Gunnery Training Video – Bag the Hun

[EAF602_Joe90]

Thanks all and please keep the comments coming about the Moviestorm characters. Yes, they are a bit jerky and I will have to learn how to get the best from the program, but will they work in a serious story or will you be distracted? There are already many excellent Moviestorm machinima movies that work, but none in the flight sim community.

I also appreciate that the slides could have been up for longer, but I tried to make this entertaining as well as educational so the slide time was better kept to a minimum and music was added to give it more emotion. I hoped that anyone wanting to learn more would pause the video or download the book.

I have edited my first post to provide links and also a few of the exercise pages from the book for practice.

I welcome frank criticism so I know what will work for future movies!

Great job and of course I dig the background music.

I'll have to scan and post up the flight and combat training diagrams from the "Red Baron" game book..... it is quite a few pages so considerably better advice than the "Tip to help to help your opponent shoot you down quickly and easily" paragraphs in the BOP manual. The latter seemingly taken directly from Soviet fighter pilot training manuals for those flying over Finland during the "Winter War" and "Continuation War". Soviet fighter training was as legendarily poor as the Fin's was good.

The RB game book includes "Bolcke's Dicta" which is still taught to fighter pilots globally today.

That would be great! This video was absolutely fantastic! But I would also like some kind of training manual that is more extensive! Would love to have the Red Barron manual. Does anybody else know of any good training sites/books/videos.....I don't even mind paying for something. I'm new to IL2 and have been reading about dogfighting more than I have been playing the game...which is sad..lol. But I have yet to find any type of training manual that is solid. I don't need anything on flight since I'm already a pilot...just want a good fighting training aid. Thanks!
