    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 prefer more up close and personal dogfights consider the IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battle series and experience intense WWII aerial combat over famous battlefields such as Stalingrad, Moscow, Rhineland and Normandy. Fight in and against Russian, American, German, British warbirds such as the P-51 Mustang, P-47 Thunderbolt, Bf-109, FW-190, Spitfire, Hurricane and rugged IL-2 Sturmovik attack plane. You can also fly legendary SPADS, Fokkers and Camels in WWI dogfights over the trenches of WWI and discover your inner Red Baron! And all of this can be experienced in jaw dropping virtual reality!
    If you enjoy war thunder or Microsoft flight simulator 2020 or even dogfighting in Battlefield 2042, 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.

    The ballistics on the 30mm look tricky, like there is a steep drop of in velocity and you have to have the range down juuuust right. I believe you mentioned in a previous video that some German aces didn't necessarily like it and found it was easier to score hits with the 20mm but I could totally be wrong about that. Looks like your gunnery is really improving though, you're using actual bursts rather than trying to use the machine guns as a precision weapon. I'm a Tanker by trade but a lifelong aeronautical enthusiast and love these videos but the thing I see a lot of guys is DCS and IL-2 do is be a bit squeamish in how they employ their weapons in an effort to conserve ammo. Your shortest trigger squeeze should be around 1 Mississippi and about 10-15 rounds (idk what the tracer ratio is but if its standard 1 to 5 then count 3 tracers if that's easier)

    Great vids! Thank you.
    I wonder though is it good idea to go in flat RIGHT-hand circle after P-51? Would be vertical loop better in this case?

      @@GrowlingSidewinder yeah. I was wandering on decisions behind going in flat horizontal loop after diving on that p51 @ 6:20.
      You had tremendous E advantage yet decided to go flat and in inefficient right turn against the torque.

    I'm curious what you think of the flight models on the various planes when comparing DCS planes to the same IL2 great battles variants? I recently looked at the price of getting a world war II DCS plane and the Normandy and Channel maps, but it's something like $75 on sale for the lot, and I already have almost all the IL2 to stuff

    • @JameyBarrow

      DCS definitely has a more in depth flight model for all their modules. DCS is more of a study sim so they have really nailed click pits and general feel of the aircraft. I mean next to flying the real deal DCS is going to be as close as its going to get. In my personal opinion IL2 aircraft feel a bit more "floaty" than DCS. Again my opinion but i feel that il2 does the whole "feel" of ww2 better. Plus you get alot of content for a fraction of the price. If you really want to dive into knowing the intricacies of one particular aircraft and want every tiny detail modeled then pick up whatever module and normandy map, you wont regret it. But there is definitely a noticeable difference in the handling of aircraft from dcs to il2. You gotta pay the price if you want high fidelity.

      I wouldn't get the Normandy map if you're getting into dcs ww2. The channel map is much newer and MUCH nicer, without a lot of the bugs of normandy.
      About fidelity, dcs is definitely a lot better, and as a mechanical engineer I greatly appreciate the very detailed piston engine simulation in dcs. Really cool to see stuff like the swirl throttle modelled correctly on the fw 190 d9, along with actual detonation calculations based on cylinder pressure, etc.

      @@JameyBarrow I wouldn't necessarily say that DCS is closer correlated or higher fidelity. Everyone has all of the same data for the most part and it's all insufficient to fully correlate the flight models for just about any plane, and only a few flying examples exist so pilot correlation is really impractical too. CFD is basically almost useless too so can't get too many hints from that.
      I'm gonna wager it comes down to which you like better, because they're both probably quite inaccurate in transients and even some steady state situations. Engine sim is supposedly more detailed in DCS.
