I wish You all a Merry and Happy Xmas!

You too smigol

[@JefferyTheriault]

And a happy new year as well, that'll be a little more difficult, I admit. We'll just have to work for it.

WW1 was definitely peak dogfights.

[@VacatedData]

“1508 was the peak of bow and arrows” type post

[@darealsherlock8026]

@@VacatedData It was tho. Absolute units with strength so crazy that we can see the difference in their FUCKING BONES. Imagine being so swole people hundreds of years later can see it in your BONES.

[@Acetheskyhook]

I would have to disagree. Ww2 is my favorite. The speed adds a different aspect to it.

[@goofymax0656]

Absolutely, the sheer balls it took to fly those machines that were prone to malfunctions (structural and mechanical). Pilots respected one and other, knowing the dangers of soaring above the front in ‘flying tractors’, duelling in dogfights of endurance. And the fame of becoming an ace, were the stuff of legend.

[@TheArklyte]

The fun part is that that landed Albatross probably thought that you decided to be merciful, not that your magazine ran dry 😅

[@smigoltime]

YEAH XDDD

This plane got me into flight sims in rise of flight! De Haviland makes damn good planes!

[@pyencdocde5716]

Silly biplanes, could you imagine if they were real?

[@damaan1243]

I ❤ barely airworthy kites with engines

[@TheJackHood]

Smigol once again proving Maverick right, it's not the plane, it's the pilot.

[@fsdgi105]

we already got an absolure cinema fight at the start of the video

[@-Batemen]

Gunnery is filthy here bruh, absolute bathtub menace.

[@The.Drunk-Koala]

If Smigol got behind me I'd just jump outta the plane.

[@rauss_]

Bro this plane is a design straight from bad piggies

[@No.10_Hunter]

it was great flying with you when we did, shame about that collision we had tho lmao

[@smigoltime]

yeah XD I was gonna include it but the clip was corrupted sadly

[@RosemaryHedgerows]

WW1 fights are so flowy yet incredibly brutal; easily one of my favourite periods of aerial combat

[@MrTurboTurkey]

I like spinning pizzagun ballistics computer content, nice changeup man.

[@fenny1578]

Loved the DH.2 since I first played Rowans Dawn Patrol. Can never get enough of this airframe and the Noop 11.

[@kermit_thefrog029]

Thanks for the early Christmas present Smigol!

[@Nickkyboy99]

I'm surprised he didn’t just dive away to create some distance and reengage when he saw that flying lawnmower kite on his six lmao

[@azerty74140]

The nostalgia hits very very hard with that red ace squadron music

[@borisgrishenko652]

The Bathtub Baron

[@old_guard2431]

And WarThunder brakes at the end. . . Perfect

[@emptyarthaus9535]

What a crazy design, even for a biplane. Bifurcated single tail push prop radial engined double stack wings...it's bonkers. Pilots were really something back then.

[@NietoKT]

Does this engine even have throttle? Because based on sound it doesn't seem so, only a toggle switch at best LOL

[@smigoltime]

It doesn't, it has a blip switch to cut ignition if you want to slow down

[@old_guard2431]

Grocery cart with lawnmower engine & Lewis gun conquers all.

[@BrockvsTV]

thank you for the content, I really enjoyed it

[@devilishruby1002]

Is it just me or is the engine spinning together with the propeller?

[@devilishruby1002]

Also btw, ww1 planes have really bad machine guns huh. Low fire rate damn

[@sargesacker2599]

That my friend is what we call a rotary engine.

[@smigoltime]

That's literally the idea of rotary engines lmao

[@devilishruby1002]

@@smigoltime damn. They made it quite literally and we just dumbed it down XD

[@quentintin1]

pmuch all early radials were like that before we perfected casting techniques allowing to make the dense cooling fin arrays of later radials and yeah rotary engines fun fact also, those engines don't have a throttle, they run at 100% all of the time, to stop accelerating the pilot had a "blip switch", which is a button on the stick that will literally cut the ignition when held, hence the interrupts in the engine noise

More of these early war birds!

[@Erden99]

wait do the cylinders spin with the prop on this aircraft??

[@kermit_thefrog029]

Radial engine.

[@quentintin1]

rotary engine you see a radial-equipped plane in WWI, the engine is a rotary fun little egnines

Wait is this flying circus or il2?

[@smigoltime]

@@daboops1897 IL-2: Flying Circus. Its a DLC

[@daboops1897]

@ oh I meant rise of flight XD Il2 flying circus is newer right? Is it better than ROF?

[@hunormagyar1843]

​​@@daboops1897Definitely newer. The terrain certainly looks better, the physics is a little more polished. RoF might still have more aircraft variety tho, not sure.

[@smigoltime]

@hunormagyar1843 ROF has the Felixtowe and Hansa Brandenburg flying boats and thats the only two planes still missing in Flying Circus. Damage models are a lot better, gun dispersion, physics, weather, maps... and first of all there are people playing it, unlike RoF nowadays

[@daboops1897]

@hunormagyar1843 flying circus has more active servers I imagine?
