unless attacking with 30mm cannons, always aim between the engines to ignite the fuel tanks when attacking b-29. when these tanks burst into fire they will explode in less than a minute - the structure of the plane in general is so fucking thick that you can hammer bullets into it quite endlessly and the bird just keeps flapping.
This is not supposed to be an accurate representation of reality. That's why the video title begins with: "IL-2 1946:". I'm showing off the game, not history. If you point out that the gunners don't fire, you will immediately get banned from my comment section. Buy some glasses!
Tried this one on one with the latest Japanese fighters of the period, and discovered it was extremely difficult to shoot down a B-29. At least in a "realistic" mode.
A zero's top speed was 331mph. Later versions....maybe 350. Top speed in a B-29 was 360. The Zero never would have caught the B-29's. And are the B=29 gunners playing cards, or sleeping while the attack is underway?
I thought about how and if i should respond to this. I probably shouldn't. Anyway, i'll tell you my opinion. I have to point out that this is a highlight video. It might look easy to shoot a B-29 down from my perspective. It is not. We had big issues catching those 29s at that altitude and player 29s would have been able to go even faster and higher. We lost about the same amount of fighters as the US did lose bombers. Your first statement has nothing to do with the scenario at hand. "A zero's top speed was 331mph. Later versions ... maybe 350". This scenario plays at ~28.000 feet, you should talk about the speed of the zero at that altitude. Your second statement has nothing to do with the scenario at hand. "Top speed in a B-29 was 360." (mp/h) Top speed is measured when a plane goes at full power, without any bombs, with a minimum of fuel and at optimal height. The B-29s over Japan cannot apply full power (Due to reliability issues), are loaded with bombs, are loaded with fuel and aren't operating at optimal height. B-29 top speed is 570+ km/h, cruising speed is ~350 km/h. I was very generous when i let the B-29s fly at 650 (!) km/h in the video. You need to talk about the B-29s speed with the needed bomb and fuel load. In reality you also would have think about reliability. (Reliability is no issue for AI in IL-2) I'd like to agree with your third statement, i also like the 29, but i think it's wrong. "The Zero never would have caught the B-29's." A Zero with 20% fuel might very well have better flight charachteristics than a (probably damaged) B-29 with 60% fuel and 5 to 10 tons of bombs. When it comes to the gunners, try playing such a mission yourself. It's normal to get a headshot in a head on attack. I cannot edit the gunners' behaviour, at least it is not my fault.
your description of the difficulty of shooting down B-29s does not sound unlike the historical situation, the B-29 was after all a state of the art aircraft at the time and I'm sure multiple kills in any case were rare for a single Japanese fighter pilot.
May I ask, would there be any way to add intercom communication of the B-29 crew, radio communications and scenes inside the bomber? Also the same in the fighter aircraft? Could these scenes and sounds be added now? Thanks I am just not very knowledgeable.
Also, planes are NOT in a good defensive "box". In Korea, those who maintained the "Box" seldom lost aircraft, even with 37mm armed Mig-15s around. If your box wasn't tight, you'd lose a plane/two. A lot IS dependent on the game.
It's a part of the VPmodpack. The engines do the sound when the plane does a dive and goes very fast. In this case, the wind is very strong and the plane goes fast enough to trigger the effect.
Lots of aircraft make interesting sounds at full power like whistling and supercharger whine but I doubt anyone on the other aircraft is going to hear anything.
All planes in world war two made a howling sound in any dive not just the stukas how ever the stukas had a siren the pilot turned in prior to the dive bomb run to enhance the sound and put fear in ground troops on the ground
idk if at 15:10 was just a stupid ramming thing you did in-game but didn't the japanese really do this sometimes? Only if they were like guaranteed dead or shot down then they'd do this right? It's like the story of the betty being critically damaged then trying to kamikaze into the Enterprise in 1942.
Japanese fighter pilots found it so hard to shoot down a single B-29 they did often ram them, but always from an extreme angle and not from the direct rear. Honda Minoru I believe was his name, ex fighter pilot and flying ace of the IJAAF said in an interview that if he had been on patrol at the time just prior to the Nagasaki bombing that he would’ve rammed the B-29 carrying the nuclear bomb if he had the chance to.
Many B-29 missions were unescorted. No other aircraft could go that far. Iwo Jima, from which the escorts eventually operated, was captured very late in the war. Get your facts straight before you complain, thx.
Second one today? B-29 raids only were escorted once Iwo Jima was captured in March 1945, most B-29 missions were unescorted, because the targets were way out of range for any fighter. The distance from Tinian to Tokyo is 2400km. Compared to that, the 900km between England and Berlin - which is 'short' enough for Mustangs - is pretty short. The longest B-29 missions were over 4000km long, flown from India to South Japan.
Just an FYI, B29s wouldn’t go down so easily. If one engine goes out it can still fly. Also the gunners didn’t shoot but if they did then the Japanese planes would’ve gone down hella quick.
Again, the myth that b29’s were invincible or simply weren’t reached by Japanese fighters during the late stages of the war is simply false. B29’s were shot down over Japan in their hundreds by flak AND enemy fighters.
You could try Kuban once it's released (ETA: December) has the Kuban region which is very nice looking, and some Lend Lease planes like the P-39L, A-20B and Spitfire in the premium version.
I would still be playing this game right now if it had vr, but i cant go back to a 2d cockpit now. I did get vr sort of working but it did not work well enough. Man i miss zipping around in a zero.
@@Fishyyy Thank you. Yes it makes sense considering the range of the escort fighters. Distances in the Pacific are of another level than in Europe, and besides the islands there is no way to capture or build airfields on the ocean.
There would not be much point bailing out of a B29 over Japan. Most captured aircrew were executed as far as I am aware. Better to hang on for a ditching near some friendly shipping?
Such great original Japanese footage from WW2. Everything looks so clear and I'm not even wearing my glasses. Doesn't look like American Kodak Kodachrome, must be some type of Fuji film.
Every mod that has been used is stated in the description, with forum link. I don't like the siren sound at high speed either, but it's part of the mod and i won't get rid of it. The fighters do the sound, when they reach their highest possible speed, before breaking into pieces. They are so fast, because of the massive rear winds of the jet stream. The 29s move at ~650 km/h on the way to the target and ~430 km/h on the way back, because of the influence of the wind.
Could Japanese fighters(mainly Raidens and Ki-84s) climb even higher and dive down on B-29s? I guess such attack would have been more effective than head on
It is. Japanese pilots hated it So much that it was soon replaced with N1K2 which has wings attsched lower in the fuselage. That made the difference and N1K2 was absolutely loved by japanese pilots
I have a small problem with this video: the last zero model was the only fighter modified to combat B-29's. (Quote) "A6M5-S (A6M5 Yakan Sentōki) - Armament change: To intercept B-29s and other night-flying aircraft, an air arsenal converted some Model 52s to night fighters.[70] They were armed with one 20 mm Type 99 cannon behind the pilot, aimed upward, similar in intent to the Luftwaffe's Schräge Musik installation.[71] However, lack of radar prevented them from being very effective." Zero specs, ceiling: 10,000 m (32,810 ft) B-29 specs: Ceiling: 33,600 ft. The zero is about 1,200 feet short of the max ceiling height of the B-29 [yet] the game sim shows the Zero about level, or above, which is clearly an ERROR!
It's a game, it's not going to be a 100% accurate, still here are some points: The B-29 missions were flown at different altitudes, not all at the highest one possible. The raw data for the service ceiling does not tell the whole story. The weight difference between a fully loaded and an empty B-29 is over 26 tons, obviously a nearly empty one will be able to climb higher, then one that is loaded with tons of fuel, bombs and ammunition. A very light B-29 might be able to escape, while a loaded one might not be able to. The idea that japanese fighters couldn't reach B-29s is a myth anyway. If you read the US bombing survey, you will notice that sometimes hundreds of fighter attacks were reported by the B-29 crews. I'm sure they did count a lot of them multiple times, but it's a fact that the japanese fighters did reach them. By the way, I tested how high I can get in a B-29. (Insert stoner joke here) The answer is 44616ft or 13599m, I could not reach that altitude with any japanese fighter. imgur.com/jmAZ1lJ The IL-2 flight model data also states that a B-29 is faster then a Fw-190D-9 at over 9000m or ~30000ft. The makers of IL-2 did do their homework.
The B-40 is a heavily modified B-17 with lots of extra .50 cal Machine guns added to protect itself from German fighters. Obviously not a B-29 Superfortress
Someone needs to get their eyes checked, or get a history lesson as these aircraft are obviously B-29's and N1K1 or Ki-84's. Next time do some research before commenting, because you made yourself look like an Idiot Darius MC.
These Japanese should have shown the Germans how it was done. Their 30s tech was much better than the German 40s tech. Seriously how did the Japanese defenders manage to get up to the heights B29s flew at in any numbers? That fact and the power of mass M2HBs on lightly built aircraft sure ain't getting any love here
In reality, the B29 would've been hard to reach at the higher altitudes they flew, and for lower altitude bombing runs, they would most likely have had P51 Mustang escorts! By the time the B29 came out, the American Army dominated the skies! Those P51 Mustang pilots actually ran out of thing to destroy the last couple months of the war, and Tokyo had been destroyed by Curtis Lemay's fire bombing! Total domination of Japan, land, air, and sea! That Zero would've lasted a couple of minutes with all those P51s flying around! The saying was, "If it flies it dies"...….
It's a game and not supposed to be an accurate representation of reality, but anyway, some of your points are wrong. The idea that japanese fighters couldn't reach B-29s is a myth. The united states bombing survey states that the B-29 crews counted over 10.000 attacks done by japanese fighters. I'm sure they counted some double, but they happened regularly. There are multiple japanese pilots with more then one B-29 kill. B-29s were damn hard to kill, but it wasn't impossible in any way. In 1944, when the first raids against Japan happened, the B-29s flew unescorted. They flew from India and China to Japan at distances of over 2600 miles. Mustang B-29 escort missions happened when the B-29s flew from the Mariana islands, i.e. Saipan, Guam and Tinian, at a distance of about 1500 miles. The Mustangs couldn't even go that range all the way. They were stationed in between Japan and the Marianas, at Iwo Jima, which is 760 miles away from Tokyo. Iwo Jima was captured in march '45, all B-29 raids before that were unescorted. Why would Mustangs only cover them when they were "lower"? A mustang is faster then a B-29 at every altitude, they can cover them at any altitude. This again shows, that you assume, that a B-29 is faster then anything else, which is wrong. I'm not saying that the IL-2 flight models are completely accurate, but the makers did do their homework. This is a graphic of TAS vs Altitude for a B-29 compared to a Ki-84: imgur.com/a/4aOUPRE The japanese fighter is faster.
Why do people think Japan only had Zeros? They had a bunch of fighters that were not only fast but had great performance the ones you see here are the N1K and Ki84s proberly some of the bets performing fighters in the Pacific. Fast, great climb, deadly weapons, good turn.
Most B-29 missions were unescorted. The point of B-29s is that they can fly very far. Mustangs could only reach japan after iwo jima was captured, the 29s operated from bases that would have been way out of range for Mustangs.
This reminds me of my country Burma during world war 2 my great grand parents told my dad and my dad told me a Hamaki (Betty bomber)tried to bomb their house but the bomb never exploded
B-29 raids only were escorted once Iwo Jima was captured in March 1945, most B-29 missions were unescorted, because the targets were way out of range for any fighter. The distance from Tinian to Tokyo is 2400km. Compared to that, the 900km between England and Berlin - which is 'short' enough for Mustangs - is pretty short. The longest B-29 missions were over 4000km long, flown from India to South Japan.
Japanese fighters were about the last thing B-29 crews had to fear, especially after the switch to night firebombing. If a Superfortress was going to catch on fire, the most likely culprit was one of its own insufficiently tested engines.

Fighters don't attack in a straight line, all ways in an angle or turning in an arc, so gunner have hard time to hit them.
Tried this one on one with the latest Japanese fighters of the period, and discovered it was extremely difficult to shoot down a B-29. At least in a "realistic" mode.
In reality it was hard to get near the B-29s with the escort Fighters hanging around
It was always hard to get close to B-29 formations. Escorts and the gunner AI tore fighters to shreds

Yermak29 There's actual footage of the war of Zeros attacking B-29s and they could get close to them.
being weighed down by bombs is no doubt a factor.

I wish they would make this work in VR. I know the newer IL-2 is but the mission variety is not there.
I tried to strafe the B29 in the game with Zero and N1K1 but i get hit too bad because The Gunner was too strong
Gunners in il2 are like super humans you can make a past in a bomber formation at 900km/h and be hit really bad
Yes! Thank you so much Fishyyy!

Battle of Stalingrad?
Yes, or Battle of Moscow. They should release Battle of Kuban in few months and pacific theater maybe next year.
I don't know yet. At the moment i'm not motivated to try any of those.

imgur.com/jmAZ1lJ
The IL-2 flight model data also states that a B-29 is faster then a Fw-190D-9 at over 9000m or ~30000ft. The makers of IL-2 did do their homework.

engine with turbocharger
I love anything Todo with world war one and world war two you know those fly boys on all sides were brave
The Mitsubishi J2M raiden was designed to intercept the B-29.
These dont quite look like Raidens thou.
Way better than Atari i had growing up with. Lucky bastards.
15:20 tenno heika banzaiiiiii!!
Nice vid', thanks
Jesus, I would love to have VP but I'm afraid its too much work
Any other options to downloading.
Find somebody who already has a working VP installation, give him a visit and copy it on a usb stick :D
Lucky I installed it last night, I cant seem to extract it with 7Zip, and all the files appear to be "001, 002" etc files.
You have any idea whats goin on?
You asked for an alternative to downloading. Copying from somebody else.
There's a video installation guide in the VP thread...
1946? The war finished at 1945
Enio Lima not on IL2 bro
Why did that B29 take a nose dive after only one engine was hit?
I think I might buy a laptop just to soley play war thunder and il 2 1946
cool. thanks alot!
If it wasn’t Japan attacking and instead B-17 this is practically the Red tails scene
Final impresionante..
These Japanese should have shown the Germans how it was done. Their 30s tech was much better than the German 40s tech.
Seriously how did the Japanese defenders manage to get up to the heights B29s flew at in any numbers? That fact and the power of mass M2HBs on lightly built aircraft sure ain't getting any love here
What "30's tech"? Japan was barely even using one or two fighters from the 1940's lmao. Most of germanys tech came from the mid 30's......
Not a zero
When will this game get to realise to android
@@chilledlemonade Ok thanks
In reality, the B29 would've been hard to reach at the higher altitudes they flew, and for lower altitude bombing runs, they would most likely have had P51 Mustang escorts! By the time the B29 came out, the American Army dominated the skies! Those P51 Mustang pilots actually ran out of thing to destroy the last couple months of the war, and Tokyo had been destroyed by Curtis Lemay's fire bombing! Total domination of Japan, land, air, and sea! That Zero would've lasted a couple of minutes with all those P51s flying around! The saying was, "If it flies it dies"...….
It's a game and not supposed to be an accurate representation of reality, but anyway, some of your points are wrong.
The idea that japanese fighters couldn't reach B-29s is a myth. The united states bombing survey states that the B-29 crews counted over 10.000 attacks done by japanese fighters. I'm sure they counted some double, but they happened regularly. There are multiple japanese pilots with more then one B-29 kill. B-29s were damn hard to kill, but it wasn't impossible in any way.
In 1944, when the first raids against Japan happened, the B-29s flew unescorted. They flew from India and China to Japan at distances of over 2600 miles. Mustang B-29 escort missions happened when the B-29s flew from the Mariana islands, i.e. Saipan, Guam and Tinian, at a distance of about 1500 miles. The Mustangs couldn't even go that range all the way. They were stationed in between Japan and the Marianas, at Iwo Jima, which is 760 miles away from Tokyo. Iwo Jima was captured in march '45, all B-29 raids before that were unescorted.
Why would Mustangs only cover them when they were "lower"? A mustang is faster then a B-29 at every altitude, they can cover them at any altitude. This again shows, that you assume, that a B-29 is faster then anything else, which is wrong. I'm not saying that the IL-2 flight models are completely accurate, but the makers did do their homework. This is a graphic of TAS vs Altitude for a B-29 compared to a Ki-84:

The japanese fighter is faster.
Why do people think Japan only had Zeros? They had a bunch of fighters that were not only fast but had great performance the ones you see here are the N1K and Ki84s proberly some of the bets performing fighters in the Pacific. Fast, great climb, deadly weapons, good turn.
Wait where’s the P 51 escort?
Most B-29 missions were unescorted. The point of B-29s is that they can fly very far. Mustangs could only reach japan after iwo jima was captured, the 29s operated from bases that would have been way out of range for Mustangs.
Fishyyy Thanks for telling me I liked this video Pretty Accurate
This reminds me of my country Burma during world war 2 my great grand parents told my dad and my dad told me a Hamaki (Betty bomber)tried to bomb their house but the bomb never exploded
Also I heard that the B-29 could fly higher than most Japanese aircraft and flak.
@@sargesacker2599 that's a lie. Not true.
terrible times for humanity

Tenno heika BANNNNNNNNNNZAAAAAAAIIIIIII
Where's my P51 fighter screen????😱
B-29 raids only were escorted once Iwo Jima was captured in March 1945, most B-29 missions were unescorted, because the targets were way out of range for any fighter. The distance from Tinian to Tokyo is 2400km. Compared to that, the 900km between England and Berlin - which is 'short' enough for Mustangs - is pretty short. The longest B-29 missions were over 4000km long, flown from India to South Japan.
Japanese fighters were about the last thing B-29 crews had to fear, especially after the switch to night firebombing. If a Superfortress was going to catch on fire, the most likely culprit was one of its own insufficiently tested engines.
I read the US bombing survey, B-29 crews stated they were attacked about 10.000 times by japanese fighters.
And was "GEKKO" night fighter the one that Japan developed against?
Why hate Japan?
Krzysztof OBCY 8 why not they still hate you .
Die B-29 sind ja echt hart im nehmen
or four engines!
Soviet imitation Tu-4
*Japanese Zero:* Shoots B-29. B-29 has nuke in it. *Japanese Zero* We’ll be right back
