As you're recreating WWII actions, I wonder if it would be possible to recreate the air battle described by Roald Dahl in his autobiography, when his squadron of 12 Hawker Hurricanes was jumped by somewhere around 150 Luftwaffe aircraft. From what I remember, Dahl described a formation flight over Athens to boost civilian morale, with their one measly squadron of the last Allied fighters in Greece, when suddenly there were German aircraft everywhere -- BF109s, Bf110s, even Ju-87s and Ju-88s. Dahl escaped and landed, then walked around the plane marveling at what seemed like hundreds of holes. I always wondered how a squadron of F-16s would do, or more modern aircraft.

with all that flak you can see why, German fighters and flak didn't really operate in the same airspace. 109's and 190's would intercept bombers after bomber formations went past the initial flak barrage by the coast and after allied fighters were forced to turn back due to fuel. Once bombers started in their bomb run they would break off and let the Flak get in. Obviously a bomber cant manoeuvre out of flak when on bombing run so the flak batteries would fire flak into a part of sky that the bombers would have to fly through rather then try and continuously lead the bombers. They would just create a wall of Flak for the bombers to fly though then move the wall to another position in front of the bombers and so on until the bombers were on egress then the fighters would come back in again. also this is a good point to mention that it is inadvisable to bail out over an area you just bombed

Really enjoy the videos. I do have to wonder on the A10 portion why you would fly in at high altitude? With the speed and engine efficiency of that plane at low altitude, wouldn’t a run at tree top altitude into the target area so your below most of the AA action be the better strategy?
@Crosshair84
7 ай бұрын
As was observed in Desert Storm, A-10s don't survive well in low-altitude contested airspace. Flying at low altitude puts them within range of more AA than flying at high altitude. A WW2 rule of thumb was "The amount of AA fire halves for every 5,000' increase in altitude. Flying at low altitude puts them in range of pretty much every autocannon and MG. With "Wall of steel" firing tactics, the A-10 is going to take hits. That the A-10 might make it back is irrelevant when it has to be scrapped after a single mission due to damage.

Additional unguided rocket pods on the A-10s and a more aggressive, low altitude approach might be interesting. Sticking with 1940s munitions; but playing more into the Warthog’s role, and engaging AAA on the axis of approach. I’m not sure how 88s would react to a wild weasel - in real life or the simulation. The closest equivalent would probably be some of the Mosquito raids.

Does DCS have flack avoidance maneuvering for bombers? In real life they changed direction, altitude or both at intervals that matched the time to target, fire and time of flight of the flak shells so they wouldn't be where the shells exploded. The bombers in the intro are just flying straight and true through the maelstrom which would have been murderous.

they learned avoidance actually cause more deaths and losses so later years they just pinned the throttles and stayed steady... as the flak wasnt accurate fire. and these planes were surprisingly tough.

WWII bombers could (and did) maneuver most of the way to the target, but once near the target, they had to stay in formation and fly straight and level. The bombardier in one of the bombers had to line up the target, and all the other planes stayed in formation in order to ensure a uniform spread. That final run at the target was when the bombers were most vulnerable.
@rorynesta7766

Just before the mayhem starts, it turns out that the Russians have sprung a trap. First the Russians have brought every Felon they have to enter the fray. When the attackers think they've got that in hand, a squadron of Chinese J-20s arrive! At some point the attackers have to choose between accomplishing the mission and surviving.
