@I Hate Pringle Cans They're accurate. Not as nimble but they're good if you know how to use 'em. They used to do like Zeroes would against the wildcat. They'd fly straight up and the enemy would stall out and you could flip over and snatch em
Of all the War Thunder Fan Videos, this one is by far, head and shoulders above the rest. It not only has movie quality action but has a story line, characters to root for or boo against. As a person that has written Fan Fiction for other MMO's I find this refreshing to see the detail and work put into it! Bravo to you Sir!
4:00 That part is based on a real event a P-38 pilot had to do. His plane was diving to the ground and he lost control, at the last second he pulled up but then found a 109 on his tail when he was headed back to the airfield.
***** It would of been very emotional if Ben Rogers had the 190 on his tail, about to finish him. Then a close squad mate comes and rams the 190. Sacrificing his life for Ben's.
Wait a second. I know I'm over two years late to the party, but: You let your five year old kid watch a video in which a load of people get hurt and die - even if just implied by planes going down in blazes of fire - and that is about a war that has brought so much death, destruction and unbelievable atrocities to humanity. But you don't let your child hear swear words? Get the fuck out. And yes, I said fuck. Boo hoo.
Gamevid4 my 5 year old little brother loves this vid, I let him play what is basically a mobile War Thunder, Wings of Duty. Its just as realistic, historical, and has planes, tanks, and boats all in the same match! Paid $5.00 for an Ace P-38, and was not dissappointed ! Thank you for the amazing video!
I absolutely adored this it got my adrenaline pumping (esp. the last 3-4 mins) the only thing I noticed that I could have wished for is just add a couple decals on the main planes (Ben's P-38 and the last enemy Bf-109 and maybe the P-38s who saved Ben in the beginning) just so the pilots and the planes had more of a character. For example, if you put a nose art on them or a victory mark or a inscription or something historical to make it look like the planes fighting mainly weren't just some random Bf 109 or P-38. Overall, excellent work on this my friend and you deserve the 133,000 views and 2,300 likes. P.S.: I don't even know what to say to anyone who disliked this, oh well I guess we all have our own opinions :L
I honestly have to say, this is one of the best fan films for warthunder ive ever seen, i've got goosebumps because of it! xD Well done mate, well done!
"Make sure my family gets the last letter i wrote...And tell them i got 4 of 'em before i went down" That's when the tears started coming in... So touching. This is a truly amazing video...
Wow this is an amazing movie. I had chills on my neck the whole time i watched it. You did amazing with the music, the story, everything. An all around amazing video. Good job!
One interesting way to get out of a dive is to turn off your throttle because that will speed you up towards the ground, turn on your air breaks because the dive is causing you to gain speed, and use the rudder and spin the plane as slowly as possible. It will pull you out of your dive. Ive gone into a dive in the PBY-5a as I was rolling to my left and got my engine knocked out. I lost control as I plummeted to the ground, but used these tips (didn't have air-breaks so it was harder to stay at a speed where my plane didnt rip apart.) and i was able to turn using my rudder and rolled until my plane was level. I made it back to base for repairs.
What I saw; -A P-38 tanking many hits -Numerous Bf 109s splattering apart like Zeroes flying in hail. Appreciate the effort though, this seems a bit one-sided.
Nice film! Loved the part were the BF109 pilot said "Impossible!" Then when he said "Check your six" that made it awesome as the P-38 just blasted away! As usual, great film
Man, what a f**king amazing video. Just like WOW, it felt like I was the one in the pilot seat going through all of that. The fighting,the radio chatter everything is amazing! I love the little touch of the engine restart using FRB! Don't stop making videos, incredible!
This film made me think...can something be better than this....i must make it...this was first film i ever watched in war thunder and i still love it :) Now i am makeing my own film for year and a half and i would like to thank you for inspiration :)
TheLordGosicSRB Awesome! Send me a link when you are done I love watching others work, there is some great talent out there. Thanks for watching my videos:-)
Funfact: All P-38 Lightnings in the European theatre were shot down. The Germans referred to it as the "Fork-Tailed Devil" due to it's high speed, maneuverability, and armerment
Hey man, I am a fellow war thunder player- as some people may argue the realism of your story, I find it highly entertaining. Great piece you have here, and thank you for putting it together for us. This is truly amazing.
Great video man. I love the story of it. Amazing how you got that P-38 to take a beating, I fly any of my US planes and with the slightest touch of a bullet, it goes down, hell even the wind kills me.
Actually the Germans had a jet called the Heinkel 178 in 1939. It wasn't used as a fighter, but it is extremely important to the development of jet fighters. The first operational jet fighter was the Me 262 "Shwalbe" (Swallow in English) and was used by Germany in WW2. It was first used on July 26, 1944 where it damaged a British Mosquito.
Pudding german patriotism? What's that? ;) (yeah I'm german). But you're right - for me this is too much "Hooray! We're from 'Murica!" and not enough well ... war feeling. Also their german voice was terible!
Pudding As much as I love to ridicule stupid Americans for their hypocritical "we-are-always-good" over-patriotism, you gotta admit, saying the words "German patriotism" while referring to the years of WWII makes you kind kind of like a Nazi sympathizer.
what i can say ... BRAVO !!! good music choice , nice history and great manoeuvres . i love it !!! but i have a question , why the P38 and not an other one ? there is a lot of "known" historical planes that u can use in this wonderful footage ( P51 , corsair, P45 ... ).
MisterRicola yeah. If you just look at the german ratio between lost and shot down planes. The pilot in this video was probably from the Sonderkommando Elbe
+MisterRicola And if you stop being idiot for 1 minute, you can then realise it was all for the video purpose. What's the other solution : German pilot who aims well, then the video stops 5 minutes earlier.... great... pfff
I may be almost 7 years late but this was sooo good, I gotta say, your son has very good piloting skills, If I were to go against him, I would've lost, This has to be by far the best War Thunder fan film I have ever seen, Great Job!!
Well actually, stat wise, yes, but in an actual WWII scenario, especially in the stormy conditions depicted, the BF109 would take massive hits from the wind, and it would be impossible for it to aim. This wouldn't be true for the P-38, as it is much heavier and more responsive.
Despite my German ethnicity I would have fought for the allies back then. However the amount of British and American patriotism that is put into this stuff is ridiculous and unwanted. There are no rights and wrongs in war.
If it had not already been recreated to perfection by Nassault, I would have made a video about my favorite moment in the entire war. The story of Franz Stigler and his act of mercy and heroism is unsurpassed. If you have not seen Nassault's Stigler video it is a work of art. Every time I watch it I shed a tear...no joke.
It feels like those action movies where the hero is pretty much dead, there's literally no chance for him to overcome his situation... then bamm, happy ending. Either way, this was very well done, I really enjoyed this video.
that move where ben got behind that last 109 clearly shows this was in arcade mode, with how bad he was shot and and the p-38s low manuverability that would of been inpossible
This is truly the best game footage short story I've ever seen the voice acting was a little off, but my goodness if this isn't the best directed warthunder video. I'll keep this one next to the heroes trailer.
Awesome! One of the best War Thunder video i have ever seen. I liked and suscribed! I love the radio chatter between the pilots. Great work. Keep it up!
That's the point, the control surfaces of the aircraft are limited when at higher altitudes with a plane like the P-38, its unlikely that he would ever get his engine running again at high altitude, the denser air helped get it started.
The Video was Cool Bruh :3 I like the voice of the BF109 Pilot,Would it be Cool if there would be a German Perspective Film? :D I know a Good Story: I German Young Pilot in the Early Years of War Met an Ace Bf109 Pilot But then.....every year....He Met a lot of Differ Kinds of German Pilots in the War,to FW-190 to ME262
One of the pluses of having a large maneuverable aircraft is that the damage is spread over a wider area in comparison to smaller fighter, the P-38 could take far more hits (as long as its not hitting modules of importance). Don't put all your eggs in one basket as they say.
Man I remember watching this in 2017
It still is one of my my favorites.
that Bf 109 pilot should learn some defensive flying from Messer_Smitt
Sadly that P38 is not so effective in War Thunder as it looks here
dont know back then, but at least last two years it has personally been effective as hell
Well you can't make fast maneuvers and it falls apart way too fast under enemy fire ):
Also, there have been many updates since then.
@I Hate Pringle Cans They're accurate. Not as nimble but they're good if you know how to use 'em. They used to do like Zeroes would against the wildcat. They'd fly straight up and the enemy would stall out and you could flip over and snatch em
**cough** Takaleon **cough**
2:18 the bf109 pilot did something wrong : never go head 2 head with a p38
+Wabawoo The II I never liked the Messerschmitt until I got the F-4 with the wing cannons :D Still more of a FW-190 guy
***** Tbh F-4 maxed out is the only one I really use, good job Im going the 190 route :D
***** Good for you man, A-4 is my go too
+Orlando Mahendrepersad He also made the mistake to bring a BF109...
i did a dogfight with a p38 i flipped my plane and hit him from the muddle so he burned out

Thank you for not cursing in this video. My 5 year old loves it.
No problem. No cursing in any of my videos. I have kids too:-)

Thanks!
7 years ago but YT will still recommend it
That was an epic video. Nice work!
Very well done! Extremely intense, suspenseful and well-produced. The final dogfight scene had my eyes glued to the screen!
wow
Hi
FC
I still remember as a kid always wanting to play war thunder after I watched this
And then you play it and you get blown up by a plane you never saw from a kilometer away lol
So far I find this one the best fan-made movie of WarThuder!
As the german pilot said: "Impossible." Though you've shown otherwise, mate ;)
Thank you!
Your welcome.
Say, did you fly that US-lightning fighter/attacker by yourself?
***** 10/10
Good Movie
***** What were the graphic settings?
Rafael Correia Everything on ultra, but the rainy setting made it look a little less
Who is here 7 years after this was uploaded

One interesting way to get out of a dive is to turn off your throttle because that will speed you up towards the ground, turn on your air breaks because the dive is causing you to gain speed, and use the rudder and spin the plane as slowly as possible. It will pull you out of your dive. Ive gone into a dive in the PBY-5a as I was rolling to my left and got my engine knocked out. I lost control as I plummeted to the ground, but used these tips (didn't have air-breaks so it was harder to stay at a speed where my plane didnt rip apart.) and i was able to turn using my rudder and rolled until my plane was level. I made it back to base for repairs.
This is so sick! love the radio chatter! :D
"I got a hole in my right wing!"
"....... Bailing out!..........."
"Mayday, Mayday!"
YOU GOT A HOLE IN YOUR LEFT WING
Damn that 109 went full pinata!
That 109 should've ran out of ammo but it didn't? This ain't arcade, it's simulator battles, ain't it?
Lol no
It was most likely a custom battle with realistic controls
What I saw;
-A P-38 tanking many hits
-Numerous Bf 109s splattering apart like Zeroes flying in hail.
Appreciate the effort though, this seems a bit one-sided.
Boohoo, P-38s aren’t giant bombs
Holy SHIT Game...you make absolutely outstanding movies. In the dive scene I nearly tore off my chair arms in suspense.
Thanks man. I have an equally intense Arma 3 movie coming out soon too. Thanks for watching:-)
Nice film! Loved the part were the BF109 pilot said "Impossible!" Then when he said "Check your six" that made it awesome as the P-38 just blasted away! As usual, great film
Reminds me the good old days of WWII Flight simulator
If I didn't know it was War Thunder, I would believe this was a trailer for a Hollywood movie that I could see in Theaters. Amazing Job!
Owsome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man you great !!
Man, what a f**king amazing video. Just like WOW, it felt like I was the one in the pilot seat going through all of that. The fighting,the radio chatter everything is amazing!
I love the little touch of the engine restart using FRB!
Don't stop making videos, incredible!

HEY DUDE, THAT'S AWESOME!!!
Tomáš Hanza who are ya talking to?
yes, this was the 1st war Thunder movie I've seen
Good work! Deserves more views for sure.
Funfact: All P-38 Lightnings in the European theatre were shot down. The Germans referred to it as the "Fork-Tailed Devil" due to it's high speed, maneuverability, and armerment
also fun fact, that is entirely untrue aside from the nickname. www.joebaugher.com/usaf_fighters/p38_17.html
This is insane! Great job to whoever made this!
Thanks!
wow pretty cool like a true movie ^^
Hey man, I am a fellow war thunder player- as some people may argue the realism of your story, I find it highly entertaining. Great piece you have here, and thank you for putting it together for us. This is truly amazing.
how did he do that scene with the one engine failure and restarting
slayer 0160 by shutting off the engine and then restarting it by pressing i
man that was intense, really felt like I was there. great job.
Great job, nothing else to say about that.
Awesome mate!! that was the most epic of all machinima of War Thunder
It's so good that I cry!
Speed King 유용대
Great video man. I love the story of it. Amazing how you got that P-38 to take a beating, I fly any of my US planes and with the slightest touch of a bullet, it goes down, hell even the wind kills me.
is this war thunder on ultra low?
Still looks better than WoWP.
ExplosiveRocketTurtle dont compare that game LOL
ryan paz That's a game? I thought it was just a test to see how bad of a game they could make.
On ultra high settings but rainy weather scenarios do not look as good as sunny from a graphical standpoint. Try watching on 1080p as well.
***** Yeah it doesn't look like ultra low, the joke was just there. :P
So realistic you can feel touched and the anxiety. AMAZING!
first JET FIGHTER was developed and builed by germans 1944 or 1945 not sure by the ebd of WW2
It was built with piston engines in 1941 and jet engines in 1942 but wasn't introduced until mid 1944.
Actually the Germans had a jet called the Heinkel 178 in 1939. It wasn't used as a fighter, but it is extremely important to the development of jet fighters. The first operational jet fighter was the Me 262 "Shwalbe" (Swallow in English) and was used by Germany in WW2. It was first used on July 26, 1944 where it damaged a British Mosquito.
Imagine this recreated now, with all the updates and that, would look quite different
Awesome man! :D

Klobi for President Yeah but WWII especially.
Sean Anderson I know :/
yet Hitler taught me a lot. How to give a speech for instance. And he created thousands of jobs. /offtopic
That was one of the best war thunder videos I've seen, great job.
what i can say ... BRAVO !!!
good music choice , nice history and great manoeuvres . i love it !!!
but i have a question , why the P38 and not an other one ? there is a lot of "known" historical planes that u can use in this wonderful footage ( P51 , corsair, P45 ... ).
the engine issue , make it more "cool"
P-38's are in my opinion the most bad ass looking planes of WW2
They were my favorite and allways will be
LeTrollFace21 i think the Sea Fury is a pretty epic plane
@@bilge677 i think the f6f is
the german pilot is way to bad at aiming, makes it look ridiculous
MisterRicola do you mean: Yeah ... germans were sh't or: Yeah ... that was sh*t in this video. ?
that was shit in this video
MisterRicola yeah. If you just look at the german ratio between lost and shot down planes.

i think it the best of its kind
and i truly loved that second comeback when that bf109 was hasing him
best film ever
Me watch
incradable story! very good montage
So stupid how the german can't aim
+Old glory u have seen to much movies the german pilots where the best in ww2
+Joris Deddens Because they were
+Joris Deddens You misinterpreted my comment. I'm calling the video stupid for making the german a sucky aimer
+Old glory oh sry :P
+Old glory it's on purpose dummy, so the video last a bit longer, otherwise it's boring. "must.use.brain.sometimes"
I may be almost 7 years late but this was sooo good, I gotta say, your son has very good piloting skills, If I were to go against him, I would've lost, This has to be by far the best War Thunder fan film I have ever seen, Great Job!!
fake story BF-109 vs P-38c = BF winner in real story
Well actually, stat wise, yes, but in an actual WWII scenario, especially in the stormy conditions depicted, the BF109 would take massive hits from the wind, and it would be impossible for it to aim. This wouldn't be true for the P-38, as it is much heavier and more responsive.
Awesome, amazing talent and flying. That was inspiration.
Despite my German ethnicity I would have fought for the allies back then. However the amount of British and American patriotism that is put into this stuff is ridiculous and unwanted. There are no rights and wrongs in war.

Here you go:

Best Fan Film ever made in my opinion. It is a true story.
***** Thank you so much for that.
I beg to differ.
It feels like those action movies where the hero is pretty much dead, there's literally no chance for him to overcome his situation... then bamm, happy ending.
Either way, this was very well done, I really enjoyed this video.
good work but i don"t like the story . 2 US super-hero and bad german pilot . Pfff not original ...
that move where ben got behind that last 109 clearly shows this was in arcade mode, with how bad he was shot and and the p-38s low manuverability that would of been inpossible
Paweł Bednarek it was way less manuverable than the BF 109. It was too heavy and would have broken into parts in reality.
THIS WAS FREAKIN AWESOME!
this dude deserves a fan Oscar this is my childhood thank you (i search 7 years to fan film)
i love those voice actors, they sound much better then the war thunder dialogues that u hear all the time :)
Well put together,very enjoyable
+Trevor Myers Thanks!
That's an amazing film you should be really proud of that
"I've lost control of the aircraft" then replace the batteries in your mouse/controler.
*You will leave the aircraft in 10s*
Even though I commented to late and only saw it today it’s a 10/10 beauty
And Dat voice of pilots. How many fun videos i have seen with so good voice actors?
It's best of the all fun videos with planes i ever seen for sure
You need to do another one with the new graphics
This is truly the best game footage short story I've ever seen the voice acting was a little off, but my goodness if this isn't the best directed warthunder video. I'll keep this one next to the heroes trailer.
Nice story! Some entertaining 9 minutes :)
I really like your film !
This is an awesome work, I hope see more of your fan films ! ;)
Man with nothing more than just replays... man 10 out of 5
Thank you very much! This video show me War Thunder. I testet it and play it now since three years and it´s already my favorit game
Awesome! One of the best War Thunder video i have ever seen.
I liked and suscribed! I love the radio chatter between the pilots. Great work. Keep it up!
8:52 BF109 CRASH
Thats excellent!
Thanks!
This. Is. War Thunder!!!!!!
Most Epic World war II. simulation ever!
Best WarThunder video I've ever seen (and probably from many other games too). You sir have a like and a new subscriber.
Great Job! This clip gave me goosebumps! I haven't ever seen a warthunder fan video better than this. You have amazing skills.
Awesome that your family helps in the creation of these videos.

GREAT!! Good job! ;)
This is a fery nice story
the fire on the right wing went out because he said "it's not over yet" lol
The german voice actor did an amazing job he really brought the role to life ;)
4:52 BF109
The Video was Cool Bruh :3
I like the voice of the BF109 Pilot,Would it be Cool if there would be a German Perspective Film? :D
I know a Good Story:
I German Young Pilot in the Early Years of War Met an Ace Bf109 Pilot
But then.....every year....He Met a lot of Differ Kinds of German Pilots in the War,to FW-190 to ME262
That was amazing. Very good. Keep it up
I have no more words this is the best fan made film ive ever seen truely amaizing
That'll be one hell of a story for his grand children
One of the pluses of having a large maneuverable aircraft is that the damage is spread over a wider area in comparison to smaller fighter, the P-38 could take far more hits (as long as its not hitting modules of importance). Don't put all your eggs in one basket as they say.
A great short! Didn't overuse camera angles, perfect audio balance of voice-overs and music, nice cinematography use of tension. Thumbs up!
