il2crashesnfails Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 can the pro's here tell me what i'm doing wrong when I find myself on one engine in the he-111. This happen alot for me, I always get hit with AAA fire and one engine is knocked out.
wombatBritishBulldogs Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 (edited) Don't know much about the 111 if anything but I would say Feather Prop NO flaps max power and hope you have a lot of altitude to start with ! Anyone ! Nice footage btw Edited December 22, 2018 by wombatBritishBulldogs 1

6./ZG26_5tuka Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 (edited) You dont use rudder trim to younter the left engine pull, that's why your aircraft enters a sideslip creating massive drag. Incase of engine failure you have to do the following: 1. Adjust rudder trim to counter the working engine's pull (watch you bank indicator) 2. Increase engine power to combat. 3. Drop all leftover ordinances. 4. Feather the dead engine's propellor. 5. Close the dead engine's cooling flaps (water, oil, cowling) 6. Fly level and climb only at shallow angles. 7. When required to turn keep the working engine on the inside of the turn and bank at a shallow angle. All german bombers are capeable of single engined flight. In combat heavy damage migh put restrictions on single engined flight. Edited December 22, 2018 by 6./ZG26_5tuka 1
wombatBritishBulldogs Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 Without searching forums I would say no given its size and resistance 1
6./ZG26_5tuka Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 Not true. German bombers were designed to handle single engined flight for extended periods if not overloaded or too damaged.

JimTM Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 Take a look at Requiem's videos on multi-engine principles: Principles #13 - Multi-Engine Basics Principles #14 - Multi-Engine Advanced 2
Guest deleted@103832 Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 Requiem's videos are very helpful. Here's another He 111-specific trick on page 68: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JwWH98LX5W0HWFH2IyoSR0OBq0LhVWP6/view?usp=sharing
