New Il-2 Sturmovik video:
Slowly developing my (very rudimentary) ground attack skills.
Low level attack in an Ilyushin Il-2 'Sturmovik' 1941 (1 series) armed with RS-82 rockets on German armour approaching Moscow.
Got a bit close to the ground, but happy overall. Definitely need more strike practice, though!

New Il-2 Sturmovik video:
This was intended to be a follow-up to the I-16 vs C.200 dogfight to show how Soviet aircraft improved and turned the tide during WW2. What it turned into was one of the craziest, closest dogfights I've ever played!
The amount of drama and near misses... Yikes!
Longer video, but definitely worth the watch!

New Il-2 Sturmovik video:
In the early stages of the war on the Eastern Front (1941), Fascist Italy's Macchi C.200 fighters clashed with the USSR's Polikarpov I-16s.
Here I fly an I-16 Type 29 against a C.200 over Bessarabia in 1941.
The result is not dissimilar to what actually happened... Things would change as the war progressed, however. I might make another video illustrating that.

German soldiers operate a captured Soviet T-34 tank during the early stages of Operation Barbarossa - 1941. The tank is being made ready to ship back to Germany for testing.The wording on the front seems to indicate “Do Not remove parts”, probably because it was needed it intact in order to test #worldwartwo #worldwar2 #ww2 #worldatwar #secondworldwar #conflict #history #worldwartwopictures #war #worldwar2pictures #historyofwar #historyofwarfare #easternfront #t34 #tank #sovietunion #barbarossa
