Ricky I was shooting an A6M2-n and it blew up in my face stealing my rudder

Quote from the IL-2 Pacific Fighters Readme:

Using the Mistel

(...)

First of all, our AI routine would need a complete overwrite to allow for complete realistic Mistel operations. Unfortunately we could not afford to spend another year building and testing the Mistel, so our AI Mistels cannot take-off, land or attack targets. The most an AI Mistel can do is follow a set of waypoints in the air, basically serving as a large target for other flights.

Another important limitation is that Mistels cannot be flown in online dogfight games

This has been true for nearly 10 years now, but we're called "modders" for a reason.

The future is upon us! 

Modders are the backbone of Il-2 now.

Keep up the great work guys! 


Sincerely,

A little more Mistel screenshots, the impact is impressive but let me tease you a bit first

Is that the power of the Mistel or we have nukes in Il-2?... True is that I never have used the mistel in Il-2... impressive.

anyway great screenshots!

A couple more screenshots from BK's Mistel attack.

Enroute to combat zone:


Aiming in a shallow dive:


Release!


Free as a bird. Note how the "Patin" autopilot of the Ju-88 Mistel immediately starts to align the flight path properly (see ailerons):


Release moment from behind.
The Mistel aiming is a quite easy procedure, you just point the Mistel at your target and release it.
The Mistel's "Patin" autopilot will engage and follow the direction you've pointed it at, trying to compensate wind, speed drift, turbulences etc:


Yeah I'm free, free falling... (Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers)


Seconds to impact:


Impact!


The blast wave starts...


...and extends...


Unarmoured vehicels getting caught by the blast will suffer lethal damage (see exploding cars on the road "behind" the detonation) while armoured ones survive the blast (see tank columns on the road below/left of the detonation):


Maximum blast wave propagation:


The mushroom comes up:


Devastation on the ground, these were two unarmoured car columns:


The smokepile finally reaches more than 1km height:

I was in the river, shown in the Mistel pics, in my raft, watching the action when BK's blast went off.  It was something to see.
