Perhaps you could comment, would a Mosquito not just outrun fighters? I always believed you would just crank up the speed and go low to leave fighters struggling to keep up.

Ive been watching GR for years. This was the best, most high suspense mission ive ever seen you guys do. Super well done!!

My best friend married a guy from Alta, Norway. Well...his family have a cabin at Kåfjord.... built on a concrete foundation for the defences covering the Tirpitz ( believe it was either an ammunition store or a gun emplacement)

"Juuust don't look..." had me giggling. Cool mission, as always.

Funny, as soon as the Kola map is out, this mission can be played at the real locations

They remain awesome planes to see overflying your location (of the two still able to fly, the British one does a flightover of a monument in my town every year, the monument is for another Lancaster shot down there)

Love the way that Chef(?) kept saying “I think if you just keep UNDER the clouds [next time]…” when everyone he’d led into the clouds this time had hit a mountain 😆

This one was a freaking nail biter!! Great flying by all hands, the visuals (or lack thereof) for the pilots on this one were absolutely insane, and I wholeheartedly agree with Super Cap, this map should be utilized more often; WOW!! In typical GR fashion, the mighty Matrix made this mission incredibly difficult even compared to the real-world mission it was inspired by!! I'm not gonna lie, i'm already anticipating the redo of this, round one was fantastic, and the Blues all but sealed the deal in spite of the odds and the wild terrain and weather!! Damn fine flying Grim Reapers!!!

By far the most interesting video I’ve ever seen on GR. Cap’s genuine fear brought across the true horror and challenges of these missions, bravo!

Absolutely shat myself when you went into the mountain.

DCS is a horror movie... Good jump scare, just a week late from Halloween!

Fun fact, majority of conventional bombs used against the Tirpitz were only able to damage the superstructure and lightly armored equipment such as anti-aircraft guns on the Tirpitz, which is one of the reasons the tallboy bombs were designed.

'oh my god a fucking mountain!' lol

Did anyone else cry out "Oh, bollocks" when Matrix planted it?

Cap, you should support The People's Mosquito charity - they are building the first new Mosquito airframe in the UK since the war. Colin Bell, one of the veterans associated with the project is 101 and was involved in the test dropping of Highball. One that he dropped was recovered and is at the Brooklands museum.

That was fun to watch. Live in Tromsø and I think the terrain wasn't too far off

Felt like 633 Squadron, but in low visibility!

Came here expecting to see Tirpitz unalived by buffs, but heck, gr never ceases to surprise, and it's all contemporary stuff...

Brilliant mission guys. The WW2 stuff always seems more exciting to watch, but the terrain and IMC made it super cool.

"St Nazaire was subject to a raid by commandos . . ." You could say that, yes. It was only the most daring raid of the entire war!

I could feel your struggle right through the screen on this one Cap,

Hi Cap and GR at all. In the synopsis, you are missing some Fleet Air Arm attacks on the ship. Not great damage was achieve in that attack for the Navy. Excelent mission

This one was like watching Air Crash Investigations

I knew you were going to fly into a mountain, but it still shocked me.

OMG I actually jumped out of my seat when Cap crashed into the mountain!! 😮😮😮. Awesome mission Matrix!

Hey cap! A interesting video idea would be to take a typically land based ground to air missle and strapping it to like a b-52 and seeing what insane ranges. Puld be therorehtically pulled off, such as strapping a patriot to said b-52 or strapping sa-10s to a tu-160 for the hell of it! Thanks for your time and efforts!

Matrix always brings the gravitas to a briefing.

If Chile is playing Norway, a hypothetical Cold War engagement in that region would be interesting. I feel like that era (and especially the Lead Sled) doesn't get enough love in these scenarios.

Cap - that's how my Grandad actually died... Canadian Airforce in a Liberator bomber in Burma. Low cloud - hit a mountainside.

Thank you all. Capt you are a great pilot stop putting yourself down Bro.!

Cap, I know you had a disagreement with a mountain😂 but you would have been even more dissapointed if you got to target just to realize you turned on the wing and belly stations but never fuzed your bombs😅

"I can't do it, I'm full MIL SIM", MOUNTAIN!

Really jolly unsporting to hide mountains in those clouds.

Yeah, I enjoyed the approximation of Operation Chastise, but DCS doesn't have the Upkeep mine, and didn't have Lancs. But the mission looked really hard using Mozzies. And they're quite a bit smaller than Lancs. Then again, 617 squadron had about eight weeks of intensive training just for that one raid, and there's no way the good people at GR could simulate that.

By the looks of it , you lot never been to Norway before :) . Took the raf 4 years to sink that ship. This could be a series

Own up, who had the theme from '633 Squadron' going through their head during Hasina's doomed final run in?

That kind of mission would put gray hair on anyone's head.

Watch out for the moun.....oh never mind, Cap!

Does DCS have a mil-sim map mode? It would add yet another level of realism and tension if you had to navigate manually without a magic all seeing map to tell you where you and everyone else is.

Capt, can you also do the RN Corsairs raid on this. it would seem us limeys tamed the Vought F4U Corsair for navy service first. We learnt to trim the wing and keep the carrier in sight on the side whilst landing. The USA first rejected this beast as a navy fighter but the Brits learnt them how to handle this beast on the sea .Thanks for the USA giving us this machine.

Way to lose the war guys!! Now I have to learn German!!

My girlfriend asked me what’s the point in buying a vr when I have an Xbox. I should show her this video

Is it me being wrong or are the vids (not saying the quality is less) having less human 'pilots' lately. Love the musquito btw is it a light bomber (obviously you are using it as one here) or a WW2 Attack plane. Meaning if you would give it its designation what would it be.

So, a re-run?

Says Deadman can't speak while he flew in a mountain 5 min before hh

I'm 24 minutes in, what's going on with Cap's elevator trim? Does it not have enough authority with that loadout? I can feel the pitch down force from my chair and it's pretty agonizing even if I'm not the one holding the stick for 450 miles. Curious that Matrix went nose down also.
