Barton Posted July 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Jeebus. LOL totally got that one wrong. Annotated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRFC Hawkeye Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Best video ever ! I can see you need me around though, if for nothing else than aircraft recognition.... N28's are SPADs, Hanriots are Nieuports, Albs are Nieuports, SPADs are N28's....LOL Real bummer about Britchot He had an excellent set of sorties going, and it just goes to show you how these streaks can end through no fault of your own (that guy trying to turn fight with a SPAD, going for a shot at all costs and obviously not caring much at all about his own virtual life); so I wish you continued luck Barton, you sure have some great positive Karma going there!

Centerline Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Great film! Enjoyed FiF but I have a lot to learn. Looking forward to next week. Centerline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonrd Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Nice Barton. One (of the many) things that impressed was how well you were able to reacquire the bandit after looking away. I often lose them after checking six, etc. Especially if they're distant and low. J5_Hotlead 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barton Posted July 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Tracking a bandit is a hard thing to do a lot of the time. You have to build a 3d model of what's going on in your head and a lot of times you have to predict where they're going to go. I still lose a lot of planes especially when they're low or distant, and especially both. Thanks for the kind words, guys. Couldn't have done it without Britchot and Luft calling out bandits. And I do need to work on AC recognition. Watching my video after the fact when I was putting it together I facepalmed a couple times lol. That first fight had me stressed out big time.

Klaiber Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Very nice video Barton! I can tell that you've been afflicted with throat trouble... as they sometimes say. For future videos, you may want to remove your opponents names. Or get their permission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barton Posted July 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 I edited out some of the bits of chat that may have been less than professional about some pilots. I've always left pilot names in in all of my videos. It's not about shaming one pilot or another or anything, and I'll be damned sure to display the name of whoever ends the streak I'm on.

Klaiber Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 It would be cool if you could interview your opponent sometime. Get his perspective on the events your watching. Kind of like two boxers talking about the fight on a replay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barton Posted July 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 That would be pretty cool. Have to see what I can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IRFC Hawkeye Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 It would be cool if you could interview your opponent sometime. Get his perspective on the events your watching. Kind of like two boxers talking about the fight on a replay. Sure I can tell you what it's like from experience. Mostly the first thing I see is a lot of blood or oil, or both; then not a lot happens after that except me dying. Klaiber 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klaiber Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Very nice! It's great to be able to watch this. Especially since I can't fly on Saturdays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRFC Hawkeye Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Very interesting, enjoyable 2nd video. I think you hit it on the nose when you said you needed to stabilize your plane for more accurate shooting. Great SA during the whole thing. The kill total doesn't reflect the action level of those sorties! Thumbs up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klaiber Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Very nice video Barton! Really enjoyed it. Especially the ending. That sucked that you and Brit got separated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
