the night, the radar would be used to indicate the target to the search light crews." Radar gave am approximate location but the rest was a manual operation.
JG53 Bf-109K-4 (retractable tailwheel, tail camo) just after D-Day? A little too early.
Sadly only the K4 is in DCS
Bit unrelated, but have you ever tried the Living Silent Hunter 3 mod? Is it comparable to GWX Onealex?
no Dogfights...skipt this ..thank me later .
+
dcs does a better job then Master of air did after costing billions
😁
