[@truesurvivor5767]

That is was one of the best. Really felt like you were just trying to survive instead of glory hunting. Great example of how sometimes this game just wont let you live without a fight, gives a bit of reality to the game!

[@richardbuchs3815]

Well said!!

[@mattwilcox3645]

gripping action

[@thecalazoneh4917]

25:30 I love how you added the clip of that tempest crashing trying to land. Just adds so much detail and feeling.

[@BretHiggins]

I know it's a game, but I always get that pang of guilt in my stomach when a pilot is killed. I -always- want them to bail, no matter which country I am flying for.

[@robgraham5697]

Man, that was tense. No drinking tonight though. The medics will be prescribing pain killers after they pull all that glass out of you. alcohol and morphine are a bad mix.

[@esbenk.d.jensen9345]

“My god that was a fight for my life” Well put… after I expected you to land, you continue and take out another two thunderbolts - with oil all over the windscreen and no visibility. Masterful flying - and lots of cutting the grass :) Last man standing. Respect.

[@Nox_Desiree]

RIP Joseph Von Dannenberg, Sebastian will surely have to write to his mother.

[@johanalitalo8331]

A Dark Day indeed, but nice flying and good Work Taking out those thunderbolts.

[@zxbzxbzxb1]

Wow both sides suffered an utter bloodbath! Nice flying by yourself though 👍

[@wartsnall7332]

@1:35 "There's a crossroads in the river." Not quite Taff, they're canals. The "Zuid Willemsvaart" and the "Wessem-Nederweert".

[@graustreifbrombeerkralle1078]

F for Joseph and the rest of the squadron :(

[@daffyduck1974]

After those hits i’d b straight on my way back to base. I’d done my bit for King & Country lol.

[@thomashiggins9320]

Thought Sebastian was done for, at least twice, on that one.

[@olivergarcia2304]

Wow, what a cool mission! Nail biter!

[@jamesrussell7760]

Dark day for the squadron, but you actually destroyed 6 aircraft counting those 2 maneuver kills. Hell of a fight peering through the oil. I regret I have but 1 upvote to give you.

[@foreverpinkf.7603]

Well flown, Taff and good shooting as well. Glad you made it home. That was an intense sortie. I think, that´s more your kind of game than tactics.

[@frankxu2321]

A dark day for Seb, but he is (almost) an Ace in one day!

[@richardbuchs3815]

Taft, your flying Skills have increased Exponentially, my Friend. Your playing the "The Long Dark" All 4 versions. Early access, sandbox, released game, Winter! I've watched them all.have given you Awereness of your surroundings! Very much enjoy to watch you Fly! Thanks again a"Fan"...🐸

[@carlcordle1502]

Fantastic production mate

[@hornet5860]

The photo of Sebastian von Dannenberg bears a strong resemblance to Adolf Galland. He was a flying ace with 104 aerial victories, general of the fighter pilots and he flew the Me 262 in the 44th Fighter Group, which he led, if I remember correctly.

[@IamHoly....]

Great flying mate..And always checking your 6..

[@blintzkreig1638]

That was exciting to watch, thank you.

[@steves7973]

Taff Strikes Back !

[@Paludion]

I just imagined Taff running away from the Thunderbolts with the asteroid field music from ESB. With that theme in mind, the allied planes crashing into each other is fitting.

[@isaiahcampbell3217]

Funny thing is that the flight took place on my birthday, great flying taff

[@nikbear]

Blimey, that was flippin epic! 😲 you flew like an absolute demon, shame about the rest of the flight, but you did them proud Taff 👏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 excellent video 👍🍻

[@johnsullivan6843]

Well if you want an omelet you have to break a couple of eggs.🤔 Remind me again if aviator "Sea Bass" did indeed get credit for those two kills (plural) where the enemy collided and tore each others wings off? It is plain to see this was obviously a result of highly skilled maneuvering! Is there a way within the game to get the backstory on Joseph?

[@Nangleator22]

Yeager got credit for two kills without firing a shot. As he dove at an enemy formation, one plane spotted him and crashed into the next.

[@johnsullivan6843]

@@Nangleator22 ok thanks for the update 👍

[@bongotastic]

This was definitely an intense mission.

[@carlcordle1502]

How you did that I will never know. Excellent shooting

[@ditzyneko637]

POggers! Wounded wolf.

[@JarlVikingr]

Oh so sweatie l would have to say at the least ! Another damaged kite.....but excellent flying ! Herr Sebastian..... Congratulation's on your 17th Seige..l personally thought you brought down 18 craft, l guess one of them must have only have been damaged !

[@andrewmontgomery5621]

Speaking of aces, I went to see the new Top Gun Maverick movie and it was totally "AWESOME!!!"

[@Silverhks]

I'm surprised your engine kept running. Nicely done

[@LeopardIL2]

Good show Taff!

[@mikhailiagacesa3406]

Good job. Should check your map and find where your own AAA is; if the game allows it. Thanks for showing the landing from the outside. Fine landing for a wounded bird.

[@ivepeters]

Should've got credit for the two destroyed after they collided following you.

[@gr0bbelaar]

A dark day? You better not kill him now. Edit: Yikes.

when you have more oil in your face then in your engine you need to get down

Nice,greedy though

[@christopherhanton6611]

good video but your right a bad DARK DAY INDEED

[@Paludion]

*in Wayne June's voice* "How quickly the tides turn..." Edit : Oh no ! You lost the brother/cousin/relative you *definitely remember having* and who enlisted shortly after you ! Next mission : Anyway...

[@IkomaKoma]

Well, actually... Joseph with 101 flight hours vs Seb's 6 can hardly be enlisted shortly after him. Assuming Seb's 6 hours for 6 days is a good ballpark average for German fighter pilots at this point in the war, Joseph should have been flying combat sorties for some 4 months straight by this point. Assuming half a year in training and a few months of basic before that, Joseph should have enlisted no later than around the time Italy surrendered, if we're assuming low intensity and rest periods, maybe even as far back as Stalingrad. And that's assuming no lengthy recovery periods from wounds, in which case Josep might have been flying with the Luftwaffe ever since Poland fo all we know. In contrast Seb probably enlisted around the new year this year. As soon as he was eligible? New Year's resolution to save the Fatherland? Something like that.

[@NotAFirefighter1]

No medals or promotions :(

[@nuclearhominoidea]

considering you were the best of the squadron and only killed fighters. You probably would be transferred to bf-109s or prototype ta152s or i dont know the date in the game but maybe to me262s. I hope to see how you fly those

[@timonsolus]

Getting 4 kills doesn't make up for losing your younger brother in combat. You'll be feeling guilty for not being in the right place at the right time to save him. What are you going to say to mother?

[@RemusKingOfRome]

Why does Taff have a suicide desire ? pact with the Devil ?

[@woofdogmeow2159]

I will park this adventure under SHITE LUCK PREVAILS !!!

[@stevioAda]

tempest would eat fw for breakfast

[@dumerkoff]

Get used to it. By this point in the war luftwaffe training no longer exists. If this game is accurate your new squadron mates are only going to get worse.

[@algiz21]

This is very saddening, your commander and whole squad dead including your family member. What's sad for me is that my last name is Haas. My great grandfather Peter Haas fought in the Wehrmacht in Ukraine 1943.

[@norcalsrt1214]

Man the ai pilots are absolutely horrible no offense but u would have lasted about 3 mins on a multi player server
