@@Tr4wnet I know man, but its not only that I'm still able to download it. Its the nostalgia for the gone days and the memories with people that are no longer in my life.
@@smigoltime I was thinking this too, got 2 kills in 4 games, mostly by hitting engines. The lack of HE is really obnoxious. Glad I can confirm I wasn't just having a skill issue when the shell went through from the back all the way out the front of a P-47 with no damage and I see you nail a B-25 from 1km in a video.
You make this thing look lighter than a feather when it actually feels trying to fly a garbage truck with an anti tank cannon strapped to it (Also please do a video on the yak-9k, i'd love to see what youre able to do with the 45mn on this thing against enemy planes)
well irl simply destroying the engine / setting a tank on fire / detracking one was considered as tank destroyed. You don't repair a broken engine in 40 seconds irl ;--D
I genuinely don't understand how your aim is so good, I can't hit shit with this plane. I understand even less how you're outmanouvering fighters. Hats off, I'm in awe.
The new ammo detonation animations are low-key one of the best new things they've added to the game in a long time. With the exception of the iffy orange disk of light on the ground at the start of the explosion, the ammo-rack at 2:22 just looks soooo good.
that P-47 probably got the shame of a life time having his ass handed to him by a Duck, to be fair tho its smigol flying, the guy who could probably pull of any wacky shit you could imagine
It's as if the ineffectiveness of these guns in ideal conditions in a game that provides you all the needed breaks from reality like absolute reliability, consistent ammo or perfect third person view and minimap is _a hint how inflated for propaganda were actual Rudel's results..._
100% BUT there’s also the factor that APCR, even if it was just as bad at destroying tanks IRL as it is in-game, could still cause mobility kills, take out barrels, or cause crew to bail out from a penetration into the crew compartment that otherwise didn’t cause damage. Rudel’s still almost definitely full of it, though.
@@pandovian_ first of all, yes, the game doesn't count mobility kills, mission kills or crew panicking. Secondly... let's just say that there is an interesting version floating around in russian parts of internet. There are claims that the reason for such effectiveness was the external fuel tanks soviets used on marches and dropped before battle. The reason behind the claim? There are several reports where Ju-87 was credited with a kill with autocannons, BUT the only operating Ju-87 at that place and time were D models that had MG-151/20 gunpods, that can't hope to pierce tank armor. However they had a lot of incendiary and explosive ammo and extreme rate of fire, which combined were enough to ignite even bloody diesel. Btw the game doesn't count those external tanks on soviet tanks as existing even though it models them. Not sure how true it is, but it adds one more nail into legendary reputation of G model.
Rudel flew in a group with other experienced "tank hunters" and attacked in repeated approaches behind friendly lines where flak was no a huge issue. His claims are no doubt inflated but then again you didn't need to eliminate all crew members of a T-34 for it to be a 'real' kill in real life. 1 effective hit to the engine or one that causes a fire would be likely and rightly considered a kill.
@@TheArklyte Could not the engine deck or necessary components for the engine to function be damaged by 20mm fire though? I'm not sure but it could be another explanation. In any case I thought the same thing as you when I read his book, external fires seem the most likely.
Smigol when you're going to play the meteor NF13 which for me is a suffer experience let's see if you could prove me wrong. Last but not least great video.
Lower-velocity gun and way slower reload. I've never been able to even reliably kill things with it in the test drive, but I've definitely run into players who learned it and love it. Good XA-38 pilots are terrifying.
410s have better speed and maneuverability than the duck. Also the dual 13mm turrets and 20mm cannons have gotten me many air kills which would otherwise be impossible with the duck. Hs 129 is pretty much only usable with no air contesting and very little anti air, Me 410 is more flexible.
@@jojomaster7675 Personally, I think it's good. You can penetrate almost anything you see bar heavy tanks from bad angles or ricochets. It's fun to use and I have it almost always in my line up. The main benefit over the Ju-87 cannons or duck is, once again, the better flexibility overall.
Aaaaaaaaaa the duck absolute beast i still love that plane as its a mission to keep it in the air let alone killing tanks with it. I have killed some planes with it but my 40mm hurricane is a plane destroyer the duck is just funni boi
@@smigoltime Ah, no worries. I'd recommend it if you ever feel like testing it out, even when it's a premium. A lot like the Duck with better engines, rear gunner and optional bombs.

You can literally download it anytime and play it just fyi.

@@georgivanev7466 Fair enough.
totally same mate... that game brought up my love of planes essentially!
The community is still very well alive tho. Recently there was a pacific event with alot of people
i have a feeling you will absolutely love the Vickers Tempest.
it's like the stuka G but it can actually fly and actually kill what it hits.
The stuka can kill what it shoots, you obviously haven’t played the Stuka G
it has no HE and I tried it many times and it's absolutely trash at killing planes

@@smigoltime not to mention the dirt getting thrown up or the explosion obscuring the pilot's vision and causing a false kill claim.

Late response but yeah, that was my visually favourite kill so far
The IL-2 music hits hard ;-;, and the voices.. AHHH... the memories
-look a duck that’s an easy target ! Let’s get it !
-Sir he’s on our tail.
-Oh…
holy... the IL2 music BRINGS BACK MEMORIES
i love the voicelines, i want them
Me too
As it turns out, strapping a PaK40 onto a plane to shoot through tank roofs is very strong.
who's reloading the goddamn gun im askin? are there tiny stronk wehragunners onboard?
@@penclaw Yes, little mechanical wehragunners, designed by Henschel Flugzeug-Werke.
One-tapping vehicles with those plane-mounted donk guns provides some proper NEURON STIMULATION.
I feel like this is the toughest plane in the game, but it needs every bit of engine power so it balences out lol
Yeah there was a planned version with more than double the horsepower, that thing would be a menace. Also, in real life the 75mm could be jettisoned.
Smigol Time : Nazwanie go lepszym od twórców gry to za mało .
You got 1 kill in 20 battles... much like Ulrich Rudel himself. Congrats
Piękny jesteś Smigol, jesteś pięknym człowiekiem jesteś
that P-47 probably got the shame of a life time having his ass handed to him by a Duck, to be fair tho its smigol flying, the guy who could probably pull of any wacky shit you could imagine
getting outplayed and outmaneuvered by an Hs-129 while using fighters is the highest form of "You suck"
damn the IL-2 music, the countless hours just making my own battles on that game I miss those times geez.
Please keep using these IL-2 themes on the videos, so nostalgic.
The devil shivers when the nice guy loses his patience
4:11 an actually incredible shot.. bravo good sir! bravo
Jesus the songs brings back memories of when I used to only play Il-2 1946
I used to 1v1 my german friend in this thing. I demolished him every single time🤣
One kill in 20 battles sounds about right, oh the snail's iron grip doth never waver
The best plane in the game there is no debate.
the IL-2 soundtrack and voices thoooo
Bruh that fucking La-7 pilot is another level of smoothbrain
Smigol: doesn’t care for Ground RB
WW2 Engineers: what if we made tanks fly?🧐
Again with the IL2 music and voice lines. Great stuff!
Nice video Smigol you're really good at this, salute from Brasil.
This time a Ta 152 Black and white came to my mind... Wow I stared too much in IL2 screens I think
6:17
Yo gaijin, 2018 is calling, they want their non-volumetric shell back
duck leaved the pond !
those last second pullups give me anxiety
The il2 music! my heart is melting! i remember playing that game on my dads computer when i was like 12 lol
The IL-2 sound effects are perfect
Very Nice and incredible dogfighting. Now I wanna see what you could do with the Japanese Ki-102(I also find it very fun in Air RB)
Now bring this thing to top tier
Honestly quite incredible
57mm mosquito when? :troll:

nice video Smigol. Careful with the tail decal tho.
No need, YT is fine with that
Реально хороший самолёт, пушка от Пазика 4 75мм с пробитием 145 каморником :) Плюс оптический прицел, можно делать грязь. :)
good ol' IL-2 Soundtrack
Great video! Any closer and your pilot could melee.
less than 1 minute in and we see the average tank player in a plane. also i think you and your friends would enjoy playing The Long Drive
I love the german yelling in the background
Watching CAS players utterly fail at dogfighting is always funny.
Ahhh the duck, it's like dragging a dumptruck behind the airplane with how garbage those engines are...
The stukas with the 37mm and the duck are so terrible planes but so fun to play with
Yay, a duck video! Thanks!
Satisfaction 100%
IL-2 German theme, I love you ❤️
i slept watching this
I haven't played IL-2 in forever. I got it on steam.

Il 2 sturmovik ptsd holy fuck did u trigger the custom battle memories for me
Why didn't they put the gun with an autoloader on a tank though?
see i’ve been wondering the same thing
Lovely!! But i have a question: which ammo are u using for 75mm ?
default
this must be how rudel flew his stuka irl lol
Nostalgic Il-2 BGM..
I was played with my father
Bf-110g has the same stuka gun but with fuckton of ammo and you can really rack up kills with it
😳Smigol going sicko mode woah
I like how you go against all the stupid censorship by having a historically accurate skin on your aircraft every time
Of course. History is history
Cool video. Just a question, how does the duck compare to the 50mm 410s? Are the 410s even worth trying to use?
410s have better speed and maneuverability than the duck. Also the dual 13mm turrets and 20mm cannons have gotten me many air kills which would otherwise be impossible with the duck. Hs 129 is pretty much only usable with no air contesting and very little anti air, Me 410 is more flexible.
@@Ypog_UA And how good is the 50mm?
Cause that's kind of their only gimmick when compared with normal CAS like the Ju-87Ds or Bf-110s.
the 50 is less accurate and does a bit less damage, but I guess still usable
@@smigoltime Thanks for the tip.
And keep up the great content!
