Spitfire - Bomber Interception
This one might be a bit more for entertainment than education. I attack four armed bombers, dodging their gunfire while landing speedy, almost spiteful blows when the opportunity presented itself. Then I abandon all pretense of instruction, and basically just chortle smugly as the damage eventually takes its toll, setting one on fire, emptying the fuel of another, and prompting an odd mass suicide from the crew of the third.
I let the fourth one go, confident that even in its damaged state, it would reach its airbase, and ended the video. The crew did survive, but only by blind luck. Attempting an emergency landing in a field, its fuselage slipped neatly between two trees, but its wings did not, and remained with the trees while what was left of the plane tobogganed across two more fields, between a few more trees, and came gently to rest by a babbling brook. Kind of wish I'd kept recording, but at least I grabbed a screenshot of it for the title card.

Spitfire - Compass Addendum

So, I forgot to mention the P8 compass in the first video, and rather than re-record that 30-minute session, I'm just uploading this addendum. This video is part of a playlist meant to help Spitfire pilots: ua-cam.com/play/PL7pn4rQD0F5aXFllJr5V86M9_GCPTTpoy.html
Spitfire - Aerial Gunnery Practice
Переглядів 1163 роки тому
In this one, we actually get into the combat portion of the sim, with some target practice against unarmed drones. I chose four FW-190A8 Antons, because they're famous for their ability to tank punishment. I've emptied every round I can carry into some of these things without a decisive result, so they're a good choice for aerial gunnery practice. However, in this video, I get a number of lucky...

This is an intro to getting around in the Spitfire, with combat covered in an upcoming video. I've received some supportive, constructive criticism about my mic hissing when I'm not speaking.

NVG usage is covered, as is IT-23 (Shkval display), and interior cockpit lighting. NOTE: At this point in the Open Beta, there are still some glitche...

    Hey, I'm not sure if you still play DCS but these tutorials are great, really enjoying going through them as I learn the Viggen. Such a fun plane. Do you play on any of the big multiplayer servers like Enigmas? If so would you be able to do any videos going through sorties that the Viggen can do well at on these servers? I'm trying out enigmas at the moment but I find myself limited to mostly mavericks because creating flightplans on multiplayer servers feels a bit fiddly. I'd love to be able to mix between the RB15s and M71s and feel like I'm actually contributing

    Yet again mate, another excellent vid , albeit with only 2 braincells in working order I'll probably watch this at least 3 times lol. going off tangent a little, do you have deadzone / curves on pitch , roll, rudders ?, I have the warthog system and find that i just cannot get the a/c to run straight while taxiing, and while in the air I always seem to be side slipping even when the trim is dead level. any advice greatly appreciated. keep up the good work mate.👍

      Thanks! I do have some pretty heavy rudder curves on the Viggen, I think it’s in the low 20s. There’s also a bind for centering the roll trim, maybe give that a few taps to make sure accidental roll trim isn’t the issue.

  • @brennab2697
    @brennab2697 Рік тому

    Bizarre question, under normal operations in real life after they fire all of the rockets and a rocket pod is it typical for them to jettison the rocket pod immediately or do they like to take that back to base 99% of the time to reuse it and save money.

    • @Viking355th
      @Viking355th Рік тому

      Those launch pods do cost money, and supply may be limited. IRL, if you dump them without explicit prior permission, you need a good reason, like "an enemy was coming up behind me, and I needed all the speed I could get, in order to escape."

    B1 = Brytpunkt 1 (breakpoint 1), where you break your course to the new one. M4 = Mål 4, simply the Swedish word for Target 4. Tad confusing in Google translate, as "mål" also has the meanings of "goal" and "meal", and in archaic form also speech (mål i mun, lit. speech in the mouth)/ language (främmande tungomål, foreign languages spoken).

      I'd consider it if they fixed the guns, but right now, you can can shoot yourself in the face under certain circumstances, because the muzzle velocity of the rounds is so low that you can catch up to them after they've been fired. This also causes inaccuracy with the gunsight, because the sight is expecting the correct muzzle velocity.
