Good fun and shout out to Simba, some great flying there! I think the 'unlimited re-spawns' for reds was a major problem, maybe just tweak it so they re-spawn at least 30 miles away (inland) from the target would have given you a better chance? Damn good effort though. Pax
It’s kinda the reality when you do it yourself. I love the warbirds. You are putting your effort into flying the planes and the tactics of dogfighting rather than programming a computer to drop bombs, firing fire and forget missiles etc. Cold War and ww2 are my favorite aspects of dcs
Loved the video @Grim Reapers! Wonderful Flying by Simba in his Spitfire, worthy of a Commission to the Rank of Flight Lieutenant at least if I do say so myself. Cap, well let's face it, you're basically a Group Captain with the Fact that you're always taking charge of the Situation. Would love to see some World War Two Missions from the Ground Perspective or Maybe some Commerce Interdiction at Ports like Dunkirk, Le Harve or Cherbourg at some point in the future man!
It closed in 2018 and is now in the process of being decommissioned. It’s a fascinating area, beautiful and eerie. It’s often used for fashion photoshoots and films etc Derek Jarman the film director and gay icon used to live there too. It also has a lovely steam railway and is well worth a visit.
Trivia. In BC Canada we know Dungeness! In BC and the Pacific North west US there is a very tasty crab called the Dungeness crab. Captain Vancouver named a spit in the olympic peninsula Dungeness Spit after Dungeness point in England. This where the crab got it's name.
The Spits were getting FAR too close to their target. Spit guns are ranged for target at 300yds which is where the guns converge. Close in they are ineffective, the rounds go either side of the target. The 109's guns are in the nose so don't have the same issue, they can fire from really close.
Those 109's were brutal. I'm not sure why you didn't have the fighter cover higher. Surely it would have helped? It was exciting regardless. A special mention for Simba for tying up the Germans for so long.
The K4 has an amazing climb rate, so we used the altitude on the first engagement at the coast, then kept it on the deck inland and just boomed and zoomed.
@@st0atmaster It didn't stop you though lol. Poor Cap is probably developing an inferiority complex by now. Assuming that he doesn't already have one 😎
So , got dcs , joystick and throttle controls just need an invite from grim reapers followed by a very patient flying instructor with sense of humour , pretty please
Why not use fuel tanks on the spits? Also the optimal engine setting for absolute max range is 1700RPM !and Minus 4 boost. However in DCS that breaks the engine. You can also try 2000 RPM and 0 boost.
Cant believe that CAP didnt know where Dungeness is... I flew round it when I first got DCS to find no lighthouse there... very surprised to see that, or not see it.
What flashed by in war thunder in the loading screen was that the allies didn't believe the zero plane had the massive range it did have. because I think even 500 miles there and back was a lot back then when with drop tanks some of them were only 800 miles. what was the zero like 1200 or more miles. Have you guys done pby missions in dcs? They had long ass range and there were units of them run by Americans in pacific because they could reach places no other planes could. They had quite a few units and found a you tube doc about them and they had I don't remember a few dozen groups that would have flown quite a few sorties in other words attack/bomber pby groups.
Dungeness is otherwise known as I call it ,,, English Point when I flt IL-2 Blitz. I dig flying these WW2 sims. The Wissant area in France is otherwise known as French point. I have been flying IL2 Cliffs and Blitz since 2015 and still mix it up with Jerry there. ~S~
22:15 I can see where you are going wrong, mounting your joystick on a live cow and closing your eyes is not ideal and may result in terrible shooting.
There was a movie from the 60s or 70s that was about a mission involving mosquitoes flying in the mountains to destroy a German gun, if you know the movie I'd like to see a redo because the movie was low budget but a true story
Sounds like Mosquito Squadron, which re-used a lot of 633 Squadron footage - and did indeed star David McCullum. 633 Squadron itself was Norway with the Mossies flying up a fjord to destroy a fuel factory. Great film.
14:55 that's one way to do it ... hardly sustainable ... lolz 40:50 i thought kamikaze was a japanese word 41:55 i don't think you're supposed to do that

These WW2 and early cold war vids are the absolute best. Totally nail-biting and action packed. Love it! Thanks GRs!
"is it in England or France?" God I love GR 😂. Nothing hits the boomboom bone and the funny bone the way GR chaps do.

Cap: "Man this spit is fast look how fast it is!"
Also cap: "This slow ass spitfire!"
🤣
lol yeh, compared to K-4 not so fast :(
The ww2 missions are far more exciting than the modern stuff. In my humble opinion that is.
More visible action, less annoying Beeps and Waaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhs
I like the modern naval battles
One thing is for sure they took way bigger balls to pull off than modern day stuff.

@@jonridley don't get me wrong, I'm 100% with you on this. But lobbing Amraams in TWS is fun in a cheeky way.

Really needed the 633 Squadron music playing
like the older style of missions!
It's like an older WW2 mission..!
Yeh they are so enjoyable to play.
Action packed mission boys, fun vid, thanks Cap.
The historical missions are always good. Nice to get a wee history lesson too
Just like riding a bike: you keep falling off it even after decades of experience.
Cap goes down in a Blaze of Glory...
Please do more of these. So much more action rather than who's quickest with missile lock and relying on technology.
agree
You finally did it again, Cap. When you get anxious, your accent comes out. When you say "Order", I hear "D'oeuvres"....lol
lols

At Dungeness in Kent there is a nuclear power station, which closed in 2006. There were two of them inside the building.
Wow! i want to go there now.

15:12 _"Any ideas?"_
I'm not a flyer, Cap. But I'm betting that was an aircraft.
Good guess!
FYI I knew Dungeness because it's mentioned in the only sea shanty everyone knows - 'Spanish Ladies'

Simulate a Egyptian strike on the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam potentially with Sudanese support.

Well done all.
"Look how fast this freakin' Spit is."
A few moments later...
"Slow ass Spitfire, come on."
A bit on the cruel side, Don't make me send Churchill a letter of reprimand! Squadron Leader.
love these WW2 missions..............the sounds!!
I'm only halfway through the video and I love the World War II planes keep it up guys
Rhubarb: small-scale freelance fighter sorties against ground targets of opportunity.
Can't believe you've never heard of Dungeness! It has ruddy great Nuclear Power Stations! Was that perfect French Capt used @32.04?
Oopsy!
You crack me up. " How do I stop my fuel gauge from reading zero ? ".. Gas - Up You Fool!

@@st0atmaster It was painful watching the Spitfires struggle and the Mossies get slaughtered.

(And Caps face. Still happy about that one)

Cap’s Sunday Spit-it’s holy.
Thank you as always. Been away whitewater kayaking. Now time of year to catch up with the GR boys. vvvvv
My father's 1903-A3 from the Marine Corps is dated '43, also got the matching 1911, both Remington models 🙂
I got an old Remington
2000.
How do you fly them? Sounds complicated.
@@xenaguy01 LOL Blue Meanies 😁
Wow, how much time does it take to put these videos together? I think they're brilliant!
This was brilliant. Love the WW2 stuff. Top job boys. Those luftwaffe pilots were dangerous!!

Mosquito guys, "Bally Brylcream boys don't know where Dungeness is"!
Great video!! Thanks
What happened to you guys playing stirmovik ?
That's on Channel 2 only: ua-cam.com/channels/ZzvHfFzIpMrvgAbgZDUX9A.html
Some real good dogfights in this one. 👍
Cant believe that CAP didnt know where Dungeness is... I flew round it when I first got DCS to find no lighthouse there... very surprised to see that, or not see it.
No respawns in 1942. Nice vid.
Great to watch, but the Spitfire leader has a lot to learn. lol
Cap - why no missions with Lancasters ?
not avail in game yet.
I really enjoyed this battle. Good job boys.
Brilliant ! All that is missing is the theme from 633 Squadron.
EDIT : How cool looking is the Butcher Bird ?
Very good ...enjoyed that.
Glorious sounds!
Cap “When I say a guy I obviously mean ALL of them” Hahahahah 😂🤣 ✈️ 💥
enjoyed watching the opening sequence but not so much when it descends in to 'use your face' game play
Nice attempt. Greatly enjoyed the suspense!
Lol, cap so salty after getting killed he couldn't even do commentary
I lived in dungeness ...watch out for the nuclear power station..it's easy to spot lol
Nice kill on the 190, before St Omaire?
Cap, never heard of Dungeness Crabs?
Yeh but I didn't realise it was a town oops
Love the WW2 videos
Never heard of Dungeness ?!
Where do you live?
Ely
Are those Mosquitos nerfed on DCS? It should be able to show a 109 a clean pair of heels.

If I attack St. Omer Clammerais field I tend to come in with escorts at 11k . and pass the field and then dive in.
I will be so glad to get DCS WW2 maps and that Spitfire or Hurricane both. The Terrain looks awesome. Awesome Video ,, great Flying !!!!!!!!!
It’s a great day!
Another mission well buggered!
How do I join you guys?
Start here please: ua-cam.com/video/Z_tR7H7hu5o/v-deo.html

Is Dungeness in England??? :D
Now that’s what I call using your fox-forehead
_rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb_
16.17 Is that not a Me109K and did they not become operational late 44? Sorry for nit-picking Cap, but standards!!
We only have the one 109 in DCS, which is the K4. (Which is a beast!)
@@st0atmaster Yeah, it is! great vid as usual cap!
I believe Matrix called this at the pre-brief?!
Yes sometimes we have to pretend the versions we have available are other versions for roleplay purposes.
@@grimreapers Thanks, yes pretending is useful at times! Keep up the good work, Boom Boom time is always good time!
Dungeness … mainly a decommissioned nuclear power station these days
14:55 that's one way to do it ... hardly sustainable ... lolz

41:55 i don't think you're supposed to do that

ooooo Rhubarb mmmmmmmm.
Rhubarb Crumble. With a sprinkling of soft dark sugar caramelized on top!

Great dogfighting
Geography was not your best subject at school then.
A 1943 operation but Me 109k-4?🤦♂️
Your supposed to be flying escort dude.
All over the place with no SA as bombers go down. What are we gunna do with you ?
Dungeness is it in England? 🤣
I’m finally early
Ooo, that 30mm to the face has gotta hurt!
