One of the best movies made with IL-2 Sturmovik combat simulator i ever saw.
It shows a simulation of a real mission that ocurred in 1941 when a group of russian Petlyakov Pe-8 bombers were assigned to attack the German capital, Berlin.
Video made by ShadowSix.
Fantastic movie

Nice job! What was missing: on their way back to Russia, Russian air defense shot down some of the planes bc. they thought they were germans...

Pe-8 was built 96 pieces. No longer built because of imperfect dvigateley.No defense aircraft was better than the B-17.

They just couldn't handle those 20mm baby bottle size cartridges fired from the nose cannons of the Me-109s. Pe-8s were big, cumbersome, and poorly armed. Unlike with B-17s and Lancasters, the Germans could leisurely pick their angle of attack without fear of a deadly crossfire from waist and belly guns. It did have one periscopically controlled belly gun, but it was useless. The Pe-8 was also uncharacteristically flimsy for a Russian aircraft, which is why only 100 or so were built.

The crew of the bomber made an emergency landing without loss returned to his troops.

I got to admit, the black and white gun camera was awesome.
