Those wood and cloth planes sure seemed hard to shoot down, just using bullets. An engine, or pilot shot was the best option. "IF," you were that good a shot!
The Albatros was a beautifull aircraft, plenty of curves,those Niuports do sound like flying lawnmowers!🤣🤣🤪 but there wern't powered lawnmowers in those days, so how were they to know what they sounded like?! 🤣🤣🤪🤪 very entertaining fight ,your ramming attack was pure genius!
Crikey Moses, Taff! I do believe you are stark raving bonkers!!! I don't think that tail gunner could quite believe what he was seeing! He was so dumb-struck he completely forgot what his gun was for! But that was probably one of your finer landings! Now where did my stomach go?
Wow that ramming kill was pretty crazy! And I hate the pistol model in the game. I have no idea where to aim the gun because the model looks like it's pointing about 30 degrees up, so my intuition based on the graphics is that the aim point is near the top of the screen, far from where the pistol is.
Taff, you really aught to give Wings Over Flanders Fields a go. It's not as pretty, or complex, as FC, but the immersion is much more serious. They've got a big 2-seater update coming out soon where you'll be able to drop notes to frontline HQs to deliver information, along side photo recon and arty radio work.
I second this. WoFF is _the_ single player WW1 experience. Some clunky dated FMs and graphics to contend with but the feel of it is like no other Edit: oh, and the AI opponents are pretty amazing…you can really tell a rookie from an ace…
If only you could do a simulation of Captain Strange’s falling out, holding onto his Lewis Gun and subsequent falling back in and breaking the seat of his Martinsyde S.1! What a show that would be!
I've always enjoyed flight sims, especially combat flight sims. But I've never had the opportunity to try WW I combat aircraft. As much as I enjoyed them, sometimes it could be depressing. Thinking about air to air combat, and all those young men around the world, lost.
Congrats on the day's hunting Baron Von Exile! 🍻 Perhaps use the flare gun AFTER the improvised landing because using it for combat is a bit on the ambitious side. 😅
What you need to do before you mount on wings is to be informed of wing structure & design & if you’ve overloaded the aircraft/not but if you’re too silly for that,gl & goodbye.
Is there something going on wonky with the flight model/ guns models? Those twin-seaters should've gone down a lot easier than they did- especially the one that lost the elevator.
Meat or metal. Rise of Flights damage models were baby mode, with an attempt to balance it by making the MGs into scatterguns. You have to hit something important on these kites to break them.
Constantly choosing to go at a lower altitude,proves you’re silly.Pennants always stream backwards & that should not be.So far there does not seem to be any rudder/aileron movement.If the game does not allow it,why not?Without such movements,the Immelmann turn,is impossible.Perhaps,thats why it does not happen in the game.
16:35 you can actually see that he lands a hit in mid-flight with the pistol, there's a little puff coming from the wing (?)
Von Taff you are a total nutcase!
Excellent stuff, time for schnapps unt medals I think.
Pax.
Any landing you can walk away from is a good one!!!! Great job,Taff!!!!!
the last observer plane's gunner tells the pilot on the way down.... He is a free kill you said, He has no ammo you said, tea and medals you said.
Bouncing home with Taff. Just bring one of those trees down and carve yourself a new propeller with your trench knife.
Brilliant flight.
16:35 damned if it doesnt look like you clipped his wing with your pistol, banging shot mate.

The Albatross D.Va is my all around favorite. Thanks for the fun vid.

Nice job all 'round, Taff. Pretty damned daring at the end but you got away with it...well done! Great to see you doing more of WW1. Cheers.
Brilliant control crash knocking them out of sky
I watched this video again. I don't usually watch them more than once! That is how good it was! Keep em coming Taff!

Nice to see you back in the kites Taff! I’ve been missing it. Great job🤘
That really was a fun episode.
If this was Cliffs of Dover that gunner would have sniped you first bullet, right through the goggles at 600 yards! Really enjoy your videos BTW!
What a tour de force that was! Well done! Hey! Just thought, that last one was well in range of your flare pistol, lol!
Or regular pistol
Super great one today Taff Great flying.
Well done on that forced crashed. Very cool.
That was sick well done sir
nicely done Taff
Pretty cool Taff
Excellent 👍 top job Taff 👏🏴
What a sortie... 👍

Yay! proper aeroplanes! Not sure what that 2 seater was - looked like a DH 4
Well that was impressive, well done Taff.
If only you could do a simulation of Captain Strange’s falling out, holding onto his Lewis Gun and subsequent falling back in and breaking the seat of his Martinsyde S.1! What a show that would be!
Wings fall off aircraft and gunner calmly turns away from his gun and calmly sits down and awaits his fate.....
It was either that or jumping out without a chute in real life too in those times
I’ve heard if you jump at the last second…
What a kill at the end :)
gutsy move at the end... I’m surprised your bird survived that mid-air.
Interesting kill with the wing scrape!
I'm pretty sure that you wouldn't have attempted that "Fox 4" at the end if you were in Career Mode. 😉
You actually did hit him in the wing there at 16:34
That two seater looks like its a DH 9 .
Watched and 👍 Liked
That should earn you a Blaue Max! 😅
More of this!!!!!

Definitely eventful 🤔

That deserved the Blue Max for covering your comrades ass in spite of having no ammo.
You should try multiplayer it a lot of fun flugpark server is cool
Any awards for this mission?

You wouldn’t get away with that stunt in a Bf-109!
So, is the Albatross the only WWI aircraft that actually looks like an airplane instead of a cardboard school project?
Was this part of a career or a mission you set up?
Are you using track/ir when playing this?
Yep, that's what he uses...nice piece of kit and so needed in IL-2.
@@kevpeters2537 Thanks. I have the tobii and have never been able to get it to work.
taff could you do a Japanese or any Pacific Theatre faction campaign if they exist?
Is there something going on wonky with the flight model/ guns models? Those twin-seaters should've gone down a lot easier than they did- especially the one that lost the elevator.

who need guns when you have a propeller blade XD
Do you have unlimited ammunition?
Nieuport 28!!!! The Americans have arrived!!!
The Albatros D.Va, proof that just because a plane is beautiful doesn’t mean it isn’t a disappointment
So I haven't found a pilot career for the Flying Circus content, is this one of the scripted campaigns you're playing?
Yesterday was my birthday.
DH4s
I think you've had enough time gallivanting in different ac. Please please start a new career!
