french Tempest Ace Pierre Closterman recounts in his book "The Great Circus" that a Spitfire actually managed to shoot down an intruding low-flying Arado Ar-234 flying below, putting his Spitfire in a steep dive. Afterwards the Spitfire was battered, with popped rivets on the wings, but did much to boost the Spitfire side in the friendly rivalry beetween Spitfire and Tempest pilots, Spit pilots joking, that''s something you've never been able to achieve with your lead sleds (meaning the Tempests). Another good-natured joke was that the landing speed of the Tempest was higher than the cruising speed of the Spitfire :)

Reginald: Aye Tennyson! You hear about Taff? He did a disposable landing. Tennyson: Lost his G again? Reginald: Rather!

If you want to read an excellent book about this, read 'The big show' by Pierre Cloistermann.

Yes, read that in high school.

8:50 😆that Me262 pilot was like " -screw taking off from the runway!.." didnt end well for him😁😁

Still voting for a bomber career in an A20 or something, start as the squadron leader to control the bomb runs! Great stuff as usual.

I think that landing would qualify as a Jingles landing 😁

In his book Le Grand Cirque, P Clostermann narrates that the German Me262 ace Nowotny was thus killed by Clostermann's squadron while landing, on a "Rat Catching" mission.

IL-2 battle of britain would be great taff as i have been interested in the battle of britain for years :0) love the tempest and typhoon as they are the bigger brothers of the hurricane and i love the hurricane :0)

The trouble is there isn’t a career mode in cliffs of Dover which for me takes away from it quite a bit

The last iteration of the Tempest was the Done You Up Like A Kipper fighter.

Would be fun to see an MC.202 campaign. Whether it would be over Africa, Italy, or even an Italian ace born in the fighting on the Russian Front.

Interviewer: "What did you do, the first time you saw a German jet?" Chuck Yeager: "I shot it down." Your crew chief gonna be mad about having to clean all the burned grass out of your landing gear. Oh, wait. Never mind. :)

Love your honesty!

Very fun. Though in real life the Tempests were forbidden to go near the Luftwaffe airfields because of the incredibly heavy flak. They even had flak lanes leading to the runways to protect the Me262s landing and taking off. Scary flak!

@James Henderson. Interesting to hear that; I know tale of a squad of P-47's that tried to attacking & strafing a German air-field. Out of about 8 planes only 1 made it back. The pilot of that sole surviving plane, then stood up & emptied an entire clip from his 1911 into his seat!.. The P-47's had it rough due how Air Command used them as 'front-line shock-troops'

The absence of flak in this video is a complete fantasy compared to the reality of what pilots faced when strafing German airfields. Even if surprise was achieved in the initial pass, you'd pray that you were the first or second plane going in. Going back for another pass was almost suicidal. That was doubly true for the home fields for the ME-262. If I remember correctly, 8th Fighter Command after D-Day lost 3 out of 4 aircraft to ground fire vs aerial combat.

You also have to imagine that the Tempest or P-47 were not slow planes despite being propeller planes and way later in military air combat we still saw A-10 and Su-25 doing just that against more modern anti-air weapons and MANPAD at relatively similar speeds (but not really the same altitude it depends) which is crazy despite the technology also involved for those such as countermeasures, electronic warfare jammers, targeting pods and better accuracy/weaponry per attack. It’s amazing how dangerous CAS role really is and the pilots who have the balls to do that.

I've said it before, the more i look/watch this aircraft.....she's a grower.....yea ....she not a bad looking aircraft and when you see the pilot you really get a sense of the scale ...one big pretty girl.

yeah a c.202 would be kinda cool. But a north Africa campaign would be great too. Whatever you decide we will enjoy Taff.

Thats one way to bleed off all that speed

Hahahaha! That landing was hilarious. Tell you what, Taff. Just quickly hop out of the crate and nonchalantly amble over to dispersal. No one will notice a thing!!! By the way. I'm pleasantly surprised you're back in the Tempest. She is a sweet aircraft!

Very nice strafing

A new beginning, and with good old Blighty, may you shred all before you. Also, I support you doing the Italian over all if your still deciding on which one to do a sires on. Show us the true nature of an Italian in the war!

Really hope you'll take up a Macchi 202, would be an interesting career and your first full Italian foray after a few single missions. Failing that, it should be BoB as that would be a nice shakeup.

I vote for German Jabo campaign either a -109E or a 110, possibly the Hs129.

I love the 129, everyone complains about it, but for me it’s the best ground attack gun platform in IL2, so stable!

The Flak had lunch time

Read "The big show" "Le grand cirque " P.Clostermann... Story of 122 wing..

I think you invented stunt strafing on this mission.

mh at least your tailwheel was full deployed :D

Yeah clear the runway Taff, lol! Anyways, good mission despite the annoying static targets (which is actually a pretty stupid idea if true IMO). Pity you didn't, or couldn't, take some rockets with you.

I'm happy with any plane. Add long as your having fun, so am I :). I'd love to see you try Growling Sidewinders channel map campaign once it's finished It looks really fun.

The book name is the big show, not great circus😂😂

CLIFFS of Dover would be nice please.

possibly but I would guess its a game "non live object" issue rather than a clever ruse

I'd like a battle of Britain play through but I'd also like a Torbruk play through............but then there's the 202......and the JU88...ok I can't decide, good luck Taff :-)

Fascinating how ground strafing reveals how having guns on the wings brings into play your guns convergence aimpoint... IMO The Allies missed a trick in that almost none of their fighters had the central fuselage mounted weapons whereas the Jerries included this setup basically in every fighter they made...

Honestly officer those trees jumped in front of me

I’m think the next il-2 bodenplant mission is a spitfire ixe career or il 2 cliffs of Dover Tobruk spitfire or hurricane or Kittyhawk career

Quick question Taff will we see the HE162 Volksjager in this tempest campaign,along with AR234 Blitz bombers and other types of 262 be interesting way to show the different tactics and strategies needed

@@lucius6667 Yeah it is a shame, I suspect it's a quality control issue. Il-2 FB has such high level of damage modelling etc that it must take a load of man hours to develop an aircraft ready to be put out so that only a few get put out each year. At a guess anyway. Il-2 1946 is great though, I doubt the level of detailed modelling required for FB would permit the direct use of a aircraft model from 1946 (but then, I know bugger all about really, I'm just surmising!) :)

Il-2 game engine not displaying 20mm cannon impact effects on the ground like it should around 7:24-7:26 during strafing run.

In IL2 can you play as a gunner in a Lancaster?

In real life those parked-up 262s (no apostrophe) would have camouflage netting and AA guns.
