Took a long break from il-2 and very pleased with the new additions to the game. This one will be a lot of fun

[codyking]

Been out of IL2 for quite some time. Your tutorials have been absolutely priceless in getting me back in the air. Thank you so much!

[smigoltime]

I'm sure its gonna be great for ramming the enemies out of the sky :D

[martinandroid]

Just bought this beauty in the sales. Thanks for the tutorial, I'm going to need it. ;)

[jecko]

Happy to see you back, you always have the best videos Req, i had a question on the autopilot, when you set it, you can set roll, pitch and yaw, i know how to pitch it with right alt and up or down on the arrow keys and how to roll it with right alt and the left and right arrow keys but where is the yaw at? thank you for your time man, your videos are much appreciated.

[nickkyboy]

[TheRaptorXX]

[Jhn-MiCHaeL]

YEEESSS thanks for making the tutorial!!

[Ruweisat]

We’ve been waiting for this. Thanks!
Wish it had a reticle for the 20mm cannons

[tosehoed]

4:50 is bomb arming/fuse panel though, not ignition. Its on Fw190 too

[RemusKingOfRome]

In IL2 1946, this aircarft uses the peridcope for the rear facing cannons. Was that a different version of the blitz ?

[MrJoggl]

Hey, your tutorials are just great! I recently discovered the Recon Photo feature, but it seems a litle buggy (Win+1 tp activate) Any experience with this from your side? Thanks and have a nice one

[sakaisaburo]

thanks... have you planned to make a video about the mosquito?

[-MAILMAN]

Do you plan on making a video of the Mosquito?

[l.a.xgunner]

I recently bought the Arado 234 and I've still been having trouble starting up the plane, I've followed what you've said but the engines just shut off, do you know what might be the cause?

[moltke]

Requiem, one question….. what is the brown stick left beside the throttles?

[TheUnhappyTroll]

what is those short jumps of image up and down even in the air?

[Uajd-hbqs]

Can this aircraft takeoff without the rocket assist pods or are they always on when loaded? Only the AR-234 in IL2: 1946 couldn’t seem to takeoff from any runway, they were all too short and that was without bombs and reduced fuel load.
