    Listen to an experienced pilot as he gives good advice. You detached yourself from the formation. In 303 Polish squadron only one pilot had a special dispensation and he was able to leave the formation right after the attack, it was Josef František. He was a loner and liked hunting damaged planes by the canal.

    I can't decide what's getting worse, my eyesight or TAFF's gunnery 🤪 should have bagged at least 3 Stukas at the very least. Nice series TAFF keep it going 👍

    You play a rookie pilot very well, jerking the stick as you hit the firing button. Steady, steady.....now gently squeeze.
    And the commander was right...stay near the rest of the chaps. And watch your 6!!!

    I like the new story telling. Keep it deep and interesting. It will give viewers the reason to stay on the video to see how it played out. If I may suggest, maybe commentate as the character. It would take some acting but if it worked, it would bring continuity to the whole story.

    I wonder how philosophical those pilots at the beginning would be if it were Japanese pilots being ripped apart. Unfortunately, the war in the Pacific had a much darker, more racialized tone, from the Allied perspective.

  • @randlerobbertson8792
    @randlerobbertson8792 3 роки тому +5

    The shooting was to my eyes, pretty dreadful. No leading the prey, No deflection and shooting starts at ranges wayyyy too excessive and, opportunites to strafe a whole line of stukas simply ignored right at the start. That ship would still be intact if the job was done properly. Thats what I wouldve been saying had I been flight leader . Saying all that. great fun to watch. I could do better though . Lastly, the man with altitude dictates the fight. No attempts made to climb above lumbering stukas. As the film said . should be like shooting rats in a barrel.

  • @sunshineviking9933
    @sunshineviking9933 3 роки тому +5

    Perhaps next time use the "comfy chair" and the "soft cushion". It would likely yield better results than the dodgy gunnery on this run. Honestly, I think overshooting your targets, and the visible twitch when you pull the trigger are a real problem.

    12:38 - "Disoriented..." I worked for Hilton Hotels when I was much younger. I once had someone tell me they wanted to "reservate" a room. The only time the extra "at" is proper is when it's immediately followed by "ion."
    And, the description says first sortie, but you refer to the earlier one, at the start. Did you just forget to change the description for this video?

    Those 8 x 30 cals seem totally useless, at close range they should chew up targets.

    • @Dafmeister1978
      @Dafmeister1978 3 роки тому +2

      I think the problem is that Taff has them harmonised too far out, if he's getting that close they need to be converging at less than 100 yards.

    • @timonsolus
      @timonsolus 3 роки тому +2

      @@Dafmeister1978 : RAF doctrine before the Battle of Britain was to harmonise the guns at 250 yards. The idea was to aim carefully, and shoot the bomber from directly behind from far enough away that the rear gunner couldn't get many hits on you in return - since aiming accurately from a gunner position on a bomber was thought to be a lot harder than aiming through a reflector gunsight in a fighter.
      Of course, that doctrine didn't take account of the presence of enemy escort fighters. France wasn't supposed to fall into German hands, and German fighters weren't expected to have enough range to operate over the UK. The bombers were supposed to be unescorted.

    Nicely done video, some very neatv 'art' detailing, odd way to show RAF tactics though.
    Mostly to see a Stuka was to hit and probably down it !
    One exception though, my parents generation, the World War 2 generation often said and meant what they said, "the only good German is a dead German".
    Today this phrase is not politically correct, not understood.
    That British generation were well aware of the atrocities committed by Germans and not only by the SS & Gestapo.
    Today numerous excuses are made on behalf of those Germans.
    The fact is and supported by news reels of film, while they thought they were winning the vast bulk of the German population supported the NAZI war and its aims including it's butchery.
