I recall an interview with a German tank commander who was at Kursk, he said that he thought that one of the Ferdinands was hit by enemy fire because it had caught fire, turned out it had overheated, and I guess some oil or something had leaked and caught fire

That event was caused by an untrained driver over revving and being in too high of a gear, which caused the crappy German copper used in the motors to overheat and combust. Which added with the restricted airflow and 18 extra tonnes than what the powerplant was designed for made that all too common.

While it won't set them on fire (at least not that I've seen), driving with the transmission in second position for about 5 minutes or so will actually start to kill them. I did it off road for the speed until I realized my driver shout "The engines can't keep up!" before I opened the hatch and noticed the smoke billowing from them. Oops.

Man I love these videos! The editing with the different camera angles makes it really cinematic and entertaining.

P.S. - I'd like to see some T-34 or other Russian tank gameplay, as I feel like they're at such a disadvantage (especially at range) that some pretty clever tactics will be needed to take out a Panther or Tiger in a T-34...

Lucky you that the Ferdi doesn't have to worry about infantry (yet). Still quite a fun mission, although lack of air support definitely made things complicated for you two!

To be fair, infantry isn’t as much a big deal in tank battles. Urban engagements are typically where that is. (Kursk excluded cause Kursk was a cluster fuck)

@TurnStyleGames

3 жыл бұрын

That's also a pretty common misconception about the Ferdinand's performance at Kursk. They were rarely if ever taken out by enemy infantry - even cited by Soviet officers. Sadly the Ferdinand more often than not broken down and its own crew burned them down to avoid them being captured. The Soviets turned this around as propaganda, but in several memoirs the Soviet officers admit to encountering burned out Ferdinands that they did not attack/destroy. Now unreliable vs. "taken out by Soviet infantry"...neither is good, but the common idea that Soviet infantry were crawling all over Ferdinands in the middle of the fight is generally inaccurate.

Hi Wolfpack, Ive recently gotten this game and I am pretty fond of it so far, your gameplay looks awesome and the edits are very clean as well, Ive only done singleplayer so far but Im kinda afraid of doing MP cause all I have right now is kb and mouse, and a controller, but I use KB&M right now

sweet graphics and effects love the track ruts

Great engagements, nice teamwork and awsome cinematic shots. What's not to like? As for the next one: Maybe switch sides and go for SU-152 + T-34 (or some other medium armor) - whatever you choose, I'd like to see you work with Finnish again.

Solid! Top KEK! Peace be with you.

I'd love more SH3 or SH4. But, if you want to stick to the Finnish server, I'd like to see how they modeled the Sherman.

Thanks that looks great have fun

Great tank, great battle, great video!!! Can you fight in a Jagdpanzer IV L/70 "Guderians` duck"?

A convoy of one panther, a tiger and a ferdinanf would be cool(and maybe a Panzer III or IV)

Whoa I never knew there was tank Suff in IL-2, I never got the game cause I didn't have a flight stick but damn this looks fun

I enjoyed this gameplay, although it was much too slow for a good WOLFPACK345 commentary. Please consider redoing SH4, which remains the HALLMARK of remote gameplay and lends it's self so very well to your unique style and contains so many variables to make a redo fun to watch.

Jagdpanther would be fun to play and watch if you haven't already played it and if it's in game! I love the jagdpanther ❤️

I'm so excited to get this DLC 😁

Ferdie hits a ton!

I would love to see a sherman gameplay video :)

6:20 - That ping tho... At least as far as I know this unique way of an aircraft movement is not really common in Il-2 XDD

Do a collab where you're in a tonk and your bud is in the air. Bonus points if he's in a Po-2 spotting for a KV-1

Definitely know the feeling when two hands is not enough to handle looking, joystick, throttle and everything else on the keyboard. Just recently got a head tracking set and it really helps out, definitely recommending to start from that as it is not necessarily that pricey either. I think right now head tracker is a choice between do-it-yourself very cheaply / get a set for around 90 £ and do lots of setting up yourself / just get a more expensive set and skip most of the headache. Of course having a video on topic from Wolfpack would be welcome, but I can giver some directions as well.
