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 or even dogfighting in Battlefield 2042, 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.

Am not a sim player so don't know if the Tempest V is in DCS but would love to see you fly that

[@SvenTviking]

There were no “allied” aircraft over Dunkirk, there were RAF aircraft.

[@Joe474Joe]

"He did it, he did it... BOOM" . Optimistic outlook before disaster is so on brand for GS videos. Freaking love it! Great video as usual.

[@Inazuma68]

Thought the same 😆

[@acebone2]

A GS classic is "I don't think they'll be able to pull lead here" SPLAT! Black screen, caption "As it turns out, they were able to pull lead" LOL

[@iehbaer]

First: Thanks GS for your great vids! - Hearing you explaining the rules of engagement is a pleasure. Next: It was me, Nick Name Hill_The_Guard, flyin the P51 at the end of the Video. I’m relatively new to the game and still learning basics. To save my reputation: One main issue of WW2 dogfighting (at least for me) is keeping a good overview. Pointing an enemy without radar, is not easy and once an experienced player gets your tail, the story is about to end fast… See u guys on the Channel😉

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

You did much better than me when I first started. Actually from all the kills I gathered that day (some are not in the video) you were the hardest one. Keep up the good work and you’ll be a feared ace in no time.

[@timsullivan4566]

The Red Baron wants to know your location.

[@imadrifter]

@@GrowlingSidewinder hey gs what are your thoughts on TA-152 and could you do some high level intercepts with her?

Wow, good job. I want to get into DCS one of these days...

[@samsmith6791]

Never land in a field with gears down, it'll kill ya XD

[@Boslandschap1]

Excellent principle to consider primarily flying for the faction that has the least pilots to keep things balanced and therefore more fun for all players. Commendable, though all players should aim to do this.

[@JBASH2011]

Enjoying the return to WWII, and always going to ask for more canvas & wood dogfights too! Thanks GS.

[@OneTimeIAteABagel]

DCS really knocked it out of the park with the DB605 Sounds!

[@hanswolfgangmercer]

4:11 Moments like these are what make the K4 special. Imagine climbing up like that behind a target in any other plane and not just being slow as hell at the end of it.

[@weasle2904]

Allies had planes with the same or better climb rates IIRC.

[@hanswolfgangmercer]

@@weasle2904 Not really. The spitfire can outclimb in the short term but it doesn't retain energy through the maneuver as well.

[@saltydog9321]

what's a k4?

@@illumina4399 109 wasn't well though out, it was just highly developed. The 190? THAT was well thought out. A literal perfect engine cowl, one of the first aircraft to use pushrods.

[@flightswepro]

I really love these ww2 dogfights. It feels so more special

[@laytonlacorte8107]

I think he did it... He did it--*BOOM* I almost cried laughing. Also if I ever get to the point of being able to afford a good enough gaming setup and the time to play DCS, I'm gonna be so terrified of Sidewinder just appearing out of nowhere on my 6 that I'm gonna give myself whiplash checking back there every 10 seconds.

[@Mr_Bedlam215]

Ikr. I'd HOPE his ass is on the same side. Oh and one good way to prevent whiplash is to use mirrors if the plane's got 'em lol

[@robgraham5697]

I'm wondering if that last P51 had his navigation lights on in hope of attracting friendly attention. Or maybe he was new and wasn't even aware he had done it. Also, as I recall, in WWII about 75% of fighter pilots knocked down never saw who did it. Anyway fair fights are for suckers.

[@Cowzie_Wowzie]

The 109 doesn't get enough credit ay being such a sexy plane. Raw power.

[@nekomakhea9440]

I've heard that early Mosquitoes didn't have air brakes, so they would drop their gear as dive brakes when dive bombing. If gear down is the "I surrender" sign, would that be like doing a Banzai Charge while carrying a white flag?

[@TheArcticFoxxo]

ah yes, war crimes

[@CaseyBartley]

Not sure on the Mossie but the F4U has a dive setting on it's gear (main gear down, tail wheel up, fairings closed) for dive brakes. Also it's not terribly hard to get your hydraulics shot out, and one or both gear can drop. You see it a ton in period guncam footage.

[@kentwilliams3326]

Thanks for the WWII video. When the P51 exploded just before touching down I literally involuntarily said, " Oh!" Guess I got caught up in the action.

[@narce160th]

these WWII videos are by far my favorite, 109 is my favorite... Couldn't be happier

[@kenhelmers2603]

SO enjoyable to watch! Thanks GS

[@DeusEx1977]

Sneaking up from 6 o'clock low and holding fire until they fill your sights is what got Erich Hartmann his 352 kills.

[@REOGURU]

I've really been enjoying these WWII dogfights! Looking forward to the next one!!

[@michaeldavidson8450]

You need to paint a black tulip on the nose and big green heart on the left side of the cockpit. Because you're that good.

[@bulldog71ss33]

More great stuff. Keep it up, we love the WW2 stuff. Maybe try to get some of your buddies to join you in the next ones.

[@michaelguard9647]

"to kill, or not to kill", indeed, that is the question!

[@gamingandtechnology6913]

YES! WW2 planes are best for dogfights ❤️❤️

[@9NeverNuts9]

Awesome vid. Did not know that thing with the wheels down to show that you surrender. Keep up the awesome work with the videos.

[@eaMCMLXXIX]

What a poor guy at the end... I love your videos with these little stories like this!

[@Aka_-xr5qq]

2:36 - clean-clean shot !

[@slickninjadude9165]

please do more of these, these are really cool!

[@kcmsterpce]

Yeah, if there are lots of Allied aircraft, you should play the other side. Because, you vs. 15 might make an even match!

[@ramonpujals1133]

Eric Hartmann said that in 80% of his kills the opponent didnt see him until he fired

[@BigRed999]

Nice - I'd love to fly as your wingman

[@BlackMasterRoshi]

Gotta love people who balance the teams. even if its a pitched battle some times you've just gotta play the underdog

[@calvinmaestro3400]

Do one where you fly as deep into England as you can. Will be interesting to see how far you can fly into enemy territory.

[@FredrikDA]

The WW2 stuff is great, keep up the good content GS!

[@Bigfoot-ju9ws]

Your videos are STELLAR - THANKS!

[@Informed104]

Great video. You've got my vote for WWII encounters any day, all day long. And the Korea gun fights are intriguing, as well. For some reason, the missile fights with later, newer aircraft are only slightly interesting. But, that's just me. Thanks!

[@gunschel]

Nav lights on usually means you want friendlies to spot the dogfight and come in for help.

[@thinbluelinelife]

Very enjoyable to watch, thanks.

[@philippbehrend5559]

love the 109 vids, my favorite plane, G10 is my favorite variant.

[@15RabauKe838]

These Sounds man.. they just make me happy

[@bartdebruijn4599]

It's easier to take off when setting the prop pitch to 12:00 and take the throttle no further than 1.3 ATA. Once off the ground, raise gear, engage automatic prop pitch, throttle up to 1.45 ATA.

[@marauder5436]

Hey Dude, always been a fan of the channel and have been following you since 2017... Any chance you can do a p51 vs 109 video and get into the nitty gritty of the details? I have yet to find any quality videos on how to best beat the K4 at the merge with a P51. Keep the content coming man... The account has grown massively... OTW to 500k..

[@bezimienny_andzej6425]

What is your plane armed with? Sounds like MK108, but the tiny explosions indicate it's MG151/20 at best. MK108 should basically 1-shot Spitfires, 1-shot tail/wing removal were the british test results of MK108 (wing hit didn't remove the wing, because the plane was stationary, but it was deemed structurally and aerodynamically lethal by the experts) vs Spit. Also the explosion should be pretty substantial, MK108 carries over 100g of TNT equivalent.

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

ya ED has a lot to fix with the MK108.
