The horn is your gear warning horn. Basically it goes off with a closed throttle and the gear still up, so you don’t whoopsy doodle while landing on your belly in theory. Great vids, keep it coming!

[@carsons5750]

6:35 tail gunner dies then resurrects.

[@odonovan]

He was tired and had to catch a quick nap.

[@Agrippa666]

That’s because the pilot cast a lv6 resurrection spell

[@marcl.1346]

Reloading?

[@Bossshrew]

I thought this!

[@marksumner2292]

“Bumps-a Daisy, it’s enough to make you weep” 😉

[@timonsolus]

My thoughts exactly. But hey, in the VVS (Red Air Force) any landing you can walk away from is a good one!

[@VikingTeddy]

I was told the convergence also affects the vertical axis. So setting it further also points the guns up somewhat. This is beneficial for high angle deflection shots, giving you that bit of extra lead.

[@MIKE-se8ye]

I really love the historical aviation stuff Taff! particularly when it's a series and so well narrated! Keep them coming and my thanks!

[@tomblake189]

I really like the hurricane horn. It helps me guage how much throttle you use in a dog fight which is a nice it of info.

[@nikbear]

Excellent patrol, loving Trofim's continued success, surely there should have been credit for more than one kill? Bit stingy that! 🤔

[@theshadowsovereign8914]

I really enjoyed this edit. The perspective from shooter, and then transitioning the camera to the enemy airplane getting shot was brilliant. :) Great JOB!

[@conmcgrath7502]

Excellent visuals' the content is all soo the much better with your personal commentary. Huzzah the Taff!

[@robertmartyr2041]

finish them off taff :0) don't let them get away :0)

[@keithwaterhouse2845]

All those 303 rounds for a single kill, there is a lesson here for all Hurricane pilots I think. Certainly if I pick this game up I won't consider 303s if cannon is offered.

[@jamesrussell7760]

You have 4th lowest in flight hours, yet top in aircraft kills in the squadron, so you're doing something right. Betcha' it has something to do with having all those .303 MGs and especially all that ammo. 20mm cannon are groovy, but the ammo load for them sucks.

[@mckseal]

It is 100% worth taking the cannon. The fact that it has HE rounds mean one or two rounds will cripple a plane.

[@MrChildebert]

Nice weathering on the ME109

[@e.kent.d9561]

Always great videos. Think you need to use the cannons. The .303s just do not do the job.

[@jwrockets]

Looks like a co-op mission with Wolfpack 345. He's flying the MiG 3 right now.

[@deltonsparks6543]

Luv the video's.Fly the fw190 in your next campaign.😁😁😁😁😁

[@rabidbadger5260]

Can't help but think you do better with the cannons on. The short deadly bursts made short work of them last time. Great vid

[@matydrum]

Standard convergence irl for spits and huris was 230 meters.

[@zerinhofiver]

Is it just me or does it look like the aircraft are smiling?

[@Teneombre]

this munitions loadout seems to really need more punch. You have a lot of them but you only secure one or two victory each time. So no more than with the 20mm canon.

[@robertdubois3448]

.303 is not really cutting it. your going to have to upgrade.

[@timonsolus]

It’s not the guns that are the problem, it’s Taff’s aim.

[@mikemontgomery2654]

I’ve been saying the same thing. The hurricane with stronger guns will definitely deal more damage.

[@mikemontgomery2654]

@@timonsolus Taffy’s aim wasn’t too bad. He still got some good hits, specially on that second 109 and Stuka.

[@timonsolus]

@@mikemontgomery2654 : One 20 mm cannon puts out about the same weight of fire as 5 rifle calibre machine guns. So two 20 mm cannon and four .303 machine guns is about the same as 14 machine guns. And the Hurricane II normally has 12 machine guns.

[@mikemontgomery2654]

@@timonsolus you’re still throwing a lot more damage in one shot with a 20mm than a spray of .303 rounds. There is a reason the British moved away from strictly .303 brownings as soon as they could. There is also a reason you don’t see browning .303 being mounted on fighter jets after the war. Even .50 cal came to a point where it wasn’t nearly as effective for shooting planes down. Hell, the Russians modified the hurricane, in the first place, because they weren’t happy with only .303 guns. They got better results from cannons and .50 cal.

[@barneypfife5552]

is this a vr game great game I have war thunder but this is the first time I have seen this game do play against other players or are you playing against bots

[@gasmonkey1000]

You think the other members of Trofim's flight are jealous of him or if they're just bros?

[@wideyxyz2271]

Having read about Russian fighter and bomber pilots there would have been plenty of banter and joshing but in the end they would be complete bros looking out for each other. Like most tight knit groups do.

[@DerredmaxTRIAX]

Tiny bullets Tiny effects! 4 20s would rip it i half like a phone book.....

[@Mnelenpist]

ролик класс

[@comesahorseman]

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👍

[@franktozier3184]

I still think you need heavier armament

[@timonsolus]

12 guns not enough for you?

[@rabidbadger5260]

I think the cannons will help

[@timonsolus]

@@rabidbadger5260 : Cannons do more damage, but it can be more difficult to hit with them, if they have a lower muzzle velocity than machine guns.

[@WW-sx5eq]

Stop!!!!Hurricane vs.109.....?May be Only Guy's from the 303 Sq.could make it!!!Remember 109 could easily turn the Hurricane down.PS:Stuka max 2000 ft till Stalingrad 6000 ft....ok!!!!!!

[@Ayns.L14A]

first.

[@LawrenceSeetoh]

ok

[@itzoggy9640]

[@sexondabeach1000]
