Thanks, glad it was useful info for you, Steve

Requiem does some good ground attack stuff and other things....

Hi Col. Your vids are always so helpful I thought I would try writing you directly. Sorry for asking a total noob question, but others may have same two questions, so I will ask anyway. So, where do you get trim numbers for your dive speed? Trial and error? Second, I thought I remember seeing in other videos that, when diving in e.g. a dive bombing scenario, the plane gets trimmed as the dive starts into a slight (or pronounced?) nose up attitude to aid in pulling out of dive. Is this correct, or do you trim only as you start pulling out, or do you keep the trim neutral all the time, or what? Any help appreciated!!! And thanks for all the great vids!!!!

ahah- slight misunderstanding on the concept of trim. Try this: Trim control lesson 3: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pp5ok8SEhMuaY7A.html let me know how this works out for you.

we trim to hold the ac in a particular attitude.

In a BF109 E7.(For vertical dive bombing): Short before arriving on target.(Speed ist 375km/h). Set clock to 9:30. Throttle to idle.(Altitude is 1500m) Start to go down. Now trim to -x(5,6(youll never reach that number)). Throw the bomb when your height is below 800-500m-400m or so. Bomb falls on target with some luck(watch the ball(artificial horizon). -> Set clock to automatic. Trim back to 0 (use flaps if your to low) . (Full) throttle.Stay low and avoid flak or go high and avoid flak(depends on situation and terrain). Remember to stay straight on line and dont do acrobatics when you want to hit the target the bomb might be going somewhere else you dont want to. You may also put the cooling flaps to fully closed if you having good temperatures.

There may be a great deal of technical explanation covering the ten seconds of an attack, in which more variables attach themselves. The concept is to try to do the same thing every time so you can make adjustments where needed. The goal is not to be dictated to by cockpit instruments but your spacial awareness of what is going on around you. Did the bomb hit the target? Yes? Great how did that happen? No? Why not, what can I do next time?

@@colninny8769 It isnt needed to set the clock to 9:30

Can you make a video on how the engine works, why I need to tune it in-flight, and when to do so?

Hi Mitch, there are many great engine management tutorials, sometimes called CEM (Complex Engine management) on the IL-2 forum. Try Requim or Der Sherrif. I usually fly just with the basic settings on the BF 109. If you want to fly the Heinkle or Stuka you will definitely need engine management tutorials on them. I can help with an understanding of fuel load vs performance, especially for the Heinkle.

Yeah I'm just getting into the game and I'm trying to do the Stalingrad campaign on the German side, I've got a high-alt bombing mission in the He111 but I can't make it a few kilometers from the airfield before my one of my engines dies, I kept it at about 75% throttle the whole time but it still won't last too long. Thanks for the sources though, I will take a look.

hehe yup, try taking off with 10 % fuel and a light bomb load. See my vid to understand why :)

What would be the process/formula to compute this for a higher velocity? If I wanted to fly a bit faster to try and evade AAA, how would I compute the trajectory of the bomb?

You can't. Or let's just say you wouldn't have time under pressure to figure it out. There's no CCIP calculation. It would have been all by the seat of your pants unless you are level bombing from altitude. See if this helps: kzread.info/dash/bejne/c4xn0KiGe9fdqto.html

Made zero sense. Plus most of your audience is American so I have no idea when it comes to metric sustem

German and Russian aircraft are all metric. You're looking at the concept of altitude and speed.
