    On this channel we like to do a lot of dogfighting most videos are some sort of dogfight between 2 different aircraft as we explore their different capabilities. From time to time I like to dabble in Virtual Reality, I think VR is a great new technology and I love to show that stuff off for the channel from time to time.
    If you enjoy war thunder or Microsoft flight simulator 2020 or even dogfighting in Battlefield 2042, consider getting yourself into Digital Combat Simulator by Eagle Dynamics, the Combat side of Aviation with the BVR and Dogfights really provides a different and interesting perspective on aviation. You can fly all kinds of combat aircraft including the F-16, F-15, F-14, JF-17, Su-27, Mig-29, Mirage and the F-18 Hornet along with many other aircraft and helicopters like the Ka-50 and Mi-8.

      A local talk radio station once had a PSA in which a WW2 US army infantryman was talking about fighting across France, living in the dirt and mud, and one day seeing a wave of US bombers flying east overhead. “Man, those guys have it made! Beds to sleep in at night, hot chow every day, hot showers, what a life!” Some hours later he saw them flying west, greatly reduced in number and with a lot trailing smoke or on fire. “Boy, I’m glad I’m not up there!”

    A little historical fact: in the central district of Stalingrad (almost 1/4 of the city) after the first wave of luftwaffe bombardments there was no structurally intact buildings. And the number of alive civilians? fewer than 10.

    What distance are your guns set to to shoot so accurately in theses IL2 videos? If I remember correctly the default is set to converge at 500m, but I have heard that in real life pilots had their guns set to converge at 200-250m. Every time I watch one of these videos I am amazed how accurate your shots are over a pretty broad range of distances. From my experience planes in IL2 become extremely inaccurate when you get inside their set gun range since the shots end up left and right of the target.

      It seems quite often GS is flying planes with much of their armament mounted in the nose.
      My personal preference in IL2 has been 250, as I've experimented and found I personally can't hit beyond 350 so convergence won't really matter at longer ranges.

    Not gonna lie, I don’t want to imagine what it would be like to be in a plane spinning out of control so fast that you’re almost frozen in place, unable to easily bail out. Knowing seconds matter while they pass you by.

      What do you want him to shoot down with it? The YF-12 against the MiG-25 would be a snooze.
      Maybe he can shoot down a couple of bomber formations with the AIR-2 Genie?

    In reality, very few Soviet soldiers ended up being shot as a result of Soviet Order 227. From memory, I think the number was a few thousand. And while that may sound like a lot, it was a few thousand out of several million soldiers deployed to the German front.
