The thing with public events like that, it would have no organization or coordination whatsoever. It would be just a shitfest of griefers, try hards and just shitposters in general, you wouldnt see one squadron in formation. A player community can organize themselves and check each other out to play by the rules, also they might enjoy role playing like this.

      i game i do research too the Stuka siren was very real. It was a horn attached to German dive bombers to decrease moral and insight fear. Also the Japanese zero is perhaps one of the weakest plane in terms of armor. The reason it was so feared was because of its speed. Typical a few well placed bullets can bring down a plane

    Loved the video PhlyDaily! That Kamikaze Attack at Timeframe 20:40-20:50 added a bit of ahistorical flavor but not so much as to be like a "What if" like battle. I'm watching this on the 78th anniversary of the most important part of the Guadalcanal Campaign, the night/day that the Japanese Navy forced us out of the New Georgia sound. A battle that had so many Allied casualties that it earned the nickname "Iron Bottom Sound". American casualties are as follows:
    • 3 New Orleans class Heavy Cruisers (USS Astoria (Design 1), USS Quincy and USS Vincennes (Design 3))
    • 2 Atlanta class Light Anti-Aircraft Cruisers (USS Atlanta CL-51 and USS Juneau CL-52)
    • USS Laffey (Benson Class, DD-459) and 4 Other Destroyers
    Allied casualties included the loss of the HMAS Canberra.I
    Also, with the loss of Juneau were all five Sullivan brothers from Waterloo, Iowa. Apparently, four of them were at their posts during the battle while the fifth and youngest of the group was in sick bay. They had just gotten news that the wife of the youngest brother was about to give birth and they were waiting on the news whilst still performing their duties. When the Juneau was sinking, the four older brothers got to the life boats and then remembered that the fifth was in sick bay, went back for him, and by then the ship was so far gone and the fifth brother was so badly injured from shrapnel (I think?) that they all decided to stay together and go down with the ship.
    The clause that is commonly referred to as "The Sullivan rule" to this day, was already in place at that time, but because of this instance, it is, even now, adhered to with strict measures in order to ensure that something like this wouldn't happen again.
    Would love to see you try this part of the Guadalcanal Campaign on for size though, wouldn't hurt to have the retaliatory attack on the Japanese fleet the following night too.

    I wonder if you could do the Battle of Kursk as a War Thunder Movie. It wasn't only the biggest Tank Battle during WWII, but also the biggest Air Battle during this time, with the biggest single loss in Airframes for the Luftwaffe. Since Kursk, the Luftwaffe never recovered from that loss and the rest is History.
