Interestingly the V1 engine doesn't cut out in order to initiate the dive, the dive is done on a timer that forces the elevator to move, but this often lead to fuel starvation from the ramjet. It was actually intended to be a powered dive but didn't work like that in practice.
I don't want to be the 🧐guy, but V1's used pulsejets, not ramjets.

Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays everyone! I hope you're enjoying time with your families and friends. With my new airline and apartment situation in a less hectic place I've been able to restart work on some things, including this video about dealing with V-1s in Il-2. Enjoy!
When you wing nudged it you inadvertently sent it right into a road, which thus made it a more accurate and destructive strike than it likely would have otherwise been :D.
😂
Better a random road than a densely populated spot at least. If I was good enough I'd plonk them into the water every time
It seems modelled pretty well. It is pretty wild how simple that thing is, other than the gyro control which was pretty advanced for it's time. There's a video where some guys managed to get their hands on one of the gyros from a V-2, as well as the control systems, Which I assume isn't too different from the one in the V-1. They basically made a high voltage unit out of eBay bits to get the gyro going since one of the tubes in the vibrator(What they used to call step-up voltage converters) was cracked. It was wild hearing that thing spin up. Kinda scary too, that 80 year old thing screaming away. I don't remember what the RPM was it ran at, but it was incredibly high. Also insanely loud, lol. Anyway, good stuff as always. Hope you had a great Christmas!
That sounds pretty interesting to check out!
It's great to see you back uploading new content for IL2. Merry Christmas!
I remember hearing a recording supposedly taken during the BoB of a V-1 engine ominously cutting off as it flew overhead, and the recording ends as the person recording is scrambling for cover. Pretty chilling.
Nice video. In the real ones there was an explosive that severed the control linkage of the v1's elevator, causing it to dive straight down once it got over it's target area IIRC.
Thank you so much for your series with this game, i would 100% have ditched it after a couple of hours without them. Instead i have 600+ hours lol.
Appreciate it Bill, keep at it. We're all trying to get better that little bit a a time 😊
Awesome!
Now I need to try this with a C-47A.
😂 Good luck. I think your best bet is to ram it while it's still on the ski ramp!
As usual nowhere near enough people who need to see these are actually watching. The few, the faithful appreciate the level of effort required.
Tiny little buggers. Without target tags I assume it would take some pretty competent GCI to even find them.
Great to see another video from you Requiem. Thank you.
Cheers Snowy, hope you're enjoying the holidays!
That was amazing seeing that visualised
Hey Requiem !!! Was missing your videos !
Wish you the Best for the New Year 2023 !!!
Jcomm! It's been a while for sure, glad to be kicking things off again. Hope you have a great 2023 too!
Nice to see you back making the videos. A nice Christmas present to your followers.
I was expecting to see wing damage when you tipped it.
Do you plan to make a learn to fly video of the mosquito? I find it a real bear to operate on the ground.
Happy Holidays.
Cheers! I'm working my way back into things. The wing damage is possible actually, but it happens if you're too aggressive with your pull and roll to force the tipping.
Regarding the Mosquito... there are videos coming.
@@RequiemsACTLThanks for responding so quickly.
After seeing how easy the mustang now will snap its wings when pushing the nose over to avoid a collision when overtaking your target followed by a roll and pull however slight I thought for sure your wing tip would snap off even though your were gentle.
Good to know that you will be easing back into the videos.
Weeeee! Always love it when video games recreate reality!
Wahaaaaay!!!! A late Christmas present from 'Chalky' Req!! Hope y'had a goodun' mate? 👍
Happy holidays, hope yours was fun!
Mine was ok, I was out flying passengers to where they needed to go, so at least they got to spend it with family. I was home New Years eve then out again early morning Christmas day before coming home a couple days later.
Great video as always mate. 👍
Are there single player missions for intercepting V1s yet?
Using the quick mission generator will let you create V1 intercept missions
Merry Christmas my friend! 🎄👍
Thats wild! Had no idea this was even possible! Do you know if this is unique to the V1 or can this be done with all aircraft?
You can touch all airplanes in close formation without causing damage but it has to be gentle.
Good video I was missing your content
Welcome back!
Merry Christmas!!!
Merry Christmas 🦌🦌
graphics settings pleasee
Ultra, no SSAO or HDR.
so what you mean is everything maxed out without ssaa and hdr? btw do u use sharpen and what anti aliasing do you use ? could you maybe send a picture?
Yes, so everything is set to the max possible with all boxes ticked except for SSAO and HDR.
got a dumb question not familiar with the plane.
Wouldn't the plane accelerate bit faster if you were to lower the rpm in a dive or more precisely change your prop pitch to be more coarse... hmm then again if the lever controls the rpm not pitch then that would be meaningless. You have to know this best (your vid is actually on Hertzell web for explanation). Just wondering if it was slip of a tongue or am i confused.
That is true on variable pitch propellers. The pitch angle of the blades have to be made coarser and coarser as the speed increases in order to make the prop paddle air instead of windmilling. This is how the Bf-109E-3 and earlier worked for instance.
However, on most if not all mid to late war warbirds, the prop is a constant speed propeller. That means a mechanism will keep the propeller spinning at a constant speed by adjusting the pitch angle of the blade.
That means when you apply maximum manifold pressure at max RPM, the propeller will move to a coarse pitch angle, in order to be paddling as much air as possible. The induced drag of the propeller will be minimal, however the spinning drag induced by the propeller will be at it’s maximum, which will make the engine give a high power output to be able to conserve the rotation speed of the prop.
If you go idle on high RPM however, the prop will go on to a fine pitch to reduce the spinning drag of the propeller in order to keep it spinning fast, but that will drastically increase the induced drag of the propeller.
So to make it short, on a constant speed prop, at a high manifold pressure output you want to give the propeller as much RPM as possible to be efficient. At a low manifold pressure output however, you want to have the propeller RPM down to increase the efficiency of the propeller. In any case, if you want to go as fast as possible with that type of mechanism, high RPM and high manifold pressure is the way to go.
That is my understanding of how prop RPM induces performance losses or gain, and how a constant speed prop works. Anyone feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.
I slightly modified my comment because I got confused with the definition of a fine and coarse pitch, I had them inverted. Now it should be better.
@@Robin-zu4re I thought so :-). Thank you for the answer. So it was the case of the pitch vs rpm lever.
Did they launch V1s at night?
Yeah they did. Obviously it would make them easier to spot in flight as well as increase vulnerability of the He-111 when used as the launch platform at night
Bro did you just upload a video?
Yeah I managed to make one now I'm all sorted out in Boston. I almost forgot how to make this stuff! Haha
@@RequiemsACTL Much love ❤️ keep it up
