First Look at Beware Beware! || New Spitfire Mk.IX Campaign for DCS: World

[@ReflectedSimulations]

Hey Wolfpack, thanks so much for this wonderful preview, I really love the way you edit your videos to make them enjoyable to watch, with external shots, music and all that. I'm also looking forward to the release of the campaign: All 16+ missions are detailed recreations of original squadron records and combat reports, so the player can experience the exact same events as these young men in '43 - from the safety of their chairs, that is. It's probably the most realistic RAF experience ever released in a simulator.

[@leeonardodienfield402]

I need it

[@jonridley]

I’m fortunate to live on the South Coast on the Channel and we still get Spitfires flying over on a fairly regular basis (for various reasons, air shows, flybys of Seven Sisters (iconic white cliffs in Sussex), films and tv programs etc) we also get other planes such as mosquitos and p51s/p47s occasionally and the odd modern aircraft such as chinooks or (once or twice!) Apaches. It helps inspire my next dcs flight seeing the real thing 😊

[@HarrisonCooper21]

Fun fact, there’s a pub that is next to Biggin Hill airfield that was shot at by a rear gunner of a Dornier when it flew low over the airfield That is where you could find the pilots and crew. It destroyed 2 cars

[@JessWLStuart]

Spitfires are such gorgeous aircraft!

[@andytothesky]

I’m sure you read it, but Chuck’s Spitfire guide has a fantastic table that you can use to estimate fuel burn for given engine power settings. I use it to plan cross channel sorties on the 4YA WWII server

[@PappyGunn]

To add to this. I have a few engine settings by default. Cruise is 2450 rpm and about 4 boost. This is what the formation AI uses. Max continuous is just that, 2650 and 7 boost, good for cruising in a hot area. The Spit has a special climb mode, 2800 rpm and 12 boost, 180 mph. It can do this for an hour. I actually use this setting in combat, so I don't blow the engine.

[@HispAnakin42]

[@MrKamusta]

I live in Kent and we still have Spitfires flying over our house from Biggin Hill!

[@RedHawk785]

This is right out of "The Big Show" written by WW2 Spitfire and Tempest Ace pilot Pierre Clostermann, DFC. I read his book 55 years ago and it stuck with me to such an extent that back in '01 I had dual instruction in a TF-51D which is as close as I could come to flying a Spitfire. At least they share the same Merlin engine produced by different manufacturers.

[@DanBlake3rd]

You are in luck. The campaign designer has already released one based on The Big Show, also my favorite WW2 flying book.

[@bluescanfly1981]

Awesome! I've been missing your careers looking forward to this one.

That is so cool! My partner just finished a short story about Biggin Hill. So it was quite exciting to see it represented in the game.

[@Wolfpack345]

Oh really? That is awesome!

[@wruenvadam]

I have been getting my feet wet in IL-2 lately and plan to start seeing how I like DCS once I get a HOTAS and a major graphics card upgrade, though I won't be starting with the WW2 stuff in DCS I am curious what you think of the Spitfire Mk9 in that as opposed to IL-2. I absolutely love the way it feels to fly in IL-2, almost as if it has your back, doing anything and everything you need it to do. Just wanted your take since you have experience in both games.

[@PappyGunn]

I flew this a couple of times, and I am flying it again! Great campaign, and it will make you work for it. I am now flying it in VR in Dec 2023; being able to use Mutithreading and NVIDIA DLSS makes a heck of a difference. Very immersive and there are sights that will take your breath away. Imagine overtaking 3 boxes of B-17s , watching them drop bombs and then have the Wing of Spitfires diving to intercept German fighters. I really recommend this one, it's not easy but it si very rewarding. And well made.

[@bigrivercod]

Thanks for creating and sharing this content, it was enjoyable to watch. Thanks to Reflected for creating the upcoming campaign. Now I just need extra spare time for more flight simming.

Nice. But i suppose DCS does not have FW-190A-5/A-6 for the timeframe of this particular campaign.

[@andytothesky]

The Spitfire LF.IX is also slightly anachronistic. Realistically we’d be flying F.IXs with M61 and 63s, not LF.IXs with the M66. Overall, the performance between the Fw 190A-8 and LF.IX aren’t massively different from the A-5/6s and F.IXs they would otherwise be facing.

[@clibanarius3122]

[@shatteredreality46]

question, what would you say is your favourite plane so far that you've flown in from any of the flight sim games you play and which do you think is better DCS: World or IL2

[@tomjewell4098]

Just to jump in on the DCS/il2 question. It's very subjective but if I had to choose one it would be il2 for the breadth of content you get for your buck. They both look beautiful in different ways. Both are super immersive. And both do some things better than the other. Whichever you go for, wait for a sale, they're fairly regular. And perhaps over time you can just get both?

[@jonathanstein1783]

Next time, secure your guns before landing, just so a hard bounce doesn't trigger them.

[@Kar4ever3]

Achtung Spitfeuer. Glorious C64 days.

[@JamesLaserpimpWalsh]

I doubt they would have took off from Biggin Hill(Not enough fuel to have a fight on the other side) They would have taken off near the coast. The UK was PEPPERED with minor airfields especially down where I live in the New Forest area of Hampshire. I still gallop my horse up some of the abandoned grass strips. Nature has taken them over but you can still see the outlines of the grass ones and many of the concrete ones are still bout as well.

[@Wolfpack345]

They did infact take off and heavily use Biggin Hill. Here you can see the airfields 611 squadron used. Looks like they were at Biggin Hill from September 1942 - July 1943. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/No._611_Squadron_RAF

[@HydroSnips]

Huh? Biggin Hill was a sector airfield. Squadrons from there defended the evacuation of Dunkirk in 1940 & later flew sweeps of all descriptions (rhubarbs, circuses, ramrods etc) over NW France in 41, 42, 43 & 44. It was one of the most well-known & most famous British airfields of the war. Yeah, the Spitfire didn’t dawdle over France with fuel precious, but squadrons from Biggin were in continuous action over both UK and north-west Europe (France/Belge) from 39-45. You’ll also note the external fuel tank at the start (plus Wolf mentions it at a couple of points).

[@bwboy92]

Great channels as always. Just wondering, for combat flight sim noobs, do you recommend to start with DCS or the IL2?

[@Silverhks]

It's kind of 6 of 1, 1/2 dozen of the other. They each have advantages over the other. As someone just out of noob stage with this generation flight sim, I feel IL2 is more approachable for a noob but I'm sure someone will disagree with me.
