@@Vade 😀 i was thinking your approach to aerial combat is very un-top gun like. I assume your are using German/ Hartmann philosophy and i think i could describe it as a combination of a Hunter on Horseback and a Highway Patrol policeman. There is none of the American charge head on flying into the center of the combat zone guns blazing. I could be wrong. But then again is it the difference between 30 and 352?
@@CalebNorthNorman I would say you're right. A hunter doesn't brawl with his game, you shoot it and be done with it - it's the difference between dead and alive, the 352>30 are a consequence of that.
00:00 Is that a soviet pilot model in the Bf-109? At least the goggles don't look right to me, the Germans used a smaller more streamlined type of goggles, at least the fighter pilots.

you are probably right, there are german goggles shaped like that. Going off photos though, the smaller goggles and mesh helmet were more common with fighter pilots than the combination shown. www.themilitarycampaign.co.uk/product/luftwaffe-lkp-n101-flying-helmet/
Those were some very short engagements, even for my own "Ambush Hunting" taste - Sometimes the 20mm do damage after all! Hope you enjoy!
2nd and last plane shot - what a brilliant feel of the plane, as well as reaction.
Bravo!
God....the Bf 109 is so beautiful...I have no words...
These cats refuse to learn that life is short when you fly straight and level in the combat zone.
What a shot! 5:33
Definitely one of my cooler ones... ;)

Did you have your opponents settings at 'no defense, I'll just sit here and let him shoot me'?

The one ingame is an Auer Modell 295 "Fliegerbrille", i think.

Bravo!
Schön! i16 so hoch? :)
War wohl ziemlich motiviert in der Kiste...
Amazing how a P-40 was able to fly from Africa to Russia. must have lost its way
