An interesting video.Seen it before but still interesting.
I find the 109 instruments much easier to read,and I assume its the same IRL.Always found the British instruments very cluttered.
As for the lack of rear view visibility, the LW fighter pilots never thought anone would be behind them,so it wasn't important...

The guy in the video agreed with you completely

lol and correct me if im wrong but didn't the 109 with an experienced pilot on stick have a catlike ability to shake an aggressor at the first sign of tracer fire? i would think there confidence in their ability to shake your tail clear would maybe make up for a little bit of early warning. Just my guess

lol I got pretty inflamed on this one when it came out, if you really care about the topic and the reason why we think he's a tool do a forum search.

Uh and another thing: did u really think that these two videos would have gone unnoticed to a bunch of nerds like us lot?

well it went unnoticed to me until now (have not achieved full nerd status yet i guess )

lol well i guess i can not speak for his other reviews if he gave any but in this case (trying to be objective as i can) i believe that even though he favored the spit cockpit over the ME one he really had likes and dislikes with both. His exasperation when he sat in the ME pit was a bit over dramatic i think lol but maybe he was just legitimately surprised at how small it was. Any way I still enjoyed the vids

I liked this pair of videos and i've watched them many times. What variant of bf109 is it in the video? And the 109 cockpit does seem unbelievably small. i would assume Luftwaffe had some height restriction on pilot cadets during WWII?
