POV: You are a German soldier operating a tank in the middle of world war 2. You are advancing on France from the east, morale and confidence is high between the unit. When all of a sudden, a loud boom followed by a roar bursts open your ears. An explosion goes off, hitting a tank and destroying it. Before even having time to think, a loud "BRRRRRT" shakes your tank. You open your eyes to see 5 tanks destroyed. You and your unit retreat. The next day, you make it into France and have French soldiers stuck in a building. "We will win this! We have a plane in the air to keep an eye out for bombers, there's no way to lose here". When a similar "BRRRRT"hits 2 tanks. You look up at your allied plane, to see it suddenly explode. You look around to see a plane, but there's nothing. A dark shadow looms over the battlefield, you look at the sky, only to see an aircraft as big as the sun in the sky rain hell on your friendlies. It's as if the sky opened up and destroyed everything in sight
Interesting note. The fear the sonic boom would be enough to keep people down in bunkers. Strafing runs with the F/A-18 at the bulge would be interesting.
Aww but the Germans lost anyway. This is just losing faster. I'd rather see this for the German side since, you know, its just a bloody simulation and literally no one will be hurt nor any history changed. How many videos have we seen of US carrier fleets being wiped out at this point? Who cares it's just a video game. Losing side having a chance to win is simply more dramatic and interesting in my opinion.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I’m imagining you in a Typhoon ! Also how awesome would a couple of Lancasters, armed. with a Tall Boy or Grand Slam, be taking out the armour surrounding the 101st ?
Great video..masterfully conducted but..for the sake of arguing why didnt you do the mission from high alt. To save fuel and better aiming . Germans at that time didnt have SAMs i think🤔
please guys, can you give us your speed during this kind of actions? I think it is crucial and i cant tell if you are flying 400 kmh or 1000 kmh! That would be realy nice. Keep on the god work, im your new subscriber.
Man the blast effects of weapons in DCS are non existant arent they haha so many of those tanks should have been totaled by those near hits with bombs. (also that ww2 bomber surviving a phoenix ?? wth ?)
So to be fair, the DCS damage model is not meant for modern air modern weapons against WW2 stuff. Some so times it doesn’t act quite right. - Starscream
@@nordoceltic7225 the phoenix was designed to destroy B29 super fortress scale bombers in a single proximity detonation :P a comparatively small medium bomber would nt stand a chance, the missile has 52kg of explosive as a warhead which to put into perspective is only 8kg less than a 16 inch HE shell as fired by the iowa (16 inch AP shells only have 18.5 kg of bursting charge) another example of how large a warhead this is is that a mk82 bomb has 87kg of explosive filler. a flak 88 shell only has 3kg of explosives.
@@c.g.262 this is fair, though my real surprise was the mk82’s dropped by that harrier doing nothing other than making the tanks turn off the road heh a beautiful drop idk how you could have done it much better and even the halftracks survived !
@Mighty Mouse Girlfriend my loss? This comment was originally about a 109 and Zero battle in DCS. Then you went to talk about whatever, and when someone told you the Zero wasn't on DCS you replied with your great uncle being the leader of the original Grim Reapers? Like ok, but what does that add to the original comment?
@Mighty Mouse Girlfriend my point is that real life info is not relevant to the original question. Plus the fact that it doesn't matter if a 109 has a 30mm cannon, (which early war 109s did not) the Zero could easily out-maneuver the shit out of a 109. At one point I even doubted if you knew what you were talking about, for several reasons: -You say "Zero" as if there was only 1 Zero variant during the entire war -Later Zero variants, mainly the A6M5 Otsu and A6M5 Hei did offer pilot protection, namely bulletproof glass on both the front and rear of the cockpit, steel plating behind the pilot and self-sealing fuel tanks. -The 30mm cannon was not very liked by German pilots, it was deemed as slow and inaccurate compared to the more widely available 20mm version of the same cannon. -Germans and the Japanese started using 20mm guns at roughly the same time. So if we're talking about a realistic dogfight here, both are matched in cannon firepower, with the Germans having a slight machine gun firepower advantage, 7.92mm machine guns against Japanese 7.7mm machine guns You're basically trying to compare a pretty late war 109 such as the G-6 to something very early war like the A6M2 Edit: I forgot to mention the fact that by the time the 109 G-6 you talk about entered service the Japanese were no longer using the Zero, they were using newly developed A7M2s
@Mighty Mouse Girlfriend alright, so I'm supposed to take that fom someone who treats all Zeros as one single entity? and tries to justify a dogfight by cherry-picking which aircraft to use? Mhm, yeah, typical YT stuff
How about a Battle of Berlin (or another location if you don't have the map) series where the US/UK/France and Soviet forces enter into conflict soon after the surrender of the Germans. Perhaps the Grim Reapers and their advanced equipment showing up in 1945 Germany is what sparks this war.

Valued Viewer Request = With the advent of modern computer technology, please can the GR crew recreate the Dangerzone music video by Kenny Loggins, get a member to play a different instrument each and mix it together. Dress Cap up in leather and grow an 80s paedo looking beard. Use the DCS F14 jobbie to add in B roll/cut scenes from Top Gun. Cheers 🖖🏿💦💦💦😘👍🏿
Should have had a bonus objective section where you attempted to buy time for units in the frontline to withdraw (AKA save the US 106th Division from destruction)
If you like this kind of thing, I advise you read the Axis of Time series by John Birmingham. It's absolutely solid, if slightly out of date in the understanding of what equipment would entail in the 2020s.
