I was lucky enough to spend some time with an A.C. ace when I was a kid. Don't remember what he said he flew, or his full name, but I remember him saying that speed is life over and over again. And move weird, make it hard to predict. Watch what other people do, then do anything but that and counter them a few steps ahead. Have 4 plans for every action. Unfortunately, he was on his way out when I was still very young, I would love to have learned from him as an adult.

[@ret7army]

Not sure how DCS models the flight characteristics of various aircraft. Per Robert Johnson, 2nd highest scoring P47 American ace in ETO, He could roll fast enough that German pilots would think he had turned inside them. Also the 'paddle bladed' propeller enabled him to climb with any other European aircraft such as the Spitfire Mk9.

[@Mike_Romeo]

Well to be fair, most Luftwaffe pilots in 1944 were not very skillfull.

[@paulafernandagonzalezgutie9088]

Apparently the 30 mm of the Bf is reinforced by adolfium, because it took you longer time to kill the P-47 with the A-10 LOL

[@Schnittertm1]

Or it just has more HE-filler than the A-10's 30mm. The German 30mm Minengeschoss, depending on the Ausf. used, had between 72-85 grams of HE filler, while the GAU-8's 30mm HE shell only has 58g of filler. I believe that this difference may have to do with the intended use (bomber killing vs multi-purpose) of the specific shells and possibly also the gun they are shot out off (less rate of fire might mean a more fragile shell could be used?).

[@guaporeturns9472]

Also depends on the location of the hits.

[@b_n_z2929]

based on the low velocity of the Mk.108 the round loft really high compared to the machine guns to get to your targeting distance, so when youre inside the targeting distance aiming lower then you expect will usually help get hits with the 30mm.

[@b_n_z2929]

i havent played any PVP in props so im not sure it the gun convergence is also targeted vertically, so take this with a grain of salt

[@LosBerkos]

[@SootHead]

@@twg2118 I guess. Nothing like dying repeatedly to improve your skills. Still, a good pilot needs to maintain his basic skills and flying against schmoes doesn't do that (necessarily). I was once an off-road driving instructor. I learned that drivers in all the built up 4x4s, where the technology was doing all the work, got very rusty with the basic skills. Assuming they had them in the first place... some guys just wrote a check for bragging rights rather than earn them with skill. Anyway, it was both humbling and instructive to wheel with stock or near stock equipment at least occasionally. A good driver can put on an impressive show with stock equipment versus a mediocre driver the better gear. That's a scenario where bragging rights are earned.

[@Rhinozherous]

Can you do a video on how to manage Engine RPM and Manifold in combat situations? In terms of prop aircraft I come from the direction of civilian aircraft where you need to set certain parameters for prop and manifold for flying. In DCS WWII videos it always seems there is no fiddling with the engine at all...

[@mobius7089]

For the 109s and 190s, it's all done by the engine computer. You get control of throttle, cowl radiator flaps if you want, and manual prop pitch if you want by disabling the governor.

[@DroneChannelUSA]

just use the manifold inverter while enabling prop mixture to decrease and you're good to go!

[@MaverickCulp]

There’s a ton of management in the P-47, and some in the P-51 and Spitfire. The Germans had most of their engine management automated, so you really only have to worry about the throttle unless something gets damaged.

German mk108 30mm has short barrel and small shell velocity. It's trajectory is very curved with a bit of spread circle when it leaves barrel. That's why you have problem with hitting. Mg151/20mm shells are much faster with flat trajectory so it is more precise and accurate,with low spread. Like in old Il2:1946;-)

Beat way to deal with american aircraft coming from a superior energy state is to avoid their nose whichever way you can until they are going approximately the same speed as u than start a spiral climb. German aircraft have amazing climb rate but climbing straight isn’t enough to avoid their nose. To counter spitfires u can simply dive, spitfire wings break more easily than 109s, if the spitfire is still in the fight after u dive just use the vertical and repeat because 109s have better energy retention.
