Corporal Siefer Journal Entry #9
We want our flyboys out on an emergency scramble today. Seems the krauts have managed to scrape together every last clunker in their air force to mount one last offensive. They really did a number on our boys too. Only one of the p51's we sent out this morning came back in one piece. Bucket of Bolts had to make an emergency landing near an allied airfield and my god was she shot to hell. Both fuel tanks punctured, both flaps blasted clean away, and a few bullet hole in the engine block. I would have been experiencing Deja Vu if it wasn't for the fact the canopy was still intact! I'm afraid that Bucket of Bolts is gonna take quite some time to repair, if she even can be repaired. Battle damage is pretty extensive and with spare parts being hard to come by right now due to the krauts attacking our resupply convoys its gonna be a challenge to get her back in the air. Better go check on Hall as well. He seemed pretty beat up from that landing and from wrecking his bird. I'll bring him some of the whiskey dad sent me. After a day like this we all need a stiff drink...
@GunslingerXXI When I worked for delta after highschool I always took care of pilots when/where I could. In winter I carried a giant thermos of hot coffee and during the summer it was either iced tea, lemonade, or Gatorade. We are all in the same boat with our hats in the ring so to speak. Whether you're working the ramp for an airline or working on the flight line at an airbase you're part of a team effort to get the mission done.
Surviving at all in that situation will probably expand on Justin Hall's mythos of military mastery. Sure, there're aces, but how many aces survived retreating across the line with several enemies on their six and actively firing, while leaking fuel, limping along on damaged engines, and lacking critical control surfaces, and landing gearless in a snowy french wheat field unharmed while the majority of their squadron was killed or wounded, after getting literally the only mission kills across the entire squadron in that sortie?
Somebody made a deal with the devil for sure. The first time he got shot to hell and managed to bring her home was just as bad if not worse than this lol.
In real life, more strange things did happen during the war .
Jesus christ that was a tough fight. If you hadn't been bounced so far from home you might have been able to make it back just in time. The fact that you were able to limp her that far with so much damage and the loss of flight critical systems is impressive in it's own right. Remember that any landing you can walk away from is a good landing. Heres hoping Mr. Hall can keep flying well into the new year and beyond.
Yeah it was pretty tense fight and from the looks of it I didn't even get into the think of it. There were around 30 aircraft engaging each other around my area of operations. It was a massive furr ball everywhere! I was really hoping I would be able to bring Bucket of Bolts back home that engine likes to quit on me when I can just see the aircraft lol. Hopefully Justin can make it to the end. So far I am doing rather well in terms of surviving. Surprisingly..
Since I started watching Hall has in the neighborhood of 23 or 24 kills. Making him a very high scoring Ace. Everyone in America would know who he is, and he'd likely be pulled out of flight ops. Gotta sell those war bonds. But this is an air combat sim.
I am not sure if it should be said that Hall is lucky, or that anyone that flies with him is unlucky.
Either way, I am enjoying the series. Keep it up!
Glad you like it! I'm sure my entire squadron thinks I'm unlucky however haha.
“What’s that down there? Looks like a mustang. Ohhhh I hope that wasn’t a mustang”
Damn that was quite the episode that was some ace piloting and even greater luck, this one had me at the edge of my seat. Good thing Justin Hall survived and we get yet another episode
I'm hoping I can make it to the end of the career! So far I have been mighty lucky.
These videos actually made me try out il2 finally, it does feel refreshing to jump into a warbird for a change from the regular modern jets I play with in DCS. I was wondering, how do you get to start from the runway in the carreer mode? I always start from air.
I read somewhere, I think it was in the excellent book JG 26 - Top guns of the Luftwaffe by Donald Caldwell, that many Luftwaffe pilots suffered from really bad hangovers in the morning of jan 1. Many had celebrated what they thought to be their last new years eve a bit to heavily, thinking that it was to be their last pints of beer.
Interesting! Can't say I am surprised that they were hungover. I heard the same thing about alot of the Allied Pilots.
Funny, you were passing my home town a few times lately. Love the way you pronounce the Flemish names of the towns 😊
Haha that is pretty cool!
now lead trusts you with his ass nice to see you moving up in the squadron keep up the great work mate :)
It felt nice to be second in line! Next stop first!
Let's hope so before the end of the war i reckon they'll make you lead and the head of the squadron you definitely deserve it
Belly landing is fun to do when you have to. I love il2 damage model. Such a great sim. They did the campaigns really good and simple.
Lol..he wants revenge for what i did...awesome
Enjoyed this one!!!
I'll bite. What did you do?
@@jefferynelson nah..in the video when he was limping home he said they want revenge for what i did...at that moment it was funny
15:21 you still have your .45 Wolfpack.
I should have pulled it out.
that was an exciting episode!
I thought so as well!
Your belly landing was smoother than using your landing gear. 😂🤣. But Corporal Siefer prefers your bouncy upright attempts.
Our highest scoring P-51 Ace was killed by our own AAA. George Preddy was killed Dec 25, 1944, during the prelude to Bodenplatte starting officially on Jan1, 1945.
I wish I could like the IL2 WW2 birds but after DCS I just cant. I wish IL2 and DCS would combine forces. One has great physics the other has a great graphics engine, lol.
"Sully my @$$" you're rock Man!!🤙🏻 Nice war story to the grandchildren on mondays barbecue. 💪🏻✋🏻👊🏻.
In real life, Bodenplatte was considered by some as the Army Air Forces version of the Navy's Great Marianas Turkey Shoot.
In the real Battle of Bodenplatte . A P51 got behind a Fokker Wolf 190 and opened fire . The two wings of the 190 folded up like a plane on a aircraft carrier deck . Trapping the pilot in his seat . Unable to get out, he went down with his plane .
Ah, Bodenplatte. Such a great example of doubling down on a really bad idea...
On the other hand, if they'd held on to more of the Luftwaffe and been able to provide at least a little bit of air support on the western front in the months after the Ardennes offensive even more of the country would have ended up being taken by the Red Army, so it was probably a good thing in the long run.
You're alive ! and home. Many of the German pilots at Bodenplatte were GREEN ..so you must have been unlucky to meet good pilots.
Yeah it seems I ran into the bunch of competent pilots. It was not the turkey shoot I was expecting.
You should change your tactic to what erich hartmann wrote in his book. He wrote that your frontview musst be completely obstructed by the enemy bevore you fire your guns.
Another Wolfpack show!
if you get hit by 30mm and 20mm it looks like this..th-cam.com/video/rDOAb_E8EtU/w-d-xo.html...
Wolfpack complains about his gunnery and here's me not being able to hit the water if I fell out of a boat. Great shooting, great flying, Wolfpack!
The paintjob! THE PAINTJOB!!!! Good GRIEF man!!! Out with the paintbucket to paint the Bucket!!
Haha I'm just going for that worn and torn look ;)
Worn and torn? More like battered and tattered at this rate! @The_Raptor I'm gonna be right there with you trying to get this slag heap back in the air!
@@zacharysiefer8272 The Crew's life is not a happy one!!
Was watching Chuck Yeager talk about dogfighting in WWII, he mentioned the German cannon rounds would explode on the surface of the plane and not damage the internals as much as they could have if they'd penetrated into the interior of the plane. He thought the armor piercing incendiaries did a lot more damage (even though it didn't look like it from the outside) since they penetrated deep in the plane's internals and damaged things there. Not sure if it's like that in game, though...you certainly stick with that plane a lot longer than I would have.
Set your sight to same distance as your gun convergence and don't change it! That's how its supposed to work! Your gun convergence can't change in flight!
[Nearly everyone died] "happy new year"😂
Weert is pronounced like 'Weird' but with a 't' at the end :P
Ah thanks!
Well, that was close. I really enjoy your series.
I have to say, the G-suit really makes a huge difference. If you go from playing the mustang to then flying a 109 you really notice how much more you blackout.
Yeah it is a great help during fights.
very cool...
You failed because you decided to go after the fighters and not go after the ground attackers which was your mission.
I followed my Flight Leader.
Really doing well with the gyro gun sight. Pulled off a miracle by surviving!
Yeah I am really starting to like the gyro gunsight!
Obligatory algorithm comment
Thanks!
A brief discussion of ammunition types might be interesting to your viewers.
Good idea!
Here's a common control that you may not have set up, do you have a control setup right now for your radiator?
Radiators on the P-51 are automatic. You can switch it to manual and control it yourself however. The reason my engine was constantly overheating was because my cooling system was hit and I was leaking coolant everywhere.
@@Wolfpack345 ok, however I don't have this game, nor its DLC, but it looks like a f*** ton of fun.
The ol' Bucket of Bolts took quite a beating, hope Zachary will be able to put her back together.
I'm sure he will! He is quite the mechanic!
*the sounds of profanity echo loudly into the night from the hangar* I swear to god if I open up this hatch and find ANOTHER cannon shell in here that hasn't exploded I'm gonna lose my mind. *5 seconds later* Mother****ing C***sucking son of a ***** there's another ****ing shell in here!!
THE AWARD CEREMONY WAS AWESOME!?? IRON MAN!?
Yes this is an iron-man series.
Nice landing actually.
haha thanks!
that was close
Indeed!
Sorry, its way too easy. Not realistic or exciting.
D?
