IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad Videos

Noticed there was no dedicated IL-2 Videos thread like there is for DCS. Thought I’d get one started.

Boy did this video bring back memories of flying the high altitude intercept in IL-2 1946 against the AI B-17s.

Of course, if that were AI B-17’s in 1946 I would have got one pass at them in my Fw-190 and been desperately trying to limp home with a shot up engine. Unless there was a pilot kill instead.

This guy’s videos always are worth watching. If you’ve got the time, it is worth it.

This guy did a real nice job with his video. A great musical theme from one of my favorite movies is used.

Been experimenting with IL-2 Flying Circus lately. Bought it on the sale recently. Found some old videos of others which are rather well done and really set the tone for the atmosphere.

And this one as well. Great stuff.

These guys do a real nice job in terms of tactics and teamwork. Looks like a nicely put together multiplayer campaign going on right now. Well worth the watch if you got the 20 minutes.

The video is of an air battle as seen from the ground crew view. The aircraft doing all the attacking was being flown by me. At the very beginning I am firing rockets at the FW-190 I am attacking. Likely as not I wasn’t going to hit anything but I figured I may as well expend them before dropping the tubes.

These three videos are of the same battle as Ground Crew View but recorded from different perspectives. All four videos were captured using the GeForce Experience program. Even though Great Battles is not one of the natively supported games it recorded everything just fine and there were no stutters or loss of frame rates while recording.

The plane despawned before it hit the ground due to a Pilot Kill.

Did something a little different with my last video. I did not live stream it, not quite that handy yet, but I did record one of our 352nd VFG group sessions and I uploaded that recording later that night. Took just shy of 1 hour and 49 minutes to record the flight and then just a paltry 10 hours to upload it to YouTube…

The video includes our TeamSpeak “chatter.”

  • 0:00 Engine Startup
  • 5:00 Outside View lining up to takeoff
  • 6:05 Takeoff Roll
  • 35:00 Loss of Engine Power / Disorientation in a Cloud (Minute: 35:00 - 40:30)
  • 55:00 Target Area (Minute: 55:00 - 64:00)
  • 1:04:30 Mission Results screen (Minute: 64:30)
  • 1:06:00 Egress Rendezvous Area (Minute: 66:00 - 73:00)

Forgot to run a track so I will not be able to watch from different perspectives at a later date. Oops.

Had a pretty successful quick mission with this one. Didn’t figure that I would have time to get to the main target area before we quit the warmup session and start the regular session so I decided to mess around a bit. Can’t complain, I flew through a hangar at around 300 mph and a couple of JU-88’s decided to come to the airfield to give me a target to shoot at too !!
