Just watched it, and, wow, how could you improve it ??
Excellent work !

I'll have to scan and post up the flight and combat training diagrams from the "Red Baron" game book..... it is quite a few pages so considerably better advice than the "Tip to help to help your opponent shoot you down quickly and easily" paragraphs in the BOP manual. The latter seemingly taken directly from Soviet fighter pilot training manuals for those flying over Finland during the "Winter War" and "Continuation War". Soviet fighter training was as legendarily poor as the Fin's was good.

The RB game book includes "Bolcke's Dicta" which is still taught to fighter pilots globally today.

That would be great! This video was absolutely fantastic! But I would also like some kind of training manual that is more extensive! Would love to have the Red Barron manual. Does anybody else know of any good training sites/books/videos.....I don't even mind paying for something. I'm new to IL2 and have been reading about dogfighting more than I have been playing the game...which is sad..lol. But I have yet to find any type of training manual that is solid. I don't need anything on flight since I'm already a pilot...just want a good fighting training aid. Thanks!

Lolz, watching this vid and a few others I notice the graphics are really good looking, almost real life...is that b/c of the really high graphic settings and a wonderful graphic card or is it some editing software to make it look that good? Also, how do u hit w/ the 20mm cannons on the spit better? They seem to drop off like right after coming out of the barrel unlike 50s that fly quite straight for awhile. Also, they like to jerk the plane around w/ recoil so they miss alot...
