Ok. Fair. Is there a record of real guys doing it during WW2? Is it a part of a pilots savoir-vivre not to put down the enemy plane when pilot is giving up and RTB?

While dogfight enemy levels his flight and turns on navigation lights. At this point his plane is shot badly, he's probably unable to fight or escape. 1)Is this how he's begging for mercy? 2)Is it very rude to finnish him anyway? 3)Is this behaviour in any way universal or is it just what AI does in P-51 training missions.

Are you guys aware if they did something with this problem in DCS World 2.0? Remaping your keyboard to do the training should never happen in ver. 2 of any decent softwere.

This is real helpful. I have to get used to how big the plane looks like in this distances. I did that after the first training. Now its my 2nd POV but Im thinking of assigning one of the axis to the distance knob. It would feel more natural that way. If its even possible in dcs to assign axis to this function.

Thank you for taking your time to cheer us up Zimmerdylan. Today I managed to take this two planes down several times(and times that I got just one). I also managed to take down 109 but I was lucky. Didnt happened for the second time. Im going to go on with my practice expanding on new topics, like how not to compleatly destroy your engine while dogfighting. Im going through the manual for this - hope to see some answers there. Can you claryfy the meaning of this?

Yo, Chuck, man, don't get me wrong. I certainly appreciate the effort and the insight that your work gave me. I was very moved by the vintage charts that you have found. All I meant was that If you would record your voice the video could be 2minutes shorter and would have had more emotional impact on the audience :smilewink: What you guys could help me out tho is effective range of fire. Is there even a point in schooting a guy when he is more than 1000 feet away? I just spent three evenings trying those trainings scenarios and dogfighting and Im not able to do concentrated fire in grater distances yet. I know that Im hitting them once in a while, but it doesnt change anything. The enemy is still operating like nothing happened. So I was wondering whats the factor here: Are the bullets much less damaging in a greater distance, or its just me hitting him with not so many of them. Or is it both?

Hi there. Im not so new to the DCS but Im new to P-51. Looking for some friends to fly and do some damage. Any combat squadrons recruting in Europe?

I totally share your frustration here. As a newbie I spent yesterday evening pretty similar to yours. There might be something wrong with the mission but probably its us that arent that good. Lets just practice more. Today I have found this youtube presentation about bullets trajectory. its boring because you have to read but then he shows you 3 exaples in slowmo all the credit to the Chuck here.
