Revisiting Dora 9. Part 1. 

he is 96 now and still is walking on own foots and so on xD haha

Maybe unforgettable things?!

The story he told at the end about the field landing was really cool

+gus bisbal I thought the same thing as he looked towards the camera at the end. So many good memories yet so many good friends lost on all sides.

+Tumbleweed He's a Nazi, you know... I suggest you give it a thought or two...

theeltea Really, you have a copy of his membership to the Nazi party have you? You know that he was part of if because of his beliefs do you? Do you realise that soldiers, airmen follow a mission, for us as much as them. They don't get to choose what they get to do and certainly they don't join because of political reasons... because hey I want to be a NAZI! They join because they like to fight or fly combat airplanes. Wake up tot he real world instead of objecting to the principles of a game you have never even been close to.

***** Gus, I am Russian and those guys liked to fight and fly combat airplanes against my grandfather. So please, don't tell me to wake up, alright? I am quite awake already. I have no objections about people admiring his memory and enjoying his account of flying the Dora, but I won't shed a tear and be sentimental about his comrades.

OO7999999999999999 First, you're in no position to tell me to stay away from anything. Second, are you implying I should support those guys who are shedding tears for the poor nazi pilot and his friends? I have no problems with him being a pilot but for fucks sake, don't have pity on him and burst into tears about his comrades. They were agressors and fought a war of genocide. He is a survivor. Fair enough and good for him. But all these manly tears are PATHETIC and uncalled for. The guy himself wouldn't probably approve. He knew what he was doing.

That didn't make you an ace in Germany back then. You needed 50 confirmed aerial victories to be called an ace pilot. His record is still impressive, though.

@@svenschwingel8632 Incorrect sir. General standard to be an ace was five kills, this was derived from WW1. It was accepted as a rough standard to be referred to as an ace by most any pilot of any air force in WW2. The only thing demanded more and more kills from German fighter pilots (like 50 kills) was the award of the Knights Cross, this became higher and higher as the war continued.

@@johnconran9327 wrong all wong, in germany there in no ace with 5 Kills, the kind of tell the good pilots fighterace/ fliegerass dont existent in germany that Time! Only in younger time we in germany take the allied chargon of fighterace in our language! In WW2 die the " fighterace" was called Experte/ expert , and you was an expert if you had 20 or more Kills! 5 Kills or 10 Kills 15 Kills mean Nothing in german fighter terms! No one say in german air force ohhh he had 5 or 10 Kills so he is an "figtherace"! You simply was a normal pilot but After ca 20 or more Kills you was acceptet as an expert from the other "aces" experts! Ace is an allied thing , in germany it means nothing in relation with WW2!

Ich auch!

If you see this, I know I'm answering years later- but you must check out "Japanese ace interviews - Honda Minoru" posted on -Juno- TakaLeon channel on here. It's a three part interview- amazing , gripping stuff. That man has an amazing story to tell. Also -Peninsula Srs Videos have some amazing lectures from American Mustang pilots, and other veterans. The one with Mustang ace Richard Candelaria is amazing. Just a little old man telling stories, but his descriptions of dogfights are more gripping than any movie could ever hope to be.

Lost to time... And Hellcats... And Corsairs.... And P-63s...

Yes its terrible. The stories of Erich are amazingly deatiled ( much more than the subtitles let you guess ) and speaks for itself more than most history books I read. Great interview, sadly there is no part 2

Probably thr interviewer is a P 51 fanboy

@@hashteraksgage3281 Err what?

@@Red-Magic A joke

@@hashteraksgage3281 Ha.

Phil Langer Thank you for this comment. I just understood from subs, that the dcs is broken and he cant fly dora, as he did in RL.

True, in War Tunder the long nosed Fockes and Tas are shit

WarThunder is a shit kiddie game anyway

IL2 the same shit

War Thunder = Russian Bias at its best.

Chamäleon MUSTERMANN if you still think Russian bias is relevant in wt today, then you’re just dumb.

H171001 Yo-Yo replied on ED fourms: "It was not an FM issue - the joystick was not loaded with springs at all and for the pilot it was something weird because of unwanted roll input during pulling."

Oh I see, well it's awesome that they were able to make changes due to suggestions from him. Must be weird indeed for him to fly it in such a different environment.

***** This is what the majority of pilots say about flight sims without force feedback. Pilots develop a muscle memory of how much force needs to be applied in order to get a certain aircraft behaviour. Flight simmers usually have a "positional" memory (they remember the position of the stick rather than how much force is needed). Flying on a 2D screen without FFB is kind of counter-intuitive for those who experienced the real thing. What Erich says makes a lot of sense. Flying planes is a very physical experience, especially for fighter pilots. :)

+H171001 he also said that the dora had a better rate of turn than the 109. can this be true? because in EVERY single flight sim i played the FW turns very badly at mid to low speeds and tends to stall...

Except most of them flew by RPM

@@theeltea If you fly hundreds of hours, you fly by hearing. Except when you land.

@@0Turbox With a constant speed prop?

Well the German was a superior warrior in every way, and if not for Hitler and Goering shooting their own generals in the foot, England would have been taken by mid 41 after the fall of Gibralter and the royal(ly fracked) fleet cut off and slaughtered by wolf packs of Uboats in the Mediterranean. The Mustang was designed by a German ex-pat. interestingly enuff as well.

And yes I know what I'm talking about

The stick had absolutely no loading at all. No springs, absolutely.

Skip that’s it, affordable stocks with simulated force feedback will be part of he next big jump in realism! Too bad not much WWII veterans will be alive by that point...

Yeah, they should have changed it

Well you better get them quick.... they're dying like flies.

Thank from a proud owner! It’s a pity this would temain our one and only flight together in the Maltese Falcon. Best regards

Schließe mich an !

intermarer Hopefully someone will redub the translation so we hear everything ... for us non-german speakers anyway.

intermarer The translations are pretty much spot on.

H171001 Glad to hear it. I guess I was nitpicking a bit too much.

marco77acv I think that most SU planes (and you surely are talking about Su27) are still classified as they are 4G fighters that still are part of Russian armed forces. I'd like to see that... but I doubt that would happen.

SoltyII a hawk pilot perhaps?

SoltyII Su-27 It is already a plane retired by the Russian military. Some time ago they were part of the group of russianknights stunts. For this reason there is nothing classified. Google it about russian knights. Thank you.

+Marco77acv DCS Brasil You are wrong on that account, the 27 isn't retired. The different airframe indexes such as 30 and others refer to the same airframe with upgraded avionics. They are still part of the Russian Knights aerobatics team. Also, Russia has a little bit stiffer policy on what's classified in the military. That's also partly why there is no fully clickable Flanker in DCS. No data to work with.

+theeltea Thank you for the explanation .

+AppelsinDuck Because you forgot that WW2 took the lives of more than 61 million people... As much as I try to respect the guy... He was a Nazi... And well... You know...

Farking pleb if I've ever seen one. You think every German serviceman during WW2 was a Nazi?

well if u are from usa ur frist NASA director was from nazi party, an officer...look it up

Lt and your family was all scum bag commies that got killed because they started wars and fought like shit.
