Do any of you know the name of the song in this IL2 video? I've heard it before but I don't know the actual name of it.

I was asking the same thing in my mind and i want to know it too.

Well I don't know the precise name of the orchestral piece but the melody is based on and heavily taken from 'Drunken Sailor' an old sea shanty.

So the piece in the video is a bit different from "Drunken Sailor"?

Comparison. As you can see, the melody is similar but the performance is different.

Hmm, your right. Its annoying, because I played that piece in the IL2 video for orchestra awhile back. I like it because it sounds so epic

"Up She Rises" by John Facenda & Sam Spence. Americans may associate it with NFL.

Now, to throw it back, who can guess what piece it segues into at the 2:32 mark???

You...are...god. Seriously, thanks a lot for that. Now as for the 2:32 mark, I have no idea what that is, I'm assuming you know right?
