Blew a Tire While Taxiing

[JG27*AD]

Nice, peaceful taxi back to the bomber parking area when my He111 left tire failed.   Who supplies this junk? 

 

I would post a screenshot, but the file that is in the game screenshot folder is just a little too big.  I could use some instruction on posting them....

Thanks,

I always post them to Photobucket and then link from there. It's a free service.

Or just open them in Photoshop or similar program and save them as a lower-quality jpg.

PNG format tends to be more efficent.

For a normal pic to show things Jpeg @ 100% Quality is more than fine.
PNG is too big (still 4.5MB's for a 1080P pic where jpeg is about 500kb)

best free img hosting for RU regulated forums is IMGUR as its a russian site and never blocked.

(yes its a dot com address so american hosted by russian run apparently)

Looks like I need to call for taxiway side assistance for a failed tire....

I think your plane is missing more than just a tire....

That's not a blown tire...your whole wheel came off.

Better have long talk with your ground crew & remind them the infantry currently needs all the replacements if can get.....I'm just sayin'....

I was quite surprised when it happened.  LOL   I had landed without bouncing and it was a long taxi to the end of the runway, along the parking for the Stuka's and fighters.  Then just as I began to turn to the "hardstand" the plane lurched and dipped down.  I first thought I had accidentally hit the "G" key and raised the landing gear.   Darndest thing I've seen on the sim.   LOL

 

Agree, my statement of a blown tire is not quite correct.  The whole darn wheel failed.

Tires/wheels supplied by the lowest bidder eh?

Maybe it took battle damage before in the flight?

That's my guess, it lost the entire wheel/tire assembly.

 

Were you hit by flak, or attacked by a fighter?

[Feathered_IV]

Maybe a few spirited ground loops before or after takeoff?

One of the things I love about the damage model in IL-2: BoS/BoM is there is sometimes a delayed action. I'm guessing it was light battle damage but I've done it just by landing a little too hard (and bouncing too much) and everything seems fine until I roll out at the end and start to make a turn. And then it collapses. I have to laugh and then marvel a little bit about what kind of modeling went into making those small moments happen.

I'm going to go with the lowest bidder like Conky suggested...   This was just a single mission without enemy so I could practice high altitude bombing.   The taxi-takeoff-landing were not violent.  I just think it may be a "Easter Egg".

 

Anyhow, it was a facepalm moment.
