Full IL-2 1946 mission: Me-163 Komet 

DISCLAIMER, please read before commenting: 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 of the game, not history.

It's so crazy that people actually did this in real life.

What a scary thing to encounter as a bomber crew. So fast its hard to hit

some good kills ripping through the allied bombers

Yo creo que es el mejor vuelo y eficaz combate que jamás he visto. One of the very most amizing fly and battle I have never seen. Gracias mil por la experiencia.

Like they say- any landing that doesn’t drive your spine through the top of your skull or splash you with liquids that instantly dissolve human flesh is a good landing.

Man gets more kills in one mission than the Me-163 did in it's entire career.

Very informative thank you

Lol those escorts really wanted to get you at the end

For it's time, very good!

That looked like a lot of fun.

This appears to be a “what-if” throttle-able ME-163…which I think they may have been working on, or a dual engine chamber one….one engine for take off and one for cruise…

Outstanding Presentation. Well Done Sir.

such a pretty little bird

Good content

Very accurate

See Fishyyy, THIS was the very attack pattern I was trying to describe before... Not a frontal nor rear attack. But across the wings of the bombers, swooshing back and forth! The 163 is fast, but this same attack worked for me in a Mustang. Dive in and ain=m for a wing or engine and fire! Then swoosh back up, flying away from the bombers, climbing and heading ahead of them! I was glad to see you doing this, I feel vindicated!

Lol i read the disclaimer glad i did cause i was bout to lose my ish love the sim tho.

12:52 - I thought you were going to have company, and be greeted by a hail of .50 caliber bullets while skidding to a stop. Then 13:03 happened, and I was like "WTF?!" Did friendly AA get him? Maybe you should have been awarded an manuevering kill?

With enough fuel the Me-163 could have been real trouble but that was neva going to happen.

Sind diese "Pendelangriffe" auch mit einer Me 262 machbar, oder sogar mit einer Fw 190 Sturmbock?

ROCKET MAAAAN... 🎼🎵🎶 😎🍿🌎🧐🍿🌍🙃🍿🌏👼🍿🌌

Imagine 20 mins in the air. If you were lucky

there has been only one delta wing, rudderless, rocket powered aircraft to fly, the Space Shuttle

Long Live to Germany☀️🇩🇪🦁, congratulations From Krangi singapore☀️🇸🇬, salam malekum, I love you Germany☀️🇩🇪🦁 GREAT PEOPLE☀️🇩🇪🦁.

Sorry, you ran out of fuel halfway through.

Nice video. Textbook attacks. Good fuel/engine management. Excellent gunnery. Smart final approach. Well done. I'd recommend this video to anyone who wants to enjoy Me 163 in Il-2 airsim.

Glad to see the T-Stoff didn't come into the cockpit and melt the pilot

My dad was a bombardier in a B-17G during WWII and told stories occasionally about the German fighters. He saw Me 262s on a few occasions but never saw the Comet. But the tactics he described we exactly what you were doing here except usually they would try to come in from the front either head on or quarter on. They didnt hang around very long or they would get shot down. That's why they tried to never approach the bombers from behind.

Nice air combat simulator this is. Really fun to see the Komet "in action". In reality the Komet did only one or two passes at full speed and then it was extremely difficult to aim the cannons. Also, due to the unreliability of the rocket engine this interceptor was more lethal to the pilots that had the balls to fly it than to the enemy. If they could have made the engine running at intermediate speed for combat it would have had longer endurance and it would also be possible to score more hits. This was planned for the Me163C, but it was never realized. In the Me163B the engine was only on/off. Another disadvantage was when gliding back to base the Komet became an easy prey for piston-engined fighters. Finally , landing on a single skid often led to accidents, either compressing the pilots vertebra or making the plane tip over, which often ignited any fuel left and led to fatal explosions. Besides this, the Komet airframe was based on a glider design and had excellent flying characteristics. A milestone in aviation history. The Bell X-1 was partially based on the Komet design and, piloted by Chuck Yeager, was the first aircraft to "officially" break the sound barrier.

Imagine the nuts it took to fly one. No fear for sure, or just enough

Hanna Reitsch was a test pilot of the Me-163 - that was a badass lady. The Me-163 (with the monsterous rocket-engine turned off) is probably still the fastest glider ever.

ME-163 sim in a game?? COOL!! Although I understand _why,_ it STILL amazes me the Komet was the _only_ rocket-propelled fighter aircraft EVER used in combat....

Just the most awesome video- fantastic job! It's more like Star Wars than anything else- and to imagine this was just 40 years after the Wright Brothers.

Amazing edit of an amazing game! Your deflection shooting is really good btw!

Love it. You've really got those high speed passes down.

Nicely executed maneuvers, really good fuel and armament management. Not so many videos out there are as good. I keep good memories from Il2 1946. The new IL2 BOS and their expansions are nice looking but still something is missing from the original. Sometimes I feel the AI in the original IL21946 was more challenging and maneuvered better. Keep it up!.

in realility more Me 163.s were lost on landing than in actual combat that C-stoff and T-stoff used for fuel would melt the pilot if it came into contact with him these guys who flew them must have had balls of steel [except for Hanna Reich of course]

The part of the Komet that stunk for the pilots was the trail they left like reverse tracer saying "shoot here"

Great vid! Masterfully done

to think that the Komet actually flew in combat :-O wonder what the allies thought when they saw it

Very nice vid! And very accurate from historical perspective. Keep up the good job!

Very well flown ,sir!

Mighty fine gunmanship!

Gutes Video. Gefällt mir das du noch IL-2 Videos machst.

Love the vid. The hawker typhoons couldn’t touch the komet once its jets were on. Even though it was deadly to fly this is one of my fav aircraft of ww2. Nothing could touch it. I think it went over 600 mph. DAMN

2018 and pepole are still playing this game, wow

Beautifully well done

Imagine swarms of these attacking massive formations if the war somehow went on longer

I don’t care what you say, the komet is still one of my favorite aircraft.

Great game this one & Nice gameplay again✌👌

Great video I love this game it's one of the best I've played in 30 years since Chuck Yeager days.the only thing I didn't like is the Komet only had 6 minutes of fuel and generally only got one good pass through the bomber formations.but it was great tactics exactly how the Komet operated and how mad was the sound of the plane when it's gliding down into the bombers.I enjoyed that.I lost my disc when I moved so I have to buy another copy.

I gotta get this game again. This and Red Orchestra are really well done for how old these games are. Also miss Steel Beasts.

Very good work

Job well done!

Příhodný jméno,na rozdíl od Halleovy komety,která bude lítat ještě dlouho

Great sound.

Richtig stark!

Designed by Alexander lippisch, the me 163 komet was fastest ww2 plane and later inspired future x planes and jet fighters

Whenever it went to land was its weakness that's when most of them are destroyed if not during fueling before takeoff

The guy in the P-47 : "Jesus how do we even FIGHT something like that?"

Sweet shooting, nothing more satisfying than to see a fatty bomber going down. Sad to see the helpless mustangs watching the massacre unfolding around.

Mix C-Stoff & T-Stoff Juuust Right! ;-)

Glad the gunsight got adjusted, so many don't. I found if you went too fast n a dive you had to invert to climb out, I enjoyed flying this plane with unlimited fuel you get to see some high altitudes views.

Didnt know they had the ability to turn the rocket on and off.

Kann man mal ein Ründchen mit dir spielen? und sehr schönes Video👍

Nice!

1:58 epic moment for german aces.

Ｂ２４５機撃墜見事でした！！！キャンペーン版も見たいですね！！

Amazing gunnery,.

That ending though. belly flop the ground.

Just imagine for a moment IF the luftwaffe woulda actually had these in force along with the ME 262 ' the beautiful Dornier Do335 all perfected and in the hands of their best pilots early in 42 when the first U.S raids started. There wouldnt have been a strategic daylight bombing campaign cuz everything coming over german soil would been shot out of the sky. The P51 woulda been nothing compared to the ME262 and 163 komet.

I think comet can only make 1 or 2 passes before fuel running out.

Is this game still up and running with online servers?

One actually managed to shoot down a mosquito on the turn but being cooked alive was a more likely outcome for the German pilot.

Im Cockpit läuft hoffentlich "Prodigy - Firestarter"? :-)

Me 163s shot down a few b17s near end of ww2, not good interceptor with its speed, it would have to make quick pass attacking a bomber with its 30mm cannon, they were dangerous planes to fly with their volatile fuel, and some were shot down by allied fighters

Me 163s were like a rocket shooting into the sky after takeoff, their speed at over 600mph approached the speed of sound, certainly the fastest ww2 aircraft and an inspiration for future x planes and jet fighters

Why don't those P-47's have the bands on the tail, elevators, and cowling?

bang bang bang plane falls apart ... wow

Bad day for the Carpet Bombers. Liberators meet the future.

Not a fun plane to land. The skid broke the backs of quite a few pilots.

NICEEEEE

Does anyone know how I can get this game to on Windows 10 from the disc?

yay finally

hallo wie installiere ich die Nordsee map ?

Loved this game. wish they'd update it

Once lit ...... Combined........the fuel burnt till it emptied.

I can destroy a P51 in a IL2 1946 mission while they pass me

The real Komet take off with the help of a ramp or a catapult and land with their own belly ;-) They don't can fly too longer because they are propeled with simply short rockets.

do yo play this game in Hyperlobby, too?

Αre there active servers in this game right now? Are there players online?

What's the black substance being trailed behind the Komet?

I think they would wait until they were out of fuel before making a pass or else one round hitting the fuselage would cause an instant explosion.

Wie Achterbahn, nur mit mehr Toten :)

very nice shots. gg

I don't think the 163 had the fuel capacity to perform all the maneuvers shown in the simulation.

Wasn't the Komet a rocket powered "glider" airdropped from a mothership?
