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
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.
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 😊
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.
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
Nice content! You make this feel so easy to do.....Playing in DCS or IL2, I just can´t win a single dogfight...I´m allways the pilot shooted down. I keep watching your videos to learn someting.
Absolutely, practice. And don't be shy to use that F5 (external padlock) view a lot, it helps getting a better SA during the fight and trains you how the whole thing works so you can then do it from the cockpit view later on. You just ideally start off flying something that can turn better than its adversaries since it's usually easier for beginners to win those fights.
Kinda wanna see more big 20m planes the way they just yeet shells and destroy aircraft is cool af and takes skill in my opinion rather than just light someone up with 50s
I know I may sound dumb but I’d this still DCS? Or is this a whole other game? Love your videos man just ordered my first flight sim kit can’t wait to try out the tomcat shortly🤙🏻
I wonder what style of dogfighter the 190 is? Would it be a rate fighter or one circle fighter. Has one of the fastest roll rates among the era, but its a high wing loading and doesn’t turn like a Spitfire or Zero
Neither I guess. It was zoom and boom with as you've mentioned highest roll rate of any, so scissors and reverse turn with Split S if I recall were used to shake off allied fighters.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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!!
Day 29, 31st time asking for a reenactment of Sam City in the A6 Intruder from Flight of the Intruder, movie version. Talk to HeatBlur about their A6E.
Hey GS, I've recently started playing il2 Stalingrad but I can seem to find missions like the ones you have. Mine seem so much more straightforward and bare. How do you get these missions that you do your vids in? They seem so much more interesting than what I do which is head on dog fights starting 1500m away or one group of enemies. I can't seem to find where these better missions are
Day 4 of asking Growling to please play the Harrier because i thing he could do some awesome stuff with the VTOL nozzles, e.g. some manual theust vectoring and supertight turns and stuff like that.
Not such an easy fix on that damaged P51, the prop hitting the ground while the engine is running will have put a massive shock load through the crankshaft so at the least its a full strip and check. But more likely is they would just junk the engine and ship it back to Rolls-Royce or Packard for rebuild into a Meteor for use in tanks because its probably knackered
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

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!

The Evil elf chuckle @ 5:04 though. I'm here for it lol
looks like 30mm outboard........ devastating display! Thanks Ace!
Just love the FW190.... What an amazing WW2 weapon....
Great informative videos on this aspect of life. Though the greatest sentence you ever said was “why can’t everyone be friends”.

10:20 LOL, so a b-25 CAN do a cobra!

What a beast. Ww2 aircraft videos are great
Massively prefer these videos - and the modern jet videos with missions - to the jet v jet dogfights. Thanks for all of them, though.
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
I always love seeing one or two, perhaps more, clean chutes.
Even if it’s just DCS. 😊
They survived!
Holy Shit - those B-25's must have been still carrying their bombload - when you hit them with the 20mm they detonated lol holy crap that was brutal
The last B-25 tried to pull the SU-57 manuever from Top Gun Maverick
I really like the WW2 content, no matter the aircraft.
Yes ceep the coming pls i love it..Maby in some unusual German planes aswell would be awesome.👍👍
All about the prop planes!
Love the fw 190 content
I agree with more IL-2 stuff! Just lots of action in them; always lots of fun :)
Love these videos too!
I'd love to see you do an IL-2 campaign!
Jesus that mustang crash was startled me abut lol
Yes! I love the old WW2 content in IL2
I like both types of content tbh.
I can't fly for shit so I like watching someone that can :D
Nice content! You make this feel so easy to do.....Playing in DCS or IL2, I just can´t win a single dogfight...I´m allways the pilot shooted down. I keep watching your videos to learn someting.

Can you do the D variant long noise.
Kinda wanna see more big 20m planes the way they just yeet shells and destroy aircraft is cool af and takes skill in my opinion rather than just light someone up with 50s
Being in VR, you detected the enemies early!
Love these WWII
Strikes their prop: easy fix my butt lol
i'd love to see you flying the BF-109G-10 with the 30mm =) i guess you would shred ennemy bombers
Nice video!
Try IL 2 1946
I really like the BDAs.
A new propeller and crankshaft and rods and pistons 😂 may as well replace the entire engine 😂
absolutely love the ww2 vids
Loves these! Il2 is so good. How are you getting so much going on in a sortie? Like stumbling on p51's landing etc?
The WWII content has been a lot of fun. How about a Tempest or a Bf109?
Hey GS can you make a video about the Cessna A-37 dragonfly? That's an interesting aircraft of the Vietnam era
Please fly F-82 against Me262!🙏
I know I may sound dumb but I’d this still DCS? Or is this a whole other game? Love your videos man just ordered my first flight sim kit can’t wait to try out the tomcat shortly🤙🏻
Need a 109 next, keep it up! Are there any 110’s on this game?
Great vid
I’m loving the WWII content! Please hop on the Stuka next
Oh I'm loving the WW2 content
Fw190 Is must watch
Don't think I've ever seen you do anything in PTO. Would love to see some of that if available!
FW-190 vs. F-22 would be a good game.
Would a saying such as "100 Pound Bomb" refer to the amount of explosives inside of the ordinance, or refer to the entire weight of the ordinance?
Well, this is on sale on Steam right now, so I guess I'll get it. It may be kinda nice to get a break from DCS.
I have been playing IL2 since the beginning. Perhaps the year 2000? yes im old but this is the best WW2 sim ever. And no not getting paid to say this.
@@keithwinslow6654 Oh, I definitely spent many hours in Microsoft Combat Flight sim around that time.
Super! Make nore WWII content with PvP and tactics explain
Get growling to 500k
More please
Are you gonna make war thunder videos in the future?
what would be cool is a B17 fully crewed with real DCS players
those bombs will be in Kilograms so basicaly double it for pounds.
right right, sorry I'm so use to Lbs
Can you please do more air to ground?
The FW 190 was a "Butcher"?!
And the Bomber Crew's was bringing the "Peace"!
Like Today!😁👍🤮🥵🥵🥵🥵
I wonder what style of dogfighter the 190 is? Would it be a rate fighter or one circle fighter. Has one of the fastest roll rates among the era, but its a high wing loading and doesn’t turn like a Spitfire or Zero

Any reason why all WW2 flights are only on IL2 ? i don't think i've seen any WW2 flights in DCS done by You.
I have many world war 2 videos from DCS, theyre out there somewhere
Is the La5F modeled in this game? I'd like to see that.
Yes it is in 2 versions
love the ww2 stuff. please do more of it
German bombs are measured in kg's, not in pounds.
But hey, great content! :)
Could you fly the P-47 next please
Love the ww2 stuff
Do an Fw-190A5. It's a better bird than the A8.
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
soooo can I call that a kill ?
Landing gear would also need to be looked at surely, must have maxed out the suspension travel

@@thepinkplushiefrom the look and sound of the smack yes they would have to be inspected and parts possibly replaced
@@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 absolutely love your WW2 stuff, more would be super nice!!
Keep up the great great work!
Just want to take a moment to appreciate that incredible bomb drop - even with depression tables that stuff ain't easy!
Man the FW190 is such a cool plane I like it a lot
I'm loving the WWII content as of late my dude. 👍
Don’t know if these WW2 videos are as popular as your jet content but I love it. Thank you!
Mo-o-o-o-o-re!!! Can't get enough of this WW II action. The gun-play is just sick!
I like both modern and historical content! Keep it up!
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.
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.
Loving the WWII content lately! DCS needs to step up their game on this front.
A10 vs Harrier dogfight?
It will always bug me why war thunder thought they should make the fw190 a rock when it comes to turn fighting.
It isn't much better in il2, but i agree
Because it was? Very high wing loading
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.

5:45 seeing the crew bail out via the bomb bay is a really nice attention to detail
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.
I am once again asking GS for a me262 differential thrust video
This guys upload schedule is amazing
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.
Once again, the millisecond it comes out, ngl i would love to see the f4-u corsair on a flight soon,
I just bought IL-2, because of your last video with the Me-262! It's currently on sale on steam too
Nice Drop with the 250kg bomb. And P51s and b25s had a bad day that time.
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!!
