Velxra Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 (edited) Given how popular crash and fail videos are for iL-2 I believe there should be a place to share such great content in the forums as well. Feel free to post your favorite iL-2 fail/crash videos and/or personal fail moments in this thread. Or just share any video or story here about funny moments, failures, and crashing as well. Go ham all!! It was a tough pick from several of my favorite iL-2 content creators for the best crash video. But Checksix still holds the top pedestal for best crash video in my mind.

Such emotion, such realism, and such authenticity in this piece. ^ Here is another video from him as well. Edited June 23, 2019 by Geronimo553 1 1
Feathered_IV Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 My favourite is the one I like to think of as, "The crash that never came". Hunting for targets in my trusty Pe-2, I came across a convoy of enemy trucks. What luck! Plunging earthward towards the line of German vehicles, we released our bombs and rocketed skywards again, before stall-turning and coming back down to strafe the survivors. Too late, we saw the trees ahead and pulled back frantically on the stick in a desperate bid to escape... Not a chance! A tearing, tumbling kaleidoscope of images as we ripped through the branches of one tree, only to tumble onwards to the next and then the next. Like crowd-surfers at an insane festival of trees. I gritted my teeth and awaited the final explosion that would end us all. It never came. Silence... We were down. Or were we??? The ground seemed oddly distant. The aircraft was swaying. I looked at Boris. He looked at me "Are you okay?" It took us a while to figure out what had happened. Eventually we decided to wait until somebody brought a ladder... 1 2 1
AndyJWest Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 There was a spectacular one that happened a year or so back that I've got a video of, though I've never uploaded it. I'll see if I can do that today. It involved Trees. Lots of them. And of course there was the Camel from RoF that didn't crash, despite being literally bent out of shape by flak. I seem to recall it took a lot of up-elevator to fly straight. 1
Velxra Posted June 23, 2019 Author Posted June 23, 2019 (edited) One of my more "unique" landings after flak. It flew great! (pesky large A20 flaps falling off) Edited June 23, 2019 by Geronimo553

Raptorattacker Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 (edited) There I was, bumbling along, happily doing my morning chores when......... All I sustained was a completely knackered elevator. Managed to land okay though... JUST!! Edited June 24, 2019 by Raptorattacker 2 2
JUSTPLANECRAZY Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 Great stuff Rap even an old pro like you gets it wrong sometimes eh mate. Now thats what i meant about the I-16 being very forgiving (just like the mrs), theres not many if any other planes would let you get away with a schoolboy error like that Rap. 1
