    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 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.

      Just a couple of points:
      1. Flying during WW1 was better then the alternative which was getting shelled daily in the rat infested trenches, seeing your mates getting blown up, gassed, etc..
      2. at 14:08 when you talk about the Sopwith Dolphin, you were actually talking about is one oh the following: An Airco DH.4, a Bristol F2A, F2B, or one of the Royal Aircraft Factory aircraft: B.E.2a, B.E.2b, B.E.2c, B.E.2e, or R.E.8, as these were all two seater aircraft, whilst the Sopwith Dolphin was a single seater fighter.

    Most WW1 pilots up until things got desperate for Germany at the end were pretty chivalrous and likened themselves of knights of the skies. They did their best to disable the enemy planes without killing the pilot and there were stories of enemy planes flying over a crashed plane to ensure the enemy pilot was still alive (if the sky and ground were clear of enemies). There were pilots on both sides looking for blood, but many understood the danger and bravery of flying and saw themselves as jousters more than killers. Romance was still alive for a while.

    If you are interested in WW1 flying you should watch The Blue Max. It's a mid-1960s epic kind of movie like they used to make back then. Watching the trailer it looks pretty campy by today's standards but it really is a good movie. Lots of flying and combat along with the pilot codes of conduct issues. Parts of it are a slower pace and there's the requisite love story in it but overall it's a good watch.

      @@ToreDL87 oh, I agree in that regard. Most of the same basic principles apply, but everything is closer and slower, so probably easier for new pilots to see how everything works before moving up to modern jets where the fight can be over in seconds, and it can be tough reading subtle cues on the enemy plane.

    • @ToreDL87
      @ToreDL87 Год назад

      @@GrimaldiJ Correct, with WW1 combat you learn to read the situation & enemy's moves, a couple of weeks with a good gang online and you will see results, then you can translate that to WW2 & Jet combat and "level up" faster there as well.
      Much closer and much slower, so like you said, you learn to see the subtle cues sooner, you learn the important lessons way faster than if you were to basically be cannon fodder in jets or ww2 aircraft for months on end like what most people do these days.
      My point is, GS is already employing almost everything from WW1 air combat.

    My great grandfather was a mechanic in The Red Baron's squadron. My mom has a photograph of him (my grandfather, not Richthoven) in front of a bunch of planes (unfortunately, not the Fokker DR1.) In WW2, he operated spotlights while my great grandmother shot Flak 88s at bombers. I've always been a big fan of WW1 air combat. Looking forward to trying this out now that they have a campaign (and on sale lol.)

    The engineers who were able to design machine guns that were timed perfectly to not hit the propeller blades blow my mind.
    Can anyone explain how they were able to accomplish that?

    • @BlackFoxFalcon
      @BlackFoxFalcon Год назад +3

      In a very simplified way, the engineers connected the firing mechanism to the propeller shaft via a gearbox. Or something similar to one. It was constructed in a way that in between the propeller blades, a push rod was moved upwards via a protrusion on the prop shaft. Once it moved up, given that the pilot pulled the trigger, the forward mounted machine guns fired.

    • @GrowlingSidewinder
      @GrowlingSidewinder  Год назад

      I think it was some sort of interrupter connected to the propeller in the machine guy mechanism so every time a propeller was in front of the gun it wouldn’t fire.

    I own IL2 but I’m not good at managing energy… I understand the principles a little bit of energy management and not being able to turn all crazy to maintain speed without bleeding energy, but if I feel I get out turned every time.. and when I do try turning more I stall…. I feel that I lack training to fly these sim games lol

    • @debbiestimac5175
      @debbiestimac5175 Год назад +2

      You have to really, really understand the flight/performance envelope of your aircraft and your adversaries, to effectively manage energy in a dogfight. It is why study time is ten times or more, than seat time, today. Back then, the pilots were more or less on their own to figure things out and why they lasted minutes, instead of days, in many cases. The experienced pilots, like Growling here, ran roughshod around enemy aerodromes, picking of new fliers, that knew little of things as clearing six or using the sun or cloud hopping, to hide your approach to the enemy. Most that died, never saw them before the rounds started shredding their kite. Brave, brave, brave... cannon fodder.
