Chasing Mustangs - Bf 109 K-4 - IL-2: Great Battles

[@grumpyvaultboy]

"Horse hunt". I prefer "Ponyklatschen" :D

[@wallyknew]

Wow, great dogfighting and some nice kills. The P51 is certainly a slippery customer. The new physics seem to have made this even more a top sim and a different game, I was gritting my teeth as you were greying out. You were working so hard in places there, excellent watch.

The addition of the US planes has really breathed new life into this game! Flying them or shooting them, lots of fun.

[@themuffinman4044]

10:57 was a raw ass line literally got goosebumps "If you want to die mate, I can do this for you" *unloads cannons into the cockpit

[@Atlascm]

Yep, late WWII fighting...just not the most inexperienced German pilots this time around. Good video y'all.

[@thomaszhang3101]

Oh I love this dialogue. Please keep this recording style so I know who said what.

[@f15H8ul8]

really intense action in those first dogfights there!. really great defensies against multiple enemies. very entertaining video!

[@f15H8ul8]

seems like the U.S. has a really good line up of aircraft now with the P-51 ,P-38 and P-47. making for some evenly matched battles. good stuff.

[@HvB_ground_attack]

Nice to see Tuesday back in the game - -

[@akorneev1321]

6.55 very good position for shooting. Nice hit. Destructive power of MK-108

[@bjornriedel9886]

Sheriff mumbles: "Dive away from a 51... and to the deck..." Sheriff was only mildly disappointed. xD

[@andalvernoble5533]

damn man dat was intense, your defensive flying was great, great communication & teamwork too! Look like the map were packed with fighters, there were a lot of American fighters there

[@longbowdt]

That new pilot-fatigue addition seems to really have it's penalties. Nice action video regarding team work /mutual support.

[@momotheelder7124]

is it modelled in the AI as well?

[@Mistjeager]

so around the time you did a double landing. the Luftwaffe March started to play while i was on HOI 4...My game was impressed it seems :D. Great vid ^^

[@benspouse9840]

Great flying! Nice job..

[@glorbusborbus480]

still laughing at the phrase 'horse hunt'

[@dallas88b]

Another excellent video. Thank you again. Any chance you could do something on how to deal with the 262 ? I have been flying LA5FN and now Tempest - but I am frustrated as hell with being shot down by a plane that I never see coming. It seems (looking at replays) its a matter of seconds from a near invisible dot to guns firing.... and if I do see it and dodge it, it overshoots and vanishes in the distance in a few seconds more. If there is no technique to deal with this it would be good to know that too...then I can stop banging my head on the wall.

[@SheriffsSimShack]

I have nothing to add about that. I personally try to ignore Me 262s as long as they don't attack me. I try spot them intime and dodge them. I cant be bothered to try to shoot them down. I have better things to do with my time.

[@dallas88b]

Sheriff's Sim Shack Thanks for your reply man. I ain’t too interested in trying to hunt them down either....I just want to avoid having the game end instantly by being shot down by them....but I guess there is no answer to this new multiplayer ‘feature’ ... BTW... you still make it look easy mate. Love your videos like this one when your flying with your friends.

[@paulbyrne6532]

This game looks awesome but it also looks bloody hard

[@SheriffsSimShack]

it is hard. But that's at least half of the fun.

Awesome vid. Glad i can throw a couple bucks ur way on patreon. Thanks for the content!

Dude, those hits at 7:00...holy shit good shooting.

[@CrispyTE80]

Wow nice flying. How come your engine could withstand such long phases of emergency power settings? Did you manually adjust prop? Or is it just the Kurfürst? I usually wreck mine doing it for this long. Greeting :)

[@johannmattis4842]

How long does Your MW50 100% Power last? Mine is 2 mins. max.

[@SheriffsSimShack]

its rated for 10mins. But you have to use 100% otherwise the MW50 is not feeding (e.g not 90% or 95%)

[@johannmattis4842]

@@SheriffsSimShack Thanks for the quick Reply! Found the prob in the meantime. Had to switch of auto throttle back. Now the K4 rocks!

[@mechanicplays8135]

Wow really nice fights sheriff. Good stuff as always. Hope to fight with or against you one day ;)

[@miller8097]

7:45 bless you engine

At this point in the war basically all engine could withstand negative Gs for a couple of seconds.

Love the physiological effects. Hate the spotting; feels like War Thunder.

[@derykian6029]

Then you'd hate the spotting irl

[@bernardthefourth]

It is much better for my VR setup. I used to be nearly blind.

[@HobelDcs]

what the spotting is finally what it should be. before that, you just did not see anything and everything went over 10km, it was horrible how would you do it? We need some scaling in games so that we can recognize objects at great distances Otherwise, everything would just be insecure, which is not real

Hell Sheriff...…..you cannot fault the P-38 pilot for being aggressive.....just saying...

Of course not. But wondering in either case. He ate a 30mm and shrugged it off.

[@TrangleC]

This is not meant as criticism, but I have to wonder: Are there no better ways to keep supporting and finding each other? This "I'm over some village."-type of communication seems rather insufficient and I doubt that that was all the real pilots had. Can't you use signal flares?

[@SheriffsSimShack]

You can use signal flares but they ere only visible over certain ranges. So description it has to be mostly

[@TrangleC]

@@SheriffsSimShack Thanks. I suppose you could also use the map grid, but when you have a enemy on your 6, you of course don't have the time to figure out in which grid box you currently are. Really tricky. That probably only leaves one with memorizing the names of villages and maybe even giving names to landmarks like lakes or bigger forests.

[@SheriffsSimShack]

@@TrangleC correct. its a core skill as well to know where you are even in and after a fight.
