- Let's resume the series with a very challenging match up against Ace a.i. pilots. This one will not disappoint. Subscribe to keep current with the Ace series and the Gun Camera.
Legendary Curtiss toughness saves the day! One of your better fights, great fight.
👍
The Ki-43-Ic makes it even more challenging. That version of the "Oscar" has a pair of 13mm heavy machine guns in the cowling. I flew the P-36 against one of those in my own "Aces" series, and it was definitely not an easy victory.
A very tough fight indeed. So when I looked thru the Ki-43's in game i did not select the c with the 13mm HMG's because the Curtiss was a late 1930's war plane. The Ki's landed quite a few shots. I do not see any way to fly a mission against them and not expect to be hit.
Great shots on those reversals, hard to get any other shot against a Ki43!
That was some first rate dogfighting !! Excellent flying and shooting !!
Survived after taking a few hits, thanks for watching.
Great job! Those Ki-43s are super maneuverable.
yes I think they can out turn the zero
incredible flying with the hawk. id be dead already.
Wow... I did that Hawk 3D model like well over 20 years ago.
Like trying to fight a bi- or even a tri-plane! And with only .30's very challenging. Certainly illustrates the significant challenges of early and even mid-war aviators against skilled opponents in those maneuverable yet deadly aircraft.
Good battle! Those Hyabusas are deadlier turn fighters than Zeros.
I am amazed how well they can turn they make zero's look like P47's. I am fortunate they were only armed with .30 cal machine guns.
That was like a nightmare. That damn Ki-43 just turns crazy fast, he was on you like stink on shit. But you somehow pulled it off, big congratulations!
How to dogfight a KI-43 or Zero in a P-36:
Step 1: try to force overshoot
Step 2: *PRAY*
That would be correct :)
👍👍👍
I've read the Mtk IV Mohawk could turn with the Ki-43. Two very evenly matched aircraft. Zero had speed and armament on the P-36 Hawks, but not manueverability.
Your wingman wasn't that much of a help. With 4.15 did you install a mods folder before or after the 4.15.1 update ?
Before only because it was before the update was out and I have yet to install it.
@@callsignnictmere465 Okay thanks, I just spent the morning re-installing 4.15.1 stock as yet. Confirmed that mods folder works when patched up to date.
@@gsherlock Good to hear that. I have to admit Team Daidlos upgrades have been pretty much meh. After adding the mod folder and placing various mods in I have to say 4.15 is very playable.
Here is a list of mods I currently use:

It really makes for a good game. I have also tried out more mods that just did not work out they caused the game to crash You can experiment around like I did and just keep the working mods that you like.
@@callsignnictmere465 Appreciate the list thanks.
