If you haven't seen our other War Thunder Movie here is a our recreation of Dunkirk ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TJCcOgcacN0.html

Imagine this as a gamemode, it would be so epic.

This is everyone’s expectations for world war mode.

28:03 "Your best friend yesterday, a dead pilot today...."

12:15 this shot with the ships whistle gives me nothing but chills every time

Great custom battle, cant wait till the next one :D Ps i'm was the American dive bomber with the Red 8 on the wings

The plane’s graphics: beautiful, truly stunning. The NPC soldier Graphics: PS1 Hagrid

Lets just take a moment of silence for the brave soldiers who fought and died there...

Yorktown's gone, Yorktown's gone.. American sailor: "About time!"

28:03 Guy in the background: I'm going down boys, goodbye... I felt it 😞

American soldiers: *casual conversation* Japanese Soldiers: *screaming about honor and kamikaze*

27:00 - 29:05 that battlefield 1 theme tho, literally makes it more dramatic

2:46 Flys when i open the outside door

*"Hey grandpa, I want a story about your greatest time"* *"Come kiddo, I'll show you my legacy, The Greatest Story : Battle of Midway"*

Netflix: Are you still watching? Someone’s daughter: 15:01

2:42 Epic moment right there, that clip was fire

I love how he added the Stuka sirens lmao it make’s it feel more like a Hollywood movie haha

Did anyone else notice that there is battlefield 1 music playing? I’m pretty sure it’s from the campaign called, “Friends in High Places”, which is pretty cool. Now that this ended I want to play battlefield. Edit: after about 20 different people told me that it’s from battlefield 1 apocalypse dlc, while writing this I was referring to the song at 14:20.

21:31 *Japanese bombs the Hornet* American sailors: *Laughs hysterically*

24:07 was possibly the greatest realistic example of a Japanese torpedo bomb attack I've ever seen it was super realistic

14:30 OMG that song! Remembered me of BF1 with my friends.. Good old times

If only War thunder was actually like this for everyone.

Just imagine that geniuine pilot conversation would go down like this :"mhmmmm men this japanese dive bombers look solo goood!"

Imagine this with the "New Power" graphic update lmao socool

8:30 That film filter makes it look so realistic that I thought it was actual footage for a second. Great work!

16:58 that would be terrifying to see in real life

8:32 I love how they made this clip look like it was from an old 1940s recording camera.

“Bullseye! Bullseye! YAHOO!” Midway 1976

20:03 why do I hear a Stuka when looking at a Japanese dive bomber????

28:00 this dive scene give me chills, amazing

Aircraft carrier got bombed. US navy : *laugh

US planes: *ready to takeoff* Phlydaily: *ottoman theme plays*

This is epic in so many ways.... Imagine The Battle of Britain or the Battle of Kursk being played in this game.

The moment Yorktown was lost I heard someone say "about time" that man is a sympathizer, put him on trial lol! Great one Phly I can't enjoy your videos enough, there is always room for more.

5:40 is an incredible moment, that flyby was so sick

2:40 and the Battle of Midway has only just begun.

I love your channel so much Phly you just put a special flair on everything you do and your love for this stuff shows. This was so cool to watch felt like a straight movie in the beginning and honestly all the way throughout.

*_THE BATTLEFIELD 1 MUSIC BRINGS ME BACK_* 12:20 especially the Ottoman operations theme

This world be cooler when everyone would use a voice changer so it would sound like a radio from ww2.

I wonder if you could do the Battle of Kursk as a War Thunder Movie. It wasn't only the biggest Tank Battle during WWII, but also the biggest Air Battle during this time, with the biggest single loss in Airframes for the Luftwaffe. Since Kursk, the Luftwaffe never recovered from that loss and the rest is History.

28:42 I had “memories” of the movie “based on this video I’m sure” at the end before they bombed the Carrier, and in the movie they said “this is for pearl” (then dropped there Bomb)

“Some speculate....” (If you play BF1 and recognize the last song, you understand)

When you forget schools over

This is awesome. I am not an active War Thunder player at all, just watching your videos @phlydaily because they are fun to watch. But this .. is epic. The effort you guys must have put into this is phenomenal and the material speaks for itself. Well done all around, I love it! Watching Battle of Britain next :D

Man it looks so fun to be a part of something like this. Even not being on comms just playing and enjoying the game on this scale

God the sound design in the cinematic parts is stellar

8:30 dude this is the coolest freakin thing I love that edit

That dive bombing at the end though, from the epic camera angles to the plane getting hit reminding you that the "hero" here was not invincible, and the battlefield 1 music in the background. I love it

When will watching this ever get old? Another fantastic banger from Phly

That poor guy coming in at Yorktown six. Little did he know I was there so I went on a full Fletcher broadside with HE-VT. F

28:42 the way the music synced up near-perfectly with the explosion :D also, battlefield 1 music! nice!

20:00 everything from here is simply too good, it feels so realistic and gives me the chills

Loved the video PhlyDaily! That Kamikaze Attack at Timeframe 20:40-20:50 added a bit of ahistorical flavor but not so much as to be like a "What if" like battle. I'm watching this on the 78th anniversary of the most important part of the Guadalcanal Campaign, the night/day that the Japanese Navy forced us out of the New Georgia sound. A battle that had so many Allied casualties that it earned the nickname "Iron Bottom Sound". American casualties are as follows: • 3 New Orleans class Heavy Cruisers (USS Astoria (Design 1), USS Quincy and USS Vincennes (Design 3)) • 2 Atlanta class Light Anti-Aircraft Cruisers (USS Atlanta CL-51 and USS Juneau CL-52) • USS Laffey (Benson Class, DD-459) and 4 Other Destroyers Allied casualties included the loss of the HMAS Canberra.I Also, with the loss of Juneau were all five Sullivan brothers from Waterloo, Iowa. Apparently, four of them were at their posts during the battle while the fifth and youngest of the group was in sick bay. They had just gotten news that the wife of the youngest brother was about to give birth and they were waiting on the news whilst still performing their duties. When the Juneau was sinking, the four older brothers got to the life boats and then remembered that the fifth was in sick bay, went back for him, and by then the ship was so far gone and the fifth brother was so badly injured from shrapnel (I think?) that they all decided to stay together and go down with the ship. The clause that is commonly referred to as "The Sullivan rule" to this day, was already in place at that time, but because of this instance, it is, even now, adhered to with strict measures in order to ensure that something like this wouldn't happen again. Would love to see you try this part of the Guadalcanal Campaign on for size though, wouldn't hurt to have the retaliatory attack on the Japanese fleet the following night too.

Before this move: "War Thunder? Interesting. It's no DCS though." After this movie: "I think I need to install this now."

25:25 we needed some 3D glasses for that

"There's a white A6M2 on a.. on a.." ".. _Uh-oh_ .."

Bro that’s so beautiful

Plane users: *serious* Boat users: *haha lmao this is so fun!*

26:59 Is it sad that rewatching this moment made me feel emotional, like there the only ones left of a formation, trying to keep their radios working and using hand signals...

Phly, I love when you do these! It brings much joy to my day! Keep it up and Webe, amazing editing by the way!

Dude imagine actually being a pilot and going through this what a rush it must have been! Damn scary too.. RIP to all the Navy pilots and sailors very funny and touching at the end! Great Work!

"Battle of Midway" - Director: PhlyDaily Tarantino

Who will win? 1. An entire carrier fleet. 2. one divey boi?

that Flight of the Pigeon at the end is the cherry on top, always play it whenever I play sim battles. Excellent work here!

Absolutely amazing honestly the music with the video sort of brought tears to my eyes I don’t know why this is just so moving in a way I can’t explain great job

Thinking that players have to make such events while gaijin does sHoOt a rOcKeT iNtO sPaCe mIlIoN tImEs tO gEt a vOuChEr make me sad. Gaijin should fire half of its crew and hire these lads

Many thanks for all your kind words! Massive shout out to both Avarik & Gentle for their fantastic work as well as all the mod staff on discord, and of course, the players. Until, the next one. - WeBe

“This is great” as many pilots on both side caught on fire and crashing to their painful death

This was really well done! Thanks for everyone who participated in the making of this video!

whats make the immersion: Scale: 10% editing: 10% Music: 80%

Japanese planes: **get shot down** *Happy Stuka noises*

My favorite moments! 2:41 The Ominous music, the Japanese planes flying past. chills 10:35 The more Triumphant music, with shots of the US fleet. perfect. 13:37 This launch scene. with the cinematic shots, it is awesome 16:57 The "Holy S**t" as an allied plane gets vaporized by Japanese fighters... once again, chills 27:56 I already explained why I liked the scene in other comments, but it's REALLY good.

25:23 man that was close

*Japanese plane falling Movies: Put a Stuka sound on it.

"We sank 3 ships and after a few years, they cursed us with a second sun."

11:47 - 14:35 is the level of detail I would love to see in standard video game campaigns or movies

I thought I recognized that music wasn't until you started rolling credits that I realized it was the Battlefield music used in Battlefield 1. That music brings back good times and good memories

Phly, pls do a “battle of Britain” movie. It would be cool to see spitfires and hurricanes fighting massive nazi bomber formations

22:24 that was my friend who got shot down! rip

now THATS the kind of goose bump-chilling video's I need in my life

This was incredibely awesome to watch! It was just legendary! I cant wait to be able to go in WWII mode

This is a masterpiece this how you give credit while having fun with friends and role-play history. everything that I saw says volumes about us epic gamers coming together for the lolz ;for the hounering, of these men for the community for friends for to live in cinematic history it's amazing how people can come together to pay their respects to not glorify war but hounour it's lost souls in my opinion this is how you show the community coming together so that is viewers and history buffs can enjoy thank u phly we love you for making our year better

team: Attack the D point! Me: why not, I'm still looking for the D

Excellent movie. Loved the graphics. Loved how formations were used and communications were actually cool. Great choice of fellas to participate. Got kinda choked up thinking of what my Grandfather went through as a antiair gunner on those ships. Bravo.

I’ve already seen this but I’m watching it again I love it ever since I seen this witch this was my first video of you I ever watched ive been playing war thunder

This is definitely the best War Thunder movie I have seen. Great job Phly and everyone involved!

**sniff* god, you had me at the end... just beautiful what you did at the end, had me in tears! wonderful job! please keep doing this, it truly made my day!

I’m speechless....the most incredible thing I have seen. Other than the word EPIC, words just can’t describe it. Incredibly well done by all.

Honestly, id love to play these historical games on WT with full immersion responibility

OMG! THIS WAS BEAUTIFUL!! Gaijin should take notes and have an event like this every now and then!!!!

I just want to say this is the best Ariel Combat and Naval Warfare ive ever seen in War Thunder

Well that was amazing, props to everyone involved and especially the editor.

When the entire live chat is just: **attack the point!** Edit: I appreciate you guys giving me 180 likes for something so shitty. Welcome to RU-vid.

11:31 is it just me or has anyone else not seen phly ever successfully land on a carrier?

Phly phly phly, the use of the battlefield themes on this video is perfect so brilliant

Even the TBD-1 was there, they definitely did their research they are usually never mentioned or shown.

THERES A HOLE IN YOUR LEFT WING

13:17 Coolest part.

Please do more of these, I love war history, war thunder and your channel it’s the best of all worlds!

The battlefield 1 music got me so emotional. especially the end, reminded me of the pigeon from Through Mud and Blood
