Hey guys, how about you re-enact the 633 Squadron raid?

[@bendydcs3504]

Definitely worth a watch, one of my favourites :)

[@YourLocalZombie]

"Actual Target" "What we hit" It's too funny. Really drives home how much harder life was without GPS and NODs.

[@Larlanen]

I swear, my wife is going to be so mad if I watch many more of these videos. I used to have a decent joystick/throttle setup but fell out of the hobby years ago. You guys have me itching to get a new kit and dive into DCS.

[@fhlostonparaphrase]

Can't your wife borrow your joystick from time to time? 🙃

[@Larlanen]

I see what ya did there. lol

[@fhlostonparaphrase]

@@Larlanen A cheap shot perhaps, but why should you hoard all the fun for yourself?! Everyone needs a good co-pilot 😇

[@Larlanen]

Not cheap at all. I appreciate a good bit of sarcastic innuendo as much as the next g.... nope, not giving you that one.

[@johneckert1690]

My wife is 110 percent onboard with me getting in to DCS. But with the recession hitting the semiconductor industry so hard my work hours have gone from 60 plus hours a week to 32 hours a week and I am having to use the funds I've been saving for DCS just to live on. I will get there someday but sense January I've used about 10,000 dollars from savings just to pay bills.

[@Youngie761]

The take off was great, the confusion, the panic. Love it. Congratulations on your new baby Cap!

[@douglasarthur2673]

In true British fashion they somehow muddled through to victory ✌🏻

[@grimreapers]

thxx

[@Optinet100]

That take-off was mad!

[@Maverick0451]

This was brilliant all around!!! Damn, just imagine the nerve of all those RAF pilots who flew countless night missions. That is a whole different kind of flying, and it takes an immense amount of skill to fly essentially blind, just using your instruments!!! Hats off to all you Grim Reapers for even getting off the freaking ground in those conditions!!!

[@owensks]

My great grandfather was in Bomber Command flying under the RCAF he mainly flew the Lancaster but he had a few hours in the mossie Flying the Lancaster it would always be nightime he would tell me how it was oddly calming as he couldn’t see the ground until the Flak would start so he never really had to worry about the ground because what you cant See cant hurt you 😂

[@kingfish4575]

I know CAP is busy its just always fun to watch him re-familiarize himself with every cockpit lol....

[@grimreapers]

Hey Fish.

[@ecbst6]

LOL the auto subtitles said [Applause] on that shot of taking out the AA gun🤣

[@douglasarthur2673]

The Reapers Ballet on the runway in the dark is the stuff of legend 😂 Also seeing the Mozzies in formation crossing the Channel, it was impossible not to hear the 633 Squadron theme music. Absolutely superb. Bravo 👏🏻

[@frankgunner8967]

These missions must of been a weird mix of excitement and being terrified mad respect to those young lads back in WW2, different breed.

[@grimreapers]

Agreed

[@TheStormpilgrim]

A gelato! Macchiato! A Mosquito! A Dorito! Yeah!...(guitar solo)

[@nickjoy8868]

One of the very best missions flown by Supercap and the boys in my opinion. Far from sure about taking off en masse from an unlit runway in full dark..... even in wartime that's just inviting in The Grim Reaper to harvest grim reapers. What I really want to see is Cap and GR in Lancs flying at 100ft cross country to the Moehne dam, yeah I know there's no Lanc flight model yet- surely someone somewhere has the time and ability to mod one?! But I live in hope. Thanks guys, top notch efforts there today 😀

[@polarman5k]

That would be cool with manned gun stations too

[@Pablo668]

I cannot imagine how draining it would have been flying one of these old planes IFR for hours. An added complication being people trying to kill you while you were at it. Accidents while taking off and at landings were quite common. This is still the most homoerotic flight sim channel on YT.

[@making_randoms]

The mossie has always been my favorite WWII aircraft, and will be forever more

[@lordorion5776]

i perfer dogfighting aircraft like the mustang more then ground attack like the mossie

[@making_randoms]

@@lordorion5776 OK. But there were recorded incidents when mossies carried out bombing raids then successfully carried out fighter escort dogfighting on the way home

[@oliabid-price4517]

The Mossie was everything - the very first true multirole combat aircraft. Follow The People's Mosquito to support the first one to be built in the UK for over 70 years.

[@wbertie2604]

Mosquito and Tempest for me.

[@petertyson4022]

That was fun and exciting to watch. Especially in the beginning. I wonder if they panicked like cap at night back then. Lol. That was good to watch.

[@RedTSquared]

All I can say is that Take-Off was some cheek clenching stuff!!! Nicely done GR, this was a great mission to watch! I hope you all had half as much fun flying it as I did watching it!

I love you guys!

[@kenbrown9773]

Gotta love KZbin compression. I see a gauge cluster and a black window with no white dots (once you take off) with Cap saying he can't find anyone. Then, after exactly, and I quote, "nothing" on my screen changes, Cap says he found them. He zooms the camera in for 1 second and we see like.... 1 white dot off in the distance.

[@grimreapers]

Yeh dark missions just don't work with YT.

[@bloodreno]

44:34 is why I even watch

[@grimreapers]

Meh, within 10 miles good enough.

[@deemas6585]

Holy hell Cap is high maintenance. Kudos to everyone that’s able to put up with him!

[@grimreapers]

My wife agrees.

[@fatsbaloni]

Thanks!

[@grimreapers]

Thanks :)

[@place_there9104]

I can only imagine night after night having to intercept RAF bomber raids in a Heinkel night fighter being this chaotic, confusing, and terrifying.

[@kurzyorze7586]

This video is like final episodes of GoT. Splendid job mate

[@abugina]

At 34:10 Cap " I see France! I see France" France: " And we see you!!" Cap:" OMG! Do something!!" :-D

[@frenchroast1355]

Turn the flashlight off, Cap! You're killing your night vision

[@mcsupersport]

25 minutes in, and Flying combat into enemy space and they still have their wing lights on.....

[@madaxe606]

This might be one of my favourite GR vids ever.

Luv watching "Cap" becoming unglued EVERY SINGLE mission...

[@Istandby666]

Cap, when you go flying again. Ask the pilot to give you instrument reading only. You need to learn to read your flight instruments. This is IFR flying.

[@johnm4608]

Hey Cap, love the channel. I know you've been struggling with the algorithm in recent times. I noticed that you get lots of view on your big naval battles, current affairs set pieces and re-imagined historical battles. The rest of the content gets much lower views. I suspect that the algorithm is punishing you for this mix(by popularity) of content. I suspect this channel would do much better without mixing the content (by popularity). It might be worth keeping the main channel for big, set piece battles that will get lots of views and moving the more niche content to the GR2 channel. Wishing you all the best and congrats on the new baby.

[@grimreapers]

Thanks John, got a million cool ideas, but zero time at moment. Hope baby settles in soon.

[@jdickson1234]

Talk about instrument (analog) flying

[@tylerm7591]

Would be nice to walk around the runway the day before to get an idea of what your airbase looks like, maybe even have a cup of coffee. xD

[@wbertie2604]

Official WW2 protocol for trips low across the sea in Mosquito squadrons (according to Sharp and Bowyer, sadly out of print) was to never fly lower than the leader to avoid flying into the sea. It must have been harder to see the nose in an FB. VI, but presumably less chance of fixating on the leader and flying to the sea. Interestingly, a B.IV may have 'shot down' an FW-190 on a low level mission, possibly with bomb blast.

[@wbertie2604]

The other protocol is for the lead aircraft wave to bomb low level, but the second to pop up and bomb in a shallow dive, which was a little more accurate. Correct bomb fusing was critical. You'd need a minimum of eight aircraft to recreate it, though.

[@elestromusicgamesfun1101]

Nice, more ww2, Korea and Vietnam era fights pls :)

[@holdernewtshesrearin5471]

So...what makes a "night fighter/bomber" a night fighter/bomber? I imagine that night capable aircraft would have lighted and dimmable instrumentation and perhaps landing/takeoff lighting. Are there any other differences?

Bit harsh on your Nav Cap. You are clearly heard stating that you will bomb first and then do rockets on the second pass. Your Nav asks for clarification and you confirm the order a second time.
