Ah yes, the human ballistics computer returns.

[@Kumyar]

My favorite part was when plane yelled "Maschinenkanone einhundert und acht" and proceeded to maschinenkanone einhundert und acht all over the place.

[@OptiPopulus]

Last clip, you can tell Smigol is the better of the two great pilots without watching the end of it because of at least two blunders the enemy pilot made. First one at 5:32 when he stalled unnecessarily when he should have inverted and dove after Smigol. That would have given the pilot more of a chance of getting sights on target at least. Great move on the pilots part at 5:48 where he had his wings level compared to Smigol's position allowing him to turn under as Smigol turned to try and get guns on. At 7:04 it looked like he lost track of or underestimated how much energy/turn over rate Smigol had, looks like the latter. Great show all around, the rolling scissors was amazing to watch with the air disturbances on the wing tips like in real life!

[@arandomredarmykomrade9529]

i love how many of these kills are just the other guy not knowing what managing your closure is lol

[@Parathong]

So fortunate that great last dogfight wasn't ruined by a 3rd party and shows the rare awesome moments WT can offer. And again your skill...🤯

[@smigoltime]

It's why I prefer ground RB, having no markers gives you a higher chance for an undisturbed dogfight

[@TheGrace020]

This is so real i prefer air fights in Ground RB cause no markers and generally less planes so less risk of 3rd party players are usually worse pilots or they are you 😭 @@smigoltime

[@Jaeger_89]

War Thunder may have a ton of defects. But there is no denying that dogfights in it are unparalleled...

[@jakobrinsdorf7791]

That last dogfight was amazing to watch, an actual competent pilot against you and by that a long fight where you had to use all your tools at your disposal... Great fight there!

[@michaelgarrett-herbert6410]

Wouldn't be a smigga vid without a duck appearance

[@Kammioo]

I love Smigol and I love guys who play as anti-CAS in ground battles. This video was made for me and you can't change my mind.

[@user-jb8hg5rj8q]

how can you even lose against bf109 in a Spitfire?

[@TheMoroPL]

Bf 109 can beat Spit in close scissors because of better roll rate, it's perfectly visible in this video, like 1:20

[@UberFleet-jx5rh]

A Spitfire is good in a dogfight, but a 109 is better in a energy fight. In a scissor fight, the 109 has the advantage due to its better energy retention and roll rate, whereas a spitfire will win a short turn fight. Conversely, a 109 will win a long energy fight.

[@33.666]

spit outrate and outradius all f, g, k 109s just rb random battle idiots

[@MDzmitry]

Case 1: The Spitfire pilot was bad enough to let himself get in front of a 109 from the straight six. This happened due to poor flaps and throttle control In case 2: The pilot had better control of the plane, but lacked a bit in predicting Smig's maneuvers. It can be seen at 1:14 (he rolled into intercepting an upcoming 109 too late) and 1:20 (he rolled too late to cut into 109's way, but just in time to bleed some energy that he would've used in a stall later on). And judging by 1:37, he didn't use his flaps or retracted them in the end for some reason. From my personal experience in Spits, using flaps from 1:20 onwards might've given him enough lift to clip the 109.

[@mappies123]

at stall speeds the 109 actually turns better than the spitfire

[@terrado6746]

The satisfaction of one shooting with the MK108 😮‍💨

[@aurelliadarkwater1136]

Beautiful work in the 109. Ive a few thousand hours in the game and yet still struggling with her, despite being one of my favorites.

[@smigoltime]

It is not a good plane any more sadly, most of its adversaries are far better at almost anything. The 109 isn't too fast, doesn't turn good, overheats... it does have great engine power and hanging ability tho

[@aurelliadarkwater1136]

@@smigoltime I use MEC for my 109 to keep the heat level non-existant. auto prop pitch for the rest of it. (only need like 30% radiator) However actually keeping up with my enemies is... Daunting. I feel like the plane should be performing better than it does ingame but that could just be german main bias. I am not an authority on such. I do however miss when the 13mm IAI belts were tracers. They even say HEIT in the card...

[@maximilianmustermann1278]

@@aurelliadarkwater1136controlling the heat with mec depends on the plane and map. A f4 will still overheat while the k4 is as cool as ice. The G6 can still be troublesome. Also the card says IAI (immediate action incindiary). HEI-T is only available for the 15mm as far as im aware (on low caliber german aircraft guns, the 30mm has it too i think and the 50mm too.

[@aurelliadarkwater1136]

@@maximilianmustermann1278 check the thumbnail, the top of the card also they used to be tracers but gaijin removed it

[@rainsilent]

@@maximilianmustermann1278 Controlling the heat with MEC on any 109 has nothing to do with plane and map. It has to do with the willingness to learn and utilize the unique manual prop pitch of German fighters. Learning how to use the prop pitch can all but eliminate the overheating but it requires micromanagement in a fight. Alternately rather than micromanage it in a fight just turn to auto prop pitch and watch your temps in the fight.

[@liamboyle9199]

Can we all agree air duels in ground RB are super rewarding, even if losing it is bloody annoying😅

[@ZeroKey92]

That move on the P-47D was a beauty **chefs kiss** Set up to perfection.

[@Local_NPC403]

Awesome dogfights as always! Keep up the good work smigol :)

[@Snail_Thunder_]

good. Now with the BF 110 (with 37mm gunpod)

[@Bruno-G]

Spitfires are tough girls but the pilot needs to fly her the right way. Too much dancing and she loses energy, too much speed and you break her wings. Fly the Spitfire properly and she will treat you properly.

[@ItzRainyBoy]

Nice shots Smiggod

I love playing ground RB to take on the anti-CAS role C early in the match. It’s honestly the funnest air RB combat that you get in warthunder. Small maps, no minimap or enemy tagging, small teams. No ridiculous furballs or toxic ass chats. Just awesome combat

[@MaxTheMiner1]

Smigol you should try the A26-10b with the 2x37mm load out with air belts, it’s a very fun and extremely satisfying experience if you do it right. My longest snipe was on a p-47 ~1.5km away (bullet travel distance) best thing is that on anything but a bomber 1 shell connecting = 1 kill.

​@@smigoltimethx

[@Jonathan-oe5vz]

Great video! Do you have any tips on how to properly dogfight in the 109? I have a couple of hundred hours in Germany altough have mostly relied on the Fw-190 and later the Ta-152 in air combat. The skill floor was seemingly too high for me when it came to the Messerschmitts altough I do want to learn to fly them.

[@smigoltime]

stay close to your opponent, dont give him too much room for turning and bring the fight to vertical. The 109 can roll nicely and hang with its engine power
