    On this channel we like to do a lot of dogfighting most videos are some sort of dogfight between 2 different aircraft as we explore their different capabilities. From time to time I like to dabble in Virtual Reality, I think VR is a great new technology and I love to show that stuff off for the channel from time to time.
    If you enjoy war thunder or Microsoft flight simulator 2020, consider getting yourself into Digital Combat Simulator by Eagle Dynamics, the Combat side of Aviation with the BVR and Dogfights really provides a different and interesting perspective on aviation. You can fly all kinds of combat aircraft including the F-16, F-15, F-14, JF-17, Su-27, Mig-29, Mirage and the F-18 Hornet along with many other aircraft and helicopters like the Ka-50 and Mi-8.

      @@floydnimrod1826 Um... I would argue definitely not. The late model mosquitos with the 2 stage merlins (not like the one we have in dcs) would eat any p38 alive in level speed, acceleration, dive performance, and turn rate. Not to mention it was a much more versatile aircraft in low level strike, night fighting, etc.
      The p38 is still good obviously, but until the very late models it was hampered. Its also a somewhat older design than the mosquito.

    I always enjoy your WWII videos but this one is kinda special. My father was in the Navy and was a part of the first troop landing in Guadalcanal. He was a machinist first class and was in charge of keeping the landing craft operational. People do not know the hell those troops endured in the Pacific Theater. My dad spoke highly of Pappy Boyington because of the air cover his squadron provided when no one else would. My dad was one of 19 survivors when a Japanese sub put a torpedo midship of the LST-342 he was on at the time. They were on their way to the Solomon Islands on a secret mission. The stern of the ship sank but the bow floated. My dad was the only crew member left. The bow of the ship was towed in to the island of Tulagi. There are photos on the internet showing what is left of the bow of the LST-342 beached there as of today. I sure would like to see you go after some Zeros with a F4u Corsair. :-)

      I think the Zero is that much slower than a Spitfire if we're comparing A6M2 and the first Mk of Spitfires. The Zero is also a lot lighter, so the low wing-loading should help. It would be pretty close so I think ultimately it may come down to skill.

    Would be nice a Vietnam Map, F-4 with old real missile problems and a Vietnam campaign. And why not, a Vietnam campaign for Huey too, but it’s too early i think…
    However, ED should replicate the F-4E, with no missile problems….

    I was always wondering when DCS would get some Pacific stuff it seems like the perfect place for it. The maps will be mostly water, and you can have interesting fights between fleets. There's also some really awesome battles events that would be fun to try to reenact as well.
    And is it maybe just me but .50 cal seems kinda weak in DCS? If you look at irl vids, .50 would dish out some really good pain but here planes seem to soak it up. Anyway thank you again for the vid really nice to just chill and watch.

      @@Mike_Romeo Not yet. The Corsair is definately in the works by Magnitude 3 (including a carrier) and Nick Gray literally wants to have a Hellcat in DCS, so that might be one of their next WWII modules - in other words, those are the most likely to come next, maybe the 262 as well. We just need someone to make at least a Zero, though.
