@@admiralinvertebrate5649 I’d really like to see it again but can’t find it anywhere. Luckily the history channel has been uploading full dogfights episodes to their channel so keep an eye on them, they’ll hopefully upload it in the future. You might also be able to download the history channel app and use the free trial to watch it there. I did that for the battle off Samar episode and canceled it before the trial ran out. It scratched the itch I had for re watching the episodes for a while until they uploaded them here
I had so much fun recording these lines. This turned out to be a great project and I hope to maybe see one with a certain triplane. Maybe? Despite headsets not being accurate to the time ;)
Amazing film!! nice use of the music and choices of the music used! I am disappointed about the inaccuracies in the film, but I am glad you pointed them out in the description and comments. Sometimes, comprises need to be made and I respect how you did your research. keep up the great films, Rawlings!!
These Video Games sure make war look like fun. I served in a Helicopter Unit in Vietnam. NO Pilots EVER talked like the script these actors are using...it is a fantasy.
My Father: PVT. Howard L. Cummings (His unit was the 784th AAA BN) and was on a Quad 50 Caliber next to the make shift control tower at Y-29 on 1-1-1945 when the attack of Y-29 took place. (His unit, was attached to the 366 fighter group of the ninth Air Force for the duration of the war.). He told us many times his children about the attack and what he witnessed, and saw narrowly being killed by striping German aircraft. As I got into adulthood, I looked up and attended reunions of the 3502nd fighter group that was on the airfield that day and participated in the battle. Their stories as well as books such as: to win the winter skies by Danny S Parker describe in detail the events of that day that collaborated with my dad’s memory of the attack 80 years ago today. God bless the memory of the fighting man and women of the Greatest Generation!
Dudes what an awesome video, I've been watching this everyday since my last comment... Y'all should do one on Midway with War Thunder, that'd be... interesting
Hi! Massive props to all the work you've put into this. I am currently making a documentary about Y-29 myself, it's for a school project and it would be really cool if we could showcase some fragments of this simulation. Would that be possible or do you rather not want it shown anywhere else? If we get permission, you will obviously be credited accordingly. Already big thanks if you're reading this and keep up the good work!
Nice film , I remember getting to my grandpas house and watch history channel’s dogfights and said I wanted a plane like the p51. Now I heard there’s a t51 it’s a replica and I’m going to get my pilot license and the money for me to get that ...
I agree that the video portion of this film is amazing, probably the best IL-2 - or any other - I have seen. Unfortunately the dialogue is so ridiculously horrible that I can't watch it again unless I mute the audio. Whoever wrote it must be in love with the typical Hollywood crap that infects most war flicks. Pilots who had diarrhea of the mouth like these, broadcasting a play-by-play account during a mission, would be chewed out and grounded for violating radio discipline. The early radios in these aircraft only permitted one-way communication, so any time you punched your mike button to speak you blocked anyone else from transmitting. That could be fatal to one of your other pilots who was under attack and couldn't be alerted because of some idiot's running commentary of the action. The right way: "Bandits 3 o'clock high" "Break, Blue 4, BREAK!!" "Red flight, follow me down" "Four 109s, 10 o'clock low" "White leader here, form up and steer 170 for home" The wrong way, as in this film: " What do we do? Continue on, or do we jump them?" Hmm, I dunno, let's take a vote. Should a fighter pilot fight? "Max power!" I really appreciate being commanded to speed up or slow down. "Heads on a swivel! Watch your six!" Thanks again. I thought I was only supposed to look straight ahead. "I'm on one." "Damn! Wasted all my ammo!" Very considerate to keep everyone posted. "John C. Meyer, remain on the runway." I guess by this time of the war the AAF dropped call signs in favor of using a pilot's full name, including a middle initial. Probably made them feel less disenfranchised and increased their self-esteem. "John, we've got bandits coming right at us." No need to tell us from which direction. We'll figure it out from the path of their tracers, or where their bullets strike our planes. "Second to none, let's do this!" Go team, go! "There's too many of them!" Too many for what? Please elaborate before you wipe yourself. "I can't get a clear shot!" How dare you try to get away. Slow down and fly straight and level. "Stay on his tail!" No, I'm gonna break off and try a 90 degree deflection shot. It's much more sporting. "Don't push your engine too far!" Roger, Captain Obvious. "Splashed another one!" Yep, really, at 5:53. Must be a lost Hellcat pilot. "Watch those enemy fighters." No thanks, I'd rather daydream. "Your engine's smoking!" Oh, OK. I thought I was skywriting. "Canopy's stuck! I can't..." Thanks for explaining as you fly into the ground. "That's the ace who's been tearing us apart." I'd recognize that speck anywhere. "Arr, you're not getting away from me!" You need to switch over to the Luftwaffe channel and let him know. "My engine's hit!" "Go easy on the throttle." You mean this lever that doesn't work any more? "Excellent work, pilots." Dammit, disenfranchised again. "...requesting landing approach." John C. Meyer, it's the one you departed 14 minutes ago and have been using for 3 weeks. And my favorite: "Happy New Year, Nazi bastards!" You big meanies. As far as "BASED ON A TRUE STORY", it's been well documented that on January 1st, 1945 the 352nd Fighter Group scored 23 confirmed kills without any losses. So just ignore the fake part showing two Mustangs being shot down with one pilot killed and think of this as "KIND OF BASED ON A TRUE STORY". But I'm sure Hollywood would go with the original title.
Thank you for your feedback. I decided to go the more hollywood approach to this short film to have a little more fun with it. As a history buff, I am very familiar with how actual communication would be done. As both a pilot and film maker, I decided to have more of a creative license for this film as a more realistic interpretation I feel could be done better in a live action film (such as Dunkirk). I am also aware that no Mustang's were lost during the battle, as stated in the description, however I do recall one being forced to land due to damage. I appreciate your input and hope you enjoyed what you saw!
@@acerawlings4351 Thanks for being a good sport. (Anyone know what that even means any more?) I loved what I saw but didn't like what I heard at all. Yeah, I get the creative license approach, but the dialogue was beyond over the top. Graham Chapman should have suddenly appeared in the middle of this, dressed in his British army colonel uniform, ordering "Stop this, stop this! This is much too silly. Either rewrite this or I will be forced to terminate this film. Right! Now get on with it!" Ah, one can only dream...
I will certainly be taking your feedback into great consideration moving forward! Making IL-2 films is a blast and this was my first attempt at giving the pilots voices. I do hope you enjoy my other videos too!.
A little more attention to historical accuracy would have made this episode first rate. My father was Lt. Alden Rigby and flew White 4 in Col J. C. Meyer's flight. No Mustangs were lost in this fight and only one was damaged by enemy fire.. The actual markings of the 390th FS, 366th FG shouldn't have been too hard to come by. Some will view this excellent visual and think that the history is correct.. Perhaps instead of the disclaimer at the beginning, "Based on an actual event", take the next step and tell the actual story.
@@acerawlings4351 Rereading my original comment, I seem to be a little harsh. The animation is first rate and the action is authentic. I am impressed with the skill of those who put this together. My father would have enjoyed watching this.
Great visuals. Terrible voice acting. Completely inaccurate. Whoever wrote this script has no idea how the conversations went during this fight. Apart from that. Pretty good.
I have a full grasp on how conversations went during those times, however I didn't make this with the intension of accuracy. More of an experimental film. All historical inaccuracies are posted in the description. :) Check out our DOGFIGHTS Red Baron short film for a more accurate film :D
Sorry, but the dialogue is corny as all hell and all the chatter between the tower and other pilots would have been a breach of radio silence except when you finally engaged the enemy.
I went for a more stylized, hollywood movie feel to make it a little more exciting. I know it makes it historically inaccurate, but I was experimenting.
Game not fluid, choppy, I notice jerks, this is the big problem of this card! this is especially noticeable near the ground. obvious lack of optimization

Looks like you guys watched the episode of Dogfights called "Death of the Luftwaffe." You have made the veterans of Y-29 proud
Where can I find that episode? I’ve been looking for it for ages.

Damn son this is one of the greatest videos i ever seen. outstanding work
Well done lads... fitting tribute to those who gave all for us!
Happy Memorial Day 2021
May we never forget!
"Dogfights" from the History Channel brought this battle to light. At least for those who want to see it from just a TV perspective.
The Best IL-2GB short film that I have ever seen! Excellent music choice and voice actors!
A masterpiece!! Keep them coming!! =D

Anyone else think the .50CAL sounds so satisfying?
Stunning work, loved this!
Excellent in every aspect! Can't better than this.
Great editing. You deserve more subs.
This video deserve more views men. Keep it up!
5:35 interesting maneuver
No! He's not doing an interesting maneuver. He was killed in a head on. That explains why his plane moved like that.
@@thefellathathuntsvatniks whattttt???? I thought he pulled a stall maneuver of some sort
@@johnfrancisterne1072 you see the smoke?

pretty good job
What are the songs that were on dogfights, I couldn’t find them.
Yeah same
Search up dogfights history channel soundtrack
I believe one was Battle March when the Thunderbolts started dogfighting.
Dudes what an awesome video, I've been watching this everyday since my last comment... Y'all should do one on Midway with War Thunder, that'd be... interesting
Very good. I've watched WW II action since 1944 and this is the best one I've seen so far!
That was kinda "turkey hunting".....hmmmm.....thought the german pilots were a Little More capable.....
How did you make this? Its so good. Great job guys
Excellent work chaps. I may have to consider having a play with this sim and investing some time to learn the cameras.
Very exciting, got my heart racing...nice job!
Very well done Boys...My Dad would have been Very impressed...And thankyou means alot..
I know this story, and seeing it in il 2 is FUCKEN AWESOME
Good to see we are not forgetting our history.
"Happy New Year Nazi Bastards" At least you did your research to know this was on New Years
I loved that weirdo who keeps yelling
Lol
Super-nifty flyboy heroes!!! I had no idea that allied pilots talked like manga characters. Rad.
I love how he used the music from Dogfights
Man that was great!
Brilliant work. Better than any real movie dogfight I've ever seen 🍺😎👍
You should get wayyyy many more subs and likes, great video!
You guys could redo the entire dogfights series. There's "a whole gaggle of them".
Excellently done.
BETTER THAN THE HISTORY DOCUMENTARY!
Nicely done.
I like that part of dogfights of y29 base in Belgium

Well hey Bob, at least you managed to take down a Focke-Wulf 190 so it's gotta count for something.

Enjoyed it!

Okay I know the people who voice acted in this but who the heck sounded like clonetroopers from star wars. It can't just be me who thought that
Bravo!
10/10. Shared.
Beautiful!!!
Some of the music used was from the History Channel TV show, Dogfights. Where did you get the music?
Well at least you’re doing away better job than the history channel at the animation
So Ace I’m looking for an episode from the series dogfights, where I believe in a Dauntless Diver bomber against 3 zero’s
Did you watch a certain Red Tails for some of these lines?
Maaaaybe ;)
if i had lived back then i would of flown thru hell and back with john c myres
Nice!
AWESOME..!
Somehow I think bailing out at that altitude would be almost fatal, especially at high speeds.
the forward momentum coming out of that plane opens your shute as low as 100ft.as you move forward.horizontally.
There's a campaign inspired by this American airfield events, available for 1946. A pointless sacrifice of much experienced Luftwaffe pilots.
Anyone else concerned that a Mustang has water injection? Especially right after takeoff
Where are the IL-2"s?
a few gulps of pure oxygen and you hangover will be gone,all ww2 pilots said so :)
