For future reference, it is almost always best to land gear up in an emergency with WWII aircraft. Unless you know for a fact the ground is solid and you're in a tripod, keep your gear up and float her to the ground, flaring gently but considerably at the last second so you slide across the ground. You will still slow quickly but you won't flip or nose forward nearly as much.
This is actually what the doctrine was in real life, and for many aircraft it still is. The only exception in IL2 really would be the Me-262, because landing on its engines could in real life cause them to deform and detonate, though I don't know if this is modelled in the game. But the Me-262 is also a tripod aircraft so its inherently more stable for landing in a field with gear down
Tl;dr, gear up on emergency landing, trust me you'll prefer the results
All true, and to avoid lawsuits from the ventral gunners in-laws it's generally advisable to land upsidedown as well whenever possible :)
@@zxbzxbzxb1 what about for the top gunner
@@flyingfortress15 Just land sideways.
3 year old comment but this is really important advice to keep in mind. Just have to share a story that just happened to me in IL2 to anyone that may see this comment in the future.
I did a Mosquito raid across the English channel took some heavy AA fire destroying my left engine and causing a rather substantial fuel leak. I pushed the remaining engine as hard as I could without destroying it as well, in a race against time from the leaking fuel, while attempting to gain altitude as much as possible to glide if the need arose. Well I made it all the way across the English channel, directed to the closest airfield on the map near the coast. Finally I could see land and just barley make out the airfield in the distance, at this point I gained substantial altitude and was coming in at about 15,000 feet, and right then before I had actually reached the coast my fuel ran dray and my second engine shut off. Gaining all this altitude paid off and I was able to make it above the airfield spiraling down for a landing, coming in too hot with full flaps I aggressively flared my rudder in a side slip to try to bleed off more speed, I made it to the last 25% of the runway; at this particular airfield past the end of the runway dips into a rather steep hill. I blew past the end of the runway wheels down in a panic as I started to go downhill I aggressively pressed the wheel brakes, in doing so the Mosquito abruptly and immediately nosed down flipping completely upside down crushing the canopy killing my pilot ending that campaign. If I had landed gear up I'm sure I would have survived that mission.
So, will Taff hit something before the 6th Army surrenders in Stalingrad? Tune in next time to find out...
Enjoying this campaign, it's an interesting change from fighters :)
Much better use of the bombing computer this time but still a little off to hit ‘ace’ level ;) The wind works in fixed ‘bands’ in Il2. As you were flying at 1500m you are firmly in the band that runs from 1000-1999m so the forecast wind would be 13m/s from 335 degrees. It doesn’t gradually fade off between bands but rather switches when you hit the next band. Any altitude between 1000 and 1999 would have the same setting but as soon as you hit 2000m you switch to the new input numbers of 16ms and 339 degrees (and that band would run from 2000m to 4999m). For this reason it’s always good to fly on a level that is not close to a band change ie if you flew at 2000m altitude your plane can dip up and down between the two bands and so 1900m or 2100m would be better for accuracy. Massive respect to you for this sortie - flying a 111 at night and even getting close to the target area is a huge feat!
Although you set up nicely if you look back at the point in the video where you drop the bombs you’ll see the issue as to why the bombs dropped a bit randomly. If you look at the dial in the top right of the screen of the bombing computer you can see the view finder is set off a lot to the right (like about 20 degrees) and so what you are seeing in the bomb aimer is not where your bombs will fall. Unfortunately for level bombing you have to commit yourself from about 15km out from the target to flying perfectly straight and level with everything set dead centre. A lot of this was not your fault though, getting hit by AA is lethal and you are faced with a dilemma - flight straight and maybe get the bombs off before you explode or jink around and blind-bomb on the off chance you nuke something :)
Just a tip. If you have to land in a field, don't use your gear. Mostly the ground is to soft, so the gear will dig into the ground and flip your plane over. Just put the plane down without gear. You will most likely slide over the ground and the chances of survival is mutch bigger. ;)
I also noticed, when you swap to the bombing sight, the pilot goes automaticly into autopilot. Maybe you can ajust then.
Sorry for bad english. Its not my native language ;)
Great English really good actually!
@@CrunchRiot thx mate :)
Taff: never lower your undercarriage on an emergency landing; you will always find that your aircraft will pitch forward using your landing gear. The landing gear is solely for landing on runways. Keep your landing gear up, and fly as level as possible and glide down, flaring just before you touch down and gently drag your tail into the ground.
You should put victory marks on the he111 after every successfully bombing mission or planes that you've shot down in it
Well that would require him to actually hit a target at some point ;)
I love flying bombers, the bigger, the heavier the more challenging. Don't stop this campaign, I would enjoy watching you improve on your aiming etc.
For Bombers the Level autopilot alows a very low turn angle. Only a few Degrees per second.
In the Heinkel 111 you are already lucky to just survive.
The engine goes out me oh no when taff says just acrost the line
Sniper: so you have chosen death
This video is awesome man! Im glad your patient enough to play with bombers. Me personally i cant do it.
Really had fun watching. Thanks! Was a bit dark though. I know that is you tube issues but still.
Thanks again!
Love this, all though youtube dont seam to like dark scenes.
Another great video. I think I enjoy watching these more than actually playing il2 👌
You lived to fly another day👍, I would call that a successful mission for your self 👏👏
German night bombers used a total black paint configuration no light colors were used.
Maybe using smaller bonds will give you a better bomb run on a night mission like this.
You should consider using the Pat Wilson Campaign Generator. The mission variety with that mod is awesome.
I always thought night fighting and bombing was the coolest parts of World War 2.
No one's got a realistic British Bomber Command simulator, which I would love to play. Have to take my Wellies and Lancs out in daylight. Nonsense!
Man I flew a night bombing mission and I was the only one to get at least have way back to base I crash landed from damage from flak
It was an utter massacre!!
Adler 4 wir starten. love the coms
Out of interest is the hard pull to the right on take off due to both engines being aligned so the torque is all in the same direction as opposed to opposite? I know the Mosquito was like this so that engine replacements were easier. If that is the case then as I understand it the throttles are used to counter so something like 100% right, 90% left until up to speed and then slowly increase. Great vid as always although you might need a little more work on the landing :-)
The RUclips gods do not favour the night bombing
Switch off lights and use dark mode. Helps a lot.
The YT gods love nothing & no one, except for the holy $
I find it easier to set bomb aimer and release to auto, that way you can actually look ahead at your target in the distance. The aim point then stays centered on the target if wind, speed etc calculations are correct and bombs are released at the calculated drop point. I think the bomber then also stays level and responds to the steer commands?
In aviation (Yes, I have a pilot license) 'interpolation' is used when you don't have firm values and you have to use hard data from either side of your needs. Your wind I would have input as 14 at 337. Assuming you had this report pre-flight (at least in real life) it is something to be decided while on the ground.
It's clearly foggy tonight, duuh!
That fact is as bright as daynight...
Great video! 2:20 it is 500 and 250kg not lb. Might be good to know when choosing your bombs
Did you fly any training missions in the He 111 before you started this campaign?
think German planes uses kilos not pounds for bombs, so 250 and 500 kilo, much bigger then pounds, (might be wrong but i dont think so)
19:10 Yea sure Taff blame the autopilot! LoL 🤣
I think you were a tad low considering the AA and search lights you were facing. .. Plus your aircraft should be painted black .. and laying smoke over the target. :D
I'm sure that when you open the bombay doors, it affects your airspeed a little. So it could cause a change in the path of your bombs.
If it's possible, you should do some practice runs with the bomber, getting well acquainted with the bombsight and auto pilot. Doing it by day 'AND night.'
You're under double pressure to get the plane on target as well as being shot at.
Maybe a higher altitude would increase your chances against the AA guns on the ground. After all, they can only fire at what's in the spotlight. And if the lights can't get a good beam on you, it's all the better.
But low and slow over AA is not a good recipe for success... For hitting the target or getting home...
Also dim the cockpit lights
Curious here, why does Taff perform the V1-VR-V2 tricycle take off? He-111 is a tail-dragger. Shouldn't its nose be pitched down and levelled then pitched up for take-off? It's been a while since I played.
Btw, you had trouble during takeoff because you locked your tailwheel. Use the tailwheel until you're fast enough for the rudder to kick in and then lock the wheel.
There is no lockable tailwheel in the He 111. The issues during takeoff were because 35° (not %) is by far too much flaps. 20° is the right angle for takeoff.
idk if its something else or because ive been watching a lot of American youtubers lately but you sound a lot more English today than usual
"Taff" in Exile.....
@@jameswilliams1085 ?
@Joshua i dont recall calling him american
@Joshua again. i know. i didnt call him american. learn how to read
@Joshua, actually Taff is married to an American girl and I believe they live in the US.
Man I flew a night bombing mission and I was the only one to get at least have way back to base I crash landed from damage from flak

Wouldn't those bombs be 500 and 250kg, lbs? Makes somewhat of a difference. I don't think the Germans used imperial bomb measures!
Is the He-111 pulling more to the left or to the right while in flight? Because the engines are not contra rotating and probably create a side torque?
If I want to fly allied bombers what expansion is best? I have the base game but it’s hard to see what expansion give me what planes
Is there anything you can do about the light balance? I could hardly see a thing when you weren’t illuminated by searchlights.
that's just youtube being youtube, there's not much he can do. He can try to increase the brightness, but at some point it will look whitewashed while not giving more visibility.
Either way bitrate on night videos (and overall) is crap on youtube. Maybe in 1440p it would be better but idk
YOU CAN CALL ME MEIER!!!
*Welp don't mind if I do*
Hey a question why did they burn the sides of the runway
Bombs are 500kg and 250 kg
The number you are desperately searching for between 335° at 1000m and 339° at 2000m is 337° at 1500m- or, in your words, anyway.
Close but no cigar. It´s very hard to see ground targets at night. Maybe if you aim for the center of the spotlights because I think they will surround the target roughly.
Furthermore I fully agree with other comments: try landing with wheels up.
You should do some training on the He111, the game itself and the bombsight before doing vids.
nah as a viewer its more interesting to see unpolished game play nice and raw with mistakes etc....
Wish they would let you choose your own name in il2
Tough crowd.......
How was that a failure? Your group hit way more targets than the other bombing mission which only hit 1 and was deemed a success....
Can you makle radio messages visable, I don;t know german. XD
I refer the JU88 more
ola puedo no tengo el juego
It would be nice if some of the on line servers would run the odd night mission so that those of us that fly bombers might actually stand a chance of surviving!
can you play thirth person in this game
Man I flew a night bombing mission and I was the only one to get at least have way back to base I crash landed from damage from flak
