IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946 - Sonderkommando "Elbe" aka the Luftwaffe “Kamikaze” in action

Sonderkommando "Elbe" was the name of a World War II Luftwaffe task force assigned to bring down heavy bombers by ramming aircraft into them mid-air. The tactic aimed to cause losses sufficient to halt or at least reduce the Western Allies' bombing of Germany. The pilots were expected to parachute out either just before or after they had collided with their target. The chances of a Sonderkommando Elbe pilot surviving such a practice were low, at a time when the Luftwaffe was lacking sufficient numbers of well-trained pilots.

Eran pilotos nuevos lo que no se sabe en realidad si eran voluntarios o obligados

A few things. I only made a couple of kills. Ramming bombers is harder than it looks! I also tried a frontal attack ram many times but I kept missing or blowing up in pieces..... I also realized now that I chose the wrong Gustav variation for these missions. Oh well. It is what it is. Enjoy the video.
