So this is my first render with DaVinci Resolve, so far I'm happy with the result (no FPS drops). I hope it stays like this :O

This is what gives me a love-hate relationship with props. I hate how long it takes to enter combat, but you have a chance of getting tangled in long and intense dogfights, which isn't possible later on

Never realized I was fighting you 4:33 until now. You are scary good with using that gunner while fighting and that easily could have gone the other way. I still have the replay of that match saved as "Realy good Pe-3 pilot". Any way, you stayed alive long enough to make sure you won the match due to that peasky space bomber and as I said at the time, realy well played.

These are those rare moments that make me love that game. I always love that feeling I get in scenarios like this. It's so hard to find fights like this especially when you get into jets.

This is my fav kind of WT content. Just loooong 1 vs 1 in prop (or jets, but u usually cant get them this long) fights without other people involved.

3:46 that reversal is…it’s fucking something I love seeing stuff like that. Very satisfying

That Peshka-3 fight was something glorious, loss or win.

After simply watching this video I received a 300% buff to my dogfighting stats

You gotta love people liking the vid before watching

I iust love the moment when i get into a long 1v1 dogfight no matter the outcome whether i win or lose. That stuff is what keep me playing war thunder.

Had a fight like these with a French yak-3 today but it got ruined by an enemy m-16 about 2 minutes in

Watching you dogfight in these big-ass twin engine fighters makes me feel like a diabetic elephant in my Spitfire

Like two dancers weaving a deadly intricate dance. That involves their lives.

3:20 damn, such a beautiful background

Ah yes, I love having high altitude dogfights (mainly 3000m-6000m). One match, everyone just climbed for about 20 minutes and was just pretty chill in the chat. Had a dogfight with a P47 and shot him down after about 5 minutes, then downed 2 bombers (they had already bombed about 3/4 of our bases so its justified). Best damn Air RB match I have ever had

Had an even rarer experience yesterday, an actual drawn out duel in ground rb. Me in a Yak 7b and him in a 109F, went on for about 5 minutes with vertical and horizontal scissors, stall climbing, and rolling, the complete works.

I like the first and the 4th fight the most. Just the dynamic between planes trying their utmost to turn their guns on each other while equally avoiding any move their opponent may make can sometimes end in such beautiful engagements like these. The nice atmospheric music just adds to the experience, thank you very much for this true piece of art Smigol!

Fight with the Kikka at the end literally got my heart rate up.

This is why I fell in love with WW1 and WW2 aircraft when I was a kid. When dogfighting was actually a thing and you didn't have the latest and greatest radar and missile technology. Experience and skill are the only things that kept you alive.

its always insane how you can beat Yak-3s and other single engine props in dogfights in heavy fighters lmfao

I love the music it fits very well with the dogfighting.

Man, please keep uploading this kind of content, there's NOTHING that i love more than these kind of fights, specially when im fighting someone that's on my same skill level or above me, doesn't matter the result, if i win or lose the fight, it's just extremely enjoyable having a good and long fight, knowing that the other guy it's a good pilot just as you and both respect each other because of that, and both of you will enjoy the fight even if the other wins, without needing to say a single word you can know that. That's the real air combat my friend, doesn't matter if it's war Thunder, if it's IL-2, Aces High, etcetera.

12:59 your engines are crying for help Also god your energy traps are fantastic

bro, I wish I could Dogfight like you

Long dogfights are the best!

The Ki-108 kai is a gorgeous work of art.

This was a beautiful and well spent 14 mins of my life. Ty smigol

The management of energy, flaps and engine are amazing...

Hit it or miss it, you're still a god at planes imo, btw I always liked your music choices for these videos

1:05 that has to be the smoothest close call I've ever seen. Simply marvelous

I had a moment like this in my yak-1 in RB, Fighting a zero. It took like 4 minutes before the enemy AA shot me, Pretty intense but Enemy AA ruin it

Mad respect for the other guy for not coming in and joining the guy, less than 2km away and still went on, lovely

A real pleasure to watch! Also like the diversity of planes!

Bro this is the most beautiful fight scene ever You might be in a flow

o7 to the kikka when your kill was about to be stolen. Incredible flying, as always, smigol :)

Fanstastic video, well done

I love it how the Kikka pilot J'd out before he was killed, that's a sign of sportsmanship

good video as always smigol!

Love these videos! pls more

Awesome work

Just beautiful

the only game this kinda stuff is possible in and that's why we keep coming back to it

it's so satisfying when you can get into an epic 1v1, even if you still lose, you have fun (until it's time to repair your plane)

Visual poetry. My guy so freaky wid the keyboard controls, it’s insane

Great video! That guy bailed out in the end, it was priceless xdd

that Skin on the Pe-3bis is awesome, love it

very satisfying to watch! Nice fights

Sometimes, I think I’m a good pilot, then smigol uploads

Smigol GOD

The kikka pilot gave up and left you his honor

The more i watch your content. The more i want to try a 1v1 against you. You'll probably beat my ass everytime, but the thrill of the challenge is something that i can't describe.

8:51 this made me coom by how freaking awesome that was.

Tbh long fights are the best kind of fights, partly because they're the most memorable kind

Goddamn Smigol, you never fail to impress me, I wish I was as good as you D:

great to see the j5n getting some love

The most satisfying moment playing WT... having a fight where both sides know what they're doing

Could you perhaps make a video with the P-51D-5 in it at some time? I'm can't for the life of me (or my SL bank) manage to fight with it decently, and rarely get more than a single kill that isn't either a twin engine or someone who wasn't paying attention.

The first fight was nuts, great game!

3:32 "hit" "hit" "hit" "critical hit" as a spitfire player I felt that

lol i was the second spitfire at 3:23 with the combat proven title. i had no idea that was you but i remember the fight. i was amazed with how you were able to get away with the maneuvers that u were doing. GGs. and its a perfect clip that shows that hispanos do fuckall damage. the guy who came in last second and clipped my wing ruined the fight :(((((

woah very nice on the spitfire in the ki 84. I would always lose to them

I had a really good fight flying a 109 E-4. Opponents were a French P-63c, Spitfire Mk 5?, and the French 3.3 thing (You know the one). I started at about 24,000 ft, they had about an extra thousand on me. The exact details are a bit fuzzy, it was a while ago, and I was in panic mode. I do remember the 3.3 thing making a mistake, because he passed right in front of me. And me, in all my wisdom, decided to only use the 7.92s instead of hammering him with the 20mms. (I was saving the cannon ammo for the Spitfire, who I was the most afraid of) He escaped with minor damage. In hindsight, if I had hit him hard, I could have maybe won that engagement. Oh well. I do remember that things ended on the deck, when the P-63 got some good hits with his .50s, yellowed out my engine. Started loosing power, taking more hits, and eventually ran into a tree. Helluva fight though, my favorite one in over 2 years of war thunder.

Popcorn worthy stuff right here!

A co tam napiszę po Polsku. Bardzo dobry film, spokojny a tak pełny emocji. Wrażenia podobne jak z jakiegoś dramatu wojennego w dobrym znaczeniu. Genialnie dobrana muzyka. A twoje umiejętności, niesamowite.

Damn nice fights. Nice video! I wanna too . Lets g- *hamtaro takes a break in server HQ*

Could you make some kind of tutorial for playing or your settings? I think it would be cool

Love it. this what WT is about.

You perfect pilot)

It would be so epic to see a 1 vs 1 fight with DEFYN. I'd be interested in the outcome.

8:59 this guy tried to do an ace combat maneuver, but smigol shot him down XDDD

That spitfire still had the orange wing damn...

262 clip wa amazing please do more :D

I have fought j2ms in my G55.s in prolonged dogfights with competent pilots and its one of the most shockingly equal yet the most fun fights you could have in war thunder

That kikka pilot really knew how to fight

Did this once with a 109 F-4 vs my P-51C stock. We were dogfighting at 15-10k feet just going up and down sometimes going verticals with our wings touching (with the update where they dont explode when you touch)

NICE

Okay I am a noob when it comes to dogfighting and the answer may be very simple but I use the same config to fly plane as you but I notice that when I do I would say relatively the same maneuvers as you my pilot blacks out alot and I usually die as a result, so my question, is your pilot maxed out to withstand the g's or do you freelook sometimes to reduce the point of blacking out?

I once had a dogfight in the first Bf 109 (With only the 2 mg's) with an F3F that lasted nearly 5 minutes. We were the last ones in the match, but eventually I crashed.

I love dog fights, but some prick always comes along and ruins it just when I am about to win

50 k soon....we need q and a on 50k

Nice

the last ost strangely good at montage music

This is the equivalent of watching aerial ballet, however, it is a dance of death... Oh btw nice music choice and of course you have to fade to black and gently end it only for a fucking reggae dubstep remix of LOTR has to hit me like a truck. I had almost forgot.

Love to see the j5n1

This video healed my covid!

I wish warthunder would have more of these dogfights, have expirienced my share of these in air rb, however I still think they don't occur often enough.

i would be multiple times dead if it were me

Hello, can you do some dogfighting with german twin-engine fighters? Bf-110, ME-410, Do-217 and so this... I don't know what to do... Btw love your video my polish neighbor. Greetings from Czech ❤️

oh yeah, my greatest fight was in my Ta 152H against a P51H at around 7k alt. Idk why he got mad even tho it was an amazing dogfight :)

Those 2 last videos where just AMAZING ! Incredible gameplay and good music that fits perfectly. I'm thinking of buying either the J2M4 or the J2M5, which one is the best and/or the more enjoyable to play according to you ?

Had an amazing fight like this last night, 2 p400’s and Beufighter, with an enemy yak Who almost took 2 of us out, he started with an alt advantage.

Dmigol: walczy Psycha przeciwników: Naua

How do you even keep your plane on the same course when you are in the gunner view?

Wonderful. I want to see 1v1 you and DEFYN

How are you so good? The number of times I'd have goofed in the first fight alone makes me depressed about the skill gap between me and even half-competent players

Hey smigod, can you use the tu2 as a very heavy fighter

i love this artistic movement. could you please play i-185? i'm now grinding with this brick

So good but first bomber is amazing

For the last clip, I'm not sure if the Kikka J out. If he did, that's the most respectful thing to do. It sucks when a kill gets stolen after a long fight... Edit: he J out.

This is why I haven’t quit this game. Every time I enter a battle hoping I can get a long dogfight and score a kill.
