That last fight showed the difference between now and the old days. Anything past the Korean War and it would be very difficult to extend away like that without taking a missile up the ass.
Well most mid to late WW2 fighters were desgined for bnr and bnz tactics since there is barely anything you can do on the recieving end if you don't have missiles - you have to pray that the enemy makes a mistake or someone saves you if you don't want to end as a lawnmower
That last Spit tried to follow you into a slow climb, which the British Air Ministry warned RAF pilots specifically not to do with the 109, not even with the Griffon engine. They're told to break off if you do that, gain superior speed and then re-engage but never to follow. You know if I was trying to compare you with which German ace your flying most resembles in the 109 I'd say Marsielle, with that aerial marksmanship of yours. Pretty high praise, he was the aces' ace, universally regarded within the Luftwaffe as the best pilot they ever had irrespective of kill numbers, but as a skill rating, or in terms of how many e/a he would routinely down on a single magazine load before running out of ammo. Everybody else would do numerous sorties downing a couple each that added up over a few days, whilst he'd take out six in one outing and still have half his magazine left on landing. Everybody recognised that was just on another level. So doesn't have the highest numbers before his death, but is regarded the best of all the aces.
I praise even more Fonck, WW1 ace. His marksmanship skills were so high he didn't aim at ennemy planes but instead was capable to target specifics parts like engine or tail. He found out that the best was to aim for the ennemy pilot himself. One day he managed to shot down 6 bandits firing only 32 bullets. He was already using boom and zoom tactics in WW1 and managed to never get a single bullet in his airplane while scoring 75 confirmed victories (with a probable score above 100).
Having seen a Gustav 109 (and other Il-2 aircraft) several times at airshows, I must say it gets the sound just about perfect, be it close up or afar. Sound design is so important in a combat sim, I'm glad it's getting the attention it deserves unlike in most older sims.
Some good things to mention here. 1) It's a good thing the Germans didn't have many of the K4's become operational. 2) It's a good thing they didn't have them until very late in the war. 3) And it's a good thing they didn't have many pilots of GS's caliber to fly the ones they did have, by the time the K4's became operational. I don't think it would have changed the outcome of the war if those things had been different, but it would have cost a lot more Allied lives.
Long time lurker on your channel, this was fantastic. As a real world professional pilot, who dabbles in warbirds and helicopters, I really enjoy watching the 109 mop it up and all of your other videos and breakdowns. You do a great job with the commentary! In my opinion DCS is the ultimate sim.

The more I watch these videos, the closer I get to making a poor financial decision to buying a HOTAS. I cannot play DCS on keyboard. Like if you can you’re clearly smarter than me. And I can do IL-2 but a HOTAS would make it so much easier. But never the less. Awesome video as always GS.
@@Whimpy13 well I guess that’s what I meant by HOTAS. Just something to make flying easier in these flight sim games. I haven’t gotten the full fledge feel of DCS just because I’m not coordinated enough on the key board. But IL-2 I can do ok..ish. But a joystick would just help make the game more fun. So in the meantime I just fly in Arma.

Mom: "Let your brother play" Player: "But, he'll wreak my k/d stat." Mom: "Just let him have a turn" Player: "Fine..." Little snot: "yay!" Along come GS and ROFL stomps him in 10 seconds.
Your vids convinced me to start DCS and bought spit, BF 109 and mustang which I'm currently learning. Love the 100% functional cockpits and more complexity compared to il2, I liked cliffs of dover but although it's great some parts of it are kinda dated like UI. Think DCS is puting out some real good quality stuff and has quite some potential in ww2 if they keep adding stuff. Just wished I had bit more time to fly 🙂
The Germans were the first to use nitrous oxide, N2O, to boost engine performance. The system was primarily focused on boosting high altitude performance where as the more commonly used water/methanol injection was used at low altitudes. If I recall correctly, they had a system that used cylinder of compressed N2O to boost horse power by up to 360 for several minutes to help in emergency situations. I have seen photos of K-class (51" tall 9" DIA) cylinders still in service with swastikas on them, although a lot of times more stamps are done to make it into a square with an cross inside it. Edit to fix NO2 to N2o
It's MW-50 for this aircraft (methanol-water) which helps with cooling and letting engine produce more power, GM-1 (nitrous) was used for very high altitude flights and if i remember correctly Kurfürsts didn't utilize it. TA-152H however uses that.
I've been inspired for awhile now to build my pit. Got the HotaS and TRP pedals, my 3d printer came in the other day so I can build a collective (apache) Now all I need is time off!!!...Your costing me a lot of money with these videos!...thanks! :)
Absolutely loving the WW2 server, only have a mossie as of yet but defueling it and using flaps actually makes it competitive enough to have some fun :)
The first engagement you had with that spit was very well done. Once his engine was down i think you should just had let him go he wasn't going to reach land at that altitude anyway so its a bit cruel to shoot him down like that since he still pulled a good fight. But i totally understand that you want the kill i have been in that situation myself. My father told me to always try to kill the plane not the pilot, that's why if can put the plane out of combat or the motor or even have him out of amo i will just wave him off and let him live by pure respect. :D Btw great flying, hope to see more 109's video in the future. :)
Your tactics are thse of Hartmann; stay high, use vertical energy and get close, hit, dissengage and use the vertical plain to gain hight and re-assess the situation.
Imagine if the Japanese automatic flap system on the N1K2 and A7M was used on Bf109… In combat, pilot no longer have to turn the flap wheel and the hydraulics will auto deploy various degrees of flap depending on g load and airspeed. It will be SO good, prob make K4 out turn spitfire
Naah, it would give the pilot an easier work load during low-speed dogfights, but it would not be enough to beat the Spit in a turn, it's all about the wing loading, the Spit has different wings.
Nice, always learn something about energy management from your vids. Could you make a video about how to handle the 109's engine & radiators properly while you are in these dogfights? Had problems with the fuel pressure dropping and the engine stuttering badly, but couldn't figure out what caused it. Thx, keep up the good work.
I am loving this! I'd love to see some dogfight videos, like the traditional GS video with tac view, using these WWII planes. I like it all though. Especially the Donkey.
Those late model 109's are freaking monsters for sure. When they are in supply. When you've got fuel in quality as well as adequate quantity. Good thing these problems aren't simulated.
There’s something so satisfying about watching these WWII dogfights compared to the jets. Gonna need to change your channel’s name to “Dr Spitfire Popper”.
Any one know if DCS plans on putting the griffon spitfire in game? The later griffon engined spitfires made just under 2400hp and had a 5 bladed prop, almost 1000hp more than the merlin powered spitfires
It would ruin their preferred 'balance' so no, there's absolutely no chance of them adding it. I would personally love to see one of those monsters battle it out with a ME 262, but that's what IL2 is for. Honestly, I would rather have them spend the resources on trying to create even a vaguely realistic RADAR and AMRAAM simulation, although that also doesn't seem to be what they're balancing for, so I guess we'll get some more mediocre WW2 aircraft (which can't upset the 'meta') instead?
One finn Brewster pilot plain got hit from soviet Spitfire and when spitfire went past and in gun sight, finn shot it down. That Brewster is in museum after some decades in Karelia lake in russia.
The Spitfire is my favorite plane to fly in DCS but it gets no love from ED. The engine is so finicky and will quit for seemingly no reason at times. I lovingly call it the Quitfire.
Those WW2 piston engines where really sensitive, for example, the Spit engine did not like to prop hang at low speed, and you could not keep it at full power for a long period of time. Plenty of things to keep in mind, RPM, prop pitch, fuel mix, supercharger gears, radiator flaps (depending on different aircraft), that's why the pilots liked the FW-190, it has very streamlined engine management.
Excellent flying as usual, great marksmanship with the MK 108s in spite of their low muzzle velocity. You were wondering at one point if your bogey was a Mosquito, but sadly these beautiful aircraft aren't (yet) part of Il-2.
@@GrowlingSidewinder Oh... now I feel embarassed. x') I was on a watching streak of your Il-2 videos and didn't notice the change in this one. I hope the Mossie comes soon to Il-2, I'm too poor to afford a PC upgrade for DCS.
German instruction to score an aerial victory : 1st : spot your prey 0:30 (spitfire if possible) 2nd: dive on target 0:35 (comfirming it's a spitfire while diving) 3rd: shot him in the ass 0:46 (one angry spitfire pilot)
Is there any concept of one-circle / two-circle fighting in the WW2 planes? I have been trying to apply two circle to the BF109 versus Spitfire and F4U (great turning aircraft) and getting smoked. My theory is that the planes are so slow (versus the modern jets I always watch you fly) that the two-circle arcs are so small, and the min radius fighter ends up winning. Just wanted to rewatch this video and learn a few things.
People have left DCS, gone to IL-2 due to the over modeled, and can’t kill a shot up smoking K4 with every flight control surface gone. M50 for German planes, but no 150 octane for Allied. Sad state of affairs for the P-51D when just flying along, rad and oil temps in the green, and the engine just quits…sad.
@@GrowlingSidewinder I would love to know why though? On paper the Fw 190 seems quite a bit superior to the 109, but then again, I know almost nothing about WW2 aircraft.
@@mortlet5180 FW190 dogfights are more like constant BNZ extend climb BNZ extend climb BNZ extend climb BNZ extend climb Takes the state lines of Texas to make a full 360 in a 190
When I play as the P-51, I can destroy Dora 9s easy. I can't kill K-4s to save my life unless I come into the fight with a massive tactical advantage. They definitely out climb the Mustang and I can't find any speed at which I can turn inside them. To top it all off, I'm not fast enough to outrun it.
Another fun way to fly the 109 not so much on channel map but Normandy, is to fly the deck as low as possible, looking for oblivious spitfires. People flying the spit often rest on it's turning ability, making them complacent and situationally unaware.
In IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 the K-series had a very short lifespan engines (and I think the G-10 and G-6AS as well). How is it in DCS? Is it a sensitive engine (for overheating, running it on high settings for longer time)?
Growling, that is some great shooting, Nice job on the new WWII server, way too cool, tell what is the max ping you can play on your server, I am out in Oceania area, and my internet sucks most of the time.

1st : spot your prey 0:30 (spitfire if possible)
2nd: dive on target 0:35 (comfirming it's a spitfire while diving)
3rd: shot him in the ass 0:46 (one angry spitfire pilot)
I always wondered how the heck GS could keep his eyes on the maneuvering planes. Me? Need trackir5...
rip the last spitfire
Is there any concept of one-circle / two-circle fighting in the WW2 planes? I have been trying to apply two circle to the BF109 versus Spitfire and F4U (great turning aircraft) and getting smoked. My theory is that the planes are so slow (versus the modern jets I always watch you fly) that the two-circle arcs are so small, and the min radius fighter ends up winning. Just wanted to rewatch this video and learn a few things.
"managed to hit him in the ass......so he is leaking something"
real ww2 pilots: your plane is too damaged, i'll let you go
GS: no.
The best tactic in the world "run away bravely"😂
Dude! That was fantastic!
People have left DCS, gone to IL-2 due to the over modeled, and can’t kill a shot up smoking K4 with every flight control surface gone. M50 for German planes, but no 150 octane for Allied. Sad state of affairs for the P-51D when just flying along, rad and oil temps in the green, and the engine just quits…sad.
Its too high RPM and MP that kills engine in that case, not temperatures..
@@Jyrgenstrator That was a year ago...lots of improvements in the last 3 updates.
@@bobr8766 Updates wont fix understanding of engine management, but cool that there is some improvements.
”Oh look at this” Me that don’t see a thing. Huh?
Nice flight, for the wrong team.
Will you ever gonna take fw 190 for a spin?
At some point I’m sure I will get around to it
@@GrowlingSidewinder I would love to know why though? On paper the Fw 190 seems quite a bit superior to the 109, but then again, I know almost nothing about WW2 aircraft.
@@mortlet5180 FW190 dogfights are more like constant BNZ extend climb BNZ extend climb BNZ extend climb BNZ extend climb
Takes the state lines of Texas to make a full 360 in a 190
@@zacharychaisson8176 Thanks for elaborating!
Finally a dcs video!
Here here!
I will admit, it very frustrating when you burn your engine. But it is why I love DCS too!
...AUSGEZEICHNET!!!!!
When I play as the P-51, I can destroy Dora 9s easy. I can't kill K-4s to save my life unless I come into the fight with a massive tactical advantage. They definitely out climb the Mustang and I can't find any speed at which I can turn inside them. To top it all off, I'm not fast enough to outrun it.
I experience the same issues, no matter what the 109K ends up on my six somehow. Antons and Doras are definitely easier to dogfight in the P51D
Do you think you'll do any more pacific theater videos? perhaps giving the Zero a whirl and seeing how you fare?
Another fun way to fly the 109 not so much on channel map but Normandy, is to fly the deck as low as possible, looking for oblivious spitfires. People flying the spit often rest on it's turning ability, making them complacent and situationally unaware.
Q. What is the intake for on the left side of the nose of the BF 109 K4 not familiar with the 109....(I love the F-4U Corsair)..
If you mean the big one, it's the intake for the super charger.
In IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 the K-series had a very short lifespan engines (and I think the G-10 and G-6AS as well). How is it in DCS? Is it a sensitive engine (for overheating, running it on high settings for longer time)?
Old comment but K4 had MW50 injection for 10mins that allowed high boost rates without destroying engine. It will last perfectly fine.
Growling, that is some great shooting, Nice job on the new WWII server, way too cool, tell what is the max ping you can play on your server, I am out in Oceania area, and my internet sucks most of the time.
I have an question at the frist part did you use only MG's and cannon at the end or you used it the whole time?
The engine on the k was spicy enough that it couldn't use the standard aviation fuel had to use better stuff and it had water meth on top of that
The allies such as spitfires used 150 octanes because the engines were small and weak. Germany did fine on cheap pump 87 so they were second to none!
Some people are saying on facebook that no one uses the channel map on multiplayer and that its super undersized. Is this true?
Fish in a barrel. You're an evil bastard GS. Lol. 😅
I love the ww2 vids
New pc ordered & I hope to see u soon in the webverse :)
GS are you planning on taking out a 190 in the future?
@Growling Sidewinder - how does the DCS 109 compare to the IL-2 109? You've flown both recently, I believe.
GS, the Spitfire Killer 😎😎
Please, attempt the Sonderkommando Elbe aerial ramming on bombers with the 109. See if you can survive the impact.
Erich Huffman was not as good a pilot but devilishly handsome to be certain
I’m really considering getting a pc just for this game, I’m ripping up war thunder and I love it but this is something else
Would you call the last one a manufacturing kill? Wonderful video.
That was badass you have some skill!
A question for the WW2 aspect is there a Stuka in DCS?
