On this channel we like to do a lot of dogfighting most videos are some sort of dogfight between 2 different aircraft as we explore their different capabilities. From time to time I like to dabble in Virtual Reality, I think VR is a great new technology and I love to show that stuff off for the channel from time to time.
If you prefer more up close and personal dogfights consider the IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battle series and experience intense WWII aerial combat over famous battlefields such as Stalingrad, Moscow, Rhineland and Normandy. Fight in and against Russian, American, German, British warbirds such as the P-51 Mustang, P-47 Thunderbolt, Bf-109, FW-190, Spitfire, Hurricane and rugged IL-2 Sturmovik attack plane. You can also fly legendary SPADS, Fokkers and Camels in WWI dogfights over the trenches of WWI and discover your inner Red Baron! And all of this can be experienced in jaw dropping virtual reality!
If you enjoy war thunder or Microsoft flight simulator 2020, consider getting yourself into Digital Combat Simulator by Eagle Dynamics, the Combat side of Aviation with the BVR and Dogfights really provides a different and interesting perspective on aviation. You can fly all kinds of combat aircraft including the F-16, F-15, F-14, JF-17, Su-27, Mig-29, Mirage and the F-18 Hornet along with many other aircraft and helicopters like the Ka-50 and Mi-8.

Hey I just have a real quick question that doesn’t have to do a lot with the video, I got a PC to fly in Il-2 and DCS, but it’s been crashing, and I wanted to know what are your components in your PC, and maybe if I can, to know what controllers you’re using, pls help

[@Kghost0311]

Thanks for the yak video!!!

[@DPM666]

Love the IL-2 content GS - just wanted to let you know the 1B doesn't have a cannon, just a .50cal. Feels like a canon on this teeny plane though. Keep it up dude! Excited for more WW2 content from you :)

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

@@DPM666 Hi man, please note (from the IL-2 store about the yak1b) Armament: 20mm gun "SsVAK", 140 rounds, 800 rounds per minute and 12.7mm machine gun "UB", 220 rounds, 1000 rounds per minute.

You watch these vids and see GS become an ace in a day and wonder why pilots didn't have 3000 kills....until you watch the end when GS himself gets killed on the same day.

[@BeingFireRetardant]

Probably a lot more common than most people think, specifically on the Eastern Front... Rudel was flying like 15 sorties a day. Every day. For years. That kind of operational tempo gets great stats, and increases the chance to die suddenly almost exponentially.

[@Robert53area]

@@BeingFireRetardant also helps the soviet air force was almost completely gutted by the purge, and everything that at the start of the rebuilding the airforce was mostly destroyed in the first month on the ground. The soviet air force had to build up fast, and they made huge strides in 42 and 43. Everyone always talks about the soviet army. But the soviet air force was massive in 45

A little tip for those interested in playing IL-2 Sturmovik themselves: they regularly have big discounts on their site. An option is to buy the base game (Battle of Stalingrad) for full price and then get the expansions when they are discounted.

[@CakePrincessCelestia]

I'd recommend getting Bodenplatte or even Normandy if you can't wait and get the rest on sale (the older ones get the highest discounts and you drop your support cash when getting the latest one that still is WIP with that early access discount). There is no "base game", every single pack works as such. The planes that come with the Premium editions are a great addition as well, so consider getting those instead of just the standard ones. Buying those collector planes afterwards is more expensive.

[@arandomredarmykomrade9529]

this sudden burst of world war era content is a very VERY welcome change. don't quit giving us our tomcat fix though ;)

[@Rabble1narms]

have always been on the fence with VR - but your Il2 videos lately made me pull the trigger and my goodness, theres really nothing like it. I find myself just looking at the scale of the wing for way to long I'm so impressed. Also - side note to all, IL2 is having a huge sale till beg of November, some great deals on everything

[@jcjammer8972]

As requested, pro tip: Try not to fly over the target as the bombs are dropping. 🧐 Really liking the IL 2 stuff. 🤛

[@user-of1mn5vq3j]

Yak-1B is a very strong fighter in the 1942-1943 period in most servers. It carries the Russian team because it’s usually far more numerous than the La-5FN. Good pick.

[@fazzz]

The water effects of rain and clouds on the canopy in VR in this game are sooooooo good.

[@elliott7531]

IL2 is definitely the best WW2 flight sim out there imo. I personally love flying the Hurricane in the Soviet spec with the Shvak cannons. It's definitely an underdog when it comes to speed but I seem to do quite well with it

[@kykevin1179]

Ugh I cannot wait to play this game.

[@GM-fh5jp]

And there you have the vexxing problem of being a fighter pilot. A genuine Ace like GS wreaks havoc on an enemy formation but with one tiny lapse of concentration gets blasted out of the sky by an unseen enemy...and you don't get to respawn :/

[@gaz_3827]

I love the variety of content your making man , maybe try the BF-109 next time.

[@DeltaLimaDelta]

Yep as I have learned so many times in IL2 never go vertical on a 109 it’s no bueno.

[@pajodato]

Il2 is great. I don't know why, I like it more than DCS. It seems more RAW. And those VR thing seems great.

[@kokaito7913]

It has better damage models and VR compatybility. In DCS I only fly mig21 and hornet, but enjoy every plane in IL2.

[@Hy93Ri0n]

Man you have an uncanny ability to get pilot sniped. It feels like it happens 3 out of every 4 times you get shot down lol

[@kokaito7913]

Ikr. When I get shot with 30mm in a canopy, I can fly back to base with relative ease. GS on the other hand is a magnet for lead.

[@alleygh0st]

Happens to me a lot in my old IL-2 PF

[@MM-kv8ly]

Great ending!

[@saulekaravirs6585]

You got to get the Yak-9T with the 37mm cannon. It's an amazing flyer and has a giant cannon. Just single tap 109s and 190s out of the air with 37mm HE. If you can get a direct rear aspect hit on the tail feathers of an He111 you can take it out in one hit too. That's more fun than shooting the engines lol.

[@palker4]

the battlefield 1942 music fits the ww2 content perfectly

[@dstavs]

“Dear Mrs. Sidewinderkova. The Soviet high command regrets to inform you that your husband, comrade Cpt. G. Sidewinderkov, was killed in action in the skies over German occupied Russia. He fought valiantly, dispatching several enemy planes of the fascists dogs before giving his life on behalf of the great Soviet people. Please accept the Hero of the Soviet Union, awarded posthumously, on behalf of the late comrade Cpt. G. Sidewinderkov. The people of the Soviet Union are truly grateful for his sacrifice.”
