That landing was butter :). Thanks, I just got IL-2 mainly because it has these multi-engine aircraft. DCS is fun for single engined fighters but I have a soft spot for bombers!
It handles very well, so landings are very easy in it. The catch with the Heinkels is that they carry so much fuel you'll never need all of it on any of the maps even though they're pretty big
Oooh, you ARE clever! Thanks for that mate. I haven't even SAT in a 111 so I might just give it a go after this. By the way, are you alright? You sounded a bit sad when you were explaining where the Supercharger Control was at the very beginning? ;-))
You should give it a try. Practicing some level bombing is an interesting way to expand your horizons now and again. The supercharger phrase I needed to re-record as I had it incorrect on the first release, so that's why my voice sounds a little different compared to the rest of it. I try to do the recording all in one sitting as your voice changes depending on different factors.
I know, I know, I'm pretty into sound, it's one of my 'things'. I suspected as much. I watched another one of your videos on the bombsight (can't recall which one exactly) and it deffo cleared up a lot of the mystery. So much so I actually gave it a go! It's on the 'to do' list for sure and thanks once more.
I am new to Il 2 and was wondering if you have a “how to “ on multiplayer? As an Aussie also interested in a server that caters for our time zone? I do have an aviation background although haven’t flown for quite sometime Cheers Denys
DENYS AUBRY I think there's at least one server called unprofessional's or something like that which should be in your timezone, arrange servers with low ping as on the top and try them 👍
Okay this doesn't explain to me why the Air Start He 111's on the Finnish server always burst into flames for me. Like 10 seconds after spawning in both my engines fail and catch fire and I have no idea why.
No there's not tutorial as such. There is one principle when using trim. Use it to relieve control pressure, so this means that you'll have a certain amount of pressure on the stick to maintain your altitude and you use trim so that pressure goes away. You should be able to take your hand off the stick when trimmed correctly and the plane will maintain altitude.
i just got an HE 111 (in war thunder of course :v ) and i was wondering how to fly this german beast.. thanks to you i am the best bomber and i pilot now.. and all my school mates love me because now i kno how this bomber works.. credits to you :D just for that im going to subscribe to your channel
War thunder is like ace combat compared to IL-2 or DCS, i really doubt anything you learn here is applicable in war thunder apart from perhaps instrumentation
I just started to learn to fly the HE 111 H-16 and I can take off fine but when I try to climb I just don't gain any altitude. I reduce my throttle to climb mode with flaps up and landing gear up but I can never seem to gain altitude I'm clearly missing a step because even with 30% fuel and 4- 250 lbs bombs I can never gain any altitude any suggestions ?
In your video after take off you accelerate to 200km /hr @ 1.25 ATA 2400 RPM for climb, when you do this are you only reducing your throttle untill you reach 2400 rpm / 1.25 Ata. Or is there not a secondary function you are performing? I've been trying to figure this out for hours help would be appreciated thanks .
I sometimes wonder if those side guns were worth their weight. In reality bombers could not reliably protect themselves against fighters, and while a few guns make sense as a deterrent, I do wonder whether in hindsight they went a bit overboard and could have saved some weight and space and gained some speed instead.
Its probably the same deal with Putting MG’s pointed upwards on tanks, it doesnt need to hit anything as long as it deters fighters it has done its job
@@koekiejam18 the question is, did it deter fighters though? Like, I think a Mossie has the same bomb load as an He-111-it doesnt have to worry about defending itself because it is very fast. I am surprised more companies didn't go for the approach of a very fast bomber without any bells and whistles.
@@momotheelder7124 hmm good question, (by the way killer job on still responding 2 years later!) I think the deal with speed is both a choice of preference and a choice regarding the tasking these fighters endured. I mean any fighterbomber/attack plane is going to lose speed after a dive or when trying to climb and i doubt that for every fighterbomber/attacker stripping away defensive armament lead to that big of an increase. Altough planes where alot less heavy back in ww2, i dont think alot of pilots would rather get a difference of perhaps 30kmph in exchance for 2-3 machineguns that can (potentially) keep fighters at bay. besides when it comes to the mosquito that was a very fast plane from the start so it would make alot of sense to go all in on the speed that already exists, meanwhile a plane that is already quite slow. For example the He-111 would do speeds between 310kmph and 400kmph where as the mosquito has shown to manage upwards of 550kmph. And my take on not alot of companies going this route has to do with the difficulty of spending ALOT of time on researching aerodynamics and engine technology to get a very fast plane, where as you could easily get an average plane and strap on 4 machine guns. (keep in mind this is all my take on this whole ordeal, and someone more specialised and informed would probably know alot more)
Yep. If you have the game then someone else can fly it and you can just hop in the gunner seat if you want. It's a good option if you don't have a joystick and are stuck with just a keyboard and mouse
You would need to play a Cooperative campaign with a friend as the pilot using Pat Wilson's Campaign Generator to do that....or if you're playing purely Singleplayer, then you would need to turn the autopilot on and then switch to the gunner seat.
@@RequiemsACTL this helps a lot! I did notice that after I would hit the C button on the keyboard that I would go to the bombers position. Not the gunner. Hmm...I'll have to take a look

I also just picked it up for the multi-engine fatbois. Works great with my Honeycomb yoke.
landing is never a problem for me in bombers because i always get shot down :)
amazing, then theres me crashing just after take off :D
We've all been there Bob at some point ;-)
Brilliant tutorial, I have finally got into the air!
Thanks for the video!
My pleasure!
Thanks Stableace I will check it out 😊👍🏻
Thank you for this tut

Yeah the unprofessionals is australia based, the missions on it are also allright. Sadly though there's rarely someone on it.
HungrigerHugo89
thanks mate. Are you Australian? It would be nice to get something happening for this part of the world 😊👍🏻
Nah mate I'm german, I just know the server owner ^^ Theres bound to be another flyout through magztv on the unprofessionals in the near future though
really helping a lot

Is there a good tutorial how to trim the aircraft? In full realistic mode I have to drop bombs accurate without level stabilisor....

What are the differences between this an h6?. Is this one faster or better at all?
See this post from my good friend Shamrock over at Stormbirds stormbirds.blog/2017/04/03/reviewing-the-he111h-16/
It's a great plane, just like this video and my comment 😂🇫🇮

You'll need to reduce throttle first to 1.25 ATA then reduce RPM to 2400. They're separate controls.
@@RequiemsACTL thanks so much for the help really appreciate it keep up the good work

Yeah they don't give much field of fire but I guess they need some defense there or else it's an area that can be exploited in attacks

Location? Cant find this place....
played on BoS but tutorial in Kuban, not matter what its the same just different on armament
Is it possible to just play as a gunner?
Yep. If you have the game then someone else can fly it and you can just hop in the gunner seat if you want. It's a good option if you don't have a joystick and are stuck with just a keyboard and mouse
@@RequiemsACTL but not for singleplayer?

@@salmenda Yeah if you press CTRL+C you should swap between all the positions before going back to the pilot position.
Is it just me or is it goddamn impossible to bind the rpm controls now?
i still get engine dmg why ?
water and oil is on
You were probably running full power for too long. That's an emergency setting so the engine can't sustain it for very long.
@@RequiemsACTL yes thanks for the nice vid and the tip.
I wish i could watch the start up in the cockpit again
I'll bring back the cockpit startups in Battle of Bodenplatte.
Ok thx ;) man i miss the old day
Instructions unclear
Bombed London
Bugger...that's about to cause some trouble!
