Educational PC IL-2 Vids

Doktorwzzerd · #1 11-04-2009, 04:22 PM

I thought posting some good youtube vids of PC IL2 players that helped me in BoP might be interesting to some of you. If you have nay you'd like to share, please post.

Watch this guys youtube vids, hes a pretty good shot and I learned a lot about ranging, deflection and using your sight from watching. Notice how he never shoots at anything outside of the outer ring, and also uses it to set up high deflection shots. Also note how he ranges every shot so that the bandit at least spans the distance from his reticle to the outer ring (approx 200yds). :

This is a great vid to see a rolling scissors used in defense as well as a superb example of how to keep your head on a swivel:

great anti-bomber tactics, use of yo-yos, immelmans and head swiveling on this (also note how the P-47 IS NOT a POS):

Great gunnery video (somebody might have posted this before, can't remember):

Watching that 190 vs Spit video really illustrates how poorly modelled the 190 is in BOP. It's nearly useless in a dogfight but in reality it was often preferred by Luftwaffe pilots over the 109. I can understand some dispute over that, but if you were to fly the 190 BOP there would be no dispute...it's a lemon.

Nice find there ... kudos to you.

If we can get that sort of precision after the update with a stick, I will be a very happy person.

Thank you for posting these. Can anyone tell me if those are the stock 1946 graphics in the first video or if he has mods installed?

Not an expert but they look stock. If you look at the color combat footage in the gunnery training vid, THOSE ARE MODS and they are pretty impressive, it looks as good as BoP.

Right on, exactly what I was thinking. Good stuff, thanks again.
