Check out the Merch Store: growling-sidewinder.creator-spring.com/ This video is filmed with Oculus Rift S and my computer specs are in the video description above, thank you guys for watching and I highly recommend you try out some VR dogfighting of your own during world war 1, it is an experience unlike any others.

I also love the WWI dogfight VR. Because of the materials of the biplanes, this makes the real targets the engine or the pilot, This makes the fighting up close and, yeah " it's the closest thing to an aerial knife fight..."

[@oskar6661]

Best content on here. The WW1 planes are just more captivating, followed closely by WW2, etc. The "Scouts" (generally the term for the two seaters with rear gunners) were hugely dangerous and often attacked from underneath when possible.

[@CakePrincessCelestia]

Scouts initially were light, fast and unarmed recon aircraft that at the beginning of the war have been armed with machine guns. The term stayed until the early 20s and basically describes a single seated fighter during WWI on hte British side. Then there was the Sopwith Scout, named Pup by the aircrew (just like the Fighting Falcon is called Viper), because it looked like a puppy of the 1 1/2 strutter, which often was called Scout, even though that was a 2 seater. The Bristol Scout also was a single seater. Sopwith 1 1/2 Strutter, Bristol Fighter and other two seaters actually were called "fighter" back then until that became the general term also for the scouts.

[@fazole]

This is the reason I might lay out the cash for a high-end rig. DCS in jets is just too much of a learning curve for me, but this? You can just jump in and go;.no complex systems to master. It's the right mix of realism and entertainment IF you have some flight sim experience, imo.

[@wth-pete3539]

I was thinking the same, but decided to jump into DCS (I fly just WW2) and was quite suprised it really is not that difficult. The cockpits are fully clickable so you just need to bind same stuff as for any other sim (throttle, pitch, roll, ruder, looking, map...) and then you can just press butons in the cockpit and don'T have to bind everything as in IL2 for example... IT can take lot of time to trully master, but if you decide to just kinda jump in head on you can be flying within hours... but I would do it only if you think you might like it and keep playing continuously. For some quick action here and there without thinking more arcade stuff is of course way to go. Just wanted to say, that it's not that scarry of a beast as it looked to me at first...

[@JonathonBarton]

1C sent me a couple 50% off coupons since I bought Stalingrad in '18. This series of videos got me to actually use them. (FCvi and Bodenplatte) Spent 3h last night in VR with a Valve Index doing 1v1 _Random WWII Allied plane_ vs _Random WWI German Plane_ It was a LOT harder than I thought it would be. Having to BnZ with a Spitfire was hilarity.

[@sierrahp]

Amazing video as always. Sturmovic is my favourite flight combat sim offering WWI content for my Cosmos. I just wish I was half the pilot you are. Reconnaissance flying, like all kinds, was a hazardous business. In April 1917, the worst month for the entire war for the RFC (Royal Flying Corps), the average life expectancy of a British pilot on the Western Front was 69 flying hours.

[@stitchjones7134]

Always room for new pilots in the 20minuters!! Woof woof!

[@mortenBP]

Those enemy fighters looked very much like Halberstadt CIIs + a Fokker DVII at 5:50.

[@imadrifter]

[@Lexingtonandconcord75]

My great grandfather flew the Nieuport 17 with the Lafayette Escadrille

[@RANDALLBRIGGS]

Ablatros D.III and/or D.V, Pfalz D.III, Fokker D.VII. Can't be that specific on the 2-seaters, but they look like Albatros models. The plane GS is in is a Nieuport 28, which had a habit of shedding the fabric of the upper wing when pulling out of a dive.

[@REM1956]

I believe that might be a Halberstadt CL.II two seater. That seemed to be the German workhorse of two seat aircraft.

[@williamkoppos7039]

You are right, this WW1 stuff is the best. And the N 28 is my fave WW1 fighter, one good looking bird. You got lucky a couple times going after those 2 seaters from 6:00. Mcudden got loads of them from 6:00 LOW, stay under the tail. Helps to have a Lewis gun on a rail that adjusts for angle.

[@bewell4467]

Once saw an interview with a WW1 pilot who was in his 80s at the time. Said he still had nightmares every night.

I`m guessing that the American plane was a Nieuport 28. I think I saw Albatros D.Va, Fokker D.VII, and Pfalz D.III. Just spitballing here, but I think the two seaters were Halberstadt CL IV.

[@Ambaryerno]

I agree, the experience of VR with the WWI aircraft is just amazing. My big beef with the WWI fights is the VERY low lethality of the guns. I can almost never get a kill without shooting the pilot. I think I've lit a guy's engine on fire maybe once or twice, and I've almost never taken off parts of the wings. So I don't know HOW you're taking them down so fast (unless they've changed the lethality in some update. I HAVE used my landing gear to bump guys out the air.

[@thierrykaslan2756]

Was hoping you would do another ww1 video

[@gearlooze]

Here's a genuine WW1 pilot trick to use when attacking tailgunner planes: Attack from above. Dive down under the bomber at a distance so that you can close the distance while you pull up and spray him from below, then continue the climb in front of him and to the side so as not to get in the way of his forward firing guns.

[@user-dn6zs6gh3f]

Love the replays!!!

[@ConradsStudio]

Any chance of doing a career in a WW1 plane also? It'd be interesting to see how long you last. Those furballs look insanely dangerous.

[@leprekhantar347]

Ya they look like death. Imagine getting target fixated (that alone is dangerous), but you succeed in shooting it down. Then you look around and realize the furball turned against you two minutes ago and it is too late to run.

You'll never see the Supermarine duadruplane. It was partially cabinized.

[@theariesexperiment4642]

Yeah when using this era of aircraft have extremely inaccurate guns. Plus they dont do near the damage that modern planes do due to the aircraft your shooting is basically just wood and heavy cloth instead of rigid materials. So the rounds simply travel through and through and only leave a tiny hole hardly affecting the planes stability. I read a book about The Red Baron years ago and he said,...."I wouldn't even try to fire until I could read his gauges." He also said he always aimed for the pilot due to the fact the motor and pilot are basically one big target. These make for the best dog fights though. That's a facts. Very pure.
