    This is BRILLIANT!! I love it. Gonna get down and get with it using this. I ain't done ship attacks for ages and you've just inspired me Req! Thanks.
    ps So would you say that Martin Harlinghausen was a tosser then?...

    • @RequiemsACTL
      @RequiemsACTL  3 года назад +1

      My understanding is that Harlinghausen did the original flat release then somewhere along the way a fighter jock in a 190 figured out the toss part

    Very interesting bombing technique! Looks like it requires (quite) some practice to perfect in order to get a feeling for the right timing, but I imagine it will increase a pilot's survivability if he can get well acqainted with this technique.

    • @RequiemsACTL
      @RequiemsACTL  3 года назад +2

      It will take a little practice to do the toss bomb, but with a few runs you'll get a nice feel for it

      Just plan on using this technique, and if they land early they'll skip anyway! :-)

    Very, very cool technique. I also didn't realize IL-2 could simulate bomb skip, which is also incredibly neat. I've been playing for years and had no clue whatsoever. That's kind of sad, lol...

    • @Raptorrat
      @Raptorrat 3 года назад +1

      I've been doing skip-bombing since the old Il-2.
      Started as joking on a lan party, low pass with a p40, and found to my surprise the bomb actually skipped.
      Haven't had a chance to try in BoX, only added BoK recently.

    • @RequiemsACTL
      @RequiemsACTL  3 года назад +1

      It's a fun way to approach the ship and you can pretty much guarantee a hit with practice

  • @limboski696
    @limboski696 3 года назад

    Great video especially with a historical perspective in mind. However, flying level near sea level is a great way to die from AA in my experience. (What was the AA level set to on this ships in the IL-2 mission editor?) I see these techniques as inferior if you are a good low-angle dive bomber.

    • @RequiemsACTL
      @RequiemsACTL  3 года назад +1

      I just set this up in the quick mission editor so I'm not sure what the level is set to. In RL the big advantage to this attack was that because they came in low and were hard to spot up until they actually performed the attack, but against AI obviously this isn't possible as they're all seeing/all knowing. In the sim though it's a lot of fun to attack to this way compared to a dive bombing attack.

  • @Raptorrat
    @Raptorrat 3 года назад +1

    *looks at diagrams* huh, looks a lot like my skip-bombing technique, I picked up in Il-2:PF.
    Req: "and if you release early, the bombs will skip to the target."
    Ah, that's why...
    As a question: any plans on redoing the older Il-2 vids to the boBP standard?
    Regardless, top job on all of them,

      Thanks Jos, are you referring to the original B of Stalingrad videos? I don't plan on redoing those as it would take a lot of effort/timr and I don't think the results are that much different if I did

  • @LosBerkos
    @LosBerkos 3 года назад

    So is the 'Turnip' part just the colloquial term Luftwaffe fliers used for masthead bombing, or is there some added finesse to this particular technique that's lost on me?

    • @RequiemsACTL
      @RequiemsACTL  3 года назад +1

      I wish I knew....my uneducated guess is that the way turnips look when coming out of the ground is like how the ships silhouettes look when you're attacking them as I believe this technique was used near sunset, so the ships stand out against the dusk horizon. Maybe someone else truly knows why the "turnip" is in the name. It's essentially a masthead attack, but there is a little tweak in the second example as it utilises a toss bomb to increase the range whereas the other one relies on a straight and level release at a closer range.
