Comments about the gunners will be deleted.
If you cannot make out the gunner's fire, go to the ophthalmologist. I know I did not highlight them firing, but it's still visible. They are set on the highest possible skill level, so they actually fire way more then they usually would. Most of my gunners were dead after Tony's first volleys, dead men don't shoot!
As for me, I was surprised with no (visible at least) impact on attacking aircraft. No need for irritation here, this is not mission author's "fault".
FW 200 model always looked a bit weak in terms of damage model and gunner's accuracy - since the day it appeared in Il-2.
Oh Fishy, you are just mad that you got taken out by a tire :D
chill...it's barely noticeable....
Okay, where are the gunners? were they sleeping? The FW-200 was in contrary to other german bombers heavely armed, also with 20mm cannons. Additionally, without carriers the Hurricane could'nt operate over sea.
@@ichmalealsobinich Look up the "Sea Hurricane". This was a Hurricane mounted on a deck catapult on a merchant ship. It could be launched when enemy aircraft were spotted. Obviously this was a one-way trip, the pilot was expected to either fly back to land or bail out after their mission.
I didn't know Hurricanes had a melee attack.
That gear kill was incredible!
👍Tony is a hero of a day!
@5:30 looks cool and nicely done, however I doubt IRL it would be possible to take off a wing (nope, not happening) and loose a wheel with minimal impact to hurricane (nope again not happening). Not to detract it was well done and looks cool in video, but it does highlight il-2 1946 damage and flight model weaknesses...
5:56 give that man a Victorian Cross!
But did he land safely 😳
@@itmejac6945 If he was flying a CAM-ship Hurricane, then no.
fishyyy showing off in a beat up plane, killing the most ships
Fishyyy is a good one!
That pilot has just been awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. That was a treat to watch.
Good to see this great game played properly!
landing gear attack! great!
O Tony é o melhor e ainda é brasileiro kkkkkk
Representou kkk
I have flown IL2 since it came out and I have NEVER seen a landing gear take down of any aircraft , much less a four engine bomber. Did you guys practice that move. Very impressive!!
Really fun gameplay, no comments, no shouting, no loudness. Just professional gameplay. IL2 1946 still gives the best fun. Keep them coming!.
UGH!!! BASED PIXELIZED CONDOR! love IL2 :) Memories at it's best! p.s Thank You for Your Service!!! best ace of atlantic
Great to see a Brazilian playing this game, I do play as well!
LOL Tony!!!! Ace maneuver right there!
Great video, shows deficiency in early British fighters. Even with 8 guns the .303 was just to light to be effective. Thankfully they started using 20mm cannon. I'm still wondering why the US never adopted this practice except in a few types (p38,and 39).
It would be very helpful if you would consider making a tutorial video on how to install the mods you use. Especially for Steam version. Just sayin' :)
This please!!!
Fw 200s : Oh look! A convoy, time to get that thing *deleted*
Hurricanes : *_I'm about to end this whole bombee crews career_*
The old and tested undercarriage-kill: does it every time, or in my case, at least 1 in 100 times;)
Top que o Br abriu o trem de pouso e acertou a asa fw200, top d+
Ss, achei foda q foi o melhor acerto da partida, na minha humilde opinião, é claro.. aeuhusea
Kkkkk sejamos modestos, Tony arregassa
How about a clash between a Condor, and a Sunderland flying boat.
Condor pilots called the Sunderland aircraft the flying porcupine, due to its heavy fire power !
Everybody talking about the wheel-kill, but that first pass at the first Condor? Killing the pilot immediately, and that view from the ventral gunner who could do nothing, and that fireball tumble when it hit the water? Damm
epic! great camerawork and flying!
his camera work is the best
And TONY for the most creative kill.
Did the Luftwaffe ever attempt to use fighters of any kind to escort FW-200s during the early parts of WWII?
Why would they do that? Before the advent of the Hurricat, the likelihood of a Condor encountering an Allied fighter hundreds of miles out to sea or even near its own bases was practically negligible. As well, any fighters with the necessary range to escort a Fw200 for even a portion of its patrol would have been twin engine aircraft (most likely Ju 88s or Bf 110s) that would have been similarly vulnerable to single engine fighters such as the Sea Hurricane, so it wouldn't make any sense for the Luftwaffe to waste much needed aircraft on such duties.
The obvious problem with escorting a Condor is, that it has way longer range then anything else in the Luftwaffe. One of KG 40s groups, the unit which used the Condors, was equipped with Ju-88C-6s, though.
"That month also saw an unfortunate accident befall KG 40’s new Zerstörer Staffel, equipped with the Ju 88C-6 (the unit would become V./KG 40 at the end of the year). Although ostensibly a nightfighter, the Ju 88C-6s supplied to the unit were to be used to perform armed reconnaissance and escort missions in daylight over the Bay of Biscay. It was hoped that the heavily armed C-6 could hold its own against Coastal Command fighters, as well as shoot down maritime patrol aircraft. The aeroplane’s effectiveness in the latter role was quickly proven on 15 July 1942 when Feldwebel Henny Passier shot down a Wellington of No 311 Sqn. However, in the process of getting used to operating in conjunction with the Fw 200, Hauptmann Karl-Hans Weymar collided with a Condor in his Ju 88C-6 during an air combat training mission on 22 July. Both the Condor, flown by Feldwebel Alfred Praschl of 9./KG 40, and Weymar’s aeroplane crashed near Bordeaux-Mérignac, killing all three in the Ju 88 and the eight-man Fw 200 crew."
Goss, Chris. Fw 200 Condor Units of World War 2 (Combat Aircraft) . Bloomsbury Publishing. Kindle-Version.
@@Fishyyy Those Ju 88 fighters on day patrol in the Bay of Biscay were also no match for the Beaufighters and later Mosquitos that the RAF sent in there to protect their Coastal Command aircraft hunting U boats.
Early in the war the convoys did not have fighter escort. In 1941 the british deployed CAM ships to counter Condors. These where merchant ships that could launch Hurricanes, but not retrieve them. So the Hurricanes attacked the Condors then were ditched by the pilot, and pilot rescued. In 1943 the british got proper escort carriers in form of US built Bouge and Indepence class escort carriers.
@@emilrydstrm3944 The first operational escort carrier was HMS Audacity, launched in June of 1941. From late 1942 onward there were also Merchant Aircraft Carriers (MAC ships) which carried a few Fairey Swordfish armed with depth bombs and later rockets for anti-submarine support.
Seeing my favorite plane get killed by landing gear really upsets me, all those beautiful wide wing planes get slaughtered slowly by small tea drinker planes.
It was like watching a baseball game and seeing your home team losing round after round.
Tony My Hero!
Bebebshieids: I see a bomber and he is saying something I don't understand!
Focke wulf fw 200 condor c-3: Sour car to sad knee up in the hive on of red ana, copper yawn!
RAKHIDA vest a yeah rally a tin candy hold a punctured rally a tin!
Those were very determined crews on both sides. The Hurricane was deadly accurate as well, focusing on the cockpit once the gunners were killed.
No criticism from me. All involved fought hard.
Hey Fishyyy I have a question can u do a Tutorial on how to install ur mods. All the videos on RUclips on Tutorials are out dated I would really enjoy to play like ur group does
You are the one fish who can fly.

Do you ever wonder if Axis bomber pilots envied allied bomber defensive armaments? It's a huge disparity.
HE 177 grief had a 20 mm facing the rear thats better than any allied gun even attacking guns unless its a russian 37mm. I rather fly in a HE 111 over a Wellington any day as at least HE111 could take serious damage and still come home unlike wellies.
@@littlejimmy8744 well, it also depended a bit on who was holding the stick. There were well documented stories about Polish Wellie pilots who managed to return from Germany and touch down safely in England with no landing gear, one engine, wings and stabilizers shot to pieces and fuselages looking like Swiss cheese. But Heinkels were tough bastards too, no doubt about that.
@@alhernon Yes thats true but in overall in my opinion the He 111 where better than the wellies. They had larger payload, the guns covered a better area, and they where tuff birds. The wells had a proper rear gun which the He 111 lacks. Im also biased as i really like the look of the He 111.
@@littlejimmy8744 they surely looked more swift and in fact they were - I think it was Wacław Król, one of the BoB fighters and a Skalski's Circus flying ace, who told a story about a He-111 that actually engaged him in a regular dogfight. Król was an exquisite pilot, but that jerry caused him a lot of trouble in 1-on-1 combat. Heinkel got shot down finally, but Król's Spitfire looked as if it was hit by a freight train and was barely able to make it back to base afterwards ... :) Meanwhile, Wellies were well armed and majestic flying coffins. The only acrobatic manouevre they were capable of performing was a neat spin, as they were falling towards the ground in flames.
So yup, I understand your point and agree with you fully. :)
@@alhernon People think the German bombers in BoB where weak.
and unarmed. I read a figure that 12% of all RAF's fighter command aircraft shot down IN BoB came from German bombers defensive gunners. That is over 120 fighters shot down by Luftwaffe gunners with their peashooter MG 15's, not to mention the higher number of critically damaged aircraft. I don't know if it's true or not. i read that a Hungarian He 111 crew on the Eastern front. Where on a sole mission flying at low altitude when they where engaged by multiple Soviet fighters. The gunners claimed to have shot down 5 Russian fighter planes. The model was the He 111 H6 with a gunner mounted on the rear of the plane. They claim it shot down 3 of the Russian planes as they did to expect another gun to be placed right there.
Die FW 200 Condor war ein schönes Flugzeug. Die hab ich auch als Modell
Hurricane used Gear.
It was super effective!
Opposing Condor fainted!
TONY CHEATED! lol great vid! the game looks so good!
Nice!!!!
Guessing from there being only 2 hurricanes over convoy I'd say they were catapult launched from the "merchant ships"
That was mint
Awesome montage. "Like" from Ukraine, guys.
Did the condors actually do skip bombing? i though they just flew 500 metres above the water and dropped bombs whichever direction their target is going and hope they didn't turn on time
Level bombing only I believe.
Nicee
Nice
crazy hurricane
What gunsight mod for the hurricane?
Totally worth it....😄😄😄
Great video. But, where did 2 short range Hurricanes come from to find 3 Condors in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean? They didn't have arrester hooks so they were not carrier based. The only other option is they were catapult launched, "single use" Sea Hurricanes from the convoy ships.
Hurricats I guess. The video doesn't show their launch point.
Condors almost always operated alone and bombing convoys was at best a secondary objective for them. Their main role was to find Allied convoys and report their position, course and speed enabling U boats in the area to move in for the kill.
5:33 the same goes for when you crash into an airborne paratrooper
Is there still a way to play IL2 1946 online these days?
From where is supposed to be Misha? Alaska?
I've been trying to install Ypack to my steam version but with no success. When i select iL-2 Selector it doesn't find IL2 exe Am i doing something wrong i pointed the download exe to my il21946 directory and have the most current Il2 1946. I posted on the steam forum if you would like to reply there . Thank you and by the way always great videos you been putting out here on youtube.
Ypack is a standalone installation, it already contains the base game. You only have to extract it anywhere, don't put it over an existing version.
Nice video. But historically, there would be only 1 Condor, and only 1 Hurricane.
Condors used to gather up in groups before attacking.
@@Fishyyy : I thought they did Atlantic recon patrols alone, because there weren't many of them.
5:38 LoL🤣
Was war denn da mit den Bordschützen los? :O
Reminds me of Robert Everett.
Hi Fishyy! First of all, thank you for your vids! They are fun, amazing and simply beautiful, since i love ww2 planes a lot! I'd like to join in but i'd have to purchase a more powerful machine than the one i now have. A little question: has the damage model/weapons effectiveness been revised in your install, or are you flying your missions with "realistic gunnery" off? In il-2 4.12.2 i do, since usually i have to score a 40% hits do down a bomber, i.e. 128 20mm shells to down a C-47, or nearly 900 (!) 7.7 bullets to despatch an He 111 (i did not, actually: that time he managed to make it home!), let alone that A.I. gunners need just a single hit to cripple my Spit...most challenging and fun but not very realistic, indeed! Anyway, thank you again for your works (some recent Hollywood productions are by far less realistic...)!
Hey, thank you for the positive feedback! No, we do not fly with realstic gunnery off, we pretty much fly on realistic. Shooting down a He-111 with 7.7 bullets should be hard. There is a reason why the Luftwaffe kept upgunning their interceptors. To be honest, if you struggle to bring down bombers with 20mm shells, it's probably your fault. From real world statistics, I concluded that many aircraft in IL-2 are brought down by way less punishment, then their real counterparts would be. We are actually working on a mod that increases the amount of punishment a bomber can take.
@@Fishyyy of course you're right...you *should* be! The figures i quoted are the in game statistics. Of course, at the end of the mission i started complaining about my poor marksmanship and/or my wrong tactical choices, then i discovered that my score wasn't that bad at all. That's why i'm this puzzled. How can you become the new Vejtasa when shooting down a single plane (with a fairly good aiming) empties your mags? With realistic gunnery off my 20/30% hit average percentage means that under VERY favorable conditions i can get 3 or 4 kills, at least against Japanese aircraft! Thank you for your answer, i'll turn realgun back on and see and try to get better!
@@Riccardo_Silva aim your fire - shoot engines, pilots, control surfaces. Emptying your belts into wings or fuel tanks is pointless unless you have high caliber
you ever need an extra pilot give us a shout aye @Fishyyy
Последний оказался живучим, пришлось таранить...
Opa, um Br jogando
I love seeing condors in action.
Until Tony cheats...
What happen the next the plane don,t have a gear sooo he can,t land right?
Take out the gunners on the first pass then riddle the cockpit it's going down
I might be wrong, but FW 200 gunners skills are surprisingly low. And fuel tanks not self sealing?
You would think for such a large aircraft it could eat a few 7.7 machine gun bullets the HE 111 could take serious beatings and still make it back plus their gunners are pretty good.
What mod is this. VP mossack? Edit: Nevermind I checked the description
Gotta love that description box

Yes I checked right after posting my comment and saw its Y pack but thanks anyway
what's a good joystick for this game on a Windows 10 system?
@EastTexan Thrustmuster 160000m.
Good even for the most recent IL2 versions.
This game in Steam version runs on W10??
For me it does
Hey pal, how you make play in HD, 1920 x 1080?
There's an option, somewhere in the settings, to enable full screen. I also might have enabled "use wide screen fov", but I'm noy sure about that one.
@@leonjeronimomolina516 If you get the 4.12 patch from team daidalos, you will have wide screeen capabilities. I play in 1980x1080 myself ;)
@@cristiantatar5638 that patch works in Steam versión?

5:30 Neat trick, but now you can't land.
Now he has to find a way to land, but in a HARD way.
That was cheesey

Da German bomber reminds me of a German Douglas d-3 with 4 propellers
It’s a not really
Do you guys failed in protect the convoy. At least 3 ships sunk.
I guess I succeeded, as Condor pilot. *Facepalm*
Wheres the tailgunners!?
They are firing and their fire is very visible, it's your fault for not noticing. The rear gunners usually die pretty quickly, so, they also cease fire.
Como juegas multiplayers
Tony jogo muito, mito
That didn’t last very long haha
Je cherche un gamer français qui puisse m'expliquer si il existe des versions récentes de IL2 qu'on peut faire tourner sur Windows 10 ou 11 ?
