I never doubted it was real until I scrolled down. I only thought the images had been cropped to make encounters look closer and more dramatic than they really were. It's very impressive work and I don't mind being fooled on this occasion.

I mean yeah ,maybe. However,from the very first video when it got close to plane I immediately realized something wrong here.

[@cdc3]

I think that the music added to this perfectly captures the tragic beauty of the film. Those are men up there trying to kill and not be killed at the same time. It expresses both the insanity of war and it's necessity to keep insanity at bay. God help us all...

I knew there was something really odd about this footage. Partial coloring, incredibly bright glare from clouds, canopy coming off the P51 almost perfectly, the weird way the footage transitioned into other footage despite having almost exact same cloud cover, bullet holes on some of the planes were too perfect compared to rest of the shot. Overall it's very well done. Almost believable :D

Best thing I’ll see all month

[@MrsLiederlover]

john kendall: That was a good response and description of air compressibility problems. Readers might know that this was mostly caused by transonic air flow on the tail control surfaces. It's interesting that the DC-9s, MD-88s and B-717s we flew basically had only mechanical control tabs on the elevators. Simple mechanical cables are connected to the yoke and rudder pedals in the cockpits. There is no hydraulic 'boost' required for basic control, and on the rudder, its control tab easily takes over rudder movement if the right hydraulic pressure is lost.

[@stukaman1162]

That's some pretty nifty shooting right there. And the music is equally spooky....

[@harvhoward6423]

Perhaps it has been noted in this video, but in one segment a German ME-262 being shot down with the pilot bailing. That has got to be one classical piece of film! A few years ago i witnessed the (supposedly) the only one remaining flying at the Houston air show.

[@garudalead]

I thought this was real till i read the description. Good job, the film grain was good, the only thing to make it better and i doubt its something you can control but the tracers were too high quality, in all guncam footage ive seen the tracets were really wobbly, othetwise its damn near perfect.

[@tobysilverstone5297]

another awsome video renzic. really loving these. how were the basic clips recorded? you running a bunch of quick missions or a campaign? two things. firstly the me262 footage was awsome so nice to see it addded. secondly have you thought about doing one of these but with a ground attack?

[@Renzic]

These are indeed quick missions set-up for specific shots. Like the He111 squad, a lone escort like the Me-262, Allied plane being shotdown. I will be making polls in a few videos where you will be able to vote what kind of guncam scenario you'd like to see. Last poll showed that a lot of people wanted to see the P-51 vs air targets. But ground attacks can definitely be part of these videos!

[@chrishall6451]

@@Renzic That was awesome. You had me fooled...but i was wondering why the ME-262 was burning in the rear and not the engines, which tended to explode anyways. I was crious how he got shot down in the first place! Until I started reading the comments I was still thinking it was real.

[@beat89widmer26]

Cool video, but back then the cameras on the fighter aircraft were set up to only shoot film while the guns were firing. I'm not sure if that was due to limitations in there film technology or just to save film while confirming a kill. That's why the gun cam videos were always short.

[@Renzic]

I heard about that not so long ago. I got the filter how I want it to be. Only thing left for me to do is create shorter and realistic scenarios!

[@beat89widmer26]

“Great video anyway:) On your next vid may I suggest, using tracers while diving down on a bomber formation. There is a short ww2 gun cam vid of a spitfire doing just that to a formation of He111’s.

[@clonexx]

This is incredible. Think about the flying skill it takes to do this. They didn’t have the luxury of simulations, any computers or any other assistance. Just a few gauges and some big guns in the wings. Is this footage zoomed in? Because if not, he got really close to some of those planes. Too close honestly, so I’m thinking it’s zoomed in some.

[@Falkriim]

Impressively enough this footage is taken from IL-2 which is a game, the author has just edited in a VERY authentic looking way, think he uses his phone to record the screen and then adds more effects in editing. Very impressive work nonetheless and your point still stands.

[@clonexx]

@@Falkriim Thanks for the info. Unfortunate that it’s not authentic footage, but I imagine it is very much like what those pilots went through. Still took incredible skill and feats of flying to take down the enemy and make it back alive, for sure.

[@OakInch]

Pretty cool. I was fooled until the P 51s did their initial attack and the first two ended up smoking. That was classic IL2. If you cut that part out I probably would have been fooled longer. Also, straight into the six like that is not how they trained fighter pilots to attack bombers. There are some cool tactical videos from WW2 pilot training classes on youtube that might help with realism. They were trained to fly parallel and in front, then turn in and use the nose of the bomber as a swivel point as they swung around back shooting, then dove down and away. Not saying they did that every time, but it is how they avoided getting shot down.

[@Renzic]

Thank you for watching! There are for sure some improvements for the next one
