This is number 15 in my "Aces" series of videos. I'm flying a P-38J against a Ki-61 "Tony" ace. The Ki-61 pilot was pretty good, and he made me chase him, a lot. He also tried to sucker me into a turn fight on a couple of occasions, but I wasn't havin' it. Because of the time he spent running from me, some of this video is at 2X normal speed.

    Excellent dive out to avoid the shots from the six. Seperate and go head on is a good tactic. Flying back to your wingmen was a winner. The engine sputtering at the end makes a trip back to base quesionable, however in 1942 New Guinea there seemed to be air stips everywhere :)

    • @tomhighway1952
      @tomhighway1952 2 місяці тому

      I was lucky it was a Zero on my six and not a Tony. A P-40 will easily outrun a Zero in a dive, but not so easy with a Tony. During the second head on engagement the bandit hit one of my oil lines. The engine still performed well, but there was so much oil on the windscreen I was having a difficult time seeing in front of me. Because of that, I missed a couple of shots at the number 3 Zero, and my number 7 had to shoot him off my tail. Fortunately we were close to home base, so even if the engine ran out of oil, making it back to the airfield was not a problem. Thanks for watching, and thanks for the positive feed back. :^)

      On the other hand, these two kills seemed to involve a quite small number of hits that nonetheless dismantled those crates. I'd suspect increased ammo effectiveness was enabled. I generally must get rather more hits--actual hits, not just shots fired--to do such destruction. (Been playing this since 2003. ;) )

    Notice how the reflector glass takes on a prominent yellow splotchiness when your plane goes inverted? This phenomenon of the gunsight reflector texture being most apparent when the Sun is shining from underneath (as though the floor/hull is transparent) is a consequence of one or more factors nit fully appreciated by the creator of the sight. In some cases the sight glass goes quite 'milky' and hazy, significantly reducing contrast. Some windscreens suffer similarly, too. The opacity of the texture, its Ambient and Diffuse values in the texture's .mat file and the orientation of the model's surface normals play a role. In my mods to sights and for my new creations I take such factors into consuderation. Then there's no unrealistic enhancement of the glass that could occur only if the Sun could shine upward through the floor. ;) Furthermore, I do add a new element where aporopriate. And that is a reflection of the collimating lens. It dynamically varies in intensity as the angle of the Sunlight changes, being strongest when the Sun shines straight down, directly on the lens.

      Thanks for watching and commenting. One of the points of the "Aces" series was to not have any advantage on either side at the onset. I refrain from shooting at the opponent in the initial merge because I usually take them out immediately, and that makes for dull, short videos. ;^) I actually prefer head on shots when going up against opponents who have a more maneuverable plane than mine. Getting sucked into a turn fight against a more agile opponent usually doesn't end well. You invariably wind up "low and slow", and that is not a good place to be in any of the American planes, especially when going against Japanese planes. American planes aren't that good at turn fighting. Some of them do "okay", if you keep the speed up.

    Anatomy 109K4 low speed and climb advantage. P51 high speed manouvering advantage. It looked like the a.i. pilot was trying to force a flat spin. You held it together long enough to get the victory. Air to air is more than a one circle fight. Well done, thumbs up video.

      Thanks, Douglas, and thanks for watching. I was glad to see the AI pilot got out. He earned some respect. :^)

    i have always liked those early John Wayne P40's with the twin fiftys mounted up front in the nose. The Ki43 is probably the most dangerous plane in the game. staying high an nose up shooting is most likely the best tactic against an ace. Thumbs up video.

    Try to stabilize before firing. You seem to have a habit of sudden movement just when firing, either up or down or left or right. Try not to move suddenly when firing. :D
