[38dragoon38]

Please can somebody tell me where this clip is from and where I can get hold of it. Excellent graphics!

I feel bad for the last wild cat that crashed :(

F4Fが取り始めた零戦対策って一撃離脱じゃなくてサッチウィー­ブ(挟み撃ち的な戦法)じゃないっけ？

[45mikimiki1]

@pochipotch 確かにそうですけど、一撃離脱が基本でしょう！

[TA050105]

後半になると零戦じゃ歯が立たない敵が出てくるから。活躍できた­のは前半だけだね。

[zclass37]

@TA050105

違うな。Ｆ4Ｆでも十分に対抗できるさ。それの鍵は戦法だ。

米軍は一撃離脱戦法をゼロ戦に使いだしたから太刀打ちできなくな­ったのだ。

もし、その戦法を発見できなかったらゼロや隼は戦争終結まで無敵­だっただろう。

well made film!!

[askjiir]

Weird... 

[carnage2681]

I would say this is the Intro of "1942", and old Microprose Flight Simulater !

[todddoom]

Wildcat hat a 2 to 1 kill ratio to Japs, Hellcat had a 19 to 1 kill ratio. So sorry about your airplanes being shot down at such a high rate.

[TheGodParticle]

@marcelo5252 What the hell is that supose to mean?

[TheGodParticle]

What the hell is this. I do not want to watch US aircraft shot down. and as for that voice...

[CapKorzeniowski]

At first I thought it was from "History Channel - Dogfights", but then a US plane was shot down ... and the voice of the speaker - still lame, but differently...

[Treetop64]

Wha... is that windows text to speech...? XD!

[pilotdave1000]

[naosuketyan]

アメ公を叩き落せ！。

[pochipotch]

証言者は、このきりもみ状態からどうやって脱出したのだろう？引­田天功か？

[RealSamuraiHibaru]

引田天功ｗｗｗ

上手いこと言いますね～。ちなみに天功のカラー写真つきの本を読­んだ時、小学生だったボクは天功のエロいコスチューム見てドキド­キしてました！天功カワイイですよね。ペチャ×イだけど・・・

[CheckMySix]

Hi guys

Excellent CGI I think this is the work of Masaru Tochibayashi, aka "Tochy Suppon", ?

Shame they got Dr Stephen Hawking to do Amerian pilot's voice. lol :p

BTW awesome movie,what is it called?

Respect

CM6 :-)

[truthquest]

you're right about the auther, yeah, made by the same guy.

I don't know if Dr.Hawkns cooperated with his works, though. :P

this movie's name is, 1942, one of his brilliant works.

you can easily check it on his website.

[KyleLexington]

yea

[RenerDeCastro]

looks like a cutscene from a video game like that p-51 vs ki84 video with the same voice accent

[Stover36]

sorry, the SBD is the dive bomber, the wildcat is the fighter

[blownglasslide]

SBDs were often used as fighters before the Navy began to assign more Wildcats the their carriers. Some SBD pilots were confirmed aces and the SBD was the only WWII bomber aircraft to have a better than 1 to 1 kill ratio against enemy aircraft

[MrRoute2]

@blownglasslide-I would LOVE to know your source 'cause my dad flew SBDs during WWII. Yes, they were used as Combat Air Patrol over carriers and there are examples of SBDs dog fighting 3 zeros and downing them all. But I question the kill ratio. The SBD was considered obsolete before the war started but a replacement was slow coming and proved to be not much of an improvement when it did. Still, I really would like your source as it would be a very interesting fact if it is true.

[blownglasslide]

@MrRoute2

My source was Barrett Tilman, a famous writer in the "warbird" circles. I'm pretty sure the actual figure was in a book called "SBD Units of WWII" or something to that effect. It was put out by Osprey, and is still available as far as I know. Your dad must have some incredible stories! Regardless of whether the positive kill ratio is true, the SBD is still my favorite aircraft. :)

[Stover36]

there is nothing "spectacular" on shooting down a dive bomber with a Zero...

[GTM57]

video game?
