Would love to see some F-4/Zero content. I'm not familiar with IL2 so I don't know if that's possible, but there it is. Thanks so much for making these! I'm absolutely loving the WWII content!
My grandpa flew 26 missions over Germany and occupied France during WWII as a pilot in the B-17 with the 423rd Bomb Squadron, 306 Bombardment Group, 8th Air Force out of Thurleigh, England, and when I asked him on which German aircraft he feared most, he said without hesitation it was the FW-190. He passed in '93. I miss fishing with him and having conversations with him about aviation and the planes he flew.
It’s got huge firepower and is very fast in a straight line and a dive,definitely something to be fearful of. It would not be conducive to good mental health to see one of these with the jump on you at full speed even in a P51 or spitfire.
My great grandad was also a B 17 pilot! He flew around 14 missions before he was shot down in the North Sea. He was the only survivor. They were shot down by a BF 109 if I'm not mistaken, although it may have been a 190.
@@ThatProduceGuy_ It'd probably be quite stressful to see any fighter at all jump at you from above. Whatever it is: a 190, a 109, a Spit or a Mustang, a La or a Yak, you're most likely wasted.
My great grandad trained pilots In the South Pacific for the New Zealand airforce. He was bummed out because he didn’t make it through his schools entrance exam so he couldn’t be be a pilot. He died in 2016
As an aircraft mechanic, I'd just like to say that the P-51 that bent its prop most likely bent the crankshaft, considering the prop stopped spinning (meaning the engine stopped). Fixing that is a full engine rebuild, much more than just replacing the prop
@@GrowlingSidewinder If the parts are on site and the mechanics worked 'round the clock, it'd probably take a day or two to fix. That pilot also probably shit his pants. So you can put half a kill mark on the plane ;)
@@thepinkplushie and if it maxed out the suspension then the excess force had to go somewhere. the entire airframe would need inspection. practically speaking at the frontline of a warzone, that plane is likely scrapped for parts.
I really love the VR WWII stuff GS. Please continue to make them, even as a labor of love if necessary. They are so fun, and you are incredibly good with the stick even in these old planes, it never really gets old.
Warbirds are always appreciated. I'd like to see you fly some of the aircraft that aren't as popular. There's plenty of aircraft in IL-2 that we haven't seen you fly like the HS129, The Hornisse, Hurricane, BF110 and some of the Junkers.
All your content is awesome but there's a special place in my heart for WWII aircraft and dogfights. I'd love to see more me 262, me163, bf 109. Pretty much any WWII content.
Love all of your WWII content GS, please keep it coming. Love all the content, but it's great how you mix it up for us. Also really enjoy the little bit of a history lesson you give at the beginning of each video
With one of the bomber kills, you see the plane jettison it’s bombs before the crew bails out. So with the bombers that you hit and they exploded, I suppose it’s possible that you were detonating the bomb loads (though with multiple 500 pound bombs, I’d imagine that those things going off inside the bomb bay would turn the plane into confetti).
Iv watched your il2 videos😂 time and time again while reflecting on my afternoon VR IL2 sorties and still get so excited when I here you voice over with amazing video quality and proper (VR) tracking. Thank you so much for the enjoyment you bring to my weekend evenings.
Just ordered an HP Reverb G2 and still waiting for my Virpil HOTAS/P.....really looking forward to playing some IL-2 and Star Citizen! And yes! More WWII/Cold War!!
Aerial combat then is a combination of beauty and tragedy at the same time. Devastating that target aircraft and letting your guns rip him to bits is quite a beauty too, though human lives is indeed lost every time that bullet chew the target aircraft to bits.
Great informative videos on this aspect of life. Though the greatest sentence you ever said was “why can’t everyone be friends”. I have this habit of cheering for smooth operators wherever I spot one. And believe me, they are hard to find. So cheers to you 😊
Yeah absolutely NO DOUBT that the Fw 190 A-8 is a Heavy Bomber Killer, and very easy to fly too, I’m no expert pilot, but even I got like 35+ Heavy Bomber kills lol
250 and 70 kilogram bombs, not pounds, so almost double the load. At 10:05, it, most likely wasn't the 20mm, but the 30mm, you had mounted in the wings. And BTW, at the beginning you were flying the FW 190 F8, not the A8, and you took off with the flaps in landing position.
Hey you should check out the P-39 Airacobra. It was considered to be a turd by US and other allies but the Soviet pilots fell in love with it apparently and kicked a lot of ass with it. They had dozens of P-39 aces, some with upwards of 30, 40, 50 victories in it. Its an odd little fighter with car style doors and a fat 37mm canon in the nose. Its only really useful at low altitudes which is why the Soviets liked it as thats where they did most of their fighting.
Been wanting to see more WW2 videos, let’s see if this scratches that itch Post video edit: definitely satisfied😂! Watching those explosions really made my day, heck yeah man
Love the FW-190! Keep up the WW2 content, love the history and non-electronics/missiles of the WW-2 warbirds! Any F-4 Corsair plane action VS Japanese planes would be awesome too.
German planes were interceptors. Planes like the FW-190 A-8 were armed to the teeth with cannons. It made them less suitable for dogfighting, but that wasn't really their job. Goring needed those bombers stopped!
A prop strike generally destroys more than the prop. The shock loading on the rotating prop shaft can severely damage the engine. That's why a good pilot will turn the engine off just before a belly landing.
Outer wing guns aren't 30mm MK108s? They had those "bumps" over the wing looking from the cockpit and they have very short barrels. And those huge explosions suggest that some 30mm hits were on target.
I enjoy you videos tremendously. It's more difficult to see your targets on the 190. A big part of this issue is the screen I must use, as it loses definition, but the sight angle on the 190 appears very low above the top of the instrument panel. I still enjoy the video, though. I'll just watch one of your flights in another virtual warplane if i want a good view of your targets. This is off the 190 topic (and this question is also rhetorical), but what research goes into each plane? Your missions in the P-38 are amazing with all the play that goes into moving the control yoke. Reminds me of driving an old French car with steering about to fail. Fun. To. Watch.

Hi :D I love your content

spitfire!!
My favourite WWII fighter aircraft is the P-47D "The JUG" please do a vid! "Me love you long time!"
The beauty! The grace! The Spitfire!

soooo can I call that a kill ?
Landing gear would also need to be looked at surely, must have maxed out the suspension travel

Just want to take a moment to appreciate that incredible bomb drop - even with depression tables that stuff ain't easy!
I absolutely love your WW2 stuff, more would be super nice!!
Keep up the great great work!
Man the FW190 is such a cool plane I like it a lot
Mo-o-o-o-o-re!!! Can't get enough of this WW II action. The gun-play is just sick!
Don’t know if these WW2 videos are as popular as your jet content but I love it. Thank you!
5:45 seeing the crew bail out via the bomb bay is a really nice attention to detail
This guys upload schedule is amazing
I'm loving the WWII content as of late my dude. 👍
I love the WWII content a lot! Especially when you fly the P-38! When you feel the need, the need for speed!
I like both modern and historical content! Keep it up!
I really love the VR WWII stuff GS. Please continue to make them, even as a labor of love if necessary. They are so fun, and you are incredibly good with the stick even in these old planes, it never really gets old.
Cool video. Just FYI, a prop strike (on that P-51) is a no go. The engine would probably need replacing, at minimum re-built! Love this IL-2 gameplay.
Warbirds are always appreciated.

looks like 30mm outboard........ devastating display! Thanks Ace!
All your content is awesome but there's a special place in my heart for WWII aircraft and dogfights. I'd love to see more me 262, me163, bf 109. Pretty much any WWII content.
Loving the WWII content lately! DCS needs to step up their game on this front.
A10 vs Harrier dogfight?
Absolutely more of the WW2 content, it's the best to watch.
Thanks so much for doing the WWII content!
Love all of your WWII content GS, please keep it coming. Love all the content, but it's great how you mix it up for us.
Also really enjoy the little bit of a history lesson you give at the beginning of each video
I'm sorry you're a Lions fan.
The depression of being clapped by a Felon in a Eurofighter is so severe, it sent GS back to 1943. I am sorry for you bro.
I just bought IL-2, because of your last video with the Me-262! It's currently on sale on steam too
Chuffed to bits by WWII content!! Great video, great flying!

More IL2 action I love it! The explosions sfx, fires and smoke all looks and sounds better than last time I played.

Seing you flying the Würger is always highly appreciated. Thanks a lot :)
Love it. Love both ww2 and modern content
Just love the FW190.... What an amazing WW2 weapon....
The Evil elf chuckle @ 5:04 though. I'm here for it lol
Super love your WW2 stuff man!!! Keep ‘em coming.. it’s a nice break from all the hi-tech jet stuff.
Once again, the millisecond it comes out, ngl i would love to see the f4-u corsair on a flight soon,
If only the videos were longer but other than that this is honestly the be best content on TH-cam keep it up man
Bro no way I just got liked by u I’m actually shaking
Yeah absolutely NO DOUBT that the Fw 190 A-8 is a Heavy Bomber Killer, and very easy to fly too, I’m no expert pilot, but even I got like 35+ Heavy Bomber kills lol
Great ww2 content...new perspective for me. Thank you
Amazing flying and aiming. The FW 190 is a beatiful monster. Would love to see more of it.
Absolutely loving the il-2 content
the WW2 content is awesome! There's nothing like those old warbirds just maiming each other at close range. It's brutal but so enjoyable to watch.
It’s a nice break , I’m enjoying them, thanks
I really like the WW2 content, no matter the aircraft.
MOAR MOAR MOAR!!!
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS RETRO STUFF
250 and 70 kilogram bombs, not pounds, so almost double the load.

One of my favorite WW2 planes. I used to play Heroes of the Pacific on the original Xbox back in the day, and always used the FW-190
Must've been lots of 190s on Pacific LMAO
Really enjoying the warbirds and IL2 series! Id love to see more
What a beast. Ww2 aircraft videos are great

Oh yes, i would like to see more WW2 action! These vids are so entertaining! Well done GS!
Love the WW2 stuff. Corsair being my favorite
MORE IL-2! Do whole missions in it, I love it!
Love the WW2 content...keep it coming.
The WWII content is awesome! I mean, all your content is awesome but this stuff is really enjoyable
Massively prefer these videos - and the modern jet videos with missions - to the jet v jet dogfights. Thanks for all of them, though.
Thanks for all your work and content GS. I dont play any of this games, but definitly I love it!
Nice Drop with the 250kg bomb. And P51s and b25s had a bad day that time.
More butcher bird is always appreciated.
I always love seeing one or two, perhaps more, clean chutes.
Even if it’s just DCS. 😊
They survived!
Love the fw 190 content
I love the plane destruction stuff (especially in the Me 262 vid)
You're the best channel:)
I agree with more IL-2 stuff! Just lots of action in them; always lots of fun :)
Yes! I love the old WW2 content in IL2
Been wanting to see more WW2 videos, let’s see if this scratches that itch
Post video edit: definitely satisfied😂! Watching those explosions really made my day, heck yeah man
10:20 LOL, so a b-25 CAN do a cobra!
Love the FW-190! Keep up the WW2 content, love the history and non-electronics/missiles of the WW-2 warbirds! Any F-4 Corsair plane action VS Japanese planes would be awesome too.
That 💣 though. These WWII vids have been insane
Yes very happy!
More please. Love this content
FW-190 = sexy! Loving the WW2 content and also the VR perspective, it's definitely different.
I'd love to see you do an IL-2 campaign!
I love me some WWII content, GS.
Has me kicking on the OG Xbox to play some Blazing Angels
Second one was my fav
Super early, really loving the il2 vids :)
Nice drop. For not coming in under dive bomb tactics of that era. That was one hell of hit.
Great flight!
I enjoy a lot more ww2 clips for some reason man. Love your content!
German planes were interceptors. Planes like the FW-190 A-8 were armed to the teeth with cannons. It made them less suitable for dogfighting, but that wasn't really their job. Goring needed those bombers stopped!
Love the WWII missions!
Nice job. These things are no picnic to fly. (German automated engine management does help. . .)
Just going to throw in my love of the WWII content as well!
Love it. Thanks.
Love the WWII content! Thanks!
You always have great looking graphics
It looks like a dream to play!
Butcher Birds, after bombers....Yep, more please!!
Loves these! Il2 is so good. How are you getting so much going on in a sortie? Like stumbling on p51's landing etc?
Love the VR content!
Enjoyed this a lot
"Haha... That was fun... sucks for him! " LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!
