    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 or even dogfighting in Battlefield 2042, 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.

      No surprise that the Kurfurst did so well. It was easily the best version of the 109. The 109G was a slug that would usually fairly easily lose to the P-51D. (The F model series 109 was stated to be better than the G model by Luftwaffe pilots). Now if it was the P-51H vs the Bf-109K (H model isn't in DCS to my knowledge), it would have gone differently. Nice flying GS, and to the opponent.

    The advantage that the Bf-109 had in these fights was it only needed a fraction of the range that was necessary for the P-51. The P-51 had a range of 1650 miles versus 547 for the Bf-109. The fact that you could build a plane that could fly hundreds of miles of miles that still had excellent dog fighting capabilities is an amazing engineering feat. It was far easier to put a short range hot rod fighter to the skies than to build a marvel like the P-51.

    Amazing fights, and a great demonstration of the 109's lethality! The tactic you describe at 3:45 is exactly why I love this plane. It's very easy to fight in the vertical with the 109 and take the energy advantage. A small piece of advice that might help - don't worry as much about getting hits with the 30mm, your 12mm MG 131 has vastly higher muzzle velocity and lots more rounds, and is plenty for wrecking an enemy fighter. Psychologically I think it's very easy to fall into trying to line up the perfect 30mm shot instead of just gunning the target down with 12mm.

      @@hanswolfgangmercer From personal experience, with DCS I mean, I have to slightly, just slightly disagree here. If you can line up the 30mm properly, most of the times, one hit is all that`s needed.
      Granted, aiming with that damn cannon isn`t an easy thing to do. The Mk.108 has horrendous ballistics. As you correctly stated, the muzzle velocity was much less since the barrel was, in practicality, too short for an airborne cannon. The problem was the space within the engine compartment itself. If I remember correctly, the predecessor of the Mk.108 actually had a longer barrel. But then again, it had to fit within the engine of the 109 so they had to shorten it. Hence the wonky trajectory of the rounds.
      That`s why the Mossie is one of my favourite go-to WWII fighters in that arena. Or the Spitfire.. Those 20mm Hispanos just wreck everything in its path. And have far superior ballistics.

    The Bf 109K-4 was a plane that could keep up with a P-51 Mustang in most aspects. A reason why the _Luftwaffe_ suffered very heavy losses in the first half of 1944 was that their primary single-engined fighters were the Bf 109G-6, which only had a top speed of 386 mph (way slower than the P-47's with the "paddle" propellers and the P-51B/C models) and the Fw-190A models, which had performance fall off dramatically above 20,000 feet altitude.

      In 1944 the Luftwaffe was vastly outnumbered. Already in 1942 over Dieppe there were around 200 german planes fighting against 1000 allied planes, a ratio of 1:5. By end of 1943 the numbers were more like 1:20..30. That was the decisive factor.

    Absolute correct, the BF 109 was made for "dive, shoot, climb", the center mounted guns also alowed to shoot from bigger distances...The German Aces, Adolf Galland, Werner Mölders and Erich "Bubi" Hartmann use it to perfection. Hartmann had 352 confirmed kills. Hans Joachim Marseille, had 158 confirmed kills over north Africa.He was not the typical german "Zoom and boom" fighter. He was known as an extraordinary pilot (with lack of discipline) with "dead eye" shooting precision.

    • @WHJeffB
      @WHJeffB 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Yeah Marseille could truly get the most out of his 109's... Loved the F model, hated the G2, which is the one that eventually killed him. Would have been interesting, had he lived, what he could have done in the later G models (G10 or G14) or a K4. Or even more hypothetically, throw the engine from the K4 into an F4... That'd be in interesting, though likely impossible combination.

    I love these dogfights, they're always more exciting than BVR fights for me in the sim, especially when I'm slinging missiles that aren't easy to defeat, it's not quite as much of a dance like these fights tend to be. These WW2 planes and the early jets are just excellent to fly and fight with, I'd really love to see more of them in DCS, especially some of the Japanese or Italian planes, and other older jets like the Meteor or G.91.

    Usually when I hear the term "turn fighter" I always got the impression of "rate fighter" because everyone wants to two-circle in them. That was my experience back when I would regularly play IL-2 Forgotten Battles/1946 online in a PVP server. This was especially true for the A6M Zero series. They were great at rate fights but their poor roll rates made one-circle fights a bit tricky. Now the FW-190 had an amazing roll rate which although it was not regarded as a "turn fighter" the roll rate combined with a good instantaneous turn rate made it very good at one-circle fights.

      In a dogfight ? Early IR missiles needed to be fired at the engine of the enemy, i.e. at his 6. That required more sneaking behind him than dogfighting. Missiles used against aircraft in WW2 were e.g. R4Ms against enemy bomber formations. Those were unguided missiles. Possibly a pilot used them also against fighters but then I guess to get rid of them to reduce weight in first place.

    I generally think of the P51 as a pure energy fighter, the spitfire as a pure turn fighter, and the BF109 as a solid mix. Although I also think the different models of the 109 varied more in terms of whether it was more of an energy or a turn fighter more so than other planes.

    • @joergmaass
      @joergmaass 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      That's what makes the 109 my favorite. Most other warbirds have one type of fight they can do and if they can't force the fight to be that fight, they lose. The 109 is an energy fighter against spitfires, a turn fighter against mustangs, and superior in every respect to the rest of the lineup.

    Much like a P-39 or a MiG-15/17/19 the guns on this will not have the same point of aim. The 30mm (or 20mm in earlier versions) shooting through the prop boss was generally intended to blow up bombers with a hit or two. If you try hitting with the cowl mounted MG 131 .51 caliber that's probably a better strategy.

    Ww2 fights are the best ACM's, like you said it's down to skill! Flaps in the 109 and especially the p51 help the most in the famous overshooting scissor knife fight, I used to fly in warbirds, I learned every plane I could fly! The Ki84 is a German killer but my plane of choice was the P47...I got good at low speed flying using flaps, 4000 hp supercharged radial would pull the weight back to speed effortlessly. I miss flying! It's my passion....I was in top 5 of the world leader boards!

  • @toddcarter1086

    Great WW2 content. I agree with several folks that talked about start altitude...I'd be interested in this fight at 25, 000 feet, where the 109 would be trying to get at B-17s/B-24s, and the 51 is playing interceptor. Or, even better, it should be a bounce, with a 109 coming in on the six of 2-4 P-51s at 8-10, 000 as the P-51s are on a fighter sweep. Lot's of good combinations.

    Hit with fire at 10:18 was a fueltank puncture and ignition. Engine was still going strong, but I guess the DCS hits-program doesn't count a fueltank fire as devastating as the IL-2 program does. In IL-2 the fueltank would explode after a few moments.

    Great high-aspect gunnery from Arch3r in the P-51 at 6:47.

  • @darssin4260
    @darssin4260 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    I think the reason why the P51 hit you at the start is because you went up directly vertical, giving him enough room to put his sights onto you. If he was sharper you would have been dead then and there - instead I believe you should've gone for a vertical spiral opposite the direction of which he turned (i.e. a counter-clockwise vertical spiral). That would have removed his ability to put his guns on you before stalling.

    • @unixfool
      @unixfool 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      He misjudged the energy state of the P-51. He also had taken his eyes off the P-51 and when he looked back, the rounds were already inbound. If he'd have kept his eyes on the P-51, he'd have at least been able to dodge the tracers (he'd have seen them coming).

    • @darssin4260
      @darssin4260 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@unixfool I think to a degree you are correct, but just because he can see them doesn't mean he's capable of fully dodging, especially near a stall state where the plane has less significantly reduced mobility. So it's no guarantee

  • @OoheavysackoO
    @OoheavysackoO 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Not sure if DCS has the F variant of the 109 but that would be a good one against an early p51. Also any 190's with the radial. Awesome vid man.

    The vid that GS took the (I think) worlds 1st jet fighter and fought the WWI planes. lol I think it would be very entertaining to launch a fully armed Thunderbolt against a full squadron of WWII planes. I mean full out...missiles and everything against a dozen or so enemies. I would be curious if a Spitfire could possibly dodge a Fox2 just from it very low heat signature and impressive turning rate. In any case, great vid.
