The official name for the acm tactic used is “picking”. Fly high, search for an unsuspecting victim and “pick” him lick a ripe fruit. The tactic was masterfully used. Checking 6 with paranoid passion is mandatory in a wwii air combat sim

Mandatory even in a modern setting. You never know if you are about to eat an Igla or an R-27ET or R-73 from a MiG-29 or Su-27 sneaking with EO and not on RWR and AWACs doesn't see them so not on data link.

What’s the difference between that and boom ‘n zoom?

[@patjenkins783]

Not a lot In my mind BnZ is a tactic you transition to if you don’t kill the target on your first pass. That’s assuming you still have the energy The target is probably now aware of you and is now defensive Assuming you are in an energy fighter BnZ is the usual tactic. If you’re in more of a turn fighter you may elect to Turn and Burn. But Picking is the term most used when you kill an unsuspecting target. Like diving through a furball and shooting some poor sob who is fixated on someone else. Sorry I get long winded

[@tom_disagrees451]

Advice from Mustang Ace Leonard K Carson ..... screw the long range deflection shots, flight up behind him and ram all six fifties up his ass, pull the trigger and watch him fly apart. I think he liked 50-100 yards astern and matched speed. Turns out a lot of Germans back in 1944 and 45 weren't checking their six either...

[@tnwhiskey68]

Man, 30 rounds of .50 should destroy a 109! Especially concentrated fire in one wing!

[@randomrandomnesss2188]

They definitely need to improve the performance of .50s. While on their own they aren’t anywhere near as good as cannons, 6 of these things are absolutely lethal to anything that flies.

[@jbepsilon]

Oh, I don't know. Doesn't appear too farfetched. Statistically, it took an average of around 25 .50 hits to bring down a single-engined WWII fighter. Even with 6 guns at 800 rpm, that's still a solid 0.3s burst assuming all of them hit.

[@allenwarburton8627]

After watching several of your videos, I often catch myself checking my 6 while playing Ace Combat, mostly just to confirm the distance between me and a missile or aircraft, rather than looking at my radar screen. I mean it’s kinda pointless in the long run, but it feels cool.

Great work as usual GS. Personally I love the loud paint schemes, youre in a fighter, you want people to see you ;)

[@tornadoman1054]

Seems like lots of 'German' guys on the server used to play IL-2, which is predominantly based on the Eastern front, that's why they don't expect that someone can fly higher than themselves. Soviet crafts (Yak-1, Lagg-3, La-5, as well as American P-39) were made for low and medium altitude fights. There was only one high-altitude Soviet craft in WWII which is Mig-3.

Nice video, love to see you ride my favorite plane to destroy the luffwaffe. One question, on the P51D, what is the gun's convergence? For me it's 200 meters on IL2, but I'm interesting to know what convergence you are utilized on DCS for the 50 cal.

[@patjenkins783]

I was wondering the same thing

[@calinho_1515]

All DCS planes have fixed convergence, IRL pilots don't choose gun convergence. DCS default convergence for P-51 is 1100 feet (330m)

[@DeanMurphyCDM]

@@calinho_1515 the spitfire convergence can be changed in flight. I know because I ran the guns training mission last night and that was one of the first lessons.

[@DeanMurphyCDM]

@@calinho_1515 oh and IRL, pilots did chose their preferred convergence. Again, I know this is true for Spitfires and Hurricanes and can only assume it would be the same for Axis and other Allied planes.

Hey man, don't complain too much about the .50s, at least you've got the right rounds for them 😅 that being said, something I've noticed from a lot of new converts to ww2 birds is that if you're used to having a DL or Radar callout people don't tend to check 6 that often.

[@deanehuff1589]

I am

[@endlesswick]

The 109 is a minimalist fighter. It seems like the cockpit was an after thought, very cramp. 109 pilots must of been very uncomfortable flying that thing. It has poor visibility, especially looking back, hard to check 6. No rudder or aileron trim, only elevator trim, you have to constantly pull the stick left to counter the torque. The aircraft is stressful to fly needing constant attention. But it is very responsive and can out climb any other WW2 fighter in DCS which is a good advantage. My fighter of choice. Fly it with discipline and you will be successful, just watch out for Growling Sidewinder on your 6.
