Matrix's voice is straight out of those black & white WWII films where they'd show the British/Allies overwhelming some guy called 'Gerry'..
It's such a posh BBC/RAF voice!
They don't need AAA, just a grass strip with a big sign "LAND HERE"
oof
those Mozzy's are REALLY hard to land... I'm almost shocked to see someone managed to land one. Well done that man.
Idea for next GR skills competition: land a warbird
So funny, I've lived on both Alderney and Sark.
There's always certain houses I hit with rockets, missiles or bombs on both islands. Not that I harbour a grudge or anything!😅😅😅
I find it more fun with a JDAM or GBU!
Watching from Guernsey! We still have a TON of German WW2 bunkers and watch towers to this day all over the island. Great content!
The last batch of landings are hilarious to watch the spits doin flips and 360’s and bits flying everywhere
That 'ACE' level AI 109 was evil, soaking up rounds from 4 of us before he went down. Was hilarious.
In true GR fashion, it's the landings that are deadliest.
Hey cap, this comment doesn't exactly fit the theme but me and my friends really appreciate the tutorials you have made over the years. Its truly helped us learn and master the modules in DCS and made the journey a lot easier. Thank you for the amazing content as always.
Some one is watching them yay!!
@@grimreapers Oh I'll be watching them intensely when I finally decide to pick a module to learn 😉 👍🏻
Thanks for flying over my home today, CAP. You should have waved 😄
He did, he banked his wings.....lol
Hi!
When Cap said "Roger" @7:54 he sounded just like Michael Caine in BoB.
Lol yep. :)
He did too 🤣
Hey Cap, I have another mission idea: An OTH (over-the-horizon) radar receiver was recently damaged or destroyed by drones near Kovylkino, Mordovia, Russia. That site has very tall antennae arrayed in a straight line, and the before-and-after satellite images released online show freshly charred ground along that line. According to public data, a skywave OTH radar can detect aircraft (possibly even stealth planes) up to 3000km away. If drones weren't available, could piloted aircraft pull this off? Would you use a Bone to run in and carpet that line before being intercepted, or would something like a flight of Raptors be better?
Thanks
29:49 Ello: (crosstalk)
Cap: What was your message, Ello?
Ello: (crosstalk)
Cap: Every time you speak, someone speaks over you.
Ello: (crosstalk)
😐😑
LMAO!!🤪
Hahaha not helpful to say everytime you talk someone talks over you! You gotta ask the crosstalker for comms
"No Damp, you can't have a Hind!" OMG TOO FUNNY! - You guys are awesome! Fun mission to watch. Video Valued by Valued Viewer - Fly Army! 🚁
Fun mission but it was painfully obvious that the Grim Reapers usually doesn’t have to worry about landing their warbirds 😆
AkA Cap vs Landing a warbird 😂 ok after watching a bit more: most vs landing a warbird
Those landings were pure comedy gold!
That looked FUN...
Glad to see at least 1 person managed to land a Mozzy, lot's of skill and practice there!
..I thank you 😀
Thank you for doing something about my home guys, couple of things, get here if you can, just in the summer, everywhere’s a tax haven cap, there are only 2 governments and both have about 20% tax rates. Guernsey was much more heavily defended than Jersey, nearly 2000 more bunkers and forts and would probably be the hardest to invade. My great Grandma was evacuated during the war, just a few days before the bombing of Guernsey harbour and the subsequent invasion, I’m sure she would have been grateful to get home a few years earlier
I love the interaction and talking over one another; I would imagine there has to be a lot of communications discipline.
It sounds worse than it is, as it's usually 2 different radio channels, and (if caps the same as me) has main and alternative coming out of different ears (panned left and right).. on headphones, so can easily concentrate on the conversation youre having. It doesn't really come across like that on the yt vids tho, so sounds far more confusing than it is
@@GR.TuxxoR Was not attacking the situation, not at all... but listening to you folks gives me a lot more insight into real missions -- even if this is just simulation. And all of you work pretty well as a team!
It would seem that some of the Grim Reapers may need to take retraining in landing in grass... lol Specially Capt. Have a Great one!!!
Seriously, grass landings are just impossible...
@@grimreapers Sorry Mate I just have to laugh watching that. I was a Gopher, aka C.D.A.T ( Computerized Dumb A$$ Tanker), So to watch a flock of Pigeons land on their feet and end up on their backs is actually funny to watch. In the air most of you grace the sky like Eagles, But landing, train wreck... Have a Great one and thank you for the replying to me!!!
Something about Matrix's voice makes him perfect for voiceover/narration work.
By the looks of the super rough landings we may need to see a Warbirds landing comp. Just like the carrier landing, but on a runway and then a grass field.
A lot of spare parts for Mossies, Mustangs and Spits at that airfield after the mission. 😅
Fun fact, a company of British Paratroopers jumped onto St. Helier Beach on a Friday with several landing in the sea, they then went on a battlefield tour, got drunk for the weekend and flew back on the Monday
Can you imagine being on one of the Channel Islands under occupation and hearing the howl of Merlins and Griffons overhead? Trying not to cheer as the Kraut garrison reconsiders their options.
Hello to the Grim Reapers from Plymouth.
Upon your return there will be bacon and egg sandwiches with a side salad.
If you could use the main runway, park up in the normal place and send the person who let their wet and unwashed socks on the radiator to the main office.
Even the airport cat won't go into the room.
wow iv been asking for a mission like this for a while the channel islands is full of historical events and ww2 was one of the most interesting and fascinating bravery by the people that lived here
I always play The Prodigy - Spitfire on these kind of videos and it always, somehow matches up perfectly to what happening in the video.
Those impacts and explosions look so much better now.
26:55 - or you could call David Niven & Gregory Peck !
If ground effect is simulated in the game, try raising the flaps just as you're about to or are touching down at landing. I use this technique flying RC warbirds and in DCS and it helps keeping the landing gear planted.
It is simulated yes :)
I enjoyed the variety of almost-landings at the end, good show!
WW 2 combat aviation was a breed apart... you knew you were going to get hit but pressed on with vengeance
Arty is scary with that Spitfire.
Loved the Men rubbing it in when you crashed on landing Cap. The Mossie flyby was particularly gratifying. Love the different scenarios and time lines you guys include in your missions. Many thanks fellows.
Flyby might have been me... 👀
Watching you guys try to land in the fields is so funny. Thanks for all the great content
I'm from Jersey and have been watching your videos for ages - this is so cool for me to see my home in one of your videos!
Hope we didn't accidentally bomb it, which is entirely possible with our renowned aimin abilities 🙄😂
Looks like your new airbase has lots of spare parts.
Perfect GR landings.
Are you sure that was an airfield? I've seen flatter BMX courses.
Picturing the Air Force General at the post post-debrief: "So as I understand it, the mission was a success & you met most/all objectives ... but I have no remaining aircraft? On account of poor lawn care?" 😊
(Really enjoyed the premise and organized mission. Ty all 🫡)
Wow. Most of the warbirds that landed in that field crashed, and more than half of those turtled which would have killed the pilot.
If it's that hard then maybe the Grim Reapers needs a grassy field landing competition.
Having been to 3 of the channel islands, Guernsey, Sark and Jersey, I have to say that the amount of concrete the Germans left behind is impressive,
Landing warbirds competition series!!! Need this now
Fun Fact: All GR can fly wit the best of them. Also, 1 in 10 can land.
1 in 20.
have the grapics been updated.. i don´t remember it looking this fantastic?
Reapers your landing skills are entertaining 🤣
You guys are really really good at this!
I've tried and after a bunch of nervous break downs and about 15 strokes I'm still a spring chicken compared to you.
But some day.. perhaps 😂
Does CAP attend the briefing??!!😂
He ATTENDS the briefing, but he doesn't pay attention or they just wake him up when it's over.
I use it as time to catch up on GR emails...
Great stuff!
Gut excited when I heard there was an E-Boat.
Disappointed - Older boxy one.
I love the SLEEK one - But a 1/32 RC model!
Hey Cap! I have a (hopefully fun) idea for another mission. Could the current New Zealand military defend against a WW2 Japanese invasion?
Some Beaufighters would be nice in this mission.
I need money give me money got me lying on the floor laughing 💀
Missed opportunity to mention a place you can practice your taildragger landings?
Nice battle!
I believe Guernsey is the tax haven, a lot of business jets registered there...
ELLO #1 SUCK IT!!!!LMFAO with my Koffee!☕☕🤣😉
Jersey is home of my medieval family I’ve traced us back too. Still there 1000 years later! The Germans didn’t wipe them out. But wondered what the occupation was like…
For the history minded, On related note, Big Y DNA test shows they were not Norman but Celtic. My DNA IS 95.5% Celt and was a “rare” and “close” paternal match with Kilteasheen 22 dug up in Roscommon Ireland dating to 960-1300 AD! How cool is that?
I’m itching to make a LONG trip soon now I’m retired.
Beautiful Thats soo cool guys
Excellent! 😀
Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing 😅
Im still having trouble getting my P-47D off the ground in the Campaign mission. I still can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I can't keep my oil pressure low enough on takeoff, blow the engine. Then I can't get enough power for takeoff if I don't. Help!
DCS is a bit crazy with warbirds, especially at low speeds.
I found myself watching Band of Brothers (again) recently, and I wondered if it would be possible to recreate the D-Day airborne drop with different eras of air assault doctrine. So like 1944 with the DC-2/C-47s, then Vietnam era with Hueys , Desert Storm era operations with Blackhawks, and more modern landings with, hell, I dunno what they use these days. Chinooks? Ospreys? I'm sure y'all have some folks more knowledgeable than me.
GR landings are best landings 😂 you can't park there sir
Can you fly the F-16C with the Chilean Air Force skin please? there is a pale blue one wich is a retro skin from 2007 and there is a grey modern skin wich is what they are using now. The Chilean F-16C skin appeared on the 2023 and beyond trailer and the Sinai Map trailer, it has a blue rudder with a white star
Did any Spit land undamaged? Too funny
No...
*RPM* not RPMs ... it's revolutions per minute not per minutes... unless you're inventing a new unit for rotational acceleration 😉
I love DCS WW2, but sometimes I get so frustrated.
Bugs that takes literal years to fix.
Bad/lacking damage modeling on aircraft.
Lack of appropriate aircraft.
Not nearly enough AI assets.
Completely bonkers damage modeling on ground units and ships.
Almost complete lack of area effect damage from bombs and rockets.
Much of this effects modern DCS too, but is more noticeable in WW2 settings.
DON'T FLARE!!!!!!
What was the final landing ratio? 4:20/ 3:24????? Great fun to watch. Thank you all, as always.
All I know is, I landed fine with no damage. Which is rare, I know .. 😅
@@GR.TuxxoR you did a great job, Sir. I was impressed. Keep the rubber down and the shiny side up.
Hey Cap!
I have a mission suggestion for you. How about the 'bomb your own airbase' from the book, Catch-22? Is there a B-25 available in DCS?
Great Mission, btw where is that crazy Dampsock?, I miss his often irrelevant but funny as hell comments. (ie I'm missing that crazy bastard)
Can your programming model paratrooper and glider landings ?
think you guys are making sure the enemy cannot use your aircraft's
Hey cap, are you still hanging out in that cockpit or did they get you out😂
Still there...
What were the black and whitebstripes for on the wings? I've always wondered?
They're called Invasion Stripes. They were painted on Allied aircraft for easier identification. Too much risk of friendly fire otherwise.
@@davidmoore1253 👍👍
What comms do you guys use its got that realistic sound to it
SRS
They dont like it up um..
Some interesting early commenters
The peninsula looks like Trumps face. 👀
The rear view of the B-21 has been released. Now you can correct your version.
It's what I said. The lower part of the exhaust is like the F-117. The top part of the exhaust is like the top exhaust of the YF-23.
Thanks
@@grimreapers
I've just seen the intake of the engine without the covering. Showing the B-21 has 2 engines.
Have you seen these pictures yet?
DCS AAA is pretty ridiculous. No more dangerous type of anti air fire than an ai dude with an mg. They just don't miss.
some serious bot spam going on here...
I am continually amazed by the passion and interest these bots show to this subject. 🔥
They are truly the biggest fan.
Was it a bot claiming to be a true fan?
They need to be flogged. 🤔
@Slikx666 Mostly comments that are completely unrelated to the video. One stated "this conversation is a testament to the power of women's voices"
@@hanrockabrand95
Oh them! 🤨
Stupid bots!
I can't believe that none of you flew a P-47, which is the ultimate WWII ground attack aircraft. It is a flying tank with eight .50 cal machine guns with 425 rounds per gun as well as rockets and bombs.
DCS landing physics sucks royally.
No it's not Wifi or slow connection.
@@rucker69 Yeah... planes act this way like cartoons...
Not realistic at all flying grass level
The crosstalk is absolutely maddening. Do better.
Iran vs Israel Air Force
@7:43. @Bendy youre drunk in caps video aswell as mine!
Guilty as charged
