Oh my god... Has it really been almost two YEARS since this video was released!? It feels like it was yesterday. I am now re-watching all the videos and noticing that my time on this channel has gone by in a flash. Damn...
Nerdcubed, I have loved watching your videos for many years, but good god, you are a freak of nature for inverting your controls. Up is up. Down is down.
Soup4Dayz This game was made by Gaijin and its successor is War Thunder, as such when test flying or using the mission editor you can hear the same voices from this game
Very well done^^ Landing is really the second hardest tthing for a pilot to do, the worst is actually taking off, because there is no go around if you mess up.
Chocks are the triangle ramp things that they put in front of and behind the wheels of planes to keep them from rolling away. It has a very hard time rolling forwards with those still down.
Chalks are the wedge things that they put in front of air plane wheels to prevent them from rolling. "Chalks away" pretty much means "let's go", and as a result, the chalks are taken away.
Chocks away refers to the triangle blocks placed in front of and behind wheels of a plane to stop it rolling. In order to take off the chocks need to be removed, hence chocks away.
normals are up is up? well there was a game that the walking was up is down but no option and in flying games i like up is down but if the normal (infantry) does not have a seperate option then i will go up is up while flying
chocks are logs attached to ropes that are used to keep a plane or vehicle still on the ground, "chocks away" means to remove the chocks to allow the vehicle to move, generally so a plane can take off.
In landing taildraggers you aim to put all wheels on the ground at the same time just as the aircraft stalls, touching the rear or front wheels first is laughed at as a bad landing, usually referred to as a "two pointer" or "three pointer depending on whether the front wheels touch down together or individually.
Charles Dark interestingly, these are the ones with the terrible american allison engines as opposed to the Rolls Royce Merlin that made the Mustang MkIIIs and P-51Ds the iconic american symbols they are. They were hated by the RAF and quickly got rid of.
13:15 - used for aircraft and trailers, used to 'lock' the wheel in place, if you chock your boat in your driveway, you probably use a brick or similar
NerdCubed challenges: Land a P-38 Lightning ON A BRIDGE 1. The P-38 has really stupid tricycle landing gear. There is one wheel in the front, and two wheels in the middle. 2. It has a long tail, which is a guaranteed tail-strike. 3. It's a big plane. 4. You couldn't even land on a bridge in a little Spitfire, so this is extra-hardcore,
the best American war-plane is either the P-51 Mustang which was a fighter plane mainly used to combat the advanced air force of the japanese and suceeded in outclassing the japanese planes or the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress which is exactly what it sounds like (and interestingly enough was the influence for the AC-130 Airship only much MUCH larger as it was around the same size as a 747 jumbo jet)
Chocks hold the aircraft on the aircraft carrier so the aircraft doesn't roll away. I think they use these at airfields too to keep wind from blowing the landed aircraft away.
How to land: decrease speed, extend flaps, gear down, lower altitude, land on either back wheel or all wheels at same time, and add brakes to stop. Nerdcubed version: land at top speed without landing gear with nose down
its so weird seeing him fly on the same map, 7 years ago, on Wings of Prey, as the same map that I play on in War Thunder today. lol
Dude its the same game, this IS alpha WarThunder.
Exactly but he sould have used the me262 a1 u4 with the 50mm Canon that is basically just a flying tank destroyers
for me it's how i watched this when it came out, played the demo a ton on the 360, eventually got a PC and now I have like 5k hours in war thunder :3

"Blow up Canterbury, I've always wanted to do that."
Dan is on a list.
Just like how this video is 19 minutes and 39 seconds long.
19:39.
1939.
More that "a list if I may say so" xD
Yup
A list of reasonable people?
And so am I ☹️
This is based off of WW2, and look at how long the video is...

You know, even after eight years, this game is a pure masterpiece when it comes to graphics
I am hoping it comes to backwards comparability on new Xbox
@@jamesbrigance9191 It's on Steam for $10, if you've got a pc
u gotta see how it's spiritual successor looks now, and on the same engine no less
I beleive im correct in saying that this game then gave birth to WarThunder??
Idk but it looks the same
BoP and WoP I think was responsible for Gaijin making WT.
Ye. Ikr
caúse i was like: wep, isnt that from wt? xD
Ryan Fowler WEP means War emergency power and was widely used in the second world war so that's not war thunder copyrighted xD
9 years since this came out...
next year, it’ll be a decade...
oh my...
why bomb anything when you can just throw dan in a plane and tell him to land!
because it would only work once
The Uber Blade the Japanese managed it
It would also cost more
But what Dan didn't realize his greatest enemy was not the flying teletubbie it was the trees and...the ground..everything, really..
His worst enemy was pretty much himself I think :P
Oh my god... Has it really been almost two YEARS since this video was released!? It feels like it was yesterday. I am now re-watching all the videos and noticing that my time on this channel has gone by in a flash. Damn...

7 years
God in 3 year it’ll have been a decade
"People who can't aim", we've seen your CS videos Dan, you shouldn't be talking... :P
The last words he said before he died: "SIDEWAYS! SIDEWAYS! SIDEWAYS!"
I got in trouble for watching this in the library at school when I was young.
Lol, WarThunder before it became an MMO.
And I'm pretty sure WT has more than 1 server and no mid game breaks and stuff
Kaneki Ken
that does not decide if its an MMO or not.
It does
That's like saying CoD is and RPG
If it has more than one server and a point where a the game is in between rounds, it's not an MMO
Nerdcubed, I have loved watching your videos for many years, but good god, you are a freak of nature for inverting your controls. Up is up. Down is down.
Ahh I love watching videos from the golden age of nerd3
Leave it to dan to spend 3 minuets learning how to take off
Masoko Senpai Dan takes 30 minutes on trying to land :/
Flies towards the capital of Germany and yells "Die Frenchies!!!"
Dan's un-altered logic
I love Dan's R2-D2 noises
Honestly this was the most entertaining video I've seen in weeks.
"That big Earth scuffle that we had." Easily the greatest description of WW2 ever.
This game seems like War Thunder with some spiffy camera angles and no tanks.
it came way before war thunder, and for a good amount of time in war thunder there were no player-controlled ground vehicles.
vuk psodorov
I am aware of both of those pieces of information.

Ah.
Striker Raiser Also same music

I love the way dan attack a bomber formation from the tail.
Oh my war thunder before it was called war thunder...
the gun range on the Spitfire is about 500M. i love how Dan is firing 1K away

this video isn't 10 years old... don't tell me that...

*Chocks.
Ah, my bad.
nice job of name consistence
IL-2 1946 remains my favorite in the series. Good modding scene too.
Not to mention that planes dont spontaniously explode when landing.
Chocks away refers to the triangle blocks placed in front of and behind wheels of a plane to stop it rolling. In order to take off the chocks need to be removed, hence chocks away.
"That big earth scuffle"
Actually the two types of people in video games are freaks(people who invert) and normals(people who don't invert)
normals are up is up? well there was a game that the walking was up is down but no option and in flying games i like up is down but if the normal (infantry) does not have a seperate option then i will go up is up while flying
I'm ultra weird, I never invert the mouse but if flying using a joystick or WASD then I always invert.
***** like me
***** wait people invert there
mouse NORMALY?!?!?
Tony Stark EXAMPLE BF vietnam i fly up is up because wasd but console analog sticks i fly up is down

insert joke about Dan using his "joystick"...
T'is a stick of Joy, i said many years ago.
Now its a stick of joy in VR!
"Have a war they said, with Germany they said" even tho his enemies are Mustang Mark 1...
as a new pilot, this makes me smile everytime i watch it daily
"Doing an English accent hurts my throat." - Dan 2k12
I'm from the future! (2017) and somehow I must have missed (or forgotten to like) this one. OMG it's funny!
Now you're from the very past
Dan: "Page up! Page dow-"
Radio guy: "- ready to target"
Dan: Worryingly "Wot?"
Radio guy: "Let's get moving!"
"english channel, well that just sounds like water."
it took me 9 years to get that joke.
Holy crap the shit show Gaijin would turn thus into. For those unaware Wings of Prey turns into War Thunder.
What's wrong with war thunder? And also they are still different games but wings of prey was the origin of their flight engine
I just came back to this video after years of not realising that war thunder a game I play regularly used to be this
Is this... War Thunder?
MrDuelMind nope same company older game
MrDuelMind NOOOOOOOOoOO
@@svenzo1199 WT and WoP are literally the same games, minus all the tanks and ships
That was an epic landing montage
I'm just imagining some poor farmer waking up to the sound of "hAAAAAAAAY" *BWOOOOM*
"Have a war they said, With Germany they said" Hm... Those are Mustangs...They are American aircraft. /:
+Charles Dark (Awsomefastepickiller) Who needed Americans, anyway...
Yeah, Who needs Mustangs when you have Chaikas, KV-2s and flying KV-2s?
actually the mustang mk 1a, the ones he was shooting down, was a British variant provided by the US
Oh.
Thanks for the clarification.
Charles Dark interestingly, these are the ones with the terrible american allison engines as opposed to the Rolls Royce Merlin that made the Mustang MkIIIs and P-51Ds the iconic american symbols they are. They were hated by the RAF and quickly got rid of.
Berlin, France... Napoleon would be proud
i remember when i frist found this channel after watching his 13 ways to die with a link to this video and now he is my favorite video
I HAD THIS but I can't anymore I loved this game
How is inversion normal!? It's pull down to look up and up to look down!
then you cannot aim
I can aim fine
excuses excuses.
Because it's pull back and forward not up and down
War thunder single player version, derp
yeah...no this is made before war thunder so war thunder is more of a multiplayer version of this :L
13:15 - used for aircraft and trailers, used to 'lock' the wheel in place, if you chock your boat in your driveway, you probably use a brick or similar
I make a pilgrimage to this video every year
No wonder this seemed so familiar! It's made by Gajin! I wonder if this game has Russian bias as well?
nope
Maybe
Play war thunder, it's has the same engine as this game but free
It's more than just the same engine, most of the aircraft models and flight physics are directly ported over from WoP as well.
DAN!!!!, Do A Day In The Life Of Nerdcubed Sort of thing! PLEASE!!
That last mission for the life of me i can't beat in War Thunder but dan just does it here when he has no idea what hes doing... goddammit.
Why does this looks and feel exactly like Warthunder???
War Thunder was known as Wings of Prey before it became War Thunder.
War Thunder was based off of Wings of Prey, which was known as IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey in North America
War thunder was more developed on Birds of Steel, which itself came from Birds of Prey.
Frederik sh Because this and WT are both made by Gaijin
play war thunder
chocs are the wedge like bits that stop the plane wheels from rolling on the ground.
yes the the front gear(also called main gear) under the wings then as you slow down the tail wheel will touch down
Welcome to a clone of war thunder unless it’s the other way round and unless it’s the same people
Big dumb dumb
wow, this looks a lot like war thunder’s flying mode. just.... older
Chocks are like the little covers on the gun to keep them warm and the external fuel tanks.
Idk if trolling or just thinks he knows -_-
I just laughed like crazy when you tried to land
Best landing tutorial EVER!!!
+1 subscriber cheers.
"Destroy all the one hundred and nine ess..." Knowing what i know about planes I died laughing when you said that
Video is 5 years old.
I subbed to Dan before it came out.
I feel really old now.
NerdCubed challenges: Land a P-38 Lightning ON A BRIDGE
1. The P-38 has really stupid tricycle landing gear. There is one wheel in the front, and two wheels in the middle.
2. It has a long tail, which is a guaranteed tail-strike.
3. It's a big plane.
4. You couldn't even land on a bridge in a little Spitfire, so this is extra-hardcore,
6 years later and this game is still very nice graphically
on Ps3 this game is called IL*2 Sturmovik Brids of Prey
Oh god I'm watching this while i'm sick and the laughter hurts ;-;
the best American war-plane is either the P-51 Mustang which was a fighter plane mainly used to combat the advanced air force of the japanese and suceeded in outclassing the japanese planes or the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress which is exactly what it sounds like (and interestingly enough was the influence for the AC-130 Airship only much MUCH larger as it was around the same size as a 747 jumbo jet)
I would love to see him play WarThunder!
It's so Dan for him to hum the American Field Artillery March whilst flying a Spitfire
chocs are the thing you place under the wheels to stop the air craft from filing away
"Oh, they're gone, I'm still alive though- *HAY!"*
I have this game for Xbox 360 but it's called IL 2 STURMOVIK BIRDS OF PREY.
I have this but it's called birds of steel
Fuck me, completely forgot about Dad's Army. Thanks for reminding me, I'm off to re-watch.
Il-2 sturmovik wings of prey is named after Ilyushin-2 Sturmovik, one of the primary Soviet fighters of ww2
Star Fox corrupted our minds about what a barrel-roll is.
"Oh there gone, its ok we're still flying, HAAAAAEEEEYYY" crash. LOL
Stupid hay...
That field is full of burning spitfires.......
Decided to search up the Wingman attack 2, Looks cool and futuristic.
I remember playing this game every time I came home from school with my brother on the Wii
i got this game in a second hand store 5 years ago on cd ON CD
We miss you.
Dan sounds like R2-D2 when he gets scared or yells.
the crew 2 reminded me of this so I came back to it.
at least we got a good montage at the end!
The IL-2 series was amazing you should play Sturmovik 1978
Chocks hold the aircraft on the aircraft carrier so the aircraft doesn't roll away. I think they use these at airfields too to keep wind from blowing the landed aircraft away.
Considering the way I play Birds Of Steel involves me always taking off and always landing,the last few minutes were both amusing and aggravating .
He says "Bally ho, Jerry!" while shooting at P-51 Mustangs.
this guy cheer me up very easy
I love this game!
I like how dan screams like r2d2 when he is about to crash
