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

[Freycinet]

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!

lol wondered what the hell was going on then

[Freycinet]

Aargh, link fixed...

I wouldn't use text popups in the videos , it kinda distracts from just watching.

machoo, you can turn them off in the lower right corner of the youtube video.

Nice to see the DM of the 109 with one gear down, not flown CoD enough to notice that kind of stuff

hey freycinet, great video as always.
I just got the game last week and i'm still figuring stuff out.

One question about the convergence.

@1:25 of ur video, is it true for the current state of the game, we need to set our convergence on all aircrafts to twice of what we want to get the distance we need? so your convergence in this video was actually 200yards. Correct?

@ 9:25 of ur video where you flamed the 109's engine, is that 109 at half the distance of ur convergence because at that moment the wingtip of the 109 was touching the rim of ur sight. I'm not critisizing the way you shoot and aim, just out of curiosity. If the 109 is right at ur convergence, would its wing be touching the horizontal bars at the middle of the sight?

Another question unrelated to this video: how to adjust the distance and base of 109's gunsight? There isn't a dial I can turn so far I haven't figured out how to do it yet.

Thanks!

I love those witty comments. it's like adding a simple plot to a combat senario. definitely makes the videos more interesting to watch.
lol~
