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.

4:39 - watching you put a 37mm shell through that truck's windshield and seeing the two guys in the cab just start walking away reminds me of a Russian dashcam video I saw awhile ago wherein a truck driver had his cab ripped open by another vehicle and he just walks out of the debris with no worries.

That’s crazy with a Stuka, you’re flying it like a fighter!

[@MrDino1953]

You can take the pilot out of the fighter, but not the fighter out of the pilot…or something like that.

[@Audfile]

I've been an aviation enthusiast my whole life, worked a lot of airshow, flew a lot of small planes, flew every sim available except for the last 10 years. I have learned more about dogfighting from you than any other source! You are masterful. I cant wait to build (buy a premade) PC. Some time before summer. DCS VR, can't hardly wait!

[@ThomasSchick]

Hans-Ulrich Rudel would have been proud of that performance. 👏🏻

[@mathewm7136]

Great video and thanks! Another Cliff Clavin trivia: The Ju-87 and BF109 were the only planes that flew combat missions starting with the Spanish Civil War until the very last day of WW2. And before you jump me - the Spitfire was not committed to combat missions until the evacuation at Dunkirk.

[@echodelta2172]

and the Spit wasn't even close to Spain...

[@mathewm7136]

@@echodelta2172 Technically, the BF109 is the only fighter that flew combat missions on the first day of WW2 (3 Sept, 39 over Poland) until the last day (7 May, 1945).

[@rring44]

If you like the 37s on the stuka for killing planes, use the IL-2 with 23mm HE. It is the perfect plane to kill Stukas with. The stukas with only MGs cant hurt you, but you can hurt them.

[@Robert53area]

Yeah you can, the stukas and unsuspecting bf109s light up like a Christmas tree just knocked down by a cat 😹. My two favorite planes in il2 is the il2 and the la5. The 23mm HE are amazing. I like the la5, because you can outpace bf109s your faster than they are at low altitudes. Don't try to go high with them. But you can out run them, or chase them down if they aren't paying attention. Perfect ambush plane. I really wanna see him bring out the la5 and see what he can do with it.

Or how about the train driver at 6:50 : "Aaargh, there he is! Blow up the train and flee!"

[@Desidiosuss]

I remember in Microsoft Combat Simulator 3 you could fly a Ju-88 with a single 37mm cannon. (It may of been with the FirePower add-on) and it made air-to-ground so much more fun. The ammo was very limited but you could one-shot most ground targets.

[@tomsonlarrson3318]

Third time I flew out the G series, I got jumped by a yak1 on my way out, he overshot and I nailed a single shot into his right wing as he pulled away, was the longest shot I ever landed in IL2. Saw that spar snap like a chicken wing. He pulled up and away to avoid my guns, then leveled out to gain speed back when I was “far enough” away. Wasn’t far enough for a 37mm HE.

[@JonNo86]

I love how the explosions and particle effects just keep getting better and better with each update. I hear a cloud overhaul is next on the list!

[@petersmythe6462]

I'm impressed the IL-2s are withstanding multiple 37mm rounds.

[@pegzounet]

Not just in game stalinium armor. There are pics of IL2s that returned to base with insane amout of arcraft missing (i seem to remember one with a section of the wing being just the main spar, let me see if i can find it again)

[@petersmythe6462]

@@pegzounet Yeah. I'm fairly sure the IL-2 used up so much Stalinium that Stalin himself had to give them more because they weren't making them fast enough. lol Not only did they have armor but a lot of stuff was just able to come off before the thing actually stopped working.

[@jonathanallard2128]

They were called the flying tanks for a reason. IL-2's are well armoured.

Destroyin' the Death Star with Sophit Camel? :D But seriously - could you try La-5 fighter for me? I'm pretty hopeless pilot myself, but with this machine, even I can have fun and score some kills :) It can pull awesome turns, no unexpected flatspins, 20 mm cannons... You in it would be one man airforce :D Cheers!

[@jambutty2218]

My dad says a mate of his at work Saw a Stuka fly down a main road in Manchester England city centre. He could see the pilot it was that low. There was a young girl stood in a shop door way. He watched as the machine gun cut the girl clean in half. Life's a lottery at birth.

[@neilpemberton5523]

For a Stuka to get as far north as Manchester without being shot down by a Hurri or Spit is a feat in itself.

[@kristofnagy5829]

As a pilot, I used to do oil pipeline survey with a C-182. It is not a Stuka of course, but this video brings back some memories of good old times :D It was the best job ever.

The real 37mm cannons only held 12 rounds in each gun. 12 per pod or 24 rounds for each flight. That is assuming that there wasn't a jam or failure to feed.

[@oceanhome2023]

There aren’t a lot notes but Rudel had a lot of influence creating the Kanonvogel concept as he was able to penetrate the tank roofs and engine compartments using just the 20mm . The Kraut 20mm was the best of the war especially how they were able to put almost twice the amount of explosive in their 20mm shells the 37 mm improved on that with a muzzle velocity unmatched ! Shooting almost straight down as dive on a victim adds greatly to the lethality and accuracy of this weapon. You only have 24 shots a mission but Rudel made them count taking out 4 tanks on one mission more than once . He would also be able to do 3 and 4 missions a day. When he switched over to the FW 190 he was still very effective with the 20mm cannon and the smaller 100KG bombs hitting tanks were devastating . He truly was a born tank killer !

[@mower2008]

What is that mini-protractor on the right side of the canopy for?

[@reedaircraftvideos9466]

a visual aid for the pilot when dive bombing, helps the pilot quickly determine dive angle and helps to determine where the bomb will land

[@mikeromney4712]

Dropping a bomb in a divebomber, unlike in video games, took some practice. Even in a 90° dive angle, the bomb does not fall directly where the crosshair is aimed. The bomb deflector on the lower fuselage pushes the bomb in a balistic curve away from the aircraft at an angle of 10°, as otherwise the bomb would get into the propeller - an thats not good :) The pilots had often a table on his thigh, fastened with a rubber band, with the usual dropping data, on which he had to quickly calculate the lead in his head based on speed and dive angle. The protractor was then used to determine the exact dive angle in relation to the horizon.. As an example: Divebrakes on, siren free - 420 km / h, 80 ° dive angle = ahm....ahm.......2.5 rings over the target ......Hoooothooooot...... Hold it!....Monday - Tuesday - Wednesday - Bomb away........and the little yellow button on the stick full back, until it snaps under the clip....autorecovery is on - wheeeeeee - and darkness..........:) Apparently the horses just ran away with me .....^^
