    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 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.

    As someone who had spent far too much of his life on flight sims in the WW1/WW2 eras: P51's biggest advantage is her speed. Going too slow in a P51 is always a mistake. Big 2 circle fights keeping the Mustang fast, especially if you can put that circle off set a bit because most American plans have amazing energy retention. Personally I tend to think 6 .50cals are better than 1 heavy cannon (the ability to just hose a target is easier than being precise with a bigger gun)

    • @hound83
      @hound83 Рік тому +35

      True. For dogfights probably the 30mm was not the best choice, for me i always have the feeling the 30mm is there for the effect on bigger targets like bombers, its not optimal for fighter engagements....

    Great matchup. I love how the unique howl of the Mustang is recreated as well. That's the subject of a lot of debate over the years... supercharger, radiator, etc. Saw a video from a guy who's restored them and he said it's from the longer gun tubes of the inner most guns (not barrel lengths of the guns themselves, they're all the same of course). As a result, a Helmholtz resonance is formed at certain speeds and angles of attack. Fascinating!

      The mustang in DCS is missing over 200HP! How is it you’re stuck at 61” of manifold pressure when by the time the G6 came out it was running 72” and 75”??? British mustangs ran 81”! So wtf is the DCS devs doing? Let me guess “balance”.

      I also think six 50 cals is a much better armament solution when the pilot needs to fire spontaneously without a guarantee of every hit connecting-you can afford to spray a bit with the 50 cals and see what happens-not so with the 60 rounds of 30 mm.

    GS - According to the movie Redtails - I think if you kill the throttle, pull hard on the stick with full rudder the Mustang will stall and the prop will pull you around quickly. I remember seeing that on the movie and again a pilot from WW2 (The Blue Nosed Bastards of Botany) described the same maneuver. Maybe try that when the K4 is on your tail.

      @left_ventricle Рік тому +9

      Since basically forever. If you search for period climb rate data, P-51Ds normally averaged around 3,000-4,000 (ft/min) when 109s, especially later Gs and K-4, averaged around 4,500-5,000 (ft/min).
      P-51 does have Cd0 advantage but not necessarily a total drag advantage. Also the Cd0 difference depends on the amount of radiator flaps opening, but the more they are open, the more advantage any P-51s will have over any 109s.

    Always struggle flying the P51 - better plane with the attitude but in 1v1 dog fight co-alt, just a hard plane to win a knife fight in.

    They need to come out with a F4U-1 Corsair. Yes, it was better than the Mustang, refer to the testing pitting the two against each other at the Patuxent Naval Airstation testing ground. There is very little information in history regarding the meeting of the Me 109 and what variant of both aircraft being pitted against each other, but the British used the F4U on their aircraft carriers in the Mediterranean.

    Recreate BOLO. F-4, MiG 21, f-105 & SA2. Could also be cool to do a modern day “thud ridge” reenactment? Like f-18s v SA6 or something if the “Nam” era planes aren’t on DCS. Just something about gun engagements or old school missile fighting. It’s up close & personal. Like fly fishing vs bait fishing or something lol. Always love the content. 5:05 moment lmao. Good stuff.

    Hawker Hurricane vs ME-109E-4. The Poles of the 303rd Squadron shot down many 109's during the Battle of Britian while flying Hurricanes so I think it would be a good match up.

    Once you cut the engine to get him to overshoot you will most likely not have enough energy left to do anything with that overshoot (if he goes vertical).

    I actually did not know the P51 struggled so much with the 109(K4) so much. I did notice GS mention the altitude is this the allison engine P51? Wasn't there a Merlin??? Supercharged powered P51 that was much better?

    • @GarldBonkdonk

      P51 receives a lot of attention for reasons that aren't it's dogfighting ability. It has high altitude and long range. It's advantages are sticking with the bombers as escort. Down low, it's usually outclassed by most axis fighters in dogfights. K4 was essentially the peak of the 109 series, and compared favorably to the P51 in all but range. But, by the time the K4 was in production, the Luftwaffles didn't have many experienced pilots left. Much like the Japanese, the equipment was better than the operators could handle at that point. This scenario doesn't keep those in mind, thus the K4 will outperform the P51 in almost all ways.

    Nose down flat scissors against a 109. Rolling scissors is a no go. Also a k4 with mw50 has every advantage over the 51 at these altitudes

    If the Mustang in DCS was given the historical engine manifold pressure of 75” or 72” not 61” (that is CRIMINAL) this fight would go much differently.
