"Oh they're strarting to shoot at me. I'm not too fond of that" What a surprising revelation, Wolfpack. I too, don't appreciate being shot at. Not my cup of tea.
eh, from personal experience i can tell you that getting shot at is actually exhilarating. Nothing makes your feel more alive then getting shot at and missed. On the other hand being SHOT is a huge pain in the neck.
Typically you want your shot opportunities to come early in the phase as they will nearly never follow the 'current flight plan, so the earlier the shot comes the more likely you are to get them before they can maneuver away.
You can also always try to predict what they're going to do, sometimes it's pretty easy what to anticipate and with the spitfires having shotguns for guns it's pretty effective too.
This makes aiming so much easier, especially when the sun is making it hard to see the reticule. You can click on or press G to switch to the ghost of your plane. Additionally you can hold CTRL when moving your plane to make slower adjustments, that makes it a lot easier to find those sweet spots rather than trying to yeet your plane around until you see the yellow bar.
When waiting for things to finish, turn on level flioght, otherwise they might just suicide into the sea. Also friendly fire is real so some of that crossfire looked a bit risky
If you press G you switch to the vision of your end move (the ghost) - it's way easier to fine tune your aim Also, if you press R the camera will align with your plane, which helps a lot too
GRABOWSKI'S REVENGE sounds like a movie or book. This game rocks, gonna pick it up next paycheck. Thanks for the vid! If you could, show us more of the post-game fight.
Grabowski is a mole. No, really. In German: to dig - “graben” A children’s book “Der Maulwurf Grabowski” (Grabowski the mole) tells the story of him having to move from his underground home to a new place because of construction work.
T. Grabowski knew his role when his plane got shot and he swore he'd get revenge from those jerry's he just had to wait for the perfect opportunity. When time came, he got the perfect revenge, and he is a beast with that aggressive stall shot!
Got the game, first fight was against 5 Bf110s, nearly crashed two spitfires together, then nearly crashed with a bf110 but ended up with 4 kills and zero damage taken. It was really fun. It's pretty cool, only thing I noticed is that the water isn't exactly modelled, had Bf110s dive half their entire hulls into it, sometimes sideways with a wing cutting through the water 4-5m deep and seemingly nothing happened to them.
Been following this channel only shortly, since the Sea Power content came up, and I really really like it. This is great content. Just watch and chill, find some new games you might like as well. Lovely. And then I just realized, my dude also uploads in 4K ( not that I have a 4K monitor, but still ). That's some good work! Much love from Germany.
Was a chaotic video! If you dont mind/want it, 1 tip of advice is, Remember the trails the enemies leave are only if they change nothing about their course. Think about what they might be doing, who they might be chasing, or how they might be likely to evade before finalizing that trigger pull ^.^
I love the juxtaposition of your videos with, say, Sea Power where you do so many fiddly things I'd never know to do and then this, where you go, "Hell yeah, headon that 110 with your .303s!"
Fantastic video, the first round I see critical damage pilot, then the plane immediately nose dives I'm like YEP they dead. Fantastic Wolfpack I look forward to this series.
Tip: cutting the engine to half power is usually enough to keep it running even if the radiators fail and/or the engine gets shot to hell I've been nuking spitfires (guilty pleasure of abusing B&Z against the AI lol) despite losing radiators early on in the fight--just wait till engine goes crit and then cut it down to half power, it will stay in the fight that way, no need to bail out and lose a perfectly salvageable plane
I was gonna hold off on buying because of early access but seeing you being sponsored by them instantly changed my mind. You deserve this sponsorship and much more
An inverted dive isn’t a good move in a spitfire at this point in the war the Merlin is still carburettor fed and the pilots don’t yet have access to Miss Shilling’s orifice.
I would suggest that over 80 per ent of the time you should be at full throttle. I saw you kept drop you throttle at slow speed. Even at the beginning of the first game. When you have a speed and alttitude advantage. Try going over the top and then slide down when the stall coming up to you. All at full throttle
Wolfpack, you need to hit x to change target to see your firing solution. Otherwise it thinks your still targeting the other plane you just killed. It's not automatic. You gotta manually designate each pilot's target every time.
Not sure how accurate the flight models are, but IRL early war Spitfires couldn't handle negative G manouvers. Their Merlin engines unlike those of the BF109 and 110 were carburetted and negative G would cut off the fuel supply causing the engine to stall. This was fixed later on, AFTER it became a major issue with both the Spitfire and Hurricane (and anything else with a merlin) during the battle of Britain.
Given How horrendously outnumbered the Polish airforce was and the tech gap for Polish pilots going up agianst the luftwaffe in 1939 (take a look as a PZL P.11, that thing had to go up agianst Bf109s!). It shouldn't be surprising that any Polish pilots in the battle of Britain were something special. They'd survived impossible odds at home, and then the flying junk they were given by the French (The Caudron C.714 was barely any better than what they'd had in Poland) before finally making it to the UK. I'd imagine they were also probably very glad that the RAF finally gave them some aircraft that weren't hopeless! Props to the Poles in ww2, they performed admirably in pretty much every theater they took part in.
25:32 gotta come from behind and below the 110 so that back gunner has no shot. That head on was ruthless the 110 is not to be looked in the eyes 😂😂😂. I wonder if they will have them(110) with night fighter capabilities later on in game. 38:56 you were at half throttle SMH gotta punch it😊 1:02:28 what a wing shake that was close😮
This really is such an amazing game I would love, in the future, a setting where you can change the length of the turns, from 6 seconds down to 1 (I would never) or up to say 10 seconds
Hey wolfpack when shooting at a target you want the solid yellow line in the target circles as long as you can the dotted yellow line is where you will finish shooting
Letting that Jerry "escape the battle" when he was already set to bail out and was still in the combat zone was bogus. You should have gotten all four in that last fight. Salute the Poles, two of them have two kills each. And Grabowski did it with a wrecked plane.
Great Display of tactical awareness. A few times I thought you were going to collide with other planes. You did once lol. Really excited about this Sim. Really good demonstration.
Good game flying Dutchman! ;) Don't you have to look at the green circles when aiming at an enemy plane? The smaller the circle the bigger the hit chance?
Heard is still pretty bare bones and apart from Squadron Leader it's still close to demo we had chance to test. Is it worth to get it or it's better to wait for discount/more content?
Alwyas attack a plane with a back guner low or from sides, ideally; if possible use boom and zoom and use one main pilot to attack one plane and folow up with a wing man, dont ever park your plane on the 6 oclock of a Bf110 stuka or a bomber
Very Excited to see this up & going already Wolf! 👍 So while trying to catch more on Scramble gameplay, (before this vid rolled out today!) just yesterday I got a chance to catch this vid from DasTactic. th-cam.com/video/KtOr7uA0K44/w-d-xo.htmlsi=hOfddLzTqJ_UKmX_ Amazing feature vid w/ some neat game mechanics & hot key descriptions. Very much recommend his video for any of us fans of this game on the fence about buying EA versions. ❤ There's some really useful knowledge in it (even for creators such as yourself or THG). I kidded around w/ him saying you two would be Aces after learning under his tutelage. 😄 Good Luck on the Squadron Leader Campaign, & of course always, 🎯 Good Hunting!
The UI flashing when you mouse over pilots so quickly is really bad. Hope they put some effort into making the UI a little more tolerable to watch on video.
You are very aggressive. Maybe consider taking your time and trying to maintain your altitude and energy advantage whenever possible. Engaging fighters at a higher altitude first is usually a smarter idea to try and chase them down below you. You also try and shoot too early. The guns are not very accurate at range and it could get you in ammo trouble.
In the second match the ground controller had screwed up. Intercepting 4 109’s over the Channel with a single section of spits is a bad idea. His first idea of a single head on pass and then bug out was the right move. Getting out with 3 planes and pilots intact was the aim there. Fight when there are bombers to take out or something to protect.
Yep, I definitely had learned from him playing it and avoided those issues, ended up shooting down 4, with the 5th damaged escaping without using even 15% of my squadron's ammo.
@@davidwright7193 No, he didn't... because he knew one of the pilots was Grabowski the Magnificent, who would down two Huns with no rudder and a wing falling off.
I'm honestly disappointed in you for once. When using Grabowski as bait, you had him break to the right and kept your pursuing spits straight with long range shots. What you should have done with your pursuing spits is set their coarse to where you wanted Grabowski to be. You've said multiple times that it is setting things up a few moves ahead, but were only acting turn by turn. Slow it down and think it through, Wolfpack.

Like video
watching this man cut his damn throttle while about to stall is absolutely doing my head in
Yeah. Afraid of overshooting when he is slower and really wanting to stall, with a plane lacking a rudder, no less.
"Oh they're strarting to shoot at me. I'm not too fond of that"
What a surprising revelation, Wolfpack. I too, don't appreciate being shot at. Not my cup of tea.

@@steventessitore3246 One would say nothing makes you feel less alive than being shot in some cases
Tis quite a British response to being fired upon.
Hunt for Red October vibes

You can also always try to predict what they're going to do, sometimes it's pretty easy what to anticipate and with the spitfires having shotguns for guns it's pretty effective too.
You can click on the ghost of your planes and adjust it's course while focused the camera on that. Makes life so much easier.

Now THAT is the kind of sponsors content creators should have.
Baked in ads get an automatic thumbs down, but this ad is the video so it gets a thumbs up.
Now THAT is the kind of content sponsored creators should have! 😜 Wolfpack is certainly giving them their money's worth
The devs should make it so that aircraft CANNOT leave the battle AFTER the pilot has already begun to bail out.
These planes flying themselves back to base on autopilot lol
I think they moved the area of engagement away form where Schmidt was bailing out.
also if they crash after they leave it should count as a kill

Its nice, that they add polish pilots. Greetings from Poland
Greetings from England
This game is a good take at pilots "flying with their hands" while discussing a dog fight.
T. Grabowski knew his role when his plane got shot and he swore he'd get revenge from those jerry's he just had to wait for the perfect opportunity. When time came, he got the perfect revenge, and he is a beast with that aggressive stall shot!
His name is Sikora, not Sikorsa. Sikora is a species of bird (in Polish) and is also used as a nickname for someone small and agile.
Repeat please! “Shut up! Shut up in Polish!” 😂😂😂😂
"ohh.. God's truth"

„Start throttleing back“ - puts throttle on full :D nice video, looking forward to this series

The greatest name to ever grace an aircraft component, truly.

Surprisingly addictive whilst in each skirmish.
Wow, a WW2 Battlestar Galactica Deadlock. Installing now!
Good furball😋
I’ve already clocked some 20 hrs on Scramble BoB! It’s a crazy addictive game.
Wolfpack, you need to hit x to change target to see your firing solution. Otherwise it thinks your still targeting the other plane you just killed. It's not automatic. You gotta manually designate each pilot's target every time.

This was fixed later on, AFTER it became a major issue with both the Spitfire and Hurricane (and anything else with a merlin) during the battle of Britain.
In the case of Grabowski's fight, it was necessary to use a maneuver called the scissors.
How these poor RAF guys brought ANYTHING down with those .303s is beyond me. Like trying to dig a post hole with a teaspoon.
Wish you had shown more of the replays. Might just have to get this game, strategy and air to air combat is right up my alley
loved the video, it's a pity the first aircraft didn't count as a kill even if the pilot bailed out. Love the game
Hey Wolfpack, I’m going to love this series. Do you think we could see the entire battle from every planes perspective once it’s over?
Given How horrendously outnumbered the Polish airforce was and the tech gap for Polish pilots going up agianst the luftwaffe in 1939 (take a look as a PZL P.11, that thing had to go up agianst Bf109s!).

38:56 you were at half throttle SMH gotta punch it😊

Hey, Wolfpack, do you think you'll ever return to doing Il2 career campaigns?
This really is such an amazing game
I would love, in the future, a setting where you can change the length of the turns, from 6 seconds down to 1 (I would never) or up to say 10 seconds
Bought this game immediately because I couldn't stand the negative G forces you kept putting your pilots through XD
Been looking foward to this series, keep up the good content!
Hey wolfpack when shooting at a target you want the solid yellow line in the target circles as long as you can the dotted yellow line is where you will finish shooting
I hope early access goes well for this game, it looks fun as hell!
this reminds me of a flash game called steambirds if im not mistaken. It was also a turn based dogfight game
Letting that Jerry "escape the battle" when he was already set to bail out and was still in the combat zone was bogus. You should have gotten all four in that last fight.
Salute the Poles, two of them have two kills each. And Grabowski did it with a wrecked plane.
46:43 wolfpack double-check your speed!! Double-check everything before continuing! Still doing awesome tho!
Well done Grabowski! Even Gronkowski wouldn't have performed better! :)
Very happy you finally got that last airplane in the second flight
Press the 'G' key to move your view to the end of your anticipated flight path. It can sometimes make aiming easier.
Great Display of tactical awareness. A few times I thought you were going to collide with other planes. You did once lol. Really excited about this Sim. Really good demonstration.
I would love to see more of this!
Good game flying Dutchman! ;) Don't you have to look at the green circles when aiming at an enemy plane? The smaller the circle the bigger the hit chance?
Nobody does it like wolfpack!
really would love if you showed more of the full replay at the end
I would buy this game right away, but the hardware requirements are extreme for a game like that!
Heard is still pretty bare bones and apart from Squadron Leader it's still close to demo we had chance to test. Is it worth to get it or it's better to wait for discount/more content?
Yeah, it's a very cool concept but right now there isn't enough content to justify the price. It gets really repetitive after a couple battles.
This looks amazing
When you engine is damaged, drop to half throttle to keep it from dying :)
Game is as you say v addiction to it. One to look for on its release soon.
Nice discovered the game today... awesome Times 😂❤🎉
Looking at those Polish pilots results, I'm starting to believe Smigol is controlling them.
Beware of the hun in the sun. Great game
Alwyas attack a plane with a back guner low or from sides, ideally; if possible use boom and zoom and use one main pilot to attack one plane and folow up with a wing man, dont ever park your plane on the 6 oclock of a Bf110 stuka or a bomber
Congratulations!
You should play 'Wings Over Flanders Fields' its got the best campaign of an any flight combat sim
Always watching Grabowski! Always watching 👀
Great Work!
Looks really nice
I've been playing this myself, 10 days in with 63 kills to 3 plane losses (no pilots thankfully)
I love how long this video was
Excuse me is that plane at 13:44 pulling up while inverted?
This games amazing keep this going
How do you get the different views in playback?
No Defiant, No me ! :D IL2 Cliffs of Dover is FAR better.
What happens to the rounds that miss. They eventually fall to earth but were they a hazard to anyone or anything, any evidence?
I can't see why they wouldn't be hazardous to anything that gets caught in the path.
Anyone know what model of Spit they are using? Since multiple types were used during the Battle of Britain
Either a mk1 or mk2a since they have 8 .303s idk enough to know the difference between the 2
I think that I will try this one day
i wanna fly the luftwafee
battlestar galactica deadlock but with planes, going to take a look at this
Grbowski's new name is Big Wheel
Rad
Achtung spitfire reloaded ?
As far as I remembered, Lufwaffe fighters didn't fight in unhistorical three planes element in that game.
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Love this game
I have a feeling you should REALLY try to break out of the habit of shooting too early
Very Excited to see this up & going already Wolf! 👍

It is, as if, you keep hitting the pause button. It's very annoying.
