Default Spitfires vs. Bf-109s at the White Cliffs of Dover - Youtube vid by me.

Those damn' Jerries are coming across the Channel again, but happily a merry band of Fighter Boys are awaiting them...

I know I should try something new and exciting in every new vid I make, but sometimes it feels great to just go up in an old acquaintance: the ever so beautiful Spitfire.

Can't say I was very daring this time round, but hey, there is a war going on, and no shame in going for the easy kill, especially when it will be your fifth...

For the first time in any of my movies I paid just a little bit attention to the workings of the gunsight. And, yes, it certainly works! - There is a big difference to shooting at proper convergence and just spraying and praying as I've done till now. It is a great feeling to see the bullets hit home, with lots of pyrotechnics to show for it. Definitely one of the more satisfying parts of this sim.

The Spit is a thoroughbred, so even in my incompetent hands it becomes quite dangerous. It is clear that as a guns' platform it doesn't possess the uncanny stability of the Hurricane, but then again, in the Spit it is a good deal easier to maneuver yourself into a position where you can actually bring your guns to bear, so that certainly compensates for the lesser stability.

Enjoy this one, and as always, comments very welcome!
