Hi all, sorry about the qualify of the video, the raw footage had some issues and the video editor would not create a proxy cache so I edited it like a powerpoint presentation so its a little bit rough with timing and edit cut aways/transitions.
12:37 That shows the true horror of war - keep watching as the pilot bails out of his burning plane and then watch as he plummets towards the sea, with his parachute little more than ashes... imagine that poor bastard's last moments. Countless men met their end in that fashion.
This reminds me of when I was on holiday in Newchurch I stumbled upon a gravestone belonging to a pilot named Arthur W Clarke who flew in a Hurricane with 504 Squadron based at RAF Northolt during the Battle of Britain. He was reported Killed In Action on September 11th 1940.
I think you narrowly avoided becoming the fuel bowser's third victim, a shame we didn't get to see whether it blew up or not but I probably wouldn't have risked taxiing over there to find out in case it survived it's date with the hangar wall.
Love a bit of clod action, a very underrated game. Always find it a lot tougher to get kills than great battles, certain elements such as the sea are so much nicer as well than great battles, damage modelling as well has the edge.
The Hurricane I was a lot slower than the Spitfire I, but was easier to take off and land, and was a more stable gun platform. Perfect for pouring bullets into German bombers. It could easily out turn the Bf 109E but was much inferior in climb rate.
Enemy tail gunner"Fritz, there are bandits at our 6" Pilot: " Ok Oleg, shoot him down." TG: "There's more than one, it's the Englanders..." P: "Well, what, like 3 or" TG: "It's the WHOLE COUNTRY!" 16:06 It's maddening to me how the AI can fly straight and level perfectly, and the split second you get lined up and pull the trigger they jink before the BBs get there. Even when you're below and behind where there's no way for them to see you coming!
I fly the 109 - F ... a good Hurricane pilot is a force to be reckoned with... DO NOT ENTER INTO A TURN FIGHT.... keep your speed up and go vertical and extend away....
That 109 Pilot at 12:58 bailed but never opened his chute...he went straight in the drink from altitude? N00t had to be driving that Cider Bowser LMFAO
I know you have probably already tried this and have your own preference, but I found that my accuracy actually improved a lot when I stopped zooming in while firing. Anyway, Great video!
I do like this game, though I wish they'd get the VR support out a little quicker. But it is a nice change from BoX. I really enjoy the early aircraft, and the change of scenery doesn't hurt either. The new sky tech they just started showing off looks amazingly good as well.
Fact: First kill of my paternal grandpa actually _was_ a German waterplane while he was flying a Hurricane 😁👍 - and he got injured so badly that they almost sent him back home.
@@louisavondart9178 Have a closer look at the video! I am well aware what a CAP is! The pilot avatar is wearing a cap, as in a cap, as in something you wear on your head!
@@johnclarke2553 Yeah, and did you notice the push-bike standing up with no visible sign of support towards the end of the video? That made me giggle too!🤣
I know the reputation of the Hurricane. But I never really cared much for the aircraft. Maybe I was just 'spitty spoiled!' While the Hurricane was the real backbone of the RAF, the Spits got all the glory.
How do you get into the bomb sight of bombers???? I tried everything. I get to the bombers position and there is dials thats it. I have clicked on everything but no sight.
How those AI Hurricanes didn't clean you out in the attack on the float plane is a mystery to me, and if that is not enough for you, you've gotta watch out for those Kamikaze fuel bowsers on the ground!🤣 It's clear you've got the landings in a Mk1 Hurricane sorted! Two 10/10 three-point landings for sure!
Hi all, sorry about the qualify of the video, the raw footage had some issues and the video editor would not create a proxy cache so I edited it like a powerpoint presentation so its a little bit rough with timing and edit cut aways/transitions.
What kind of German floatplane was that?
He 115 B2 got it.
The Hurricane was so under rated. A legendary plane nonthess
Aaaw meanie! I love those He115 seaplanes. I had an Airfix model of one way back in the day. You shot down my nostalgia. Bunch of Hurricane bullies...
You like to fly the Hurricane and it shows, Taff. Perfect 3-point landings every time.

Way better than Netflix…love the video
that old game still going strong..
Nice three point landings Taff !
Glad to see you back in Cliffs of Dover, Taff :)
So good to see you back on CloD!! Hugely exciting times ahead!!

Please make this an career, its awsome
Love the Hurricane, great mission Taff.

For some reason, like the obsolete Hurricane more than the Spit. Nice Video.

Did that German who bailed (second one) chute open? I never saw. Looked like he did a freefall into the channel.
he certainly did, at 13:01 there is a small white splash that was him :0)
Yep his parachute opened, very low down.
Enemy tail gunner"Fritz, there are bandits at our 6"
Pilot: " Ok Oleg, shoot him down."
TG: "There's more than one, it's the Englanders..."
P: "Well, what, like 3 or"
TG: "It's the WHOLE COUNTRY!"

Glad to see CLOD getting some love. It looks a lot better now than it did on release.

12:40 there is something oddly satisfying about watching that pilot fly into nothingness.

Man, that must have been one helluva painful belly-flop!😲😬
That fuel truck had to go number 2 no dilly dallying
Awesome video! I really enjoy the Hurricane from the Cliffs of Dover, specially the machine gun sounds. lol
At the end scene; there is a lot to think about, but now off to the Pub.
I know you have probably already tried this and have your own preference, but I found that my accuracy actually improved a lot when I stopped zooming in while firing. Anyway, Great video!
I have found this true as well.
Great video, LOVE this

VR is fantastic. And I'm enjoying flying all these different planes. I've been flying the Martlet of late.

I wonder if you were up against Galland or his pal Molders 🤔👍
Playing @ 4K , you can see the shape of the aircoolers under the wings, making it easy to identify aircraft.
Love the video! It must be the only Hurricane pilot in the BOB who flew his aircraft in a cap, rather than a helmet and oxygen mask!
umm, no. " Cap " in this case means Combat Air Patrol.

I do not understand why you dont move to jet simuls, it seems the natural progression.
Jets are frickin boring! Press a button and the plane flies itself. This is REAL proper flying!
I know the reputation of the Hurricane.
But I never really cared much for the aircraft.
Maybe I was just 'spitty spoiled!'

Entire first flight wanted the first kill award

No after action report?
No VR support yet?
Interestingbecause Tangmere got pretty badly smashed up on 15 August.
👍👍🏴
How many Hurricanes does it take to change a lightbulb?
That's the beauty of the .303, it takes all of them!
Hahaha
Made my day seeing this. I assume this is a stock career??
