G`day Peter,
Interesting approach for teaching history...
Don´t know if can help your course, but maybe some inputs are apreciated.
A massive daytime raid of He111, Do17 and a few Ju88 could be recorded with 1/4-time setting and accelerated for the video, that could work around lag and FPS issues.
To show the better sustained rate of turn of the spit compared with a 109 in a video, might cause some headache. You would definatly need some human players, maybe a not a large encouter but a 2 vs 2. But to demonstrate the burden of the pilots you might think of showing young men, still boys, sitting for hours gathered together a shack, lost in thoughts and waiting for the phone call, switching them from the easy, relaxed comfort of a garden chair into a full-scale war in about a second, knowing that the chances they won´t return are high. Furthermore the aspect of sitting in the narrow cockpit of a hurricane, spit or 109, right between hunders of liters of gas, constantly fighting an enemy you rarly see, but enduring the coldness, the sting of 100% oxygen burnt lungs, with a mix of frozen snot and tears on your face, while trying to ignore the pain in your eardrums, which is caused by the sudden pressure change in your dive, knowing that you will die alone, most likely burn alive, when your time comes. Well, that will be difficult to show with CloD, but the in my opinion the more important themes to teach young people.
A night raid might not be that impressive, due to that no large formations would be seen, the field of view in a camera is comparative small and the London large. At night, the streams of bombers flew solitary on a path and shuffled for deconflicting.
What is your time scale? Maybe I could help you with providing the a mission setup for some situation, but I cannot help you recoding, due to lack of experience with video art. But that mainly depends on the time you can wait, cause my time is limited at the moment, also have to make some skins our squad.
Best regards
