JG 9 Campaign: Episode 2 Attacking River Bases(Milsim) | DCS

[@scottr9900]

Kudos to the designer. Great work on the narrative, and the missions are playing out along. Very cool.

[@bypass2632]

Glad you are enjoying it. We will finish with the Stalingrad operation in the next one and then it will be goodbye to ice and snow and hello to sun and sand. That’s, if JG 9 lives to fight another day! Stay tuned

[@scottr9900]

I see parallels to the mythical Black Sheep squadron.

[@bypass2632]

Absolutely, it’s a good story and was told well. Similar stories are equally popular round the world and through history, 47 Ronin, Inglorious basterds, Dirty Dozen, 300 Spartans, Sharpes Rifles, the French Foreign Legion. I guess it captures the imagination. I’ll try to keep the episodes interesting and challenging!

[@JD96893]

I really like these war bird campaigns, just wish DCS had more of them!

[@bypass2632]

Completely agree! We are missing the pacific warbirds, the Russian and Italian warbirds, and many US and European ones. I hope we get some momentum going to some more WW2 modules!

[@nath-hh2ff]

I'm really liking this campaign. Nice to see the old 109 she's a beast.

[@Billy0Jay]

Plane crashes on take off bursts into flames and Cap sticks around for the boom

[@austenbin4068]

Wow! Nice kills, Cap, and that last landing was a thing of beauty. It's almost like you know what you are doing. Frankly, I find this new found competence very concerning.

[@grimreapers]

Me too. Must crash immediately.

[@lanetaylor3900]

Love that JU-52 in the picture. I've been lucky enough to get to climb around one and even do a little engineering work on it (the bird that's owned by Lufthansa). :)

[@mattmcbee7109]

Wow, the takeoffs look so hard in these aircraft.

[@mrlodwick]

Thank you.

[@erikmartin4877]

Hi all Aviators!!! I wanted to mention the good job Cap did as wingman particulary not shooting at the back of leader, most have target fascination & shoots even when leader is at the 6 of bandit.

[@Joel-st5uw]

I've watched videos about tail-dragger takeoffs. Isn't the key to "fly the tail" before rotating? Stick forward to get the tail off the ground as early as possible, this provides both 1) visibility and 2) rudder authority prior to rotation. Maybe this is way harder than GR's "pucker and pray" technique? Either way, always a joy to watch!

[@ForestBlue7]

Holy schneickeys Cap! Can’t believe you pulled out of that.

[@rhenry7949]

Taking off is always an adventure.

[@infinite2246]

Absolutely incredible. Please do more DCS WW2 dogfight videos!

[@Daledout]

I want to see a video of the max deceleration of various jets,including landing gear,flaps,canopy without wrecking the plane completely.But landing with a chance of fighting again this week.Maybe the pilot can get out would be acceptable...Please try this.

[@BobH809]

Cap! Check Six, both sides! Live long and boom boom.

[@MattWaller04]

Awesome video! Looks like fun!

[@profo4544]

D series dora's! my favorite dogfighter of ww2. Dude who do you have flying the doras ? what was that takeoff.

[@teawizard]

MOOOOREEE, GIVE ME MOOOOORRRREEEEE 😂😂. Brilliant missions, Bypass(?)🙌

[@roderickval]

This Campaign is Awesome !

[@bypass2632]

And only beginning! let’s see who can survive and get those promotions!

[@formerlydistantorigins6972]

I have an idea for you. What would a naval engagement being like in the 82 Falklands War, if the Belgrano had not been sunk, the sub told not to attack, until it had fired on UK forces, or gone within the restricted zone. Also, the Home Fleet Vs Britain's modern carrier group.

[@grimreapers]

Recording that today :)

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

I do believe some GR pilots need some additions tail dragger take off and landing training. Some shaky moves there boys. But I sympathize. I try flying the T-51 in DCS and it's painful.

[@grimreapers]

Agree, GR members really struggling with warbirds at moment for some reason.

[@bypass2632]

I understand it seems that way, but I’ve been really pleased with how members are brave enough to try jumping into some of their lesser flown warbirds, just to participate in this campaign. I’ll make sure to throw something unexpected at them in every mission 🤣

[@dexlab7539]

Absolutely classic GR take-offs 😆

[@rockpilerookies9527]

I Have tried this link and it is safe and working.

[@114jen]

Not on topic for this video and you may well already be aware, but I've just seen a you tube channel called Fast Jet Performance, about the introduction of the Tornado into DCS, the host is a consultant on the development team and was asking for feedback and questions for the development team...thought it might be of interest to you...

[@advorak8529]

Tornado ... Group Captain deFault says hia!

[@voradfils]

GR milsim = navigation by smoke signals and giant radio towers every 10 miles

[@grimreapers]

As close as GR gets to milsim??

[@bypass2632]

Step by step, mission by mission, I’ll get the boys there eventually 🤣 we take on ADF Navigation in the next mission and things are just beginning in this campaign. By the end of the ww2 marathon i have planned for them, the lads will be naturals (Don’t tell Cap though)

[@voradfils]

@@bypass2632 Sounds good. It's surprisingly hard for most people to look at a map and compare it to what they see around them which is the obvious issue here. On the other hand, I get that reading a map is hard and even risky in a close formation setting. Flight lead can afford to glance for a few seconds at a time which is just about enough but wingmen simply can't follow where they are going without a serious amount of preparation and practice. I will maintain a strict confidentiality policy.

[@ecbst6]

Wonderful cinematography on this one, has the Academy been made aware yet?

[@Tenright77]

Cap, Thanks for the Quick Response, Henry...Check six...

[@grimreapers]

Pleasure Henry

[@techforthedisabled9514]

@Grim Reapers can viewers, and donators play IL -2 with your groups like in DCS and Arma 3?

[@grimreapers]

YES! all welcome. Come play.

[@LiamTucker]

Staffel 1 dissapearing again..and leaving all the baddies for staffel 2... Again. 👍😭🤣. Least we got all the bombing runs in, but not in the video :(

[@bypass2632]

Hope you enjoyed that attack run with Flight of the Valkyries. Was made for you ground pounders. 👍🏻

[@Davros-vi4qg]

Are we the baddies, no, really, but are we???

[@ohio948]

Fw190 went code Brown on takeoff

[@tiadiad]

Simba...14:58

[@manjisaipoe517]

Hey Cap, I was watching on my phone and trying to understand why you were flying at such an odd angle with your port wing down 30 degrees. Then I realized it was my phone that was pitched over and you were flying mostly level the last 5 minutes. Does that make me an honorary member of the reapers?!? ;-)

[@OliverVonLindenthal]

Cap, wo hast du deutsch sprechen gelernt? Makes me smile everytime... 😁👍

[@grimreapers]

I lived in Schwartzwald for 5 months in 2014. Learned to speak there but TBH pretty much forgot everything now :(

[@OliverVonLindenthal]

@@grimreapers Aah, beautiful Schwarzwald. A nice place to learn phrases like "Lass mich allein" or "Ich bin das Sonderkommando Elbe" 🤪🤙

[@Crusader_Lite]

Why not use a bf110 instead of a mosquito

[@BarbosaUral]

If only 3 fighters are used, you wouldn't call yourself a Staffel, but a Schwarm.

[@rockpilerookies9527]

Hey cap i have a viewer request. could you please try this sim with some of the gr guys. I have used it before and the graphics/mechanics are rather "interesting".

[@ΣταυροςΣπυρου]

Spitfire Vs zero plzzzzzzzzzz

Hello young chaps! HEHE

Hi

[@ronaldfinkelstein6335]

I can understand a fascination with U-Boats, in World War 2...but Why this fascination with the Russian Front? I know nothing of JG 9, but it sounds like it is just another Russian Front campaign. I admit to being a chauvinistic American, who prefers to see Western Front campaigns.

[@bypass2632]

No fascination, JG 9 will be flying in all theatres and against all foes by the time I’m finished with them! I got interested in the luftwaffe story because after 1942 they were more and more outnumbered and fighting a losing battle, i though it make good narrative. We’re on to the Med next to take on the RAF and RN (top secret still). I make missions from all sides and points of view to use all the airplanes available in dcs. I have made lots of US centric missions and will make more in future so if you stick around I’m sure you’ll find something you like.

[@shanepregler9865]

I get too much anxiety watching cap fly, he has the attention span of a 6 year old… Who’s baby sitting who at church?

[@grimreapers]

lols fair point.

[@advorak8529]

At church? The deity/deities they pray to there. Assuming they exist. Obviously!

[@vincevassallo5385]

I don’t see the point of using non-authentic aircraft on either side. Spitfire Mosquito Mustang in German colors?! The performance differences are too variable among your aircraft on both sides. P47s in Russian colors? Bah! Also why are there so many crashes on take off? Are your ppl that flakey or is there some server/software issue?

[@farinafranqui]
