*They called him “The Katana of Midway”* I had only heard the stories from my squad mates as we were nearing Iwo Jima on the ships. It had been said that he was one of the lead Japanese fighters during the attack on Pearl Harbour. Ever since then, he had been racking up kills in every battle and engagement he’s been in. A Japanese ace. Especially in the battle where he got his name, the battle of midway. Air squadrons both fighters, dive bombers and torpedo bombers, even some ships reported of an A6M Zero with deadly aim and impossible to follow aerobatics. And they said it had an unusual paint job and a Japanese Kanji symbol on the side by the nose that later on after the war found out meant “Honour” As I was on a landing craft heading towards the beach of Iwo Jima, I heard the sound of engines and gunfire above. A smoking F4U Corsair with a Zero on its tail, a Zero with a paint job and a symbol by the nose. I watched as the F4U caught fire and crashed into the beach after taking more rounds of the Zero’s booming 20 mils, which later on I found out was loaded with explosive rounds. The Zero climbed into the clouds as I saw two more F4Us chase after him. After a mere few seconds I saw the Zero diving back down out of the clouds just a moment before seeing the two F4Us on fire and crashing down to the earth. He had taken care of them with ease. Then we started to get shelled by Jap coastal defences and lost sight of the Zero, not until I saw it again when we landed on the beach. It made runs over and over, taking out many of our men after dropping fire bombs just a few meters from our position, taking out a whole squad. Our ship’s anti air guns never stopped firing at him but never hitting. The last time I saw of that Zero was him retreating deeper over the island to get away from AA fire with two more F4U’s on his tail. I also later on learned he took those ones down too. After taking the island and fighting a few more battles and ending the war, I also later found out he was finally shot down during the battle of Okinawa just a couple months after the battle of Iwo Jima. He fought to his last battle to defend Japan. While they checked his downed plane, they found a his family’s Katana sword in the cockpit which many other Japanese pilots often did and they took it. It was retuned to his family as with many other confiscated katanas to Japan, decades after the war ended. Till this day I’ve never seen a plane flown so skillfully and with purpose. It wasn’t till today that I found out the pilot was just doing 20 minute video commentaries during every battle. *Guess you gotta do anything for content nowadays.*

This is evidence that the flieger faust doesn’t need to be nerfed

12:58 Zero: i fear no man but that thing (sees Flieger Faust) it scares me

That one poor dude that kept getting on the AA to try and kill the planes. Just like getting spawn killed every time haha. Killing him from almost out of range.

This is the type of thing that makes me want to take a bath in hydrochloric acid

Thank you for this vid, it really made my day especially the intro in which I really felt like I am having a pleasant conversation with you. Keep up the good work I am looking forward to see more videos (sry for bad English)

When I play defender I prefer the 1000 pound bomb and anti tank mines. As attacker I use burning bombs and flares. It‘s better to destroy the enemy tanks as I think when you defend, the enemies sometimes have 5 or 6 of them

Love that the player crying in the chat got 9-12 hahah..

Get that 200-0 man.

He really compared you to niccaman 😂😂 oh god little does he know niccaman is nowhere near the top 1%

"This planes on our side of the map, so were going to end his life" lmao

In depth flying instuction would be nice! Awesome run btw

So satisfy to watch, great video. New subscriber 👋🏼

Just trying to imagine how angry the enemy team must've been. 192-1 as a pilot is possible, but requires some serious skill. Wondering how you avoided all those fliegerfaust attacks tho...

Love the video keep up the great work man 👍

This is God level gaming.

That is dirty, so sweaty 😂

That desperation move deserves Ace Status 😂☁️☁️

*insert DJ Khaled “another one” here*

Man I’ve been watching your vids and practicing to become an ace. I went 22-8 and I can see why you love farming. Thnx for the content

That opselvis guy must be fuming. 50% of the kills where on him haha

Dude you are an inspiration to pilots , keep it up, you earned a sub

You and this plane are the best!)

Awesome flying dude! Question: Would you recommend having the plane camera like you and just get used to it? I use the camere were the plane and camera rolls with you basically which makes it harder to spot planes chasing you i feel.

This should be instructional video about spacing in pacific update

dude you are so crazy with the planes

amazing video and plays dude⚡

Some one pass this man over a veterans discount. Because THIS is true talent and skill

And here I thought my 62/14 game was amazing...

honestly have never seen pubbies group this hard. awesome game silk

I missed your vids man. An amazing pilot your are! Keep up the vids, and I would love to see your tutorial vids again in BF V.

Do you have any good piloting tips for me, I’m not very good at evading flak or other planes is there a manouver I can do to stop them?

I’ve been loving the new planes and I had a match on Iwo Jima where I went 126-2

Just insane! Well played Sir :)

So next time when i jump into a server i must first check if silk is on the enemy team..

Flying for me on Australian servers generally goes something like this: Fly an aircraft for 10 seconds. Get instantly shot down by another aircraft with upgrades and is a more experienced pilot or get taken down by an AA Tank.

So.... What was the reason to nerf the fliegerfaust? I cant remember...

You’re actually nuts man, haven’t had any good pilots to watch since you left.

Silk is literally the Thanos of Battlefield.

"Solder, there's no honor in killing a man with a glitch gun."

OMG this Astrothunder beat in the background

Insane man!!!

Great video, awesome flying! Could you make a vid for pilots, how to fly planes now in not-pacific maps? I find it so hard without those HIgh Explosive Zero rounds and fliegers everywhere

Aannnd by 11 minutes you've just passed my biggest killsteak and there's half an hour to go😭😲 all hail silkzy

hey pilots ! 1 question if i may ... i'm pretty decent tank driver but i've never ever touched any kind of aircraft in any of bf games and i'm kinda looking forward to (there is something magical about ww2 planes:) )... is it possible to be a decent pilot using mouse and keyboard ? ... also what is the best way to practice ? thx

You absolute MADLAD ;) Superb flying 👍

Hi... I wanted to ask how do you set up the controls for the Aircraft in Battlefield 1 and 5 just cause I tried them and no matter what I did with keyboard and mouse it just sucked sooo much and I am never to replicate anything on videos in my games while in like War thunder I am a killing machine xD thanks

Hi Silk, this video is awesome. May I ask what’s the first tip you mentioned about getting rid of the new camera that it’s a shoot me sign?

Hi Silk. Can you walk me thru your key settings on how you use the free look while your're in first person inside the cockpit? I just can't get it to happen/work and it is frustrating me big time. Cheers and thanks for another Pacific vid.

Please make a guide about flying with the new planes I really wanna get better

I just smashed 2 controllers up watching this!

Always keep the game chat on the rage is fun to see!

Great game 🍺

Hey silk,cant really understand while in process of killing infantry , do you slow down or go with normal speed?

good shit bro

Pilots: nerf the fliegerfaust Also pilots:

Gifted bro gifted indeed!

Nice work bud do you brake when your diving or just let it drop naturally?

Infantry : We got fliegerfaust for pilot now it's time to payback Silk : hold my beer Btw I have been watching your videos since bfv cheaper 2 😁❤️

How much do you use space bar and during what maneuvers and dogfighting ?

Lol I thought I clicked on a Niccaman video. Sitting here thinking dude what happened you sound completely different. Then I realized 🤦🏼‍♂️. I definitely subscribed, awesome gameplay

beast!!!! add more vids like this!!

Welcome back top pilot !!!!

do you guys use arrow keys? and what key for zoom in 1. person? and should i tap or hold s while strafing?

Also if you could make an updated graphics settings video for visibility, it’d be so nice

My main question is: how do you spot people so easyly? When I'm flying I can't see shit?!

so good

Lit stuff

Aw man, this shit is gonna get nerfed now. I'm just trying to scrape a few kills in a match and you go 192-1! Makes it so hard to pilot these days lol

Im on ps4 and I cant seem to direct my aim I always start shooting get hit markers and over/under compensate the enemy plane rarely do I shoot down planes and infantry with ease like you is my sensitivity to high?

Is there some specific graphic settings you're using? Because when i fly i can't see shit on the ground, even having mesh quality at ultra.

Why this camera instead of fixed by plane's orientation?

once I managed to do 44 or something, i was super happy

How do you get that zero camo

I hope you're KZfaq gets big you seem good and I think u can do it

lol poor guy, I kept seeing this guy ingaming76 the kill logs from you

How do ppl get kills with the 20mm? I am convinced it has zero splash damage.

I love how clever you are acting, showing such a high level of discipline which keeps you alive!

How do u connect a controller

How does your camera look like that when flying

YOUR BACK FINALLY. WHEN I WATCHED THIS VIDEO I THOUGHT IT WAS ANOTHER BFV KZfaqR THAT REMINED ME OF YOU THEN I GOT SAD BUT ITS YOU YOURE BACK YES

I've played against you heaps, you're actually a godly pilot

This is the reason planes and bombers need a big nerf not the fliege. Dice nerf the planes!

You got almost the perfect match.... they stop in the right sector... you will archive 200 kills dont worry bro

Wow dude!! It’s my goal to get this good!🤘🏻

i'm so jealous that in my region people keep entering aa stationary the whole game and disturb pilots i killed them like 10 times but they still don't really have a lesson lol

How is this even possible? Nobody sat down at a point at game testing with a good pilot and thought: Hm, maybe we should not allow that to happen? Sometimes, I feel, that using the grind and very young interns is not a good strategy for triple A games, but, hey, what do I know? I am just a programmer...

You should fly at a higher altitude when strafing to stay out of range of the flieger

What are your keybinds. For planes

So how do you get your hacks to not show on gameplay recording?

Nice flying

Dang man!

Nice Niccaman thumbnail there

This man deserves a Modern day Kelly McGillis GF. Very methodical piloting mate.

You need to join the RAF dude, if they had you in the battle of britain it would of been over in an hour 🤣

Awesome

Wow!! Full playthrough!!! Awesome! Quite enjoyable!!! Honestly, I hate every time salty players always blame good to great players for play too good. :)

Astrothunder slowed down at the beginning

My best game with the same method was 187 kills 1 death, really happy with it

Why don't my cannons work from that far away on PS4? I have to be way closer or they won't even inflict damage, let alone kill 4 people at once.
