    Thanks for letting me learn. I startet 2 weeks ago and bigger planes suit me more than stressing dogfights. :) All the best for you my friend.

    If all bombings in WW2 were that precise, the towns wich have ports around were I live would still have some ancient buildings!

    @@RequiemsACTL Yeh I know lol and I was saying that just for the sake of saying it because it's not even the same type of bombing, the ports near where I live (Saint-Nazaire, Brest, Saint Malo, Lorient etc were bombed by huge formation of b-24, B-17 etc which bombed from much higher, only the head plane actulay aiming and the others releasing at the same time, so not the same thing as a lone ju-88 dive bombing! Nice flying and explainging as usual! I keep onrecommanding your videos to players who ask question about handling the aircratfs in IL-2!

I do feel very into learning as much as I can bout' how to pilot and the ways you ( lovely )teach here, I really like it Sir. Diving to bomb is something that amaze me too much, crazy. I feel some pasion as well about the schnellbombe( 3: do 17Z-2/ He111H(x)/ Ju88) and the Ju88A-4 it's great diving one and and finish a 18 revell one !!! In fact I'm trying to get info and books.

    Personal preference, but I like 1000m AGL. Whatever height you choose the horn will sound at that height... just make sure you don't make it below about 400m AGL or you'll possibly meet the ground lol

    Thanks for the reply. In the meantime I have found out that setting the bomb intervals with your mouse in bombsight view to 0.5 seconds doesn't hold (it will reset to 0.05 sec every time you leave the bombsight). So setting the interval via the shortcut key (Ctrl+B by default) is the way to go to prevent (nasty) surprises.

    Hello, I can't get name tags on aircraft on my tacview. You have them on your videos, how do you make that work? Also when I review my tacviews from Il-2 there are cubes under each aircraft in tacview. Again you don't have this problem, your tacview looks like my tacview does for DCS.. I'm confused as to why this is, I'v gone through all the options and settings in tacview and searched the internet for answers without success. Any help would be appreciated!

  • @RequiemsACTL

    I manually edit the airplanes to add/remove names so the enemies are anonymous. The cubes under the aircraft is a bug with the version of the tacview you have and should be fixed in a later update from what I've read. The same bug is present in the one I have at the moment, so videos you see without it were made with an older version.

    First time i ever did this i set it at 300, dont need to tell you what happened,i pulled as hard as i could on the stick but i just couldn't clear the trees ha ha ha ha, i have a nice WW1 and 2 aviation library and in one of my books there was a story about several Ju87s that crashed to the ground on a training exercise during the war or before it,it was kept real hush hush for morale purposes,fog was the culprit i believe, excellent story,i would love to read a big story on it but info on the net is slim regarding it,must have been a horrible sight,i think it was 5 planes or so.

    That's from Stuka by Hans-Ulrich Rudel, it was a demonstration put on for the army generals. The weather report said there was cloud cover up high and the group was to dive through the cloud and appear under it to finish the bombing run. Unexpectedly, ground fog developed so that the dive bombers though they were still higher up than they were and they crashed into the ground.
