LesOfPrimus' Homemade Video Music Clips....

The Mk103 and Mk108 30m/m cannon were devestating to thier targets.

Check out the post-war evaluation footage done by the British, using a Mk108 against a Spitfire at a range of 100 yards. The footage shows a single hit to the Spit's wingroot.

The Spit would not have survived the hit if it were airborn:

whew yes it only took a matter of seconds in air combat that is fact.

the Ta 152H had a 3cm Mk 108 through the prop hub and outboard 2cm in each wing.

many of the Fw 190A-8's were in fact A-8/R2's in III./JG 301 having inboard 2cm and outboard 3cm plus the over cowling 2 MG 131's.

II./JG 301 had a mix of Dora 9's and A-9's and those A-9's most probably had the cowling MG 131's fitted with two inboard 2cm weapons to take on P-51 escorts

great Vid Dan ! thanks for your hard work makes me think about some different scenarios played out even in real life for 2 March 45

Looks like a bita Domination going on their!

Nice Clip! that black and white stuff you do is bloody awesome

[Gnomey]

Excellent Dan, probably your best one yet.

 

[lesofprimus]

Thanks Roamer and Gnomey......

Sorry the files are so big fellas, but I want them to be as clear as I can, and the size reflects the clarity of the clip....

As far as the domination thing goes, I set the mission up in 2 parts... The 109's and their unfortunate bouncing at the hands of the 78th, and the formation of 152's and 190's... The odds were in favor of the USAAF, who had 40 P-51's to stop my 12 Ta 152's and 8 Doras....

In earlier attempts at this mission, I got my ass handed to me by 4 to 1 odds.... Only but carefully watching my altitude and staying away from large groups of Mustangs was I able to not only survive in one piece but land back at my airstrip...

Thanks man...

For some reason, I didnt post up a downloadable version of the VMF-214 Blacksheep Mission, so here it is...

This is my Tribute to my Grandfather...

Friday Morning 0930
October 15th, 1943
Munda Airfield
Central Solomon Islands

Major Greg Boyingtons division of 4 aircraft is scheduled for a sweep after a B-24 raid on Kangu Hill supply depot near Kahili Airbase...

It didnt go quite as planned...

They ended up over Kahili Airfield before the bombers got there and watched the Zeros taking off....

Circling while the bombers dropped their loads, Boyington, Tucker on his wing, and My Grandfather, 1st Lt. Bill Case, Emrich on his wing, noticed a group of 12 Zekes climbing to engage the B-24's.... Enjoying a tremendous advantage, the 4 Blacksheep dropped down on the Zeros and tore them up...

Case and Emrich each got 2 a piece, with Tucker getting 1, and Boyington getting another as well as 3 probables... It was my Grandfather Bill Cases' first and only muti-kill day and his 6 and 7th victories out of 8 kills in 3 combat tours in the Pacific...

0910
April 17th, 1945
München-Riem Airfield
Germany, April 1945

Lt. Heinz "Wimmersal" Sachsenberg, Staffelkapitän of the Platzschutzstaffel of JV 44, climbs into his Red and White Striped Fw 190D-9, coded "Red 1", for another airfield protection mission... The Me 262's are ready to intercept a box of B-17's heading NE of the airfield, and its the job of the Sachsenberg Schwarm to guard them from prowling Allied Fighters...

Once they got to orbiting the airfield at 600 meters, the radio comes alive with reports that the British 2nd TAF has planes in the vicinity.... No sooner do the 262's start down the runway, when out of the clouds pour Spitfires and Tempests....

Game on......

This video represents a scenario that could have happened... I claim 3 Spitfires and 1 Tempest certainly destroyed...

[evangilder]

That was pretty cool, Dan. It didn't seem like the Spits did much evasive maneuvering though.

 

[lesofprimus]

Thanks Eric....

Yea, it seemed they were more concerned with the 20mm groundfire than the 4 Doras flyin around in their midst... They were set to Veteran and Ace so its not like they were rookies...

 

[evangilder]

Maybe they were shell shocked. Either way, it looks like they were effed from the beginning, 20mm ground fire below and 4 Doras above. Not a place I would want to be!

 

[109ROAMING]

WOW! Very cool mate

The realism effect of black and white is scary

Worth the slow download indeed!

 

[lesofprimus]

Thanks Daniel, glad u enjoyed it...

 

[lesofprimus]

OK time for some links fellas....

First one up is the BIG One, the California Enchilada of videos.... I decided for my next video to do a tribute to Drgondog's (Bill) Father and Ace Major Bert Marshall, who flew with and Commanded the 354th FS of the 355th FG....

This video depicts his Sept 11th, 1944 mission in which he scored 2 kills and a probable over Bf190G's from JG53....

Thanks to the tireless efforts of Drgondog, Grau Geist, Erich and myself, Im pround to present this video... It was a huge undertaking that took months of research and preperation.... Its a big one and its just short of 7 minutes, but it tells the entire mission.... Every fact was verified using pictures, combat reports and first hand knowledge....

It is, as far as Im aware, the most accurate video presentation of an actual combat mission.... I had at my disposal numerous combat action reports for Bill and mapped out the entire mission meticulously....
