"You know, I've personally flown over 194 missions and I was shot down on every one. Come to think of it, I've never landed a plane in my life." :A̶d̶m̶i̶r̶a̶l̶ ̶B̶e̶n̶s̶o̶n̶ Taff
At ease men
Two aircraft lost in the space of 24 hours and no kills. Not a good day for our intrepid hero. Any more days like that, and you'll find yourself flying a Bolton-Paul Defiant...
Great work Taff. Thanks for another outstandng Cliffs of Dover Blitz video.
On those deflection shots from the side, start firing a second or so sooner and let the bomber fly into your tracers. When you lost that aileron, I figured that's it, he'll be out of control in a second. But you did some great flying just to get back to the base.
My problem with combat simulators is that the player inevitably becomes this legend due to the sheer number of kills or missions completed what not. Getting jumped and having to crash land during a transfer is both humbling and humanizing.
It's one of the things I liked about *Wings!* back in the day. Your green pilot might get shot on his first mission but the war went on, and you just took control of another rookie.
Equally in IL-2 your run can instantaneously be ended when your Me-262's engine decide you're being a little too aggressive with the throttle during landing and burst, or a single cannon shell happening to sail into the canopy and giving your brain some new roommates, or like what almost happened in the last episode and a drunk truck driver crashes the fuel bowser into your aircraft once you're on the ground taxiing.
That first near miss had me ducking in my seat ....good show Skipper Taff, Pip, Pip.
Excellent landing with just a rudder!
Mr Dawson:"Spitfires,George. Greatest plane ever built."
6.00: minutes, classic 109 bounce. You got lucky there my friend.
I’ve always loved the Hurricane, such a rugged old beast, however now you are in the most elegant and magnificent fighter of the war, in my opinion! Rock on Taff!
Making the move to more action in the 602 is the right thing. Good thing!
One reason to practice your deflection shooting, the bombers are defenceless from the sides. Coming in from behind means staying slightly above the enemy aircraft, the belly gunner can't see you and the top gunner will shoot his own tail off if he fires.
Taff really needs to learn when it's time to bail out and hit the silk.
Good story line and yep your flight got clobbered!! When you're not given a clear assignment that what happens, it's bombers or fighters not a free for all. Good video
Awesome flight! 😀
Good video taff enjoy the backstory you put in with the rest of the video 👍🏻
Jumped by 109's? Where was Chain Home? Where were your buddies?
Love the narration. War Stories with Taff Felton. 😉
Again amazing video taff love it 👍
Dying to get into a Spitfire; now that's an unfortunate turn of phrase. Pip was 'Dying' to get into a Spit as well. Bled out while landing. Now you're flying his plane, sleeping in his bunk, and sit in his chair at Mess. Our Ontario orangutan is an idiot, though. (leaning in close) If you wish someone harm 'round here, just wait and let Jerry do it for you. Another Bitter? I'm having a whiskey....
Great vid taff thanks 🙏
I think if you go into an energy fight - dive down and fire then climb back up - you have a bigger target than from behind
IL2 CLIFF ha un grandissimo potenziale 😉💪
Very nice
Well, you wanted action.... 😄👍
I haven't done any flying in about a year, must get back into it
I see a Spitfire in the thumbnail, I like the video before watching.
Good video. I’d open up a little sooner on your passes…. Those 8- .303’s provide a good shotgun-effect at longer, closing ranges. Maybe take some gunners out.
The RUclips compression can make it seem like there's a delayed trigger pull, but it's actually just delayed audio. It's a very small delay, so you don't really notice it in anything else than split second gun passes.
Yeah more of that.👍
You are correct. It does appear that your .303 MGs are not doing doodly-squat to the bombers.
Heinkel He-111's are tough old birds - takes a lot of .303 bullets to knock one down unless you get lucky.
When I first flew the shuttle mission, something told me the 109s were going to be out there. As soon as I hit the coast, I dove low and did a huge 360. They flew on and I went to base and landed. Hurris are no match for a 109, let alone 2! Tis better to fight another day.
The official statistics of the Battle of Britain don't exactly support your statement that the Hurricane is no match for a Bf-109. Yes the 109 had a speed advantage and more effective armament, but the fact remains that nearly half of the losses inflicted on the 109 in the Battle of Britain were credited to the Hurricane. The Hurricane had a considerable advantage over the 109 in the turn.
@@colindouglas7769 But there were 2 109s. 2. Did you fly and survive? The outcome is the man, not the machine.
Bouncing you on a transfer flight? Jerry’s not playing cricket!
I would like to recruit you for commentary for my single player missions 😅 You make it so interesting.
Please do a Defiant campaign next. No cockpit view but you can get some excellent plane visuals. You'd be the first to do such.
I think that would be a pretty short campaign. He will most likely get his arse handed to him on a plate by the first 109 he encounters in the skies flying one of those crates.
@@colindouglas7769 You aren't familar with 264 Sqn then, they played a role over Dunkirk. "Claimed" 30+ planes in one day, actually alot less but held their own. Novice 141 Sqn was massacred by Emil aces and the defiant vansihed from day time service.
@@RemusKingOfRome They don't get anywhere near the recognition they deserve. The Defiant gets lambasted precisely because of this reason. In most instances it simply wasn't used for its intended role. 264 Sqn proved the concept was sound, and their performance reflected that.
The .303... Great for shooting enemy soldiers.
But the solid bullets would just pass through the enemy aircraft without doing any real damage.
Hitting a pilot was about the most damage you could hope for. Maybe crack the engine(s).
The main problem with them was that you really needed to get close to the enemy plane with them. They're really efficient at close range with all 8 of the machine guns hitting close to each other.
@@Tuulos I would think that the issue you speak of was the distance at which the guns were set to 'converge,' on a target.
Convergence was set on the ground, usually by the ground crew.
And it was probably not an 'exact science.'
And in many cases, convergence was needed for one thing, but would prove to be a poor choice for something else.
Firing at another aircraft is a different situation, from strafing targets on the ground.
sorry do you have to buy the game again if you have it already or is it a complete new sim
I don't know
I remember this mission and thought it was way unbalanced. All I could do was go low and run like hell to the airfield.
I like Cliffs of Dover better than Great Battles to be honest
Yeah there are some great features on Cliffs, the reply track system though isnt one of them :-(
You know when you’re not sure if you find it cringey or like it. That’s where I’m at
6:00 - Have you ever heard of bailing out? You're over water, right at the coast. Point the nose out toward the Channel and get out of the aircraft! That's the ultimate no-brainer.
13:48 - I thought you were flying a Spit. That means you go after the 109s, doesn't it? Keep the enemy fighters off the Hurricanes and let them do their job.
Actually, that's not how it worked in the Battle of Britain. The priority targets for ALL of Fighter Command's squadrons in 1940 were the German bombers. Escort fighters were only engaged in self defence (no choice), or in favourable circumstances.
That famous line from the 1969 movie 'The Battle of Britain' is 100% spot on:
"Leave the flaming fighters! It's the bloody bombers we want!"
Bailing over the Channel in 1940 not very sensible at all, unlike the Germans the RAF had no dedicated rescue service at this stage & relied on eyewitnesses on land or nearby ships (if any). Comrades might circle but were unable to radio help directly & all comms would have to be relayed via airfield/group. Nor was survival time in the water great, despite summer. Far too many pilots landing in the sea were lost, one of the few real failings of the RAF in the battle.
Yeah, unfortunately the British .303 left a lot to be desired as an aircraft armament
yes indeed
Lol, good to see you're still a terrible shot
I blame global warming
