While gun camera films don't capture the approach and maneuver phases of the engagement, and fail to capture very high deflection shots, they still can be quite valuable.
They are a very good method of understanding how pilots historically made their attacks (notice the huge preponderance of low-deflection, close range shots?), and how the target planes respond when attacked (notice how very few late war German pilots don't immediately break when fired on?) which is valuable for AI programming.
For damage modeling, gun camera footage is a good method of getting the damage effects right.
