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, 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. - Ігри

What do you guys think does DCS pacific theatre have potential? what are some things you'd like to see in a pacific theatre scenario in DCS ?
TKS man!!!! TKS to give us beautiful zero!!!!
Would love to support marine beach landings, see battleships shelling islands, see swarms of planes engage in a furball as two carrier groups battle for control of the airspace, fly escort for bomber formations during the island hopping campaign, defend Henderson field lol… so much stuff!
Midway. Not a huge undertaking but would definitely scratch an itch.
My dad was a P51D fighter pilot in the pacific. I remember him saying to me very clearly when I was about 5 years old “Never try and turn with a zero”
And the reason that u exist is because he never did that. Lol
@@GrowlingSidewinder Exactly!
Nice 4c! I miss mine terribly.
I suppose you were never in that situation in the first place though?
@@shermansquires3979 No he was telling me as a kid
Now that you have Zeroes around, perhaps it's time to bring out the Tomcat for a very fair and balanced match-up, as seen in The Final Countdown.
DO IT!
Oh yeah that would be good
DEW IT! DEW IT NOW!
Yep, that classic Final Countdown scene. How many times have I seen it? :) :)
The reality is that it would look the same as this. Slashing runs and climbing away.
Just stunning visuals - the sliding wakes of ships combined with the smoke, splashes from impacts, and island backdrop...it all looks very much like the photos from that era. Great work!
I've always wanted pacific carrier battles. We need some dive bombers.
Yeah, I’m excited to see what comes from this
the idea of 100-150 people re creating the battle of midway makes me giddy
In the meantime il2 1946, despite it's age, has somehow more Pacific content than Eastern theater content, I'd highly recommend it
Gimme Dauntless
@@maxnorris3278 Absolutely!
THIS is the kind of stuff that would make me consider getting into DCS. I used to love war thunder for having something like this, but they opted to leave the immersive historical direction they had originally planned for the cash grabbing arcade game it is today
A-men.
Yesirr
Yesirr
Play Simulator Battles then
@@1ochotnik even SB is a broken mess.
DCS really ought to be going full-bore on Pacific stuff instead of trying to directly compete with Il-2's ETO content. There's a pretty big untapped market for a PTO sim but nobody seems to be interested in developing one yet.
Underrated comment.
There isn't much documentation left on japanese planes, that's why il-2 cancelled the Pacific fighters and went for Bodenplatte instead.
@@augustosantos5564 Didn't know they actually tried to, always thought they decided to do other things first
@@CakePrincessCelestia They got a lot of the American side stuff researched to the point of just needed to make it. The problem is the only real way they could get info that's even remotely accurate is to go through museums that have flying examples. They tried, but were always given a massive number to pay for the info.
Seems like the perfect setting for a P-38. I know they just released the Mosquito but I'm holding out for the Lightning personally.
I agree, I would love to see the P-38
@@marcdavis4509 I wouldn't call turbochargers 'minimal'. It's not about which plane is better, just that they're different. Variety is the spice of life.
How 'bout carrier-based Hellcats.
@@smittywjmj I would argue that the L variant of the P-38 is certainly a better plane than the late model Mosquitos.
@@floydnimrod1826 Um... I would argue definitely not. The late model mosquitos with the 2 stage merlins (not like the one we have in dcs) would eat any p38 alive in level speed, acceleration, dive performance, and turn rate. Not to mention it was a much more versatile aircraft in low level strike, night fighting, etc.
The p38 is still good obviously, but until the very late models it was hampered. Its also a somewhat older design than the mosquito.
Man.. I remember IL2 pacific theater. I modded it to make it as realistic as possible and it got pretty close to this
As a Japanese DCS player, I would love to see the pacific air battle simulated too.
Thank you for a great video as usual GS.
Those less known but really great Japanes fighters (and any other kind of aircrafts) should make sooner or later. I really like the Mitsubishi J2M Raiden (Jack), Kawanishi N1K Shinden series (floatplane Rex and land based N1K2 George), and there were nice twin engine attack / heavy fighter aircrafts too.
@@Cuccos19 I think we will never see those sadly. They usually stick to iconic planes in dcs
@@badgermcbadger1968 only time will tell what will happen. I hope for the best.
@@badgermcbadger1968 not sure I would call the C101 iconic...
I said usually didn't I
Cannot wait for the Corsair!
Yes! Recreate some of the Black Sheep Sqdn. shennanigans.
Corsair🖤💯🖤Yes!
F4U, FG1, F2G (would be bonkers), F6F, F8F, F7F should all be included. I love Corsairs, but below 15,000ft, the F8F was nearly unbeatable in a turning fight.
@@markfrost8745 keep ww2 planes to ww2, leave the late variant Corsairs and Hellcats for Korean theatre
@@parkertang2134 My life wont be complete until there's an F2G in DCS. Doesn't matter if it was late to the war lol
Some of those kills looked exactly like WW2 Gun camera footage so pretty spot on sim
I’d love to see the Hellcats and Corsairs eventually come to DCS. They’re the iconic deadly duo of the Pacific.
Yes!
Boy you just be excited these days😂
With the addition of the Pacific it would be cool to see things like the F4F, F6F, F4U, and P-38 added as well. In a dream scenario you may even see TBFs, SBDs, Helldivers, B-17s, and B-24s.
Hmmm. I am now highly intrigued. Mast height bombing with B-25s and A-20s would be pretty cool.
Multi-crew missions haha
@@briochetressee1676 I'd love to climb inside a ball turret!
@@meanderingmarley3910 That must be sick in VR...
That looks awesome!! They need Hellcats and Wildcats. Looking forward to the next one GS!!
A full Pacific Theatre would be a sight to behold. I’m talking B6N Tenzan, D4Y Judy, A6M7 Zero, Corsair, P-38, Dauntless, etc.
Maybe some long range land-based twin engine planes like the B-26 Marauder and G3M Nell?
That would be badass!
Carrier groups attacking each other from afar using a combined force of fighters, dive-bombers, torpedo bombers, etc.
I personally would love the Pacific theater and associated aircraft to come to DCS. I would really like to fly the Hellcat and the Corsair and take out some Oscars, Bettys, and Zekes.
and a few georges, franks, tojos, and jacks!!
Hey GS! New player to DCS here...been loving the server/scenario you've created. First time getting into a warbird yesterday, managed to secure my first kill today! WAS A F*%^ING BLAST! Thanks for the effort you've put into the server, I've been enjoying the hell out of it!
Hi Jared, great to hear you scored your first kill, congratulations the first is always a big one. And no worries brother its my pleasure just happy to hear you guys are enjoying it.
Grandfather flew SBDs off of the Enterprise with VB-10. Would be awesome if we could get pacific carrier groups and dive bombers one day.
I can't wait to see you in a SPAD going after a Zeppelin...lol
Oh my god, yes. Hellcat: Battle For Leyte Gulf was a favorite sim of mine as a kid. Would absolutely kill for a PT update.
Would love to see the defense of a battle group with a bunch of Val’s or Kate’s inbound.
I'm 3 minutes in and I just know this is the most satisfying video I have every watched on this channel! Can't wait for more! There is just something so unparalleled about hammering down a zero!
I always enjoy your WWII videos but this one is kinda special. My father was in the Navy and was a part of the first troop landing in Guadalcanal. He was a machinist first class and was in charge of keeping the landing craft operational. People do not know the hell those troops endured in the Pacific Theater. My dad spoke highly of Pappy Boyington because of the air cover his squadron provided when no one else would. My dad was one of 19 survivors when a Japanese sub put a torpedo midship of the LST-342 he was on at the time. They were on their way to the Solomon Islands on a secret mission. The stern of the ship sank but the bow floated. My dad was the only crew member left. The bow of the ship was towed in to the island of Tulagi. There are photos on the internet showing what is left of the bow of the LST-342 beached there as of today. I sure would like to see you go after some Zeros with a F4u Corsair. :-)
Just discovered your channel, totally hooked.
Great looking Zekes!! Thanks for the special show!!
Just imagine strapping into an F6F or F4U and merking Zeros, Vals, Kates, and Bettys...
Dude, you're waiting way too long to fire. I interviewed a WWII Naval Aviator some years back, and he told me that they liked to walk their fire onto the targets to get good hits. Remember, you're shooting with .50 BMG, and not a 20mm Vulcan. I cant wait for a Hellcat module.
✌🐸
Tell that to Erich Hartmann
@@jamesshives5679 The armament of his Bf-109 was very different from the P-51. In addition to his machine guns he was firing 20 mm or 30 mm cannon.
@@truthseeker9454 That's true
@@jamesshives5679 But you do make a good point that Hartmann held his fire until he got close to his target. That not only gave him the advantage of close range for better accuracy, it also saved ammo. :^ )
Great vid, as usual. Really liked how you highlight using the better energy management of the Mustang vs the tight turning Zero, using only slashing attacks.
I have to lay in bed with a machine for 4 hours a day now, and so I have not been playing DCS as much as I would like. I am really looking forward to the F4U Corsair.
This video is 2 years old and is this good, I have to check out other of Your vids to see
how much this has changed in 2 years. I think if just this was uploaded to the users
DL area, I would not play anything else. Great Job
Thank u I appreciate you. I hope you’re well soon.
Would love a pacific map for WW2, hellcats, zeros, corsairs, it would be awesome.
The corsair and the map are on the way!
I agree. I am looking forward to Pacific Island campaigns. Your island battle mock-up is very well done.
The A6M didn't have self sealing wing tanks.
Late model A6M5's did starting at the battle of the Philippines in 1944.
Great video! Definitely feels like your deflection shooting has improved considerably compared to some of your older warbirds videos.
Outstanding work, GS! Thank you for putting this together. I hope it was as much fun for you as it was to watch! I also hope you hit 250K subscribers by New Years Eve!
Looks great! I wish Leatherneck Simulations would get the F4U wrapped up so I can go after some zeros in it.
If DCS has the Zero, I'd be there in a heartbeat. Been "flying" Zeroes since Microsoft CFS2 some 20 yrs ago
Not gonna lie I wasnt too excited about the WW2 stuff at first but its turning into my favourite content on this channel. Great change of pace
My grandfather was an Army Air Corps flight officer in Italy. He was an old man in his mid 20s at the time.
"He is probably not gonna make it home"
Japanese Kamikaze Pilot: "Yeah, that's what i'm here for"
Zero cigarettes: "There's nothing as satisfying as lighting up a Zero".
Or a Betty! The one shot lighter!
This looks simply epic, good job!!
This gives such strong insight as to what it was like for our pilots during that campaign. Awesome stuff.
I want a Corsair or a Hellcat. Imagine hunting tge sky for Hirachi. "We are poor little lambs that lost our way...."
I always wondered what a bomber formation defended by fighters looked like from the ground mid attack. All those planes going down, tracers everywhere. Never once seen any footage from that perspective
Love those green tracers flying out the ships like turbo lasers on a star destroyer
I just love that piece of music in the beginning
Very very nice! Fun to see WW2 in the Pacific. You did a nice job setting that up. I’ll have to check out the mods. Thank you for putting all this together! Must have been a lot of work but it paid off because it looks really sweet! Thanks again…
Thank you for your service
The whole picture looks like a hollywood film. Great content. Thanks.
lol one of your battleships was stationed in a landlocked pond along the coast. really cool looking, i chuckled a little bit. 4:33
This is amazing. I'm going to download this as soon as I can get a decent computer to try it on.
I'm an old IL-2 player and Pacific Fighters was my absolute fav... but after seeing this, WOW! Looks amazing and I would gladly jump back into flight sims if this had carrier battles/landings.
Great content. Love what you did recreating the Pacific. After watching numerous videos on the P-51 I wish they would revamp the .50 cal damage modeling a bit. Seems like it needs maybe 20% more damage than it currently has.
A Mustang pilot who served in the Pacific said that Zeros were easy to shoot down since they had no armor or self-sealing fuel tanks so they were easy to shoot down and light on fire.
I'd be interested in a Spitfire vs Zero fight being there both good turn fighters, wonder which one can turn better.
I think the Zero is that much slower than a Spitfire if we're comparing A6M2 and the first Mk of Spitfires. The Zero is also a lot lighter, so the low wing-loading should help. It would be pretty close so I think ultimately it may come down to skill.
This looks awesome. Combat Flight Simulator 2 was one of my first sims. I'd love to see DCS take a similar turn.
wow, the visuals are stunning.
Love it! Could not agree more. Looking forward to the Corsair getting released in the near future.
REALLY loving the WWII content my mans
Very cool. Love seeing zeros!!!! My Dad served in the Pacific Theater in WWII -- he built runways on those God-forsaken islands!
Man the visuals in this game are clean as heck. I hope DCS brings this theater to life!👍
Looks rad! Always loved the old warbirds, I know you don't get the same views as you do on the jet stuff, but this is really, really cool
Would be great for GS and LS to do some long versions
I'm absolutely LOVING this WW2 content.
Ohhhh I’ve been waiting for this!!!!!
You went full Beavis in this one. Fire! Fire! Fire!
Love seeing you in Big Beautiful Doll. (It looked like her). Anyway..... how long before the Hellcats come out??
Excellent!!! More... More...
Can't wait! One thing that would be cool is trying to (successfully) re-create Swede Vejtasa's epic 1 Dauntless vs 3 Zeros fight.
The Bob Zeamer recon mission was a good one too.
Thanks!
Thank you very much.
My did flew 46 missions in an F6F from the USS Lexington in the western Pacific in the summer and fall of 1944. This looks pretty good.
Another great video
Been a long time fan I enjoy all your content super stoked to see you play the Marianas map being from Guam it’s awesome to see this video
That's the island of Rota! A beautiful place!
Excellent video GS!!! Stunning visuals! I was wondering if we could find your mission anywhere!
Damn these look better and better! ☺👍
*Modern day jets dogfight* Me: Cool!
*WW2 prop planes with machineguns fight* Me: NOW WE'RE TALKING!!
"Hopefully he catches fire", he said calmly
Way cool love these videos
Watching that Zero burn while falling to the earth was pretty amazing.
Looks stunning Growler... just think the F4U and F6F will arrive in our lifetimes. Possibly a Val and Kate will show too in '42!!
That does look awesome
Definitely can see the potential in a WWII version of DCS. A+
Looks absolutley great, cant wait to try. Yo da man!
Thats fantastic!
Would be nice a Vietnam Map, F-4 with old real missile problems and a Vietnam campaign. And why not, a Vietnam campaign for Huey too, but it’s too early i think…
However, ED should replicate the F-4E, with no missile problems….
We already have the Russian planes from the era, the huey, the skyhawk, an F4 phantom module would be sweet
@@JDuBz815 yep, with the F-4, we will able to replicate the legendary fights between F-4s and Mig-21s, over the skies of Hanoi! I really hope this!
I was always wondering when DCS would get some Pacific stuff it seems like the perfect place for it. The maps will be mostly water, and you can have interesting fights between fleets. There's also some really awesome battles events that would be fun to try to reenact as well.
And is it maybe just me but .50 cal seems kinda weak in DCS? If you look at irl vids, .50 would dish out some really good pain but here planes seem to soak it up. Anyway thank you again for the vid really nice to just chill and watch.
Zeros were flying gas tanks. They didnt have self-sealing gas tanks so hit em with one round and they went up in a fireball.
Awesome, would like to see Pacific Theatre in DCS also.
Id love to see some Midway-style showdowns.. imagine the chaos and carnage!
Gets warm in theses Zeros
I feel like the zero should burn or disintegrate with even fewer hits than it takes. Granted, there might be a lot of gun camera footage showing them taking hits without effect that we haven't seen because its not spectacular, but pilots all seem to emphasize how quickly and easily they light in interviews.
That was AMAZING!!!
Very nice!
Damn you're too clean with the mustang guns.
OMG! About Time!!
I read about the Battle of Hong Kong about 2 years ago. I’ve been there many times way before that and never knew that history but wished I had so I could have explored that part of the island. It would be cool to see a Hong Kong map!
AND NOW THEY'RE ACTUALLY BUILDING WWII PACIFIC MAPS/ASSETS!!!! So hyped
