I'm an old man now. Years go by like nothing. These young pilots: days were their whole adults lives. It is so so sad. God bless them all.

Turn fighting against Zeros was not what the AVG did. Chenault taught them early to use the speed of the P-40 in a dive to hit and run against them. Above 250 MPH the Zero was a brick, below that the P-40 could not turn with it and would get killed unless it dove away at high speed.

P-40's were beasts, they dont get enough credit to their role in the war in my opinion.

NICE job on the P-40's, makes me want to go and build a model of one.

P40’s usually did not take on any plane head on for the most. Chenault’s tactics were to dive on the enemy, cause the P40,s could not out maneuver the Zeros.

You do a marvelous job with the graphics, and showing all the angles. Love it

1 vote for more P 40 missions.

Cool video! Some Glenn Miller music while the FlyingTiger Pilot was on his way home would have been awesome.

Really nicely made!! Thank you!!

Thx for the video. The P-40 is my favorite aircraft of WWII, and I enjoy seeing it fly.

Btw I love these kinds of videos. Really makes Il2 shine

I love these concepts pls do more ! And btw continue the nice work

This is absolutely amazing!!!!!

Great video, lots of action!

This vid was awesome seeing the flying tigers in action. 👍🏾

Damn! Bro makes a sick combat flight sim vid and the peanut gallery all become history PhD's...sheesh...This vid kicked ass man!!

Great video! Pilot is injured, but continues to fight somehow!

Loved it. Thanks

The Americans did a great job for the Chinese Nationalists. I am very grateful.

TJ3!! I love your videos man keep up the great work. Sorry I’ve missed a lot. But I’ll be more frequent now.

I m your fan you're my Idol..even fixing the plane with the stuff ya got

Nice video I enjoyed seeing it. Regards.

Thank you for this vid ! The AVG is one of my very favorite stories form the WWII era - one reason for that is I think the P-40 is one of the coolest looking aircraft of that time - especially with the shark mouth painted on the cowling. According to History Channel's "Dogfights" series it was Australians that first used the shark mouth - stands to reason - Aussies know a thing or two about big sharks. By the time U.S. pilots first tangled with the Japanese the P-40 was obsolete and at a terrible disadvantage with Zeros. AVG's commander Claire Chenault told his outfit it was suicide to try and dogfight a Zero. In light of that seeing a P-40 catch and kill a climbing Zero in a steep bank - that's game play and I'm cool with it - but in real life 80 some years ago - not a chance in hell. Still a great looking fighter and an excellent video - thank you !

Well done !

"These are German planes painted in japanese livery" *See's Russian LA-5*

Well done on the P-40,and the film is excellent quality,but if I am not mistaken that were flying Mitsu Hamakis. I can be wrong also.

Excellent

Awesome!!!

"Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?" Bluto Blutarsky

It is easy to out turn that kind of zero ;) Nicely done.

9:02 BUTTER🥶❤️

God, I love the P40

That huge radiator cowling lend itself well to paint a shark mouth over it. 👍

Super video, will start patreon in Dec.

Old man worked on Guam b29s. He would have loved this....p40. Was vastly underpowered but a war hawk for sure

What? Russian fighters and JU-88's with meatballs?? Look, here's the thing, the Japanese bombers were more fragile than the JU-88's, but the Japanese fighters, either the zero's or the older lighter ones with the open cockpit and the fixed landing gear were considerably more nimble than those Russian fighters. And the Japanese pilots in those aircraft, at this point in time were some of the most practiced and skillful pilots in any airforce. The whole character of the fight changes. it's a good part of the reason why the AVG pilots in their P-40's are fighting in the vertical. Smash and grab raids on the bomber formations, boom and zoom just as much as possible.

Thanks for the video. I think that the Japanese pilot was flying either a LA-5 or a LA-7. :)

You must have unlimited ammo selected! lot's of fun!

ur vidios r great.

Kent Williams "The Japanese fighters are, in fact, a Russian LA7!" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is not an LA-7. This is the LA-5, the first model of the LA series. In fact, the LA-5 is an LAGG-3 glider with a new more powerful air-cooled engine. LA-5, then LA-5 FN, then LA-7. LA-7 was almost completely metal (aluminum). But even an LA-5, with a more or less experienced pilot, would not give the P-40 a single chance. Bombers, these are German Ju-88s. There are no Japanese planes in the video.

Aussies loved the p40 and tomahawk

The Japanese fighters are, in fact, a Russian LA7!

Tj3 i love your vids but i have a sugestion try to bomb trains with a 500 kg bomb with the stuka dive bomber please do

Raf pilots who flew the P-40 liked it better than they did the Hawker Hurricane and the Germans were more afraid if it. A diving Warhawk with six 50's blazing must have been very effective!

I have been flying the P-40 for a while now and it's a good plane 6×50. Cals and can hold 2×100 kg and 1×500 kg bombs is just godly one notable disadvantage of the P-40 is it cant turn it turns like a bus so Japanese maneuverable fighters like the Zero and the Oscar can out turn you one thing that I always do is that the stall rate of the P-40 is very low it's around 50 mph for me that its starts to stall so besting that you will do is get as much altitude if a Fighter is climbing up to you then you climb up as well since the P-40 can get to 400 mph pretty fast if that said enemy fighter stall the go and attack the enemy basically boom and zoom tactics

Very Good 👍 video, however I thought that the P- 40 had damage and a wounded pilot? Just a question, video was great, what type rig are you using, do you mind sharing the specs? Thanks

I guess it's the limits of the software, but planes can't slow down, hover, and then make a turn, as they are portrayed doing here. But great attention to detail on both the planes and the scenery.

Their you go a P 40 Warhawk Pacific theatre dude

If the battle of Burma ever gets covered, let’s pray it’s done by Team Fusion and not 1C.

P 40 warhawk its so cool

Air gunners as laser accurate as I remember from the original IL2. No need for fighter escorts in this game series. Looks great though.

Ok, I like the history. But what the heck are the two white blips in the lower right corner at 3:11 in the video? Gaming UFO's LOL?

I am a big fan of Pacific Fighters, also from IL-2. The only simulator and /or game I liked to play. What are they waiting for? I guess I'll have to install an emulator and use the old PF on my Mac (the old gem ran on Windows XP, it should work), but a new edition is very much needed!

You should use the P=51 Mustang next

The Ju88 does look like the Lorna Bomber.

Boy, those Jap planes were tough. Must be a mith they light up after couple of bursts. Yes, i read it , chill & start Flying your P40 more. lol

FYI, Japanese pilots did not use parachutes. In fact, they were not allowed to have them as their superiors believed that if they were that bad a pilot, then they would go down with the plane.

A... He see's a Zero... Wouldn't it be an Oscar?

Good video, the Japanese Zero fighter was more agile and had a faster climb than the P-40 but the p-40 was tougher,, and could outdive the Zero. Using apropriate tactics the warhawk could beat the Zero.

I have to ask what game is this you use?? I want to play it.TY

Right a plane that doesn't run out of bullets

pilot: *gets hurt* pilot: oh no...anyway

To the best of my knowledge the VFG never actually fought any zeros, not saw any. They did get intelligence on them from the Chinese.

If this was a game I would like to play this

好看👀

those planes looked like german ju-88 bombers and russian la-7 fighters with japanese markings on them.

Comparing this work and that of “Dogfights”.: The image quality is much better, here. The clarity is better, there. It may be the use of tracer bullets that make it clear, how the aiming of the shots is done.... that is, the leading of shots. This is much harder to see, here.

AVG vs Ju-88 & Lagg's--really??!

What's the point if you can't get the planes right !! ?

My father work on P-40s, B-24's ad P-51's. He said the P-40's came back but shouldn't have. They were all shot to shit.

Ah, so! The Japanese flew Ju-88s. Good thing you got the P40s right - it could very well have been Hawker Typhoons...

what is the name of the game?

I take it that the wounded pilot survived his wounds, and was able to return to action once his wounds had healed?

From what I have read in China I believe the Japanese flew a lot of Oscars. The precursor to the Zero.

It is rather fun to watch a Soviet Fighter get nailed by a P40.

japonese Ju-88 bombers?

What happened to the bailed out crewmembers? We're they captured by the Chinese?

Never saw a P-40 that could out turn a Zeros....

Pretty Good Video About Everyone's Favorite AVG & Those That Followed. If You Can, Give 'Into The Teeth Of The Tiger' A Read, You Won't Be Sorry.

can you put the skinpack in the description?

Favor de agregar subtitulos en español gracias

Das die Japaner 88ziger flogen ist neu in der Geschichte der Luftfahrt.

I recommend the Nobel Peace Prize for the Japanese Pilots not firing a single shot.

日本の一式陸攻とゼロ戦が、、、、、P-40の化け物め！

Pretty good videos. But you really have to work on your depiction of Japanese fighters. Also the P40 would never get into a turning fight with a Zero. That was a battle the Warhawk simply couldn't win. The AVG always used hit and run tactics to take advantage of the P40s superior diving ability and greater firepower.

Did the japanese really fly Ju88s? 🤔

Japanese bomber Ju-88??

Is this a mod or something?

Flying Tigers 飛虎隊

Those are JU88's.

Schlimme Kampfhandlungen. Die armen Menschen, die dort dabei sterben mussten.

Japanese LA 5 ????!!!!

Japanese Ju 88's.

Japonské Ju 88 a La 5 ... :)

To plano p 40 tomawalk

warum schießen die japaner nicht zurück ?

nice art but there was no way in this universe a P-49 would turn inside a Zero; the P-40 was such a terrible dogfighter that pilots were instructed to dive out of the sun and the the positive energy to climb back up over the enemy; NO ONE flew in a straight line that long and lived in ANY air war;

That's a j2m Raiden the useless enemy fighter not the a6m zero
