No Sound for this upload. 35 Minutes of Dog-fighting (See Info Below)
Video also shows one of the ways the Mouse Joystick is actually useful on the A6M3 to avoid the silly wide and tall cockpit "nose."
My mouse joystick isn't actually dead-center like default but is actually a tad lower where the top of the circle is the actual aim point, and isn't actually where the normal gun sight cross-hair is usually when the aircraft is shifting, but it is really insignificant difference when the enemy is moving and sort of compensates for the bullet drop a tiny bit.

The Ki-45 is also another great dogfighter in this game although in real life it was just a ground attack aircraft and interceptor mainly. If you use a ki-45, do NOT trust the AI gunner. Considering that the gunner doesn't even aim where the crosshair is pointing when the aircraft is stationary, DON'T RELY ON THE GUNNER AT ALL.
Either take control of the gunner or try to outturn/evade the enemy yourself. It's more worthwhile turn fighting with a hellcat (and changing directions every now and then because they have stronger engines and turning ability but crap rollrate) than flying straight and letting your AI gunner do all the work.
Ah, and did I forget to mention, the Ki-45 actually OUT-TURNS P-51 Mustangs in this game? (Another reason to fix the broken mustang! And I don't even own one yet! Don't ask me how I got MM'd with a mustang btw, theoretically it's impossible but I just did. It was the american one, not the British premium one, and it was in realistic battles then.)

Me and my squadron decided to have a custom battles "Duels at Stalingrad" since WT only allows up to 4 players per squadron and we couldn't get into the same games.
The whole game lasted a little more than an hour but I've compressed the footage to just over half an hour because the other half an hour was probably just spotting and feeding :P
My K/D Ratio in the end was just a little above 1:1 with one kill more than a deaths (11 k 10 d, see scoreboard at the end of video). I had a fair amount of assists though.

OH YEAH AND I FORGOT
GAIJIN LIED BY OMISSION (G-TOLERANCE CREW TRAINING DOES EFFECT NON-MOUSE USERS - Grey/Blackouts actually makes your pilot release the yoke/stick a bit and so simply pulling on a zero will make your plane feel up-down-up-down :'(. Gaijin said, via in-game descriptions that it effects the greying effect and mouse-aim control of the aircraft but joystick had NO description whether it would be effected or not )
