Flying Tigers in Fighter Ace

[freakyflow]

Cunuk you going to take a look at world of planes when it comes out? Timber

[pilotdave1000]

Why not aces high 2

[LTDcunuk]

@pilotdave1000 Why not AHII? partly because I still suck at AHII. Partly because our squad is down to about 5 or 6 members in AHII and that makes it quite difficult to make good vids

[TheSonOfDumb]

OH DEAR LORD GOD THE NOSTALGIA

[wszgr]

The Flying Tigers (AVG 飛虎隊) used Kuomintang (KMT 中國國民黨) 'Blue Sky with a White Sun' (青天白日) emblem. Most of the real Flying Tigers heros did not work for the USAF. Most of them did not even want to join the U.S. 14th Air Force in 1942. Please respect the Chinese history.

[LTDcunuk]

@wszgr you obviously have not read any other comments on this video. I only used the planes in the game with the markings they came with as I could not change them. The plane also is a P40C not a P40B and there were no 4 engine JP bombers in the war. bla bla bla. I know all of this. I am not trying to disrespect any one by making this but I am trying to keep the stories alive

[wszgr]

@LTDcunuk Yes, I’d read yours and the others comments. However, I believe your video is the main source of presented information but not those pages of comments. Am I correct? You won’t take forged medicine, will you? Why would people need to accept altered history and misleading graphics presentation? Besides, I saw others left similar comments about this misleading information too.

[LTDcunuk]

@wszgr you are not correct. If you really want to be correct, then the only real mistake in this video is the 4 engine bombers. The US flew as the flying tigers after they entered the war and flew the P40 with the American insignia. You only seem pissed off that the markings are not chinese. This is not altered history nor misleading. Maybe you need to respect the history of those who saved the chineese from annihilation

SNIFF SNIFF I smell a troll

[wszgr]

@LTDcunuk I suggest you send a message to the mainland Chinese government and the Taiwanese government official and inform them they have been incorrect for more than 60 years. Don't forget to send the same message to the real Flying Tigers, both Chinese and Americans, members and their families or descendants. Yes, we respect those real heros who were really helping us during the war. I don't think we respect those arrogant ones who believe they are more superior but not long lasting, bye.

[yojelsonrc]

there is another game like this?

[LTDcunuk]

@yojelsonrc yes, Aces High II by hightech creations

[yojelsonrc]

@LTDcunuk thx :D , i downloaded that game but i can't take off of the angar

[MrVolcanoes22]

The graphics are better in the 10th anniversary edition but it no longer works online.

[topcatalex]

what is this song called?

[crisandm1016]

What was the Japanese bomber called?

[LTDcunuk]

@crisandm1016 it was a G5N1 Liz.  It never actually entered service in the war

[norb1937]

@crisandm1016 I think its a Mitsibushi. 

[bfhoward1]

The markings on the P-40's should be the Chinese white sun with 12 points. That would be historically correct. The Flying Tigers were the AVG, a volunteer group. However, after war was declared a day after Dec. 7, 1941, they may have used US markings, I don't know.

[VAPOURIZE100]

pretty good but all i need in my IL 10 n destroy any jap plane bomber or fighter within 5 seconds or so tht plane is the shit i tell u :P

[modelingisgreat]

AWSOME VID, FLYING TIGERS ARE COOL!

[ALL41Snake]

I miss my HardRide

Snake

[timberwolf7102james]

@ALL41Snake Best memories of F/A was on comms and hearing Hardride and Stanford tuck chewwing at each other about a stolen kill Timber

[ALL41Snake]

I miss my HardRide

Snake

[Emeianoite]

OLD school fighter ace @ ZONE was the best!

[jarlRiess]

What is the name of music?

[LTDcunuk]

@jarlRiess it is from the Batman Begins sound track. I'm not sure of the exact song title

[Nick19962010]

well im sryy about fighter ace

[Warmoviefanatic]

You should do it w/ out the music.

[AVAglimmer]

nice vid, as you can see from my youtube name, i used to play many years ago. spent many hours with sweaty palms ignoring my wife. =S= I'm sad to read that FA is shutting down.

[cut76]

Aces High 2 Check it out 2 week free trial GO GO GO

[TheSonOfDumb]

It's sad Fighter Ace is shutting down :(.

[LTDcunuk]

@TheSonOfDumb Yes, it is sad. Not enough people want to learn how to play a game. They just want instant action that requires only fast reflexes

[TheSonOfDumb]

@LTDcunuk

Fighter Ace is an awesome game. Why would n00bs wanna play COD: MW2 anyway? The multiplayer sucks! Everything is unbalanced!

[Followingalegend]

@TheSonOfDumb as a person who plays this game and mw2 YOUR RIGHT

i mean the original cod was good the second was good then it just went down the ......

anyhow i dont wanna start a argument soo

this game is great even though its down you can still get the offline mode from the site which atleast i can still play it but such a shame to see it go

[Nick19962010]

@LTDcunuk is Fighter Ace gone for good because i like ww2 flying games

[LTDcunuk]

@Nick19962010 sadly, FA is dead and buried

[SLFLYINGTIGER]

@Nick19962010 If you like ww2 dogfighting action check out Second Life and look up the Group Flying Tigers.. you can check out some of the action if you do a search in youtube for "Legends of WW2"

[MrHotrod68]

@Nick19962010

cheer up these are a new one called the 10th aneverciery edition

(sorry for the horrible english)

[bawllastyles]

@LTDcunuk its not like you guys cant link up via hamachi or some1 start a server

[gnomeknowsbest]

@TheSonOfDumb That sucks, I use to play years ago and was thinking about playing again, im sad to hear its shutting down. It was a really fun game to play. You actually had to understand how an airplane flys and acts when shot and so on.

[TheSonOfDumb]

@gnomeknowsbest

They'll close the hangar doors on August.

[123mrresidentevil]

@TheSonOfDumb what do you mean

[TheSonOfDumb]

@123mrresidentevil

Fighter Ace is dead.

I miss everyone.

[AcpDude1]

whats the game called?

[make1up726]

This game looks cool but......laggy as hell 0_o

[bennemans92]

nice :)

[erwintommy]

I didn't know the japs had 4 engine bombers?

[LTDcunuk]

They didn't have any that were on active duty. there were 4 G5N1's produced but never saw service.

Artistic license...even though I'm not artistic...

Thanks for the coment..Hope ya liked it even with the errors

[Muddogg68]

Me either

[caliz604]

OH YEAH"""

[golfprobro4eagles]

Its really to bad this game could be so much better its pretty much a xbox with 15 year old graffics sad and they charge money lol

[LTDcunuk]

golfpro, it's true that the grapics are out dated, but the game is still a good one.

thx for the comment

[lemonite1]

Hmmm, AVG with U.S markings? I thought the AVG flying in the CBI used Chinese markings. Also, I don't think the Flying Tigers ran into very many A6ms,' as that was a IJN carrier Reisen type 00'. The Flying Tigers I think fought against A5m, and Ki 43 Hayabusas out of Hankow.

[LTDcunuk]

Markings in earlier post. FA doesn't have the Chineese markings, but the flying tigers did fly US markings after Jan 1 1942. Also, this is a P40-c not the b variant...nit picking

What planes did they fight against? I really don't know, but there are no A5m's in the game so I used a6m2's

Thanks for the comment

[lemonite1]

Actually you are right, those are correct markings. I play Il2 1946 and this looks comparable to that. Good video.

[Mattebubben]

nice film im playing this game aswell its nice im taking a breake right now u may know my Clan SA = Satans Angels

[make1up726]

They fought against the Ki-43, basically the Japanese Army's version of the Zero, fast for its time, light, maneuverable, but only had 2 mgs and no cannon so the armor of the P40 usually defeated the MG. BTW, looking for a flight sim and I was wondering how this is, is it just a giant arena or is it like allies vs axis with objectives?

[LTDcunuk]

the game has a few different arenas to play in. The most populated is a map with 5 different countries (GB US SU JP GE) that have their own fields and factories. All are enemies to each other

Object of the game is to have the most scenes when 1 country is eliminated

[erwintommy]

Very nicely done- many videos i have seen have the aircraft flying ridiculously maneuverable, something the WW2 aircraft couldn't do...

[LTDcunuk]

thank you. Hope you liked the vid

thanks

[Lolleds89]

I like more IL 2 its realistic and planes dont lokk so shitty like this japanese planes :P

[Dimwooo]

i didnt like how the bombs made the ground look like it was shittin

[cmedinagd1]

i felt like was on it to its so cool

[Doamino41]

Awsome video! Felt like I was there.Thanx for posting :)

[raketaman]

i just don't get it why did they put guns above the propeler,why didn't they putit into a nose

[freakyflow]

lots of german planes did

[LTDcunuk]

yup, The Bf 109 series had 30mm cannons in the nose. I think the P39 Air Cobra did the same

[apollo1176]

the designers put guns there because it was believed to more accurate than win mountings

[Whitehorze]

In the early versions of the P-40, the 2 cannon above the engine were syncronised to fire through the propeller. It was believed to be a more accurate arrangement for the pilot.

In later versions, that had better sighting equipment, they replaced the cannons with standard 50cals in the wings. In order to run the cannon through the prop, you would have to run the barrel through the crankshaft of the engine.

[LTDcunuk]

Whitehorze, it is not necessary to run the cannon barrel through the crank if the prop is not connected directly to the crank. ie. gear or chain driven?

I don't know how the Bf109 series did it, but I know that they fired 30mm cannons through their spinner

The P-40-B, which was flown by the AVG had 2- .50 cals in the cowl and 4- .30 cals in the wings

As far as I know, no P-40 variant ever had cannons

the P40E had all .50 cals, 2 in the cowl, 4 in the wings

thanks for the comment

[Whitehorze]

Your correct about the armament of the Warhawk. I thought they had done away with the .30 cals in the B model.

If my fuzzy memmory is functioning properly, the ME109 had the inverted V engine with mechanical fuel injection. This version had the cannon barrel running through the crankshaft of the engine and exiting the spinner...

[jpogrossi778]

what music? its awsume sound like batman on abit lol

[LTDcunuk]

It is from the Batman Begins sound track

[IAUnitedFilms]

awesome!

[nitten13]

Just a little note here on the P-40 markings-(Technically they were neither U.S. B or C models,but "Curtiss Hawk 81 Export Model" for Britain) I have seen "Tomahawks" with the US star. This was late in the AVG's career and several continued serving in the "China Air Task Force" which the AVG became. So the markings ARE accurate. I agree with the creator-chill on the historical accuracy and enjoy the flight simulation. I love this video and it gives an excellent illustration of AVG tactics.

[LTDcunuk]

thanks nitten13.  I am glad you enjoy watching this vid.

My friends and I have a great time making them.

[FighterGuDude3214]

@nitten13 Yeah, but you forgot to mention- The insignia on the P-40s is wrong. This shows them with USAF markings, but the AVG flew for China, and so had the insignia of the Chinese Nationalist Airforce.

[sufkiller]

Do you guys do you own stunts? Haha. Good vid!

[WarHawk44]

one flaw in this movie. The identification marks on the P-40 werent the American star. It was the Chinese sun.

[LTDcunuk]

Yes, as mentioned earlier. Also, they are P-40c's not P-40-b's

We do what we can through the limitations of the game, including plane sets

Thanks for the comment

[jeremy132]

what sound pack did you use cunuk?

[LTDcunuk]

I use a mix of sounds. Some are default and some are downloaded. Go to FA forums and the link is there

[lorenzol1996]

I wish I could play... subscription expired..

[ABOLERZ243]

awsome video

[71bee383]

Man, I LOVE the Flying Tigers! that shark facia was the coolest artwork ever produced on a fighter aircraft.

[LTDcunuk]

I agree, I just wish the game had the chineese markings on the P40-c

[TexasOutLaw07]

dam good video! you should get with FA and post it else where!  Texasoutlaw_xXx

[stagmar1]

os there a world war game that is free!! plz reply i need help

[LTDcunuk]

only ones I know of are the BF series (BF42, BF Vietnam, BF2...) and IL-2. I'm not sure how to play IL-2 online though

[stagmar1]

oh ur playing a demo u have to pay to play online do u know any other flight games

[LTDcunuk]

no, this is not a demo. I pay to fly. these vids were made by my squad mates and I. We fly regularly

[Polskmofo]

cool vid, are there offline missions you can play if you dont want to pay the subscription?

[timberwolf7102james]

You can play but not being online you only play the trainning missions with computer planes..not much fun after loading the game up its free for 2 weeks online

[dokaw]

Hey, who would've known Batman Begins would go so well with the Flying Tigers.

[LTDcunuk]

Thanks dokaw, glad you liked it. That whole Batman Begins sound track rocks. Hans Zimmerman in a genius

[jth1999]

Very nicely done video to a great game! This video actually does this game some good justice. Now that I am a real pilot, I havn't spent much time playing though so it was fun for me to watch this video. Thanks again for posting!

[LTDBern1]

what people are NOT getting is that we use what is available "in game".\Fighter Ace had to give the japanese planeset a heavy bomber,so this was the best they had.chill on the "historically" correct stuff and enjoy the videos

[yoel1914]

imprecionante

[LTDcunuk]

pardon me?

[mrmetal777]

what an excellent video. this is a real work considering all that actually play this game, hats off to ya. this game is a real treat and really enjoy playing it.

R.I.P. Dick Rossi, you will be remembered.

[LTDcunuk]

Thank you mrmetal. I enjoy making the vids and I am always pleased that others enjoy watching them

[Renaissancedehuaxia]

Dick Rossi

RIP.

[timberwolf7102james]

Dick Rossi, who downed six Japanese planes while serving with the Flying Tigers, died at his home in Fallbrook, CA April 17 2008 of complications from pneumonia. Rossi was 92

=S=

[myths4]

nice vid and music. i use to have this game but my computer cant run it now.

[LTDcunuk]

...it's just a vid made from a game guys. Lets not get too heated about it.

I make these vids for the impression I want to make, so I use some artistic license. lol as though I am an artist. None of my vids are exactly historically accurate. Just look at the insignia on the wings. US not Chinese.

Watch and enjoy and I will be happy to have entertained you

[GreatTenacity]

GJ Cunuk and if those werent rigged bombers then GKs too :)

I personally can't fly those P40s at all(or any other plane that well for that matter)

For all the people ranting how the time frame is inaccurate, this is a game allows you to fly your favorite plane when ever you want. The only planes that have a restriction are the 4 jets(Me-262, MiG, Sabre, and Gloster) and its because if you put the piston planes against these, they would get annihalated. It's just for fun.

[GreatTenacity]

Also I listened closely to bgm and i think thats the same tune in Scarface after Tony dies just more instruments and stuff and i think its a bit faster. It only really sounds like it starting at 03:50

[theblink3]

hey do you play Fly Aces High? There is a guy named LTARcunuk or something like that in there. Plus, I'm about to give it a try. but are graphics and everything alot better in online play?

[kapitankartoon]

the japanese did not have 4 engine land bombers at any time in WWII

[timberwolf7102james]

G5N Shinzan nic named the (Liz) was a 4 engine japanese bomber (1939)

The G8N Renzan nic named (Rita) was another

Before you make a post on my friends site make sure you can back it up (put up or shut up!)

[kapitankartoon]

the G5N shinzan did not see service.

G8N Renzan The initial prototype was completed in October 1944, a mere one year after the Navy ordered development to start, and delivered in January 1945. However, the worsening war situation and a shortage of aluminum led to the project's cancellation in June. Four examples were built between October 1944 and June 1945.

none ever flew over China in conflict with the AMERICAN VOLENTEER GROUP.

BOOSH!

[timberwolf7102james]

SEE awsome what google does for someone your last comment was Japanese did have "any" 4 engine bombers at any time in ww2 october 1944 was in ww2 You sure about the rest are do you want to see whats behind door #3?

[timberwolf7102james]

The first 4 engine bombers where flown Oct 23 1944 and were destoryed by U.S. navy p-40's and guess who was in those fighters?

[kapitankartoon]

none were production aircraft.  the most they had was 4. your games shows them in combat with a P-40B that was not used in 1944.

[timberwolf7102james]

Ohhh i see from "never" had to now the most is 4... You were never in WW2 Don't play the game and have no video postings

Who are you again? move on muppet boy

[multipl3]

The good thing about this game is that you can play it with just keyboard and mouse, unlike Il2 sturmovik

[BabyBorn]

Bad explosions.

Just chek Il2 sturmovik forgotten battles/1946

[Mikakk2]

Do you guys really fly those P-40's in the game? How do you not get your butt's whipped?

[launger]

yess , nice , fighter ace 3.9 is imo the best WW2 flight simulator in the world, yet , tho too bad the online play is not free , maybe they will unleash 4.0 soon :)=

[J3ster]

Have u ever played IL2-Sturmovick?

[Entertainmentcenter]

Is Tex Hill realy dead?

[Entertainmentcenter]

I like P-40s.

[buzzkomo]

Very nice video work!

Buzzard Komo

[ei2232]

I wish my computer would run FA. I miss the fun.  Great vid.

[zdog2702]

nice!!!!

what is the music u used??

[LTDcunuk]

music is from Batman Begins

[zdog2702]

sweet!!!!

thanks!!!

[TimshelDK]

Hi LTDcunuk, HOW do you upload a Fighterace video to youtube?

I also have a video I would like to upload.

It from a classic event lately.

Gret work in here.. Ver nice films u have!!

[LTDcunuk]

I use a program called Fraps to capture FA film to an .avi format. You can then use any vid edit program to edit them

[limegr33nlime]

ah, great video, it's a shame they don't let you put the chinese markings

[ChineseKungFu01]

awesome video

[LTDBern1]

awesome ol Buddy

[Jpevey]

Excellent video Cunuk, LTD has it on the ball. We manage with some imperfections but the game is extremely playable and has a great community. Always looking for more targets, errr, players.

[Jessi12ocHigh]

ooooooooo, a tomahawk! bout time people used them things XD!

[Philflash]

watch?v=9_WTK1hdqho

Flying Tigers

[LTDcunuk]

true enough but I could only use what the game has. Also, there are the US insignia on the wings and fuselage, instead of the Chinese. Also, the planes in the vid are P40-C's, not P40-B's, which were what was flown by the AVG. The shark mouth was actually copied form the Australian Airforce, which flew the same planes at the time. Thanks for the comments though

[bakontrack]

Great graphics, but not all historically true. The P-40 couldn't raise both wheels at the same time due to weak hydralics and the insignia are wrong for the Flying Tigers. The shark's mouth by itself does not automatically denote Flying Tiger.

[Sumer61]

ah frank fighters! good.....good >___<

[LTDcunuk]

It is from Fighter Ace but filmed in a private arena. google fighter ace and you should get there

[bowirich]

Awesome film - is that from the online game Fighter Ace (I mean is it actual game footage)? That looks really fun! Where can I sign up!??!

[griplord007]

Awsome.. great job Canuk and Cast

[trupr]

Excellent job again Cunuk! Always a pleasure working with a great director like you. :)

[StelyDn]

Crunk, WTG!! Great Footage!!
