Brilliant both of you, pleasant looking video. What about "What if" aircraft (Horten's, Lippisch, Messerschmidt - Arado - Focke Wulf projects) ? Keep going anyway, see you soon .

Shotgun the madlad. Watching his escapades has got me back into the channel.

He can make that thing dance, apparently. Didn't know a Jug could do WWI-style snap rolls.

7:01 - GS calls the P-47 a "fat pig" if it gets slow. 8:07 - P-47: "And I took that personally." 😄 I'm loving these warbird dogfights, bro. Thanks for mixing these in among your other excellent content!

[@WinVisten]

Took it personally BOTH times!

[@andzejwojownik8012]

@@GrowlingSidewinder BTW after you shot that P-47 at 7:39, he managed to hit you a bit, then you're going basically straight while P-47 plants itself on your tail. To my ABSOLUTELY UNEDUCATED eye that situation looked rather avoidable. Or was it really? What exactly happened here? That P-47 looked to be hit pretty damn good so it's not like your aircraft was shot to pieces and his was doing fine (unless these hits around the engine did absolutely nothing).

[@TonyTheKiwi62]

Crazy how quickly it went sideways after you called the P47 a fat pig in round 2 😂

The Jug doing Jug things. Eats 20mm, stays in the fight, and then returns the favor x2

[@luizucchetto2528]

I like the idea of attacking bombers. Infact I have already created one such sceario in which 2 large formations of B17's escorted by P47 come across the Channel at 25000 feet in two waves. I used Bf109's in my mission starting at 30000 feet. I have about 50 aircrafts in the air at one time. Lots of fun and tons of vapour trails. Keep up with the Warbird videos!!!!

he pulled a really nice moved there at 8:40 using his rudder to drift sideways allowing him to keep guns on target for longer. Great fight, really enjoying these WW2 scenarios.

This was awesome! P47 is my favorite plane, since I was a kid. Love to see these types of dog fights. The maneuver by Shotgun at 7:55, was some wtf lol

[@robertgretter9452]

I saw a 190 in a museum. I think it was Dayton Ohio. The placard said it had 75%the horsepower of the P 47, but weighed half as much. The 190 looked tiny compared to the P47.

[@Nate_935_]

Almost every ww2 fighter looks tiny compared to the p47 lol

[@vornamenachname989]

​@@Nate_935_Yeah, but considering the heavy armament of the FW190, the role as an interceptor and a fighter bomber, and the proportional size compared to the Bf109 it makes sense that people think the FW190 is a big plane

[@MarkBluck]

Gotta watch that target fixation there. FW-190 Bomber intercept would be cool

[@whisperingpinup3585]

Target fixation is the same problem as pilot that fly HUD BFM... you have to be steps ahead, never respond to direct stimuli unless you are forcing an overshoot.

[@brettvaughn1058]

What I like most about the aerial dogfight is the geometry and physics. It’s cool what is being done with new missile technology but this is the stuff I most like to see.

[@iron_talon]

You figured out the FW-190A's secret sauce in the second round with the Rolling Scissor - the Aileron roll of that thing is matched by very few fighters. Will let you escape from pursuit fairly easily, especially if you have them coming in fast like that.

[@Ankhobo]

GS being so bloodthirsty that he even splashed himself! Always amazing to see a ww2 fight against Shotgun.

[@kristianfischer9814]

The first 190s showed up over the English Channel in August 1941. Instantly outclassed the Mk V Spitfire and accelerated the development of the Mk IX.

[@kristianfischer9814]

The RAF got crazy lucky when a German pilot got lost and accidentally landed his Fw-190A-3 at a British airfield in the summer of 1942.

[@boomboomyourdoomdoom1767]

Actually the 190 had better fire power speed climb and role rate it was one of those the British over reation to it thinking it was better and created the spitfire with shorter wings. Turned out the 190 has the same abilitys around the f4u p47 and 190 more of a heaver fighter like the p47.

[@Flange-lw9sp]

Mk IX was one of the greatest marks of the Spitfire, and arguably one of the greatest fighters of WW2, so the 190 did us a big favour😅

For sure. Between this and the first dogfight from the other recent WW2 video with Shotgun in his yellow P-51 it's really hard to decide which is better. GS: Thanks today to Shotgun for flying as my opponent. Shotgun: I'mma about to ruin this man's entire career.

What GS demonstrated at the very end there is called an "uncontrolled departure from flight". :D

[@truthseeker9454]

FW = Falling Warbird 😆

[@nickforster748]

My understanding was that due to it’s weight, the P-47 would use slashing attacks and not turn with 109s or 190s. If they tried to dive away, the P-47 could easily chase them down. Roll rate is where the 190 excels so single circle fights down low would be a great option. As soon as Shotgun started reversing, I feel you had the edge. I agree with all the comments about the WW2 fights - great fun to watch. Thanks to Shotgun also! 👏🏻

[@whylie74]

It's a Plexiglass canopy so it is plastic and that's why there's a section of piano hinge in it.

[@havocmwf]

The "Butcher Bird" was an awesome aircraft.

[@TNTPRI3ST]

The sound of the throttle increasing when you found him behind you 😂

[@scottcooper4391]

The FW 190 was primarily used against Allied Bombers. And it excelled in that role. THe Germans kept upgrading the armament (making it heavier) to be more effective in that role.

[@Laerei]

By making it heavier, it got worse at dogfighting, meaning they had to be escorted by nimbler Bf-109s.

[@Informed104]

That was absolutely excellent! WWII dogfights rule. Thanks GS!

[@ccramit]

Love the WW2 props. You have to get in close and can't rely on afterburning engines to help with energy conservation.

[@nachexrocker]

[@thecanadian1]

This gives me Microsoft Flight Combat vibes, man that was fun at the time. Another fun vid. 👍

[@Existentialcrisis_1488]

In most terms the 190 A8 was out classed by mid and later variants of the P47. The A8 was mostly used for ground attack and bomber interception, it was seriously out classed by most front line fighters in 1944. Still capable yes but especailly above 16 000ft it couldn’t really hold a candle in terms of raw performance compared to allied fighters. A great work horse of an aircraft though able to be utilized in many different roles, easy to maintain and work on. Had a very good cockpit design and layout for its time too.

[@andersjjensen]

1:1:1 was a funny outcome because you juuust said "I'm going to be very careful" :P And yes, Shotgun can absolutely do the "I'm a leaf on the wind. Watch me soar" drifting maneuvers. I'd like to see you two do P51 vs P51, etc, so the aircraft are identical.
