v1 bomb flipped by mustang

Shooting down a doodlebug cost many pilots their lives... The safest way to deal with the flying bombs was to get close and flip them.

Nice moves! What game is this? I need it!

its called IL2 from ubisoft and 1C Maddox.. but keep in mind that 1C Maddox are bringing out a new combat flight sim called "Storm of War" hopefully in Oct 2010.. This will be the benchmark for all sims

hey. how do u get v1 ground to launch and v1 air to move in full mission builder????? send a message how plz!

[itspaulking]

Not sure how to make these things work... i just used a mission which came free with the game.. Sorry

They didn`t actually touch, just flew with the wing close enough to spoil the airflow over the V1`s wing witch would lose lift and flip over by itself The Tempest Mk V was the best at destroying V1`s followed by the Mosquito then Spitfire Mk XIV, many were shot down using Canon at long range

he tiped the rocket to much just be lucky it didnt explode and they dont down like that they start to flip littleby little and start falling

@jethou1 My understanding is that flipping a V1 was preferred to shooting at it unless you could maintain a relatively "safe" distance for either .50 cal MG or 20/40mm cannon. The V1 carried a 1-ton warhead like the V2, but what the blast radius would be I don't know for sure. Most pilots- from accounts I've read- said most often they would put a wingtip under the V1's wingtip then execute a slow or snap roll to spill it. Shooting at it you couldn't be sure when you'd detonate it either. Thanx.

dam, thats bloody good flying there, you got hyperlobby, me and my mate have been trying to bind the TB3 spd with a I16 spd in mid air but tbh i lack the skill, if you have hyperloby want to try with us?

@coombs002 not just meteors, they would just dive to got uop to speen they only went at about 40mph, most fighters could reach that

[KinSmallProductions]

@SuperDrKas actully pilots would do that to prevent themselves going in to a death spin after flying through the derby of an exploding v1

@Malibucompany Non-lethal my ass.....Look at the death toll caused by them.Pilots got blownup in midair by those things plenty of times.

[TheSV3]

@RyogaXvX I agree, considering that the V-1 carried the same warhead (1 ton) as a V-2 did. What the blast radius would be, I don't know.

@BertusopdeNorton

According to About com's Military History, the V-1's max speed was 393 mph.

The upload is considerate of the soundtrack- completely questionable.

A Mustang was propeller driven. The (un-manned) V1 was a rocket with wings. You're SO American in your thinking... Get a Budweiser, turn on Hogans Heroes re-runs and go back to fantasyland.
