I just realized this is the opposite view of Wolfpack's I-16 play through. While the full career is dynamic, the starting missions for most squadrons are usually the same. The unit Taff is playing here of HE's looks to be the same as the one wolfpack's I-16 unit is sent to intercept on their first mission.
If i may add some things: When using the Bombsight, you dial in the winddirection in relation to your position, and not like you did as absolute position. Fir example if you are flying a straight eastern heading and the wind comes from 180deg, you would tune 90deg from the right ;) Oh and for the altitude you too have to consider target elevation. in this case 45m so if you are at 2400m, you would have to dial in 2355. Hope that helps a bit :D
Huzzah! He-111 campaign! Not nearly enough bomber campaigns on youtube.
the Heinkel is one of the prettiest bombers of WWII.
How dare you. The Fw 200 is far prettier
@@cydon1anknight348 hell no. It's a passenger plane with gun bubbles slapped onto it.
@@5peciesunkn0wnThat's why i like it. It looks like a Bomber C 47. I do think the He 111 is a beautiful plane. Every ww2 plane is pretty in its own way.
the he111, a genuine beauty
Still wait on B-17 .. just to play with the whole (friend-)squadron in ONE Bomber x-D would be nice
Nice to see someone flying the 111 :) You set your bombing computer up incorrectly though. The bottom left dial is the Wind Angle dial - that is the angle that the wind is hitting your plane, not the direction of the wind as given in the forecast. Forecast Wind was 235 degrees, if you look at the compass in top left of bomb computer you can see that 240 degrees is directly behind you ie you would set the ‘wind angle’ bottom dial to 180 degrees if the wind was 240. 235 degrees would, therefore, just be another 5 degrees counter clockwise to this so you should set to “175 degrees from the right hand side”. AI auto dropped for you I guess which is a pain but if you were manual dropping you would have found it even trickier as you had off set your bomb sight (possibly when you were trying to find the bridge at some point we don’t see in the video?) - you need to make sure the two red arrows in the middle top left of screen are centred before you hit ‘drop’ if you want to hit release at the right point.
I disagree... the computer needs true wind, not relative.
I agree

"Good. Twice the pride, double the fall.
Cool campaign. And nice editing ! thank you.
Great post looking forward to watching next
Such a chill video, it is a pleasure to watch.
Dude, Taff in Exile I love your IL-2 Great Battle missions, your commentary and more importantly your bomber missions!
Very nice. The 111 is my favourite WW2 bomber. I don't know why as it was outdated by that time... I guess that it just looks great.
I would have liked to see a P-38 career, but nonetheless quite excited for the upcoming campaign!
He 111 is absolutely gorgeous plane!
Every designer and engineer in aviation at that time: "...should be streamlined and slippery if possible" :D
I-16 designer: "MAKE THE FRONT A BIG FLAT SURFACE }o/ ....and put some holes in it for additional turbulence \o/
"Additional turbulence sir?"
I-16 guy: "Yes I don't trust air OO"
"But Sir you are an aircraft designer"
I-16 guy: "DON'T TRUST AIR!"
Air: exist
USSR: its know as "enemy to the state"
I guess Im kinda off topic but does anyone know a good place to stream newly released movies online?
@Danny Albert Lately I have been using FlixZone. Just google for it =)
@Justice Korbyn Yup, I have been using FlixZone for months myself =)
@Justice Korbyn Thanks, I signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) Appreciate it!!
Thanks for sharing. I cant wait to fly german bomber campaigns. At the moment I'm busy with the Reflected Spitfire campaigns in DCS. But seeing this I might soon switch over to the 111 or 88 in IL-2👍
Majestic birds. Although pretty fond of fighter aircraft, I have a soft spot for medium and large (strategic) bombers. Beautiful warbirds.
Iirc parked planes are only static planes, usually the ones in hangars or on the field covered. Any actual AI controlled planes are listed under their classification, even if bombed on the ground.
You had me at "Heinkel."
I wanted the Italian plane :( but HE was my second pick!
Same. The MC202 is so sexy, but underpowered.
@@KorbinX If only its guns would do anything...
Nice job. Very enjoyable.
Hell yeah, my favourite plane ever
The He 111 is an amazing aircraft.
Intresting a bomber carrier is the first time i ev see this in YT
Feldwebel (FELT-veebel) is equivalent to the British Army Sergeant and the US Army Staff Sergeant or Tech Sergeant.
www.ww2.dk/misc/ranks.htm
1:04 - You have actually joined 1 (Roman numeral I) Gruppe of Kg 100.
15:16 - Polikarpov (pauli-KAR-pov) I-16.
15:48 - You have to ALWAYS remember to LEAD your target. Always lead him MORE than you think you need to. Your forward velocity will make the bullets seem to curve to go further behind you. Plus, the enemy's velocity will put him quite a bit ahead of where you're aiming, by the time the bullets get that far.
i agree... the flying on this channel is good, but the gunnery is quite bad
sorry but how is it that when you are a fighter going for a bomber, the AI gunners are absolute sniper animals landing 9 out of 10 bullets.... when you are in a bomber your same AI gunners are blind as a bat and can't hit the broadside of a barn?
Yeah! Exactly. I’ve had three Russian careers ended by incredible gunners.
@@peterdunn8583 Murphy's Law of Aero(mint-bubble)drivelling(easter-egg)hydro-mecho-dynamics .. old bean. Its sorta kinda like 'time', you know, all wibbley-wobbley relativity. No bias or stacked cards or silliness, just, erm, 'science' .. if you see what I mean. Yeah! ;o)
Probably different Ai. Need to keep thibgs interesting for both sides depending on what your piloting.
@@TheLeonhamm Best reasoning ever.......Lol....No bias against you at all when your a human pilot (cough cough).....
Probably because firing in a perfect line is essentially the default setting for any AI - in lieu of another way to set difficulty they've left the enemy AI with perfect aim and caused dispersion to affect the friendly gunner AI.
18:29 Dragon's Jaw
Vebel, like heritage, not wabbel or wobble.
Nice to see you have chosen a bomber and not one more fighter plane. Could be interesting if you avoid being shot down.
Is there any way to use the belly guns?
Well, you survived and the landing was pretty good.
I really wanted that p-47, maybe next time
Terrific choice, glad I voted for the 111. One of my favorites. Have a great weekend and stay healthy.
Feldwebel ("Felt-Way-Bell") = Sergeant 🍺😁👍
The graphics are sick.
Now I see why Hurri's did so well in the BoB...
Yeah, well I'll give the He-111 credit for being pretty speedy. Those I-16s were struggling to overtake from behind but watch out for the Yak-9s. That'll be a different story!
The He-111 is a pretty good medium bomber, but I still think of it as a flying dump truck. Give me a fighter any day! Hark! Do I hear "Hiss, boo" from the peanut gallery?
HISSSSSSSSSS.
Yup, I think the I-16 was pretty obsolete at this stage of the war, those Bf-109s really should have dealt with them pretty easily!
Pity no 20mm cannon as a dorsal weapon ... belt fed. Great video
Nice channel Fortis Leader!
Pretty nice video
A career in the -111. I'll watch just out of respect. :)
great graphics
You have joined the famous KG100 "Viking"bomber squadron? Nice! That's one of the famous bomber squadrons in the Luftwaffe
Why?
@@neandertaler4154 At the battle of kursk squadron destroyerd so many bridges and troop concentrations that they delayed the soviet counter attack for 2 days and gave germans time to organise and deploy reserves and avoid getting flanked.
@@kingtigerinturkeyvol2620 Thanks man. Very nice
@@kingtigerinturkeyvol2620 Don't forget bombing of the civilian targets (villages and cities) as well...
@@asheer9114 Oh... Well, stay positive at least they were only villages and not cities with over one million inhabitants like Hamburg or Dresden wich were bombed into oblivion.
Ooh-oh! A career in bombing .. you say .. inside a flying greenhouse with pea-shooters for defence. Hmmm? Well, dear soul .. all I can say is, look out for those dastardly balloons, they are all vicious. Deck The Man Guns! ;o)
the realism of this game is unreal ... this is the result when WAR THUNDER & ARMA had a baby! i hope this game can become more mainstream though, its so underrated! and i hope to see future gameplays where you can play as tank crew or bomber crew with actual players playing every crew ... a full blown battle of berlin or battle of bulge with a tank with REAL PEOPLE AS CREW .. thats like a REAL ARMOUR COMBAT ROLEPLAY SIMULATOR ... thats gonna be fun.
Nice
You should try to play a co-op career with Wolfpack next, he'd love to have you with him.
Ay wanted to see an fw190 career but this is better
The music reminds me of the theme of battlestations pacific
And a great game that was
Taff, you're not going to shoot down many enemy fighters with those peashooters at such long range, you're not playing B-17 The Mighty 8th now with unlimited supplies of ammo. You need to hold your fire until the enemy are closer in to be effective and the pathetic capacity of these ammo drums demand short sharp bursts or you're going to be spending all your time installing new ones. It has to be said that those escorting 109s were about as effective as chocolate teapots if they can't deal with those obsolete Polikarpov I-16s!
to give credit where credit is due the I-16 was surprisingly effective at the beginning of the war, despite being only armed with rifle caliber guns and an inferior design compared to the BF109's, they were quite nimble and had a fighting chance against the Germans, if flown by an experienced pilot who used the plane to its advantages... having said that in this particular instance, I agree that the fighter escort could have done a better job, having a higher burst mass and the higher ground...
nice
Piloting that flying greenhouse IRL? No thanks! 😳
I gotta ask 1 how did u use the gunner 2 what key to look at hostile and friendly aircraft
You should use pat Wilson's campaign generator!
Taff you are the best
I liked my own comment
I like the choice of the HE-111.
I hope his choice leads into being able to eventually choose something like He-177 or Ju-290
How tough, if neither of those are in game?
@@hummerltheOh Well, that sucks then. They were some of the best Luftwaffe had to offer....maybe even better than their Allied counterparts.
@@hummerltheOh Just got confirmation that He-177 indeed is in the game.
@@Cybernaut76 I think you are talking IL-2 1946 whereas Taff is playing the IL-2 Great Battles series :)
In IL-2 GB there is no He 177
i voted stuka but this is cool too
Tomato Eins an alle...Tomato Eins an alle, Noch zehn minuten bis ziel. 😎👌 If you know, you know 🍻
Glad to see I'm not the only one with Battle of Britain "flashbacks".
this plane should be remastered and created with respect. tribute to ernst heinkel
May I ask which music you are playing while taking off? Thank you!
cool
Heinkel HE-111 is my fav after me109
Heinkel HE-111 beautiful aircraft, figures crossed we get a long series.
Dream on! Feldwebel Meir is green as grass...I give him 5 missions before he's shot down
@@jamesrussell7760 ha ha 5 missions, very generous of you. I was surprised he made the first, I did say figures crossed. 😁😉
He-111 good!
"Felt-Waffel" a soft Waffle you only eat in the field 😆
I commented about the capacity of the German defensive machine guns previously. It was a serious problem for them; they couldn't maintain sustained fire and (as far as I know), strangely never addressed the problem?
Pax dudes
Mg 81's shoot even faster and they made them belt feed so they could keep shooting.
@@littlejimmy8744 Good to know, now I think about it, from 'what I was told', it was a problem during 'The Battle of Britain', so I stand corrected.
Yes, they addressed the problem, makes good sense to me.
Thanks for that.
Pax dude.
@@conmcgrath7502 Yeah they also gave the He 111 a 13mm mg 131 which was belt feed and deals more damage. Its amazing how in the Battle of Britain. German bombers defensive fire shot down a about 10% of British fighters. Which is about 105 aircraft and damaged way more which where able to be repaired.
@@littlejimmy8744 👍
Taff do you ever fly with the Grim reapers or Sheriff ? just wondered.....Great video....Oh and they are Polikarpov I16s.....Rata.....
the soviets called them 'Ishak' (Donkey) because of their ahem temperamental behaviour at take-off and landing... 'Rata' is the nickname their counterparts in the Spanish Civil War gave them (or so I believe)... another nickname was 'Mosca' ('Fly') (given by the men who flew them in the same conflict)... the Finns called them 'Jastrebok' (Hawk)...
I'm curious does your plane follow whatever the formation does while you are a gunner?
It does, yes.
Am I the only one who is going to point out the way he said “Feldwobble” “Feldwaffle” lool
do you use track ir?
Have you tried getting up to speed them right before rotation then go full flaps?
Thinking you'll Come up to speed faster then having full flaps the entire run way.
At a rate of fire of up to 1120 rounds/minute you can bet that these magazines don't last long. Only short bursts with those MG-15's, or the recoil will spray the rounds all over the target area and you will blind yourself to the target for a few seconds. This goes double for the MG 81 (1500 rpm) and the MG81Z(literally 2 MG81's packed into one gun, 3000 rpm...yes really).
These were mounted mostly in the gondola where the belly gunner position is though. That position can also mount a 20mm MG/FF M to the front AND another 20mm MG/FF to the rear, for low level strafing. Rate of fire and ballistics made those poor defensive weapons however.
Well this should be nasty, brutish and short. :)
The rank of Feldwebel (pronounced felt-vebel) is equivalent to a flight sergeant in the RAF - the He 111's a great bomber too btw
Flight Sergeant is actually equivalent to Oberfeldwebel.
Hopefully, those fighter pilots were either killed or captured by the Red Army. That way, we will probably have escorts who know how to face enemy fighters in the next missions. It is dangerous to fly bomber missions with escorts who cannot do better than that with Me-109s against I-16 Polikarpovs.
They did their best, ok? :(
@@Altair1243WAR If that was the best they could do, then they should have applied for service in Wehrmacht Heer instead of Luftwaffe.
Yeah escorts absolutely lost the day
Get back in the bloody Tempest!
Tempest career is over because he was killed by FW 190 during one of the missions
@@asheer9114 I know. I watched the whole career.
Hear! Hear!
In 1917 Stuttgart was the capital of the Kingdom of Wurttemberg. The combined state of Baden-Wurttemberg didn't come into existence until 1952. But, that's down to the game makers and not yourself.
Hola
Where can this sim be bought, I assume it’s not part of the newer il2 series anymore, and what’s the chance it runs on windows 10? Getting really hooked on your bomber videos, hope you do some on the new b17 game when that releases.
Hello there. You assume wrong. It's the new-and-running il-2 sturmovik "Great Battles" series. You are always welcome to purchase it here: il2sturmovik.com
Can we get P-38 series or just some gameplay now and then taff
I am pretty sure those kill statistics are career, not that that one bombing run did that much damage.
Great battles run on windows 10?
Magazines only had like 50 - 100 rounds
Didn't they Mostly use belts on the air mg34? I may be wrong tho
wich edition is this
Merkel caput ! 🙃
I havent played in years. Is this a mod or thr base game?
Felt-vaybul or feld - vaybel. Phonetically
Oh awesome! I can tell by the tactical maps this was a day or so after 14th Panzer Corps broke out of the Vertyachiy bridgehead on the east bank of the Don River in the early morning hours of Aug 24th (I think) making a B-Line for the west bank of the Volga River. It reached the Volga near Rynok by nightfall having pushed a little over 35 miles through scattered Soviet dispositions clearly taken by complete surprise to the impetuosity of the move. Fiebig's 8th Air Corps was busy all that day providing all three divisions of the panzer corps with some of the thickest ground support ever provided by the Luftwaffe inflicting massive material losses against remnants of 62nd and 24th Army. The next day the Luftwaffe turned its attention to Stalingrad itself commencing carpet bombings of the city which would quickly prove to be a mistake in the coming weeks.
Maybe, the 111 was pretty. But slow, scrappy, underarmed.
I don't see how these bombers were shot down with all the guns on those things when most of the time the enemy was close enough to get shot up by all those guns 🤷♂️🤔
The guns onboard were a little lightweight, now if they had .50 cal that would be a different story
@@TaffinExile yeah u right 👍
JU88 Career?
"These ammo cans don't last long". Nope, not in an MG42 firing at 1000 rounds a minute. That's 16 rounds a second , 166 rounds per 10 seconds.
My mistake, they are MG15s. But they still have a firing rate of 1000-1050 rounds per minute. The MG42 could fire anywhere from 700-1300 rounds per minute. At 1300 rounds per minute that is 21 rounds per second and 210 rounds per 10 seconds.
HaHa!!! Historicaly realistic.....you obviously havnt seen "target for tonight"
feld vay bel
What game is this?
Nice video, but the modern pop background music spoils the immersive experience.
0:38 The rank of "feldwaffel" :D

You can't speed up the time when you have to fly for that long 🤷♂️🤔
Rather see allied aircraft taking these down in greater scores and less axis videos to be honest .
There was no Russia in WW2.Some Russians fought for the Axis powers.
The allied powers you mean 🙄
Hello
I'm second hahaha
Horrido Taff
This game is such a big copy of war thunder.
Ok kid. Think what you think.
I cant even watch this he doesnt know what hes doing. poor gun accuracy, poor situational awareness, poor bombing, no idea how to cover his gun patch in the formation
