I tested flight with Me 262 against V1 bomb just for experiment. It seems that you can damage its elevator by hitting it with wing tip but the bomb pulls up and starts turning like regular plane AI
A lot of people believed that the engine cutting off caused the bomb to dive. Not quite. After a preset distance had been flown, a compressed air valve opened and pushed the elevator down. It was intended to be a full power dive for added destructive effect, but so violent was the downward pitching motion it caused fuel starvation in the gravity fed carburettor on top of the engine air intake. This caused an immediate flameout and the engine could not restart. The sudden cutout gave people a few seconds warning to take cover, but it was never an intended feature of the weapon.
That's interesting. My aunt heard one coming and sent my two cousins to the bomb shelter in the back garden. But the engine cut out while she was still in the kitchen and she froze. The house was totally destroyed. But rescuers found my aunt wedged in a little space between the collapsed kitchen door and the stove. She had a few pieces of glass stuck in her face but was otherwise unhurt.
My mum was walking my uncle in his pram when she heard a doodlebug cut out - she was able to rush to a shelter before it landed nearby. Horrifying to think how many more would have been killed without that 'warning' (as was the case with the V-2 of course)
@@npatrcevic It's on TH-cam. I saw a detailed video on the Fieseler Fi 103 aka V1 recently that explains in great detail the mechanism. 1 in 10 missiles carried a transmitter so that the launch sites could confirm range and bearing. There were proposals for command guidance in real time by raio link, but this was deemed unlikely to be successful and prone to jamming and other countermeasures (such as targetting the command signal sites) This could have led to missiles able to change course and altitude making interception very difficult.
What a gorgeous sim! I imagine the system requirements are pretty high now. My last experience with this sim was Forgotten Battles 1946 and I thought that was cool. This is amazing.
It's no longer the same simulator. Other people own it, and the project has turned into the implementation of the "It's business - nothing personal" programme. I truly believe that the old IL-2 simulator is many times better than this one, even with the ability to ride in tanks and choose a female pilot instead of a male pilot.
I remember my wing-tapping of V1 in IL-2 46 back in the day.. It was always the deal of kinematic momentum, so you need equalize your speed and altitude with V1 like a flight with your wingman and then you should heavely sweep your wing into lateral axis, it is should be very harsh and sharp movement of V1 wing, then gyroscope of V1 will not have time to react and correct flight overall and V1 will lose control.
@@LongTran-em6hc That oldschool '46 even had one mission about interception V1. Well, yeah, it has some problems here and there with collisions and sometimes it is very funny because of it, but overall physic flight models can allow such wing-tapping things as well or similar collisions until it will not affect plane's center of gravity or critical units, engine elements around it. P.S. Hello there, old virpil. :) I've been played classic IL-2 since it came ~in 2001.
@@sometimesidreamaboutcheese Can't believe that I missed that after all these years! I installed almost every mods that ever came out of SAS1946 and freemodding. I had way too much fun with '46, what an amazing game and community! My first encounter with IL-2 is around '06-07, on my uncle's PC. I borrowed a 2GB USB stick to copy it back to my family's computer, and was extremely dissapointed with the 2-3fps that it provided. Even so, I did find out how to start the engine and take off. I was 7-8 yo at the time and did not know any English word at the time. Together with Vice City and San Adreas, IL-2 made my childhood way more enjoyable lol
What a shame that wing flipping doesn 't work. Hopefully the devs will make that happen. BTW did it land exactly where you set up it for or is there some randomization built in?
The devs said they plan to eventually improve the flight characteristics of the V-1 and hopefully then wing flipping will become possible. I set the waypoint on the edge of the town, it landed pretty close maybe one or two hundred metres away.
V-1 can be flipped now. But now there is a possibility that the autopilot with some probability will be able to return the rocket to the course even after a deep roll - and this is will be improved.
My grandpa always said : We where happy when we heard the engine of the bomb. But as soon as it fell silent everyone tried to run for cover or just lie down wherever they where with thier hands protecting the back of thier heads and hoped it fell far away.
Many were in fact launched at night, but I feel like it would be easier to track them because the flame probably emitted a lot of light. (Sorry for the late reply!)
In the Mk.14, I don't think you'll be able to catch up to a V-1 if you're giving chase at the same altitude without having any speed boost from a dive. However, usually the V-1 flies below 1000m, so just by being a couple hundred metres above it, you'll easily catch up with one in a dive.
i wish they made a similar thing as ground targets in quick mission editor but they shall call it air targets wich would be v1s and they would be flying around for you to escort/shoot down
Yes, I know. But it doesn't matter how well you do it, the V-1 will regain control and continue heading towards its desired target. As stated in the pinned comment, the wing tipping physics will be improved later on and then it'll be possible tip one out of the sky.
Once the V-1 reaches its supposed target, the control surfaces lock up forcing it into a dive. It was very inaccurate but was effective against a city.
Regarding the wing tipping physics (to knock the V-1 off its flight path), it'll be added sometime in the future.

I actually didn't know that, thanks for the little history lesson 👍
No real way to determine the cause of the flameout in the testing...

Would be scary if they also added V-2 Sites, which you have to attack before they launch
Yeah, would be cool seeing them launch
Oh shit it's the funi plane crazy man!!!
Spottings V1s is a total bitch, they fly so quickly at low altitudes

great vid! How did you manage to get so close to the V1, i keep trying to dive to the V1 but without success. i find it very hard!
It's challenging, but once you're in a good position, you'll catch up to with ease.
👍👍👍 Top
You need to do more than the slight tipping of wings. You need to really pull on wing tip to flip or
to throw the gyro scope off.
Always wondered why the Germans didn’t launch all their V-1’s at night….they would have been much more difficult to intercept or hit from the ground
Many were in fact launched at night, but I feel like it would be easier to track them because the flame probably emitted a lot of light. (Sorry for the late reply!)
1:54 nice cinematic shot
wow,the v1 sounds realistic
hows normandy? is it good? im thinking of getting it.
It is very good. Best of the series so far. If you like WW2 air combat well worth the price.
100% worth it!
I need to give it a shot then. I have all the expansions, but I haven't played in around 6 months. Too lazy to set all my sticks and VR back up
懐かしいありがとうございました❤️
Great vid but should it be possible to catch up with the V1 in a spit?

Yes it was quite common for spit pilots to intercept them

You need to flip the V1 with the birds wing.
you are to use your left wing, go under and flip the V-1's wing by banking away to your right....not using your wing tip to push.....! ! !
Yes, I know. But it doesn't matter how well you do it, the V-1 will regain control and continue heading towards its desired target. As stated in the pinned comment, the wing tipping physics will be improved later on and then it'll be possible tip one out of the sky.
Doesn't the V-1 bank violently after burnout to make sure it doesn't glide beyond its target?
Once the V-1 reaches its supposed target, the control surfaces lock up forcing it into a dive. It was very inaccurate but was effective against a city.
how do you spawn the v1???
In the mission editor
V-1を艦艇からカタパルト発進させて米誘導爆弾バット(レーダー誘導)の誘導装置を組み込めば初歩的な誘導ミサイルを作れそうだね。
Cool flying ! Are these V1's available in quick missions yet or later ? Thx
Yup, there are V-1 intercept missions in the quick mission generator.
When will this be released? I just installed the Normandy DLC, but didn't see it on a list or mission.
Check quick mission generator.
It's already released. As Gavrick89 already said, check the quick mission generator.
