Private Siefer Journal Entry #3 I woke up today expecting to find a nice christmas surprise. What I got was like getting the one toy you begged your parents for all year and then having it followed up by a swift kick to the balls. We had 6 brand new P51's sitting on the flight line this morning. Freshly painted and gleaming like polished silver. Mr. Hall took one out as a replacement for the one he wrecked on his last sortie and brought it back looking like somebody used him for target practice. The supply boys asked what parts I needed to fix that wreck up after he brought it back. I gave them the list of parts I DIDN'T need because it was shorter. The damage was pretty severe. Both flaps completely missing, left and right fuel tanks turned into swiss cheese, elevators shot to hell, and I found the rudder sitting on the side of the main runway when we towed her to the hangar. Not to mention the canopy was jettisoned somewhere in the french countryside! Everyone on the flight line saw me staring at this pile of scrap that I somehow had to turn back into a combat ready fighter and heard me cuss up a storm that would have made a sailor blush and thus the name of Siefer's "Bucket Of Bolts" stuck. With all this repair work I might not have time to paint his victories for the day before the next sortie. I really hope he doesn't keep bringing em back like this. Otherwise he's gonna be in here with the grease jocks like Mr. Ross was with my father.
I can hear your shout of "HALL WTF IS THIS SH*T WHEN I SAID BRING IT BACK IN ONE PIECE, I MEANT IN ONE PIECE, NOT A BIG PIECE WITH 4 SMALLER PIECES MISSING WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?" the moment the Lt went to the hangar
I could barely believe you were able to bring that bird home, much less that absolutely perfect landing, mate. All without your main control surfaces. Truly well done.
I watched this series a while back, but I am just getting into flying my flight sim again and had to watch it again. This is my favorite series on the internet. Your storytelling makes it feel like an HBO series like band of brothers. I really appreciate the effort that you put into this and it has given me and my brother in law (both army vets) an amazing amount of entertainment. I am learning on the Yak 1 right now, but I will start my own P 51 career soon!
Heya Wolfpack345, ran in to your channel not too long ago. I like this IL2 content, bound to watch more of your channel but I'm glad I've found this. Love your Outside-replay style cuts that you implement into the episode, its quite interesting to see the results or clarify what happened. Thats one new sub from me! 👍🏻
This is without a doubt the best I’ll 2 let’s play I’ve ever seen and i never thought I’d say that next to one g Jeff let’s play but for real man keep doing these your reall good 👍🏻
Damn fine work bringing her home after suffering that amount of damage! Wouldn't have blamed you if you did choose to ditch. Having both flaps blown off and leaking fuel and coolant like a sieve is not a position I ever want to find myself in! I highly recommend learning the "Pirouette" maneuver. After you zoom past your target in a combat dive pull into a vertical climb and power through till you almost stall. Once you feel your on the verge of stalling stomp on the rudder HARD. Your aircraft should snap over quickly and reposition you so that you are ready for another diving pass at your targets. Its great for picking on bomber and transport formations.
Thanks! I have done this in ROF a bit. I have mostly heard it called the Immelmann Turn. Is that the same thing? I can look into it more and I certainly should try it out!
@GunslingerXXI interesting! I always heard the immelman described as being similar to a split s and was always told that this was the pirouette. Thanks for informing me!
Do you feel like the AI is far too aggressive? They seem more than happy to chase you to the very edge of the universe it seems, even when a real pilot would probably turn back - or be ordered away. Maybe it's because of a lack of ambient ground fire. AAA feels really sparse in IL-2 unless you're over a target area, there's not any procedurally-placed batteries or anything to make flying over enemy territory more dangerous.
Brilliant fun to watch WP! I like the commentary, it all adds to the involvement! Good stuff. You want a skin? Come and talk to Rap (torattacker). It'd be a pleasure.
.... although if you DO want a skin then I'm afraid I'm going to need assurances that you'll be a BIT more careful with the paintjob than you were in this mission!!
Thanks man! I would love a skin! I was planning on trying to make one buy if you want to make me one it would be awesome! I'll try not to scratch the paint. :P
I haven't played this game yet, but when you Or say "somebody" is engaging in enemy planes is this other players attacking the AI? and do players play as Germans and trying to kill you guys? or is it a bunch of AI's killing AIs?
I buy from the website. il2sturmovik.com/ there are frequent sales and they are generally pretty dramatic cuts. Just figured you would like to know. Thanks for subbing!
Yes. My grandpa fought at the battle of the bulge and the Rhine so I'm really excited for Bodenplatte Also my favorite plane has to be the Fockewulf 190 for old planes. Is the Fw in the base game or is it with other battle or premiums?
Do you think you could make some Silent Hunter 3 tutorial videos because there are not every many on youtube. Also, you are really good at the game and have a lot of knowledge of how to play.
Thanks!! I am not sure if the Gyro Gunsight will be worth mastering but it it is something new to try! I know you can be insanely accurate with it though. It is helping me learn more about the static gunsights as well. There is always something to learn/Practice in this game it seems! Part of the fun I think.
Just for the sake of experimentation of coarse ! Have you tried shooting a guy in a parachute ? I know it,s poor poor sportsmanship but it surely happened In real life and I,m curious if it can be done in game. An A.I pilot maybe
Will IL@ ever get a clickable cockpit? Its shocking to me that we are using a game engine from the mid nineties, lol. DCS has a far superior physics model but the graphics engine is severely broken, lol. Microsoft wont give us Guns. Its like they want to ruin the simulator market.
La map est mal optimisé ! au dessus des bâtiments des villes, il y a des freezes, c'est hache ! n'achetez pas cette map ! les autres sont mieux, car pas beaucoup de détails au sol. même sur la vidéo, on voit bien que par moment c'est pas lisse.
