Check out the Merch Store: growling-sidewinder.creator-spring.com/ I'm A Cat Person Hoodie: growling-sidewinder.creator-spring.com/listing/i-m-a-cat-person-f-14-tomcat?product=227 So as stated in the video, we have moved into a closed beta test where a group of guys on the team are trying out the server as we try to fine tune a couple things here and there and get it ready to release. You will need the CHANNEL map, World War 2 Assets pack and at least 1 World War 2 Module (excluding the I-16) to fly on this server. This server will be a mix of PvP and PvE and should offer a fairly new experience every time you log in. As we near the release of the server keep an eye out for a release trailer video I am hoping maybe sometime THIS week to go public with the server. Thanks for watching guys much love.
@my dad beats me Well, maybe it’s not most 13YO’s cup of tea. Still, I’m terrible, bought the A-10C module before DCS existed, played the old Jane’s games in the 90s (still have all my spiral flight manuals), and still suck. So the 20-somethings will get me good.
I like it from what I've seen. Having a server with such an open ended mission profile,-basically grab some buds, take off, go see what trouble you can get into-instead of being dependent on more scripted out missions, is brilliant. In fact, I think it models what real CAP was like back then--airplanes just flying around looking for enemy planes who were doing the same thing while everyone else was flying huge, strategic missions. It's a great way to get into some action that won't ever quite be repeated again.
My immediate thought was stick stirring that I saw a lot of in Aces High, to the point that the dev had to put code in to disable control inputs if they were moved too rapidly. Looks silly and nothing like any WWII footage I've ever seen.
I would love to see you and LS do some runs together with the DH 98 mosquito, or do another two morons video where you pit vietnam war era jet aircrafts against WW2 planes
Pretty sure that 109 pilot was just trying to keep his plane in the air, hence the wobble. As for the spits firepower, the Hispanos do seem to lack the bite you'd expect. A single 20mm cannon hit should cause significant damage as long as its not a tracer round.
Over the past couple of days I have watched several of your Spitfire videos. I'm no fan of the movie Dunkirk, but what I did find extremely impressive about it was the interior shots of the Spitfires, and the Spitfire dogfights. What incredible machines! Those young pilots had brass balls! I'm 62 and have never played any type of these video games, but they sure look beautiful and way fun!
@@GrowlingSidewinder no thank you, thank you and Longshot for the laughter while everything else around us is all messed up. I'm waiting for my American Murder Hornet sweater lol.
the two 20's are perfectly fine hes not hitting in his convergence so its not doing maximum damage. if he hit the plane in the convergence it would completely destroy the 109plus he was clipping the wings which can be good if both 20's are hitting the same spot but just 1 is gonna waste ammo.
Stirring the pot was the stick movements used by British bombers to provide an evasive target to German fighters while giving the tail gunner the best target. I see you have 4 x 20mm cannon mounted and they should have cut that 109 to pieces, they performed like 30 cal.
Dude... This is why i love planes so much. Just this guy flying over from England to german occupied france. Just chillin tree top level. True nomad of the skies.
Man. Watching this sure makes me wish I had the money to upgrade my computer and get a HOTAS set with VR...but it's out of my price range at the moment...so I'll just keep watching :D
@@parithon2397 Well, when I said upgrade, I was actually referring to purchasing a newer one...my current one is ten years old and has been upgraded a couple times. It's past due for a newer one :D
Great stuff, remember the Spitfire has the gunsight anti glare shield if your chasing an enemy into the sun. I agree the Spitfire guns seem a bit lame, you pretty much need to aim for engines and cockpit to get a quick kill. Great flying mate.
Nice vid. Totally agree that the Spit weaponry should be doing more damage than it is. I know they're not the biggest of guns but hits, especially to the fuselage just seem to ping off it! Myself and a fellow Shrekkie both emptied our Spits on a 109 and it was still flying! Slightly damaged, leaking something but still flying. But even with the gripes, we still come back for more (especially with the release of the Mossie)! We'll need to look out for your server. Thanks.
"High Yo-Yo" While watching your videos, I wondered what happend to this term. When I try to learn simulations in 90's, manuals always mentioned that yo-yo term.
Beautiful! Don't have the gear to do this kind of stuff but love to watch your video's. All those little scratches that appear in the glare of the sun don't seem historically accurate to me. You see lots of WW2 photos of ground crew cleaning windscreens and canopies to avoid just that. The fogging is a great effect.
The B wing Spitfire only had four 0.303 calibre versus the P51's six 0.50 calibre. It will do less damage so may be about right. The A wing had eight 0.303 and the Mk. II-B wing Hurricane had 12 0.303 brownings for comparison.
@@GrowlingSidewinder Oh indeed but you commented on the machine guns not seeming to do enough damage to 109s and that was my thought as to why. You seemed to be using just the 303s on the 109. That is all I meant by my comment.
I am missing someone like a Theodor Weissenberger on the German site to fly even only one of the Bf 109s. German site is not aggressiv enough. Like sitting ducks.
The Mk9s guns are 2 20mm with 120 rds per and either 4 303cal or 2 50cal mgs. Those 303s are just rifle bullets and do not do much damage. The Mk1 spit had 8 303s in BOB 1940. Need to set up to only fire your 20s when you are sure to hit. Check your convergance too, looks like 200yds might be good for ur style.
Looking forward too it! I'll need some help with the radar tho... O7 edit. Just finished vid, Your comments are ... O7. And luv the teamwork the P51 and you did.... instinctually! O7
GS wondering if someone sees him is like a teenager wondering if someone likes them: I mean... He might not see me... *Obvious maneuvering in response to seeing them* Maybe he does... *Actively maneuvering for a shot* Hm... I think... Yeah, he might... But... *Spitfire explodes* I think he saw me, yeah.
Can you remake the scene in the movie Pearl Harbor where Rafe and Danny Both get airborne with a whole bunch of Chinese fighters attacking them? I think that would be pretty cool for a video
Dangit, this video is making this WWII aviation and flight simulator buff wish I had a PC that could actually run DCS well! Sadly all those planes, bombs, bullets, and other assets on this awesome-looking server would make my 2015 gaming laptop cry. Sigh…I’ll have to chug the cash to build a new gaming PC sooner or later…
Looking forward to such server - my issue is button binds just aren't working or not recognized in DCS - Thrustmaster stick, rudders and throttle... Keep up the good work GS
Not for me to say, necessarily, (at my skill level) but I think a bit more elevator trim up would have made your Spit a bit more stable. It just looks like you are fighting a tendency for the plane to pitch down and bobbing a bit. (That’s a lot of “bits.”)
Think i have to get more ww2 stuff to join, your open conflict server is great for me and the only server i play. I only have an hour or two time to play so its just perferct with hot start and just a few minutes of flight to action.

Great news, my Squadron is ready to drop on it, we managed usually to have from ten to twenty pilots on SOW so it will be a good test for the server 👍

Seconded
God damn it autocorrect I meant to say second
@@nukewurld how I’m a newbie when it comes to this stuff
@@nukewurld oooh thanks bro

Those are some Warthunder flailing moves by the 109. lol
my first thought too!
Exactly what I was thinking lol
This is all that 109 mains in WT do, it's abysmal :L
@@gyrro6377 that's all you can do in WT, tbh. All german planes are nerfed to the ground in WT.
My immediate thought was stick stirring that I saw a lot of in Aces High, to the point that the dev had to put code in to disable control inputs if they were moved too rapidly. Looks silly and nothing like any WWII footage I've ever seen.
I would love to see you and LS do some runs together with the DH 98 mosquito, or do another two morons video where you pit vietnam war era jet aircrafts against WW2 planes
The movie The Final Countdown actually showed this.
The only plain that really could compete with a jet from say Korean war would be the Corsair.
Pretty sure that 109 pilot was just trying to keep his plane in the air, hence the wobble. As for the spits firepower, the Hispanos do seem to lack the bite you'd expect. A single 20mm cannon hit should cause significant damage as long as its not a tracer round.
Il-2 has some great 20mm armaments

That 51 had a Voodoo skin!
Looks like the infamous "LW wobble" doesn't work as well as in IL-2, you do actually bleed off airspeed here. :)
Just wish we could have more plane sets to create more diverse scenarios, new sounds clouds and damage model are incredible
sad to see the il2 community degenerate into crybabies
You read my mind
Just watched DUNKIRK again a couple of nights ago, this is very reminiscent! Great stuff
I love it, pre congratulations on 200k! You and Longshot have grown ALOT in the last 6 months.
thank you very much, really appreciate that.
@@GrowlingSidewinder no thank you, thank you and Longshot for the laughter while everything else around us is all messed up. I'm waiting for my American Murder Hornet sweater lol.
@@GrowlingSidewinder and look at you now
the early Spitefire's fired 8 .303 British Machine gun ammo (same ammo as their rifle) but very high rate of fire
The version modelled in DCS is the MkIX with two 20mm cannon and 4 of the. 303 mgs
5:25 AIM-9X
This channel NEVER gets old, its just the best. Also, almost at 200k subs!!! I support you!
also has the best subs around. You the man brother.
@@GrowlingSidewinder Ofc :)
That mustang wanted all the smoke , literally 🤣🤣🤣.
Bf-109 attacks lone P-51
GS: "Surprise muthafuka!"
Going where the Sidewinders don’t growl. Glad to see some promotion of the DCS WW2 stuff.
The two 20mm of the Spit don't have quite enough 'Oomph!' against later war planes. The four .303 might as well be throwing salt.
the two 20's are perfectly fine hes not hitting in his convergence so its not doing maximum damage. if he hit the plane in the convergence it would completely destroy the 109plus he was clipping the wings which can be good if both 20's are hitting the same spot but just 1 is gonna waste ammo.
These WW2 videos are super interesting
Seeing this content makes me want to start playing DCS!
Do it brotha it’s worth it
yea same here, I gave in and bought a few things to get started. apparently they have a 50% sale on your first purchase.

This is one of my favorite YT channels. Hands down.
That 109 pilot is probably a PUBG player, thinking he can bunny-hop his way out of an aerial engagement.
Damage modelling much improved. 👍🏻
I love the dynamics of this server concept! PvP w accurate(ish) AI models mixed in!
Really need more ww2 fighter content. PLEASE
the effect on the plane when firing is so realistic. Amazing. I wish Il2 sturmovik had less cartoon like graphic.
Great video as always btw
Man. Watching this sure makes me wish I had the money to upgrade my computer and get a HOTAS set with VR...but it's out of my price range at the moment...so I'll just keep watching :D
vr aint even worth it homie
Don’t fret too much… video cards aren’t avail right now to upgrade.
@@parithon2397 Well, when I said upgrade, I was actually referring to purchasing a newer one...my current one is ten years old and has been upgraded a couple times. It's past due for a newer one :D
Can you imagine getting a strafing kill on a torpedo? Gotta be a medal in that!
@@uncletiggermclaren7592 That's really cool. Imagine the relief of the ship's crew seeing those things getting blown up.
FINALLY A WW2 VID I'VE BEEN WAITING!!
The Spit Fire had the 303, which couldn't punch holes in paper.
109 DM was always really like flying tank in DCS unfortunatelly it didnt change.
That second 109 may have been shot down but his mechanical bull impersonation was spot on.
"Rough day at the office for this guy" lol 12:05
Steady flying, Steady voice work. Nice.
Man i like some Spitfire action every now and then.. nice!
Hi GS, your the channel that got me into dcs! Almost at 200k, good luck! Have a great day!
Every bit of knowledge i claim to know about this game, the planes, the weapons, or tactics - i got from your vids.
Great stuff, remember the Spitfire has the gunsight anti glare shield if your chasing an enemy into the sun. I agree the Spitfire guns seem a bit lame, you pretty much need to aim for engines and cockpit to get a quick kill. Great flying mate.
New guy on your channel...Van BC Cdn... Fascinating your professionalism...Very enthralled and entertained...Are you a real life pilot
TV
Hello from Ontario Clark, no sir I am not a real pilot just another guy on UA-cam. I've had the pleasure of learning a lot from the real guys though.
If 2 pilots get hits on an enemy. Said enemy goes down, who gets credit for the kill?
Nice vid. Totally agree that the Spit weaponry should be doing more damage than it is. I know they're not the biggest of guns but hits, especially to the fuselage just seem to ping off it!
Myself and a fellow Shrekkie both emptied our Spits on a 109 and it was still flying! Slightly damaged, leaking something but still flying.
But even with the gripes, we still come back for more (especially with the release of the Mossie)! We'll need to look out for your server. Thanks.
Thanks.
More WWII stuff please!...good stuff!
Loving the WWII stuff!
Great work with the warbirds. 👊
"Passionate kiss like spiderweb soon lead to undoing of fly." -Confucious
I hope that if an A6M "Zero" was on this game, I wanna see what it can do.
There is sadly no Zero in DCS :(
GREAT Channel, good work, keep it up guys !
My love for the spitfire is second only to the corsair
200k Video coming soon!
Looking forward to it,
WWII combat dynamics is about all this old brain can deal with these days!
Happy Hunting!

"High Yo-Yo" While watching your videos, I wondered what happend to this term. When I try to learn simulations in 90's, manuals always mentioned that yo-yo term.
ya its kind of an old world war 2 thing, doesn't really apply so much in the jet world at least not against a competent bandit.
it's essentially climbing in order to avoid overshooting a bandit and coming back down to shoot them again
Beautiful! Don't have the gear to do this kind of stuff but love to watch your video's. All those little scratches that appear in the glare of the sun don't seem historically accurate to me. You see lots of WW2 photos of ground crew cleaning windscreens and canopies to avoid just that. The fogging is a great effect.
Can easily get versions of the cockpit without the unrealistic (but cinematic) scratches. They pass IC so can be used online.
if you have a PC you can just buy a cheap HOTAS like the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro
Luving the new server setup :)
4:36 average warthunder pilot
This is a great concept. Can you do a modern version of this server GS?
yes, such a thing is indeed possible but will take time.
The B wing Spitfire only had four 0.303 calibre versus the P51's six 0.50 calibre. It will do less damage so may be about right. The A wing had eight 0.303 and the Mk. II-B wing Hurricane had 12 0.303 brownings for comparison.

Bring an F-35 or A-10 to a WW2 and see the chaos unfold
I can’t wait for the day there is a vietnam era in dcs with f8s, f4s, exc!!!!

8 german Luftwaffe pilots disliked this video.

Any chance we can see some Pacific theater action? Corsairs and Hellcats launching from carriers and engaging Zeroes should be pretty damn cool.
Negative not at this time brother those are not available in the sim at this time but maybe in the future
very awesome hunting/dogfighting!!!
What's that 109 made of - kryptonite? Must have been hit 30 times before he caught fire.
Nearly 200k let’s go
Awesome clips and commentary.
Whats this sim? An playing on what?

if you have the flight gear, il-2 has better performance and is the best ww2 flight sim available
So ↑↓↑↓↑↓↑↓ is the invulnerability code for the 109. good to know.
Can you please make some p-51 mustang merch I would buy that so fast
Wonder if you could shoot up the torpedoes while they are tracking in the water, before the hit a ship?? Thanks.
I wonder how many years from now it will take for me to start playing this game.
So fun and informative to watch man these mini films are gold! Thanks for the content!
Can't wait to play the mission .
Will there be any information system about friendly bombers missions? So I could flight escort missions?
ACES HIGH!!!

any ideas about hosting a server on other WW2 terrains? Very excited!
Can't wait to try this out.
Do the gunners of the big bommers shoot back? and can you man them? or can you only be a pilot?
Any plans on bringing in the Pacific war. Like to see the corsair.
I wished this map had a better performance optimization.
