      It’s kinda the reality when you do it yourself. I love the warbirds. You are putting your effort into flying the planes and the tactics of dogfighting rather than programming a computer to drop bombs, firing fire and forget missiles etc. Cold War and ww2 are my favorite aspects of dcs

    Good fun and shout out to Simba, some great flying there! I think the 'unlimited re-spawns' for reds was a major problem, maybe just tweak it so they re-spawn at least 30 miles away (inland) from the target would have given you a better chance? Damn good effort though.

    Trivia. In BC Canada we know Dungeness! In BC and the Pacific North west US there is a very tasty crab called the Dungeness crab. Captain Vancouver named a spit in the olympic peninsula Dungeness Spit after Dungeness point in England. This where the crab got it's name.

Cap, well let's face it, you're basically a Group Captain with the Fact that you're always taking charge of the Situation. Would love to see some World War Two Missions from the Ground Perspective or Maybe some Commerce Interdiction at Ports like Dunkirk, Le Harve or Cherbourg at some point in the future man!

  • @andreartymiuk
    @andreartymiuk ปีที่แล้ว +6

    The Spits were getting FAR too close to their target. Spit guns are ranged for target at 300yds which is where the guns converge. Close in they are ineffective, the rounds go either side of the target. The 109's guns are in the nose so don't have the same issue, they can fire from really close.

    Also the optimal engine setting for absolute max range is 1700RPM !and Minus 4 boost. However in DCS that breaks the engine. You can also try 2000 RPM and 0 boost.

    What flashed by in war thunder in the loading screen was that the allies didn't believe the zero plane had the massive range it did have. because I think even 500 miles there and back was a lot back then when with drop tanks some of them were only 800 miles. what was the zero like 1200 or more miles. Have you guys done pby missions in dcs? They had long ass range and there were units of them run by Americans in pacific because they could reach places no other planes could. They had quite a few units and found a you tube doc about them and they had I don't remember a few dozen groups that would have flown quite a few sorties in other words attack/bomber pby groups.
