- Online combat footage with post-hoc commentary.
The icons/ labels do not show when actually flying on the server. These are turned on in the replay and only shown in the video.
My specs:
AMD 5900x, AMD 6900XT, 64GB 3200 RAM, Auros Pro X570 motherboard, 2TB M.2 drive
VKB SCG Joystick with GF3 base and 20cm extension
Warthog Throttle
I have MFG Crosswind rudder pedals
Reverb G2 VR headset for flying, Track-IR for post-flight external views recording. - Hry
This format is incredibly helpful. One thing you did early in the video is you had said what a particular Spit pilot should have done to avoid the disadvantaged fight that he would soon be stuck in. That type of commentary is also very helpful for those of us who are likely going to be in those situations more often as beginners.
If I may make a request/suggestion, one thing that I know would help new players (and couldn't hurt all the rest of us on your server... ) would be a video showing us what to look for and walking us through your target ID process from the perspective of a few engagements. Something as simple as when you said "I just noticed he had stripes here" is an important indicator that you probably don't even realize you're looking at, and new players would never think of. This is exactly the sort of video that helped and inspired me so much when I was new and just getting into warbirds (il2 in my case), and VERY nervous about taking the plunge into the deep waters of multiplayer! Thank you for this, and I very much enjoyed it!
Echoing the others, this is very helpful. I was on at the same time as you a few days back with the 109 on trial, and I pretty sure it was you saying "stop turning!" over the Comms. Makes sense now :)
The labels and commentary really help us follow along. Please use this format for future videos. I’m sure it’s more work, but it’s worth it.
The gun camera style shots were awesome
First timer here. That was great. Really enjoyed this. Enjoyed the format. Enjoyed the commentary particularly how you tell us what you were thinking, how you thought on occasion you might have got some shots on and then flashback to show how you were right/wrong and what you might have done in their position. Really insightful. Thanks.
A good, engaging format.
New format is interesting. Labels make sense for the sake of the movie.
Quality gameplay right here
Excellent commentary, very helpful for someone like me who wants to go on multiplayer servers with a warbird for the first time!
Super vid Phil - I always look out for your content.
Commentary and external views are really great, Excellent flying, some practice hours there!
Lovely! Always enjoy 109s!
I really enjoy the format! I learned a lot!
Hi Phil , I really like this sort of format . The talk through of your processes is very informative and the tips/tactic are extremely useful for a relative novice like myself .
Phil the flying Kiwi. Thanks for the video mate. =)
Very nice video Phil, good tips and great scenary! Its Ratel 👍🏻
Your videos are GREAT and VERY helpful!
Phil, this format is fantastic. As a mostly allied pilot, watching these is similar to watching a horror movie. The 109 is terrifying when flown cooly and collected; then the added commentary of your coolness in your craft is chilling. Love it!
Great stuff here Phil, keep up the good work.
The best format so far for me!
Absolutely gorgeous scenery and I'm really appreciating the new commentary style and thought process for both sides, pointing out mistakes by adversaries etc. It's a bit spoiled by seal clubbing aspects of flying a late model 109 spacecraft against inferior and earlier period tech who have to surprise you or have a massive energy advantage to have a chance of winning/surviving, but that's DCS WW2 for the foreseeable future. A huge reason why I have avoided DCS WW2. Oh well, hopefully it gets updated to period appropriate tech if ED decides they really wanted to push WW2 content.
A very rare opinion that the k4 without mw50 is a spacecraft. Usually I have to put up with howls of dissatisfaction that the k4 is so handicapped in this configuration.
@@philstyle Ah, didn't realize you had the MW50 disabled. Sorry. Never flown it with it switched off. Will have to give that a try. ;)
@@ziljanvega3879 I think there are some nice performane charts out there that show the mw50-free k4 is a lot closer to the mid 44 variants, which is why we use that configuration, until/ if we ever get a g6 or g14 from ED
It is also slower than the p51 at all altitudes. Makes for a much more even
fight.
@@philstyle That's really good info, thanks. Is MW50 disabled on all BF109s on the SoW server in the earlier missions?
@@ziljanvega3879
All 109s on earlier missions are MW50 free. From June 30th there are a limited number of MW50 spawns only at the rear bases.
You can read a bit more on the server FAQ at the link below, expand out the two sections "why is there no MW50. . . " and "how do you explain the choice of flyables . . ."

I love it ! More interesting to watch, you Can also add some live scenes in retrospective
Thank you, PS. I really needed this this morning. Carry on!
great video!
This was amazing
Nice one, liked it a lot!
If theres one thing I'd like to add is slowmo for those guncams.
Good job!
Phil, you have to finish your main course if you want to get desert...no kill for anyone if he successfully puts it down in a field. ;-) Great vid. I think this format works really. If you included more involved fights (2v2 for example) probably some TacView may help explain things too but that said keeping it to these glorious visuals looks wonderful. I've donated to the server - please do buy some beer with it.
hahaha! I thought my plate was clean.. I didn't see the scraps on the underside . . :)
After playing SOW a couple of times I don't know how you and the others spot aircraft so far away! 👏
Years of practice.
After a "couple of times" I was still trying to get airborne.
YES..this format, with labels is appreciated! On monitor via playback, can not see a thing, as for bad Guys. Its a whole lot different, than when you are in game. I do love me some VR, in DCS. Best exercise I get most days! As a friend calls it.."Chair Yoga" lol I have some serious Neck Muscles now lol I havent played very long, so a question. How do you turn off "Tracers"? Took me for a loop, on one of the clips lol Ok, he is at 8000? Leaving Contrails? DUH...he said METERS...so like 24k + lol American schooling..I was slow, but I got there 🤣🤣 Awesome video, Sir
props for using no tracer line
@10:16 shieeeeet that was close 😄
love the videos, need all the help I can get with strategy in the 109.
Good stuff... Though don't expect a beer from the guy that gunned the 47 just before bellying in... That's the guy that just gets taller if he takes Viagra.
Right on..!!
Amazing! Any specific favorite name of server You are flying or random?
Do you perhaps know who the culprit is in the end...? Asking for a friend....
Of course I do. And we will have a good laugh about it
He never pays his bar bills!
Nice one Phil. Have you tried the Mosquito yet? Looking forward to seeing you fly a sortie or two.
I liked that Phil 8)
Great video. Is there a TacView to download? My TV recordings show own aircraft only and somewhere I read the server admin probably had disabled TV export.
Btw: I was shot down a couple of times recently when flying in a straight line because I was reading the manual or configuring the controls. I stopped reading the manual and configuring controls while in the air. It did not help. Still remains one of my favorite online servers.
Ich think DCS is improved. I like the enginesound.
Another awesome video. Nicely narrated, and I like the way you casually explain your decision making. Good to see you back.
For the quick one circle turns, are you using a bit of flap every time? I always found the Dora had a better snap turn.
Yeah, if I have some good airspeed and I want to whip her around I tend to drop some flap during the first few seconds of a turn. But the flap usually has to be retracted pretty quickly too, due to the drag penalty.
no one got the r2d2 sound at 5:01 ? :D
Ive started flying online in SOW how do you see contacts i only see little Dots . ??? very difficult .
Are you using trackir or VR . too zoom into gunsight .
I really like this format, it gets my vote.
Out of curiosity, Phil, is there a reason why Mossies are not available on SoW at the moment, I can fly the Spit fine, but I would love to join in the Mos.
To answer my own question for others benefit, I will quote from SoW's info site; "Note that Storm of War will not be including the DH.98 Mosquito on the server until after the FW190 A-8 bugs and issues have been addressed.", if you go to SoW's info site, there's a hyperlink to said bugs.
Enjoyed the video immensely thank you for posting. Could I ask do you always use no tracers, and also what is the convergence for your guns set at ?.
Since the developers got the tracer-free load-out working, yes, I use it all the time. Convergence is default and I have no idea what it is. hardly matters when you get in close enough.
Thank you for you answer.
@@0040636bf109e 109 has it's guns in the nose anyways, so convergence doesnt really play a role, i pity the spits for their wingmounted cannons every time they punch holes around my wings :D
didn't realize the storm of war server allowed labels
It doesn't
How are you finding spotting contacts in VR compared to flat screen?
At long range (15km+ was easier on monitor)
At medium range, similar...mabye slightly better on monitor
At close range, I prefer VR due to the ability to judge attitude and closure better
g'day phil
im a noob, ive had dcs world for two weeks or so, i got it when the mozzie came out. im flying and taxiing pretty good, take off and landing are marginal but im getting up and down without killing myself now jsut not very pretty. as the crew chief says in the battle of brittian "its enough to make you weep"
im having trouble with the spitfire and would appreciate your or anyone elses thoughts. specifically the first mission of the big show. at about the time your voice over starts saying to break the wrong way, my engine cuts out. the fuel pressure light comes on, the prop keeps spinning and if i go lower it starts again after a couple of minutes and revs up to 4k rpm when it kicks back in. but it leaves you heaps lower than the fight with 109's raining down on you. i thought it was the drop tank running out, tried dropping it heaps earlier and it still stalls. ive tried the tank pressure switch next to the primer handle because you are at 25,00 feet, still stalled. on the dcs world forums it says it could be coolant temp, so i tried to flick the radiator flap switch next to pilot heating switch still didnt work. ive also gone harder 2900rpm +12/15 boost in the climb to 25k feet, to try to keep the coolant temp higher ,still does it. ive even rewatched your video on it a couple of times to see if im doing something wrong and i cant see you doing anything different.
reflected says in the dcs world forum post you can just skip it but its already an expensive enough game without skipping content you paid for. so i spose im asking more experienced players am i doing something wrong or is it the game or is it something about flying around at high altitudes in the spit that i dont know about?
thanking you in advance

Probably just need to turn your fuel pump on.
Jump on the storm.of war discord if you're having issues. Easier to get help than in youtube comment section.
@@philstyle your a bright shiny star mate. not only did it sound like i needed to turn my fuel pump on, i actually did have to turn it on. problem fixed what a ripper
Can you explain "somebody owes me a weisen?" Google translate says weisen is a point. Is that what you are meaning to say, or did I get the word wrong? I am New to learning german.
A weizen, not a weisen.
I..love..to
.fly...your....good....
What server is that? I can't find any with labels on :(
Labels are off on the server.
I enabled them in the replay file.
Storm of Was allows use of labels?
No. It does not.
it really bothers me that you see the lettering of the player's name WELL before you see the crafts. feels like a major immersion destroyer and generally violates the whole spirit of the game. edit: ok this is the first time watching this so maybe i'm just confused. is this an option for replays or is it part of the UI during gameplay?
It's only on for the replay/ video. It is disabled when flying.
Wheat Beer? Yuk!

In the nicest possible way, these videos are why I would never attempt multiplayer: the huge numbers of skilled and unbeatable pilots with thousands of hours under their belts. I don't have the mental fortitude to take that much discouragement 🙄
I thought this was a realistic server? Why do you have labels on? Thats cheating..
Listen to the commentary. The labels are OFF on the server.. . . and anyone who flies on the server would know that.
I edit the replay to turn them on when filming the video for CZcams.
@@philstyle The Wadsworth Constant
@@BigStevieStyle fair enough.
I don't put un-necessary bullshit, long intro animations and requests to buy crap (aka merch) in my videos. My pre-ambles are there to set context and explain the video.
@@philstyle I love you man.. x
