    Those Peshkas knocked down more 109s than your flight of fighters in this mission. About the only good thing is you managed to return to base with an aircraft devoid of cannon holes for your ground crew to patch up. While you were fannying around above the clouds, two of your flight members got shot down and were captured by the enemy. You need to stay in touch with the rest of your flight, Taff, instead going off on your own chasing a kill of an already damaged aircraft and wasting a lot of ammo while making heavy weather of bringing it down. You continue to try turn-fighting tactics when you need to employ the high yoyo manoeuvre in the La-5 to be successful against the Bf-109.

    I kept yelling my head off, "Tafinski! Watch your 6!" You were lucky no one jumped you. When that 109 kept diving under you, roll inverted! That way you won't have to search for him. The Bf-109 AI is very good, by the way. About the time you said you have to conserve ammo, I was thinking the same, lol! Very enjoyable video, Taff.

    the 109 is much faster, you shouldnt try to gain altitude after a pass, he will just get away from you

    That hun pilot must have been laughing and thanking his lucky stars he met the worst shot in the Soviet Air Force. If he had a bit more control on his aircraft I'm sure he would have made it home. Taff you need to work on your gunnery. So when will you transfer to MiGs?

    • @lucius6667
      @lucius6667 3 роки тому

      Nothing todo with Taffs aim if u knew anything about cannons you would know due the the heavier weight of projectiles and differences in aerodynamics of said rounds compared to Machine gun rounds you would know they have a poor habit of dropping in flight also take into consideration he has no tracer rounds also used to lay the rounds on target so he's doing the best he can with what he's got

    • @gotanon8958
      @gotanon8958 3 роки тому +3

      It has little to do with the cannon and more to do with how the round is designed. And from the looks if it the round has a rather poor BC(Ballistic coeffecient) hence why it has a much shorter range than other cannon in its class.

    • @vonskyme9133
      @vonskyme9133 3 роки тому

      While the cannons/ballistics are an issue, gunnery has long been Taff's weakest link. Not surprising, given it's probably the hardest skill to develop, and it's still better than mine, but it was an issue with his earlier MG armed aircraft too.
      We all have weaknesses, so it's not an attack on him.
      For that matter, compensating for ballistic drop is all part of gunnery, so it still counts as something to improve.

    I just got this. How do you look around so well while flying?

    • @vonskyme9133
      @vonskyme9133 3 роки тому +1

      Taff uses TrackIR, which tracks his head movements (it's not VR, just a rig which changes the view on screen based on where you look), so that will be a lot smoother than most options. I recommend using the mouse if you can, if you don't have a similar rig. Takes some 'training' to get that useless off-hand to be precise, but it can be done.

    • @sebastianmcguire1713

      Okay. I just recently got a PC and this is my first flight sim. I have a thrustmaster hotas 4 I'm trying to learn how to use.

    It really is time to give up on the La5 and move on to the Yak... It may suit you better.
