FW190 D-9 R4M rockets are anti-aircraft rockets, in this mission I also used them for ground targets.

Beautiful! Perhaps the most captivating IL-2 vid I have seen. With headphones it feels like that cold january morning...The intro gives a sense of something sinister and serious going to happen. The ending with landing and those little sounds from the cockpit was perfect. You could imagine wiping the sweat off your face and just realizing you survived...

15:44 I'm not paid enough for this mate

Finally a gameplay that lives up to the game's title!

That's some heavy ordanance in the Dora! You can hear from the sheer sound of those cannons/ guns.

[adamtaylor]

Really well done, I really liked the different camera angles.

[TheBattleMaster]

Lovely video. You're very good on the landings too. Three wheel touchdown.

I personally think this is one of the best FW190s because when you turn fight it’s hard to pass out so you can over turn the enemy and shoot them down.

Sadly I think its kinda a little under powered since you cant have the extra 20mms or the 30mms .

Nicely done, well edited, was like watching a war movie. One of the best of these video's I've seen. Good work on the level of destruction you reeked as well. I'm currently flying the A3, can't wait to get in one of those bad boys. :)

"Jagdgeschwader 3 (JG 3) and Kampfgeschwader 51 (KG 51) were tasked with eliminating the Allied units at the Eindhoven base and Gilze-Rijen airfield. The field contained three Spitfire Squadrons and eight Typhoon units of the RAF and RCAF. Some 22 Bf 109s of I./JG 3 took off, along with four from Stab./JG 3, 15 from III./JG 3 and 19 Fw 190s from IV./JG 3. KG 51 contributed some 21 of their 30 Messerschmitt Me 262 jets to the action. Each Staffel was expected to make at least three firing passes. I./JG 3 took off and joined the lead Gruppe, IV Sturm./JG 3, with III./JG 3 following in the rear. The Bf 109s and Fw 190s of the Geschwader reached the area at about 09:20. Geschwaderkommodore Heinrich Bär led the attack. Some pilots made four passes, destroying AAA emplacements, fuel storage stations and vehicles. Nearly 300 aircraft were on the field, along with huge stores of equipment and fuel. The attack caused fires all over the airfield. JG 3 claimed 53 single-engine and 11 twin-engine aircraft destroyed. Five fighters and one four-engine bomber were also claimed damaged. Four Typhoons, three Spitfires, one Tempest and another unidentified aircraft were claimed shot down. All in all, JG 3 destroyed 43 aircraft according to British records, and damaged a further 60, some seriously. The Geschwader believed it had destroyed 116. JG 3 did not come away unscathed. I./JG 3 lost nine of its aircraft and pilots, a 50% loss rate. Damage to the returning Gruppe aircraft meant the entire unit was unserviceable. RAF AAA were credited with shooting down five. JG 3 lost, altogether, 15 of the 60 fighters sent, a 25% loss rate. Some 15 pilots were missing; nine were killed and five captured, and another pilot was posting as missing in action and his fate remains unknown. Another source says 16 pilots; ten killed or missing and six captured. The damage done to Eindhoven was significant and can be considered a victory for JG 3. It was also assisted by elements of JG 6 which had misidentified Eindhoven as one their targets. The greatest losses were amongst the Recce Wing and the Canadian 124 Wing RCAF, which suffered 24 aircraft destroyed or damaged. The visiting 39 Wing RAF lost 30 aircraft destroyed or damaged. 143 Wing RCAF lost 29 damaged or destroyed. It is likely that I./JG 3 was responsible for about 2/3 of the damage. Another source gives 47 aircraft destroyed and 43 damaged." Source: Wikipedia

FW 190 was such an awesome aircraft and the later models with the inline engines were very fast and powerful a great air plane

[rando]

Great video! I wish these simulation games had bigger communities.

[FayazAhmad-ylsp]

Love the sound of piston engine, beautiful video.

[bobbyjenkins]

I don't comment on videos usually. However, this is incredible. Please post more Bodenplatte themed videos!

[bernardthefourth]

Flying the D9 online is amazing. Great plane, keep her fast!

[stix]

good vid. I would suggest adding more aa at the airfield though. there would be substantially more than shown. (cannon, mgs and flak guns too)

[wudimusic]

This is my most flown plane in VR
it´s claustrophobic, but i love it

[DreamInsanity]

Nice 👌
I also love how at 14:35 the guy walking is just over it with life. Not a care in the world 😆

[ProjectFlashlight]

It is ironic that during Operation Baseplate, the German flak proved vastly better at shooting their own planes down than they did Allied aircraft.

Many years ago I've often flew very similar missions in some "Luftwaffe pack" to old Sturmovik - Forgotten Battles. Now, visual and technical progress of this simulator is evident but for me lack of that engine roar in the cockpit and these small exhaust flames are completly nothing with reality in a daylight. Anti aircraft fire is a way too light what make this mission is not so hard to survive as it should be, so old mission in Forgotten Battles still has some advantage in adrenaline shot.
