Great video.  I got my first clear cut victory over a 109 on Monday night using similar scissor tactics to those shown.  Very satisfying to finally manage it.

Man it's difficult to bring down those 109s!

Well like Ape says it will get better for the Russians with the Yak and the La-5

I was rather hoping for an I-16. I guess I'm a bit of a glutton for punishment.

S!

 

 I did not find the AI hard to bring down. It becomes predictable after a bit and if you can avoid their shots then a piecemeal. LagG-3 has nice guns

Thanks AOTY, great mini review of the Alpha. where you by any chance using "SweetFX" ? 

 

I noticed that as you started your landing approach the runway looked awful, but once you came within a certain distance it improved dramaticaly, I also had this problem, but I think it is less of a problem if "SweetFX" is turned off (I was using Jasons default settings).  I wonder if it also has an effect on other distant object such as aircraft, making them difficult to spot outside of that unaliased/aliased cut off point.

The 109's are easy when you can get them to fight you... all they do is turn and climb.

Never mind the tips. Overall the video and his opinions are far more interesting. Great video!

The 109 clearly has farfegnugen.

Videos like these are like a 25 minute long ultimate trailer. Who wouldn't want to go out and buy this sim after that video?

Plenty people...not interested in flight sims

Remember - their goal is too shoot you down too.  You can sucker them down by making it a 2 circle fight or just turning away and then reversing back or forcing the overshoot as Ape did.

If a fighter can turn and also climb.."That's bad bad bad". As Bush senior would say

Great video man!  I hope to see more of your vids as the game develops.  SUBBED!

[II./JG27_Rich]

I just saw a sght that said the Yak 1 was better than the 109-E so that's very good news for Russia. I think the first 109 ever built could take on a Lagg3. I was ready that it was made with a bakelite covering over the wood witch when you think of it is a great idea but it's just too heavy of a substance for a fighter.

Thanks for posting this vid (and making it Apeoftheyear) - very interesting and I got some helpful tips for flying, too.
