(Click image for my movie web site, this movie is the top-most of the fun vids...)


I'm back online in "Il-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover", flying on the ATAG server. The Regia Aeronautica certainly gave me a warm welcome, but they got some pay-back a while later... :-)


An amazing thing about attacking planes in CoD is that there are literally hundreds of damage modes. Every time you attack the enemy the result is different. I think you can really see the difference here, between the first and second bomber I attack. Must have gotten a lucky hit with the first one! (It doesn't happen often). With the puny British .303 machine guns you usually need to give the enemy a good peppering, and even then you won't make catastrophic damage.


Flying online in CoD is just about the best fun you can have (with your pants still on...). I hope it shows in the video.


My online videos are usually recorded on the server of ATAG, http://theairtacticalassaultgroup.com/
On the ATAG server you can meet new people from all over the world... - and shoot them down in flames! It is a great place and I highly recommend that you try it out.


Hope you like this vid: comments very welcome. Oh, and tell others about my Channel if you think it is worth it...


Finally a big thanks to my fellow pilots in ATAG and to ATAG_Colander who made the amazing WWII radio mod for Teamspeak. I love the retro sound of it!

First bomber you got hits inside the bomb bay by the look, that seems to be what brought it down so quick.

I heard a minor break in the "illusion" of being in a WW2 fighter when someone's kid could be heard squealing on comms ;)

Well, its bombs didn't go off...?

Yes, kids in the background, and sometimes a dog... Amazing what WWII fighter pilots brought with them in their cockpits! ;-)

Were any of the enemy planes manned by humans? Or all AI??

Where do you get the WWII comms mod?
I havent played online much yet but plan to soon.

From ATAG's site, their site is linked in Freycinet's first post.

The Bf-109 you see a short glimpse of was a human opponent, the bombers were AI. See my latest five or six movies for many more human-piloted planes...
