On this channel we like to do a lot of dogfighting most videos are some sort of dogfight between 2 different aircraft as we explore their different capabilities. From time to time I like to dabble in Virtual Reality, I think VR is a great new technology and I love to show that stuff off for the channel from time to time.
If you prefer more up close and personal dogfights consider the IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battle series and experience intense WWII aerial combat over famous battlefields such as Stalingrad, Moscow, Rhineland and Normandy. Fight in and against Russian, American, German, British warbirds such as the P-51 Mustang, P-47 Thunderbolt, Bf-109, FW-190, Spitfire, Hurricane and rugged IL-2 Sturmovik attack plane. You can also fly legendary SPADS, Fokkers and Camels in WWI dogfights over the trenches of WWI and discover your inner Red Baron! And all of this can be experienced in jaw dropping virtual reality!
If you enjoy war thunder or Microsoft flight simulator 2020, consider getting yourself into Digital Combat Simulator by Eagle Dynamics, the Combat side of Aviation with the BVR and Dogfights really provides a different and interesting perspective on aviation. You can fly all kinds of combat aircraft including the F-16, F-15, F-14, JF-17, Su-27, Mig-29, Mirage and the F-18 Hornet along with many other aircraft and helicopters like the Ka-50 and Mi-8.

I am actually lucky enough to know a Spitfire pilot who flew Spitfires from 1941 to the end of the war. He also flew the Hurricane, Blenheim and Defiant. He said he once flew a Spitfire through a double doored aircraft hangar! I said what did your CO say - he said he did it first! He also flew a Spitfire under the Forth bridge. He reckoned you wouldn't have been able to flew a Hurricane through a hangar as is got squirrely at very low level. He was shot down twice and has so many great tales.

When the Hurri blew up, I may have an explanation. 30mm cannons weren't usually on German aircraft this early, definitely not 109s. I'm assuming a fuel tank explosion from a 20mm minenenschloss (mine shelll round

yes, somewhat recently they redid fuel tank explosions and now they are quite common. ammo explosions are also possible

Bf 109 K ”Kurfürst” was the only model of 109s that was fitted with engine mounted 30mm mk108 cannon. All the BF109s in Battle of Britain campaign were E-models "Emil". E-models were armed with MG17 machineguns and MG-FF 20 mm cannons. So no 30mm cannons in Battle of Britain yet.

[@dstavs]

Awesome video, as always. Really enjoying the WW2 content and the IL-2 gameplay. A patient of mine was 6-years-old during the Battle of Britain. She can still recall watching the Hurricanes and Spitfires duelling with the 109’s and 190’s in the skies above her hometown. Her mother had to rush her and her siblings inside to keep them from being killed by falling debris. I can only imagine what that must have been like. Watching the deadly ballet in a digital battlefield makes for a nice substitute.

[@bushmasterflash]

Among the aircrew who fought the Battle of Britain were about 600 or so pilots from Czechoslovakia, Poland, Canada, New Zealand, and other nations pilots. If Britain had fallen, Europe as a whole would have fallen. World history would be very different. I was in the RAF and I have spoken to men on both sides who fought this fight. They were almost all terrified during that kind of encounter. Your ground crew can't repair a plane that is in the sea, so when you have no wingman left and you are on your own against 3 or 4 it's time to get it back to base.

[@Pablo668]

Great vid. From what I've read, the Hurricane was considered a superior gun platform to the Spit with its big straight wing and guns mounted in two blocks of four. It was maneuverable and quite robust. Bit of an underrated fighter.

[@Matterian]

DUDE!! You are KILLING it!! Some awesome action. I got a sense of doom and anxiety watching this video!!! 10/10 on the Matterian scale

When I was a kid my dentist had a burned face. He was one of the original ‘guinea pigs’, the first recipients of plastic facial surgery after being shot down in his Spitfire, BoB. Thank you Dr Hancock.

[@goawayihavecommentstomake1488]

I bought and started playing IL2 because of one of your vids! Using a TM16000, and there is quite a learning curve with the jitter, and not going past your angle of attack when you are committed to an attack. It’s funny… you can be one of the best aces of the war, and yet bend your prop every landing. I like to think the ground crew tease my pilot constantly about it.

[@wafflehouse6552]

Love that you’re diversifying so much! You should do a small IL2 career

[@ajaxmaintenance3894]

The Hawker Hurricane was the unsung hero of the BoB. 33 squadrons flew the Hurricane while there were fewer than 20 RAF squadrons flying the Spitfire.

[@Boslandschap1]

Agreed, IL-2 in VR is amazing. Valiant battle btw.

[@siraulu1]

I have only recently found you and I have been thinking about getting IL2 Sturmovik for a while but never pulled the trigger. I flew the old flight sims of the 90's as well as War Birds. Since finding you though, I have purchased IL2 and I couldn't be more impressed. I also downloaded DCS. So thanks to you for posting these videos and allowing me to see what I have been missing. Working on a set-up for my stick and throttle and soon will get the Oculus for the VR. I have learned a lot from watching your vids and I want to thank you so much for posting and sharing your insights.

Started playing in VR in late 2019 and I beat the Georgian/Bear Trap F-15 Campaign almost immediately. It’s just a whole different level of immersion.

[@w_cgn]

Very nice video, great dog fighting and immersive experience. Probably the closest thing alongside historical footage and gun cams that can make us see and feel what happened in the skies of WW2. Small inaccuracy, the FW190 first combat appearance was in August 1941, so it would not have been participating in the BoB. Other than that, great video. Keep it up mate!

[@micromachinist3419]

There should be NO Fw190s during the Battle of Britain. And as far as I know, you shouldn't be able to fly the Hurricane Mk2 during the Battle of Britain either. The MK 1 had 8 .303s and I don't think the MK 2 with the 12 .303s was used until North Africa which was right after the Battle of Britain.

[@hybrid6692]

That's right Spit and Hurri were Mk1s although Mk2 Spits arrived at the tale end of the battle , but only a few, i noticed the Stukas are a late model aswell , not Battle of Britain period , hadn't watched right through , hadn't seen the FWs and as you say definitely not in the battle , are there any Dornier 17s and ME110s in this issue ?

[@fightersweep]

I get the impression this is using existing aircraft from IL-2 as the Luftwaffe types are all carrying Eastern Front theatre markings. Probably also explains the use of late model Ju-87s. IL-2 Cliffs of Dover is the Battle of Britain game, but I've no idea if that supports VR. Correct on the Hurricane. The Mark IIA series 2 with 12 machine guns were first built in February 41.

[@Jetdrag]

@@fightersweep They are currently working on VR implementation with CloD and Tobruk, they have to rework some of the older cockpits into 3d models.

[@wormeaten]

From my experience in Il2 CloD, there is a setup for convergence point and as well how you mixing bullets AP, explosive and incendiary. Basically in Spit and Hurricane, you got ammo for 11 seconds of continuous fire. That's why you want to shoot the enemy directly on conversion point, out of it efficiency is practically reduced by 50% if you are good to be accurate with guns from only one wing. I don't know how this is in Great Battles but in CloD you can set up your convergence, better pilots put it on long-distance but beginners set it closer but have to sneak much closer than. Also, the right wingspan setup is crucial as well that is why you have to memorize the wingspan for your opponent's plane and change it during flight depend on the target. This will increase your efficiency significantly in Spit or Hurrican.

[@currololo]

You can also set up your convergence in Great Battles.

[@bulldog71ss33]

Hurricane gun convergence was set at around 250-300 yards, a fighter wingspan should just touch the edges of the reticle.

The "Harry Kane" cockpit really is extremely cramped, I guess even more so than the 109s. Really something you'll just experience in VR. The only thing I hate about Il-2 in VR is the fact that the collimated reticle in any aircraft is practically invisible. They really need to change that somehow by giving an option so you don't have to sit in the exact sweet spot to be able to see it just barely.
