Bulldog 71ss Looks like you’re a Cardinals fan!

As much as the fast jet vids are awesome, there’s something so visceral and satisfying about these historical guns-only dogfights 😁 great content dude!

"These Spitfires are becoming a problem" Pretty much every single Luftwaffe pilot and commander in WWII.

It would be EPIC if these WW2 planes all had their WEP(War Emergency Power) performance programmed into this game. The Germans had water/methanol injection to go with their superchargers. And some also had straight up nitrous oxide. The WEP for the P51’s bumped them up from like 1400/1500hp to like 2200hp! That’s a MONSTROUS gain in performance. In hairy situations this would be so fun in the game. Just like in real life you’d have to use it sparingly or you’d blow the engine. The P51’s were given like 5 minute increments to stay safe for example.

WEP is modelled, not sure what you're taking about. The 109 can go to 1.85 ATA with MW50 injection. The Spit can go to 18+ psi.

I love the WW2 type vids man

I am amazed on how you can spot those tiny things in almost camouflaged sea. Like I have to reallllly focus hard on the screen even when you zoomed in 🤣

Bunch of people that forgot to "beware the Hun in the sun."

I love the sound of that engine! Amazing hearing how it roars and when it goes quiet. It adds to the flying experience. Yes, those kills were real close.

Talking about WW2 warbirds: Some FW 190 videos would be highly appreciated :)

could watch this for hours. Would be cool to have a high-numbers session, right? Would make for some great watching. 109 = like :D

WW1 and WW2 was when REAL dogfighting took place. No radars, no missiles, no aim assist. Pilots just had to "feel" it out

@panagiotispotamitis9872

What do you mean "aim assist"?? Optics that calculated lead were widely used during WW2. Also, what do you mean by " real " Dogfight? If an F 16 and a Mig 29 engage in a dogfight I can tell you that the pilots play as big a role as the specs of the aircraft itself, radars, missiles and all. It's like saying that today's cooks don't "do the real thing" Because they use recipes and theory.

@@panagiotispotamitis9872 today technology is without a doubt best and 💯 is as hard as it can get, in dogfights. But fighting with ww2 planes, without great technology like we have today, no HUD in helmet, etc etc make ww2 dogfights more interesting and skill demanding. Handling those piston aircraft is different task itself, as the orientation of plane affects working 4 stroke engines, I don't know whether pilot felt such problems, but in sims ww2 dogfights are harder than modern jet dogfights. But for comfort reasona like when patrolling or doing tasks other than dogfights, modern aircraft are wayyy better than ww2 planes imo, due to modern avionics.

“This is why he didn’t bail out” is hilarious to me for some reason

I was already enjoying this, then the Battlefield music kicked in and it became perfect

Love the WWII stuff. Always fun to watch. Especially the energy fighter stuff. It's somehow more exciting to me with a longer, more tactical setup than the frantic turning and spotting you have to do with a rate fighter.

Most of my created missions recently have been over the Channel.. either morning, daytime, or nighttime.. i love it. I love how you really have to fly the aircraft - your thumb constantly on the trim to compensate for torque etc.. great stick and rudder stuff..

The spitfire what a plane ✈🇬🇧

I’m so glad you’re doing ww2 again. Love the bf109

Fun video to watch! You're really good at energy management and knowing your DACM parameters.

Much like those Spitfire pilots, I feel I've died and gone to heaven - thanks to these WW II vids. Much improved effects over past couple years. Thanks GS!

Love the videos. My Grandson and I watch them. I have not be receiving notifications lately. A little frustrating. But I’m still here.

Well the British RAF is really happy with Growling Sidewinder... for being born well after WW2 has ended. Just think of how the war would have gone if he was a fighter pilot for the German Luftwaffe.

@3:39 “This is why he didn’t bail out” Had me laughing😂Poor digital pilot

Love the content man! Keep it coming! Always look forward to seeing a new one!

As far as excuses for not bailing out go, a 20mm cannon round to the cranium is a solid one

You fly the 109K4 really well. I think I would struggle to keep track of my opponent while we were maneuvering with all the structural metal at the front of it. You seem to know what the opponent is going to do even when you lose sight of them temporarily.

Saying a mw50 k4 and dcs mustang is a dog fight is a stretch, more like a slaughter

Any plans on taking the FW-190 for a spin? I've always found that plane a bit harder to get the hang of than the Bf-109. It would be interesting to see what it can do in the hands of a more capable pilot.

3:32 - "This is why he didn't bail out." LOL!! Yep - A 30mm round sent vertically down into the cockpit area would definitely preclude any bail out maneuver. ; p

To know that these moves were made in real life is incredible. Watch some old footage of WWII fighters and it's amazing what they were able to do with the the engineering of that time. The WWII pilots were the OG

Painting the cowling yellow illustrates how much chunkier the nose is compared to Bf-109Fs-13mms, streamlined post-bulges cowling etc

That was awesome to watch. Thanks for the warbird content.

Loving the WWII patrols! Great stuff!

"K4 is an absolute animal" ... and you, our friend, you are the Boba riding the Rancor !! 😉

These are a joy to watch, still getting used to a 109 K as a 'Yellow Nosed Bastard' though.

Me personally I've always been a fan of the OG E-4 and the G-6 with the gun pods, I just love the lines of both and the extra dakka.

Digging the WW2! Just bought the 109 this week. Lots of fun.

Thinking I might download this!!!! Looks like hella fun!!!!

All your videos are great but really enjoy these WWII ones.

More WWII, I agree! Would love to see you in a P51 going against the 109/K4

Many thanks. You are amazing. I do not even know to fly. I like also your unagitated style of commenting.

Awesome stuff man. Love the ww2 combat. Would be awesome to see you and Longshot attack an enemy harbor or fleet!

I love this content, its definitely my favorite. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the jets too, but this so much easier to understand.

Keep the World War 2 stuff coming!

I really love this one. Love the WWII B1RDs.

i love how in videos it only takes a few shots to down an enemy but when im flying it takes all my damn ammo just to make something smoke

I’d love to see a video where you are the one getting bounced and having to defend against whatever it is.

Love that old school action.

OMG .What a huge amount of damage a 30 mm cannon can deliver...!

"Smile for the camera, look right here, and wait for the flash ..." 😆 Also, I get why people take exception to you saying "eject" for WW2 fighters, but I'm not sure "bail oat" is a significant improvement 😉😁 (sorry, I'm listening with an outrageous Australian accent, and that's how it sounds to me).

love the battlefield soundtrack!

Any chance we gonna get some more WW1 stuff? I've been fixin' for them for awhile now.

These k4 vids give me life

Hey man I just got the F-18C and was curious if you have any tips to learning the aircraft a bit quicker, hope this won’t get buried

I wonder how the MG 151 cannon, in either the 15mm or 20mm form, would fare as the hub cannon as compared to the 30mm cannon you have. It would seem that the higher muzzle velocity and rate of fire of the MG 151 would be ideal for combat against other fighters. The 30mm MG 103 seems that it would be better against bombers or other large lumbering aircraft.

I though you were going to eat Spitfire on the last kill!

He failed to jump out? Well, it's very hard to jump out when you get 5 pounds of lead in your back from that vicinity, I guess ... 😅🤣 you really are a master in these duels, I really envy you, but what: positively I envy, I'm not jealous! Congratulations

wait they have a ww2 in this and it has the geographical maps? This DCS is insanely good!

Do you make muted color patches? I’d like to put your logo on my plate carrier, it’s sick.

I detest the political correctness of the times now…the swastika, like the Confederate flag, are part of history and should not be trivialized, just because of the past. It’s time folks grow up, and realize that symbols can’t hurt you now. It may be a small thing to mention, but, in the interest of history, they should be included, IMHO.
