Yarnhub goes to show that it's not just about the graphics, but the cinematography as a whole that dictates the enjoyability of a video/animation. Very good visual storytelling as usual, and of course audio storytelling as well!
Amazing video as always, Yarnhub. A couple of stories you may be interested in are from the seige of Malta in WW2. One where fighter ace George Beurling of 249 squadron shot down a BF109 at a range of 800 yards while in a climbing turn. The other being that of a Bristol Beaufort crew who were shot down after attacking an Axis freighter. The crew were picked up and handed over to the Italians, who took them to Corfu and treated them well. Shortly after, the crew of the Beaufort was boarded onto a seaplane and were being flown to Taranto for interrogation. It was then that the Beaufort crew overpowered the Italians and forced the pilot to fly at gunpoint towards Sicily, and when sighting the island, made the Italian pilot turn for Malta, where they were intercepted by a patrolling Spitfire. The seaplane landed and the Beaufort crew came out, flying anything white to show to the Spitfire to not fire on the seaplane. An RAF rescue launch was sent to capture the Italian seaplane and its crew and return the Beaufort crew to Malta. A seaplane tender being used to tow the seaplane to St Paul's Bay, Malta
I'm not sure how that second Libyan pilot managed to survive, he must have ejected before being hit or something. During a documentary on the Persian Gulf War, I saw a US pilot (of a F-15 I believe) give testimony of his encounter with two Iraqi MiG-29s, he and his wingman ended up killing one while the other went into a excessively fast dive during their dogfight and violently smashed into the ground. I have heard reports of multiple fatal dogfights in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine War also. A fair number of modern pilots still die in aerial combat even with all the updated tech.
It all depends on where your hit. Those missiles in video was probably with a small warhead, while others comes with proximity warheads(sending out thousands of small projectile). Then your chance to survive falls drastically if hit in the front
You guys did a great job on the F14 cockpits together with the masks and helmets. You even made the WPN selection buttons animate with the letters on it.
I was about to comment on it, the work is amazing. However, these (1981) F-14As have a few details wrong. The most noticeable for me was the HUD, on every tomcat until 200 it was always just projected onto the front windscreen. The Sparrowhawk (F-14B 2000s upgrade) collimating HUD was as referenced above not installed until the 2000s.
Another noticeable one is the PTID in the aft cockpit, I have spent far too many hours staring at the simulated fishbowl display of the F-14B (and A) in DCS to not notice this.
@@notalexzander2 I didn't spend much time in the RIO seat compared to pilot seat. I too understand those details. But you can't expect them to animate every detail. RAZBAM took years to make their model and these guys probably just took months. That alone is an accomplishment. 👏

With respects to the movie. You mean the F-14. All hail the F-14. The carrier aircraft that is still all business to kick ass and take names. None since have given such national pride and respect.

@@dong7474 The F-14 is bout the attitude of the nation it was built from. Ground up it says this warplane is going to kick but. This plane didn't lie even on the drawing boards.

@@rayhatton7683 all that blahblah and you failed to notice how bad the Tomcat was. Stop overrating the F-14 so badly, your comment looks cringey right now. When it comes to US jet fighters the true pride of USA was and still is the F-15. Nothing retires the bird, not even time itself.
@@Leadblast For the Navy fighters tell me what has better performance and the capability. F-15 is air force. This is Navy. So why bring up something that is at it's core true.

I cannot help myself, the carrier scenes remind me of Topgun 1. Even the coffee scene. Awesome job @Yarnhub folks!
It is about f-14 so topgun the first thing ever comes in mind
Didn't you notice? The helmets of the pilots strongly resemble Cougar, Merlin, Maverick and Goose. I thought that was an awesome touch!
This story of sort was the base for the first Topgun
Wow it's almost like it's a reference
The Gulf of Sydria incident was part of what inspired the events of Top Gun.
1:33 the top gun reference is absolutely gold 🎉
Part of what makes modern air combat so idolized is that frequently all parties involved survive. It's good to hear
Maybe not all but yes its interesting to see how combat is seen when it doesn't has to end with death.
7:30 there's something interesting in this encounter that the Libyan pilots were rescued. I was sure the USA and only the USA had CSAR capabilities
As Gustav Rödel said “You shoot at a machine, not a man.”
I'm not sure how that second Libyan pilot managed to survive, he must have ejected before being hit or something. During a documentary on the Persian Gulf War, I saw a US pilot (of a F-15 I believe) give testimony of his encounter with two Iraqi MiG-29s, he and his wingman ended up killing one while the other went into a excessively fast dive during their dogfight and violently smashed into the ground.
