Fun fact: in the Intro briefing the commander mentions the Name Pell. May be coincidence but, There is a Korean war movie with F-86's named the Hunters starring Robert Mitchum and Robert Wagner, in which there is a show off Pilot names Pell who is played by Wagner. Nice little Homage to an F-86 War Movie

Apparently you don't need nose gear since it seems to levitate 3 feet off of the ground like some Harry Potter magic trick.

[@FireMissionAlpha]

DCS is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.

[@vincevassallo5385]

Yeah, noticed this too. I guess the game isn't modeled for a nosed in landing. Probably figured that you would just eject over the field like your wingman.

Hands down the best landing I've ever watched. I like to think that you cut off your wingmans emergency landing, and he had to bail into certain death so that you could land.

Well, still that landing was less bouncy than each of Yuri's :-)

[@Wolfpack345]

I think it has a lot to do with the plane :P

[@_tyrannus]

Were your allies still trying to "trail" as you landed what caused this absolute mess? Several other of your wingmen seemed to approach the ground in a cluster at tentatively low speeds and heights.

[@noahpaquet8357]

My grandpa fought in this war... sorta. He was stationed in Japan and climbed a mountain every morning to get to a radar station. He was in charge of detecting the migs coming down the alley.

[@jasonrusso151]

@ 1:14, Great Shot!

[@zhicaofang2354]

This video for me is quite realistic. Jet fighters dogfight is quite a different game from the IL-2 series of propellers aircraft and the pilot sustained much heavier G force to perform even the simple maneuvers. The F-86 is shown as having difficulties outturning and out-climbing the more nimble MiG-15, and the 50 cal machine guns had some hard time punching through the MiG's hull compared to the MiG's 23mm and 30mm guns. But if altitude and speed advantage could be gained early, the F-86 can quite easily catch up with the scared and running MiGs, or escape from the MiG with thrust. The radar gunsight is also a very lethal addition that greatly increased accuracy of the machine gun fire. Was wondering though, there appears to be missle arming device in the F-86 cockpit in this series, would there be a chance to fire a couple of missles in future missions (although historically the first AA missle kill occured after the Korean War)?

[@mikeace7775]

That landing was really something. This would had ended differently if the guy's plane landed on top because that was very close.... a bit too close for comfort

[@MrZazzles94]

That 10:25 kill was a thing of beauty.

[@Boslandschap1]

Nice sortie, I wonder if the damage to your aircraft may have been scripted, especially given that the campaign taught you how to operate your gear manually previously (that was scripted right?). Not that it matters of course, it's all about the experience, not the mechanics after all. I was also wondering, do you know if your team mate that screwed up in the end got out alive?

[@mukiderg2963]

Yay new Hunters Over the Yalu video!

[@artao5]

After watching this video earlier today I was inspired to jump into my Flying Circus campaign in the S.E.5a. after not playing for a few days. Well .... I started ripping the wings off the damn thing again trying to push it too hard -- like an F-86 or Mig-15. .... So thanks for that. LOL The F-86 is one of my favorite fighter planes ever. RE: Mig-15 .. My brother once worked at the Experimental Aircraft Association Museum and grounds in Oshkosh Wisconsin. With "back access" as such, I got to walk around and touch a flyable Mig-15. It was dizzying, being right there. Not just a museum piece. Flyable. They have a flyable F-86 as well, but at the time that one WAS in the museum. They have to rotated them in and out and take the planes out flying now and then or they'll get sad. SO freakin cool!!! ... Plenty of other ridiculously cool planes too. If you ever find yourself in the vicinity of Oshkosh Wisconsin it is WELL worth checking out. They have the world's largest airshow every year IIRC. For that period the airport also becomes the busiest in the world. ... I'm freakin 3 hrs away from Oshkosh and the air traffic is quite noticeable. Often see some pretty sweet old birds tho at relatively low altitudes.

[@jonathanstein1783]

I used to volunteer at Planes Of Fame, Chino, CA. They have flying examples of both the MiG 15 and the F-86 Sabre. I loved watching them fly mock dogfights against one another!

[@jilthunder2276]

Great job! I also did not realize that you were hit a single time...

[@e.kent.d9561]

[@RoderikPlas]

[@Gauntlet1212]

How you identify planes so quickly from a glance is a miracle to me. Think I really need a larger monitor.

[@ToreDL87]

Simple, yellow ring around mid part of fuseleage = Sabre. Red ring around nose = Mig 15. If you got a high aspect view = Rounded vs edged wing tips is a tell-tale sign too. Black smoke is a pretty good give away too, those Klimov's have a penchant for burning pretty rough.

[@TheJudge2017]

I am a day late and 2 episodes behind but here we go Mikhail Antonov Diary Well, another sad day for the Squadron. Leader took us up to face down 2 dozen enemy Sabres, and they were good. I got hits on on of the Sabers and noticed parts fall off the plane along with him leaking some kind of fluid. Unknown if he has gone down since, or is back across the south Korean border as I was almost immediately jumped by a Sabre. I have been told american guns do not hurt as much as ours. They seem to hurt alot when the tracers are going overhead. I truly understand why dad refused to talk about his bad days of being shot down by the Nazis. Total kills 3 Missions flown 7

[@georgebourdage8897]

You put on a great vid. Remember your 6. LoL

[@thefunnyguyfromtheburgerki3334]

It was probably lower caliber flak from the airfield or Maybe even friendly fire from when that F86 shot over your shoulder. NS23 and NS37s don't put holes in tailpipes, they just outright remove them. If it was a MiG, you would DEFINITELY have noticed.

[@Wolfpack345]

According to the track it was a Mig that got a lucky snapshot on me. Almost certainly a 23mm

[@Colaris99]

I'm amazed that jet fighters still had dog-fights back then like WW2 planes.

[@herrakaarme]

There's nothing else they could do. Homing missiles were still on the drawing board, with only prototypes useless in combat in actual existence.

No landing gear and random explosions in the background? Another Wolfpack™ Landing!

[@jamesgriffiths7588]

Don't mind the requests to play War Thunder, it's a bottomless pit that will swallow you whole if you give it a chance. It's somewhat fun but Sim looks way more interesting and you get to do the story elements of play through's which is one of the best aspects of your content. A sponsored vid here and there is great for you as a creator, but please don't let it grab you XD I'm trying to get into sim but don't have the money to buy a setup at the moment. Would you be able to give any recommendations? Keep up the great work!

[@Wolfpack345]

Right now the joystick market is pretty darn bad. I would recommend the Thrusmaster T16000. I used it for a long time and it works well. It also has a throttle that you can purchase separately or in a pack that is very good too

You think that was caused by an enemy mig? I think it was caused by Pells singing.

[@sd501st5]

Heeey, where did that rear fuselage/tail damage come from? There were no hits on your plane in the video as far as I can tell. And 37mm or 23mm impacts are not something you just "miss"... they will get your attention. o_O Easiest way to tell them apart is to watch for the smoke. Is the guy you're looking at trailing a thin black smoke? That's a Sabre. If he doesn't, BREAK! Kinda funny, after the Sabre's and MiG-17's the "black smoke trail" is mostly found on the Soviet design's, not so much on the US ones. MiG-21, MiG-23, MiG-29... they all look like they are running on Volkswagen Diesel engines if they aren't using the afterburner.

[@herrlogan17]

Good kills! I really struggle fighting 15s with the poor sabre armament. Always ending with few hits from the 37mm cannon :(

[@tankermottind]

Too bad the USAF didn't get the FJ-2 Fury instead of the F-86. Four 20mm? Yes please!

[@MyVikinglife]

Shame the game didn't render you crash landing. Loads of bits flying off and sparks would have been fun to watch. :)

[@SueBobChicVid]

I wonder if the first MIG you shot down didn't get a a couple of rounds off as you passed him. I was saying while watching, "Don't shoot past him and get in front of his nose!!"

[@hughbie7]

Lol...what happened to your teammate? You hogging the runway so he had to eject 🤣

[@lhiannonshee]

So apparently in the Korean conflict, a fighter sweep meant that you would need a broom to clean up all the damned fighters. 24 Sabres sortie? I'm sure the Migs were not excited to see that....

[@Wolfpack345]

The switch was set to "utility" when I was over the Airfield. I was hit by a mig 15 at the very start of the engagement.

[@matthewcaughey8898]

Actually Wolf I’m a bit late here but I think I know what happened to you there. You definitely weren’t hit by a MiG of that I’m certain. The MiG is armed with a pair of 23mm cannons and a 37mm cannon, there’s no way you wouldn’t have noticed that. Had a MiG hit you the damage would have likely been catastrophic, requiring you to pull out of the fight and either try to make for the ocean in hopes of a USN pickup or limp far enough over friendly territory to where SAR assets could pick you up. Those 23s would have done far more damage and that 37 would have been a 1 shot. I think you were either hit by friendly fire from one of your own F-86s to where he grazed you slightly, or you were struck by debris from that last MiG you were chasing. Based on the damage I would say debris was a more likely scenario and it just happened to catch your speed brake and managed to rip it off. This explains the loss of fluid as you deployed them unaware anything was wrong and you pumped off all your hydraulic fluid as your damaged side tried to open what wasant there to open. The burn spot just above the missing speed brake also indicated debris strike. Also I think your front wheel did actually fall out but it didn’t render in and didn’t lock.

[@Wolfpack345]

According to the track I was hit by a Mig that shot at me. The front wheel did not fall out according to my instruments.

[@matthewcaughey8898]

@@Wolfpack345 I’ve had DCS do weird stuff like that. And if you were hit by a MiG it looks like he spent the previous night pounding the vodka cause that was the lousiest shot I ever saw. I mean seriously he musta just grazed you. A 23mm cannon if it’s a direct hit will do way more damage then that
