You missed the lower strut being shot through. Your wing was about to fold. Nice timing. I hope you do more Rise of Flight. It's my favorite. Perhaps, another career?

[@jamesrussell7760]

The SE-5a is my favorite Brit fighter of WW1. Holy Moley, Taff! You were a 1-man air force! You had more damage than I thought - top wing as well as the strut. Beautiful landing. Well done!

[@marktaylor4674]

Albert Ball was known to use the tactic of flying up under enemy planes from their blind spot and firing the Lewis straight up into them... He also experimented with mounting guns to fire down and other angles.

[@kevinmottram9491]

As good a game as IL2 is, I do prefer ROF. That was a great landing Taff, probably one of your best ever! And a lucky return home too, looking at the state of that wing!

[@jsmr451]

yes RoF is SOOO much better. Its all I use now.

[@WolfingtonStanley]

At Tangmere Air museum they have a mock up of the SE5 cockpit you can sit in I'm 6foot and 13.5 stone it was cramped, I know they were slightly smaller back then but if you add the flying suit I'm surprised they could fly them at all One thing that caught my eye was a Webley revolver in a holster strapped to the left side of the cockpit The chap who was talking me through the controls and dials said it was because they didn't have parachutes, so rather than crash whilst burning up they just put a bullet through their skull The courage of those men is astounding

[@elguitarTom]

Hands down best flight sim ever created

[@conmcgrath7502]

Nice one Taff. That wing was on it's last legs (struts)! Being able to angle the Lewis gun, what a great idea, not just to attack from below and avoid the tail gunners but also in a turn, smart thinking. Pax

[@tbjtbj7930]

Albert Ball used to do exactly this. Got to get close though

[@kepler186f4]

I always enjoy your videos, with this vid I kept thinking of that line from the film, The Battle of Britain, "Forget the fighters, it's the bombers we're after"

[@nikbear]

ROF is so glorious to watch, and you fly these beautiful planes with such finesse, it really is a joy to see you back in the skies! 👌 I'm really hoping it is the start of many more, thank you Taff 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@mgpreacher7773]

YES !!! PLEASE more Rise of Flight !!!

[@HerbAlpenhorn]

Good to see RoF again. More, please!

[@colindouglas7769]

Good to see some Rise of Flight again, Taff! You had a bit of a rusty start, but as you say, it was your first time flying the SE5a, probably Britain's best fighter of the First World War. Your plane was chewed up a bit worse than you thought. Your port wing strut was loose and it's a wonder your top wing didn't fly off. Fantastic landing in the circumstances and five kills in your back pocket. Well done!

[@mikemontgomery2654]

The SE.5 was a very good aircraft. Been fortunate enough to see a few real ones in my life. Thanks for making a video with one.

[@kevpeters2537]

Hi Taff...as with virtually all the other commenters, I really hope you continue on with the RoF run. We really miss you doing the Let's plays of this glorious WW1 flight sim. Cheers.

[@brotheriii6133]

Yes, your flying the S.E.5a in rise of flight, cool. These are the kind of videos I like to watch.

[@keithwaterhouse2845]

I did enjoy this, I would call it a perfect mission too! You fly this better than the WW2 planes so I hope you continue this as a career.

[@arthurcrego8297]

Just made my day perfect, thanks Taff loved it

[@Synystr7]

Can you imagine how cold it was up there? JEEEEESUS.

[@whiskeytangosierra6]

I prefer ROF/Flying Circus. In my experience it is a greater test of flying skills that the more modern aircraft. That wing. Lucky you survived.

[@SammySathya]

Taff continue this series please. I love your ROF content. Enjoyed the adventures of that ever loving scoundrel Alfie West RIP.

[@ZooHeretic]

Always enjoy these videos

[@Christian-zj2us]

Fantastic video, and I like the new profile icon as well!!!

[@readingboi9559]

It looks like I'm watching a black and white movie, but only they coloured in the planes.🙂 Great to see this series again taff. Keep up the good work.👍🏼

[@thomashiggins9320]

I like the WWII videos, a lot, but there's just something really satisfying about watching the "flying bird-cages." :)

[@vielplaysdagames2298]

Super good ww1 fighter movie is aces high about a se5 squadron

[@leprekhantar347]

I was starting to miss rise of flight.

[@bluestorm3628]

This takes be back to when he was in an albatross ☺️ God I loved that sires.

[@jameswilliams1085]

Love It!!!!

[@Arsenic71]

I'm a simple man. I see a new video from Taff, I click like. Great video, thanks!!

[@foreverpinkf.7603]

Difficult to choose what gunsight is the right one, isn´t it? Good fight and good landing. Please do more with RoF.

[@MIKE-se8ye]

Well Done!

[@LawrenceSeetoh]

nicely done TAff

[@johngulyas695]

YES!!!!

[@johnclarke2553]

Great sortie! No blip awitch on the SE5a, as it had a liquid-cooled inline V8. The rotary-engined aircraft had the blip switch.

[@djporsche3922]

i pressume you meant the I8 or the inline 8 not the inline V8 and by rotary you meant radial

[@djporsche3922]

although it would be cool to see a rotary plane

[@johnclarke2553]

@@djporsche3922 No, I meant what I said. The SE5a had an inline V8, and aircraft like the Camel, Pup, Fokker Dr1 had rotary engines. "The rotary engine is an early type of internal combustion engine, usually designed with an odd number of cylinders per row in a radial configuration, in which the crankshaft remained stationary in operation, with the entire crankcase and its attached cylinders rotating around it as a unit. Its main application was in aviation, although it also saw use before its primary aviation role, in a few early motorcycles and automobiles. This type of engine was widely used as an alternative to conventional inline engines (straight or V) during World War I and the years immediately preceding that conflict. It has been described as "a very efficient solution to the problems of power output, weight, and reliability". By the early 1920s, the inherent limitations of this type of engine had rendered it obsolete."

[@djporsche3922]

@@johnclarke2553 straight means inline and the v configuration is different of inlines and rotary nowadays is the engine used in rx7 or rx8 and has nothing to do with radials or aircrafts. I am a car enthusiast and have read a lot of this stuff and believe me people get them wrong all the time.

[@johnclarke2553]

@@djporsche3922 As have you, obviously.

[@emmanuellengagne6188]

Happy to see new video on Rise of Flight Any chance to see a new campaign soon ? Wish to see a french career : too many British and German already existing, and the french is also more challenging as only 1 machine gun on your plane ;)

[@Vahryk]

Have really missed your ROF! Thank you, more! BTW... do u use VR or trackIr?

[@harryzero1566]

On IL2 I fly biplane battles against Gloster gladiators using a biplane of similar age, but has retractable undercarriage, rockets and cannons. Amazing fun, the gladiators have much more powerful engines, faster rate of climb but not quite so agile, air to air missile attacks ar very impressive. AND a great last resort when your trying to land a damaged aircraft or your cannons have jammed.

[@theotterguy]

Gloster

[@harryzero1566]

@@theotterguy Thanks, I stand corrected, edited accordingly.

[@ChainsawChuck13]

I knew as soon as those fighters showed up without any bombers that they were running some sort of interference

[@willgnue2240]

Very lucky you bugged out when you did, one more tight turn may have been your last. Watched and 👍 Liked

[@RemusKingOfRome]

Good mission.

[@jonass1969]

ROF looks incredibly smooth compared ot IL-2 FC I+II, and I do have 150+ fps with max graphics in that. ROF looks like melted butter with almost the same level of graphical fidelity imho. It is just that VR is lacking which is a major bumer. Great video Taff, tnx🙏

[@torstenwinkler8610]

New ROF career would be splendind! :)

[@Clownfish1138]

Ok. knowing how deadly the rear gunners are in this game I was a little worried...Nice job though, and nice to see you on ROF!

[@samwisesammingtonss5488]

Did that first engagement contact pull the fingers at Taff? Haha. Someones not happy with the channel direction... Lucky you can blast him to smithereens

[@MrHistoryguy1955]

How did you switch to the different camera views while flying. Like during a dogfight it switches to the enemy aircraft while your still inside the cockpit how did you do it? Great video btw!

[@EpicJoshua314]

Back playing Rise of Flight! Yippee!!

[@OdeeOz]

3:26 Did that Kraut give you the finger?

[@metaphyzikal1]

Aircraft in World War 1 were so flimsy, canvas stretched over wood....amazing that men flew them in combat really...brave souls indeed.

[@scottoneill7258]

you let the fighters lead you away from the bombers!

[@jwrockets]

Best landing ever.

[@BunialskiTrip]

I've got VR G2 hp and play DCS and Il2 should I buy Flying Circus? Is there a decent player base?

[@heavydecibel]

How do you keep your TrackIR so steady?

[@pgmetcalf]

SE5, great aircraft but I always thought underarmed

[@jamesfranklin5541]

not bad friend.

[@wideyxyz2271]

Anyone else notice his shot away strut on his bottom port wing? 18:30 I wouldn't be pulling any tight manoeuvres with a wing strut like that!

[@johngulyas695]

Firing your Lewis Gun from below? How very Albert Ball of you, Taff!

[@djporsche3922]

so was it the british who first invented the schrage musik?

[@Simon-ex5ek]

how much is this to buy

[@comesahorseman]

Love the S.E 5! It is less of a turn fighter & more of a boom-and-zoomer. Thanks! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@welshpete12]

Twice you had that Albatross, with a very good lead in front of him ! Why didn't you shoot ? Poor reaction times !!

[@OdeeOz]

Best WW1 Flight Sim ever ... Until iL2 bought them out/off. 👍👍 10⭐ Countless🏆

[@MouldedSalad]

Slightly rusty but always entertaining. 👍

[@Kapitananime]

WHY are there no Zeppelins in ROF?

[@Cryshalo]

Great flying, great shooting. Loved seeing the wild furballs erupting.

[@odonovan]

I love how, no matter how fast the plane is falling, one wing on one side ALWAYS stays attached. Speaking of wings, how dafuq did that SE5a's wing stay on with one strut broken and the structural damage? Now, to the REAL question. How could those two-seaters be bombers when NONE of them were carrying bombs, not even at the very beginning of the video?

[@foreverpinkf.7603]

Hand released bombs inside the plane, maybe?

[@colindouglas7769]

I do believe the bombs in those days rather than being carried below the wings or in a bomb bay as in WW2, they were carried strapped to the side of the fuselage by the cockpit facing downward and dropped via a primitive release mechanism operated manually by either the pilot or more likely the observer/rear gunner looking over the side. No real way of aiming the bomb accurately, it was just a matter of dropping and hoping you hit something worthwhile.

[@a_random_jonny6424]

Does anyone find that you can't make a new career in ROF anymore?

[@billrivenbark8983]

Waiting too late to fire

[@AP-514]

Shoot Early man..way better than shooting Late and way behind....

[@colindouglas7769]

Erm, loosen up, fella! He did start a bit rusty, I grant you, but he did end up getting five kills in that sortie! A good day's work, I'd say!

INSTEAD OF REAL VIDEO...WE GET CARTOONS NOW FOR EVERYTHING....
