Title: A little Rangoon Japanese Air Force Footage
Post by: Shifty on May 14, 2010, 03:11:51 PM
I realize it's Ki-43s and not A6M2s and it's staged, but this is a IJAAF perspective on battling Rangoon. Complete with P-40s and Buffalos.  :aok

Wow that is so fake.  I mean those two engined planes actually have Japanese markings and look like Japanese aircraft.. its pure propoganda.

I liked the explosion effects how they overlapped the people on the ground running for there lives (GODZIRA!) over a very detailed, miniature airfield and complex of some sort. Very nice work for the time.

That's what Rangoon will look like tonight. GROOD RUCK ALRIES!  :devil

The aerial footage is real...those bombers look like Ki-21s and G4Ms probably from some front line squadrons that did the films for propaganda...the bombing footage is some really nice editing work...makes you wonder if anyone had the brains to ask how a japanese camera crew happened to be standing in the middle of a bombing target and lived to bring the film back...some of the fighter action is obviously done on a stage.

Yes I realize the aerial footage is real and those are real Ki-21s and Ki-43s. I meant the action is staged. All this is pretty obvious I would think.

Imagine if this was the first film you had ever seen.

EDIT: I should add, and you have never seen an airplane before.

Freaking Japanese bomb****s probably ruined the only good furball on the island.  And the ki-43s did nothing but pick!!!!! I saw only one Japanese plane damaged. Nice freaking damage model. Buncha bomb hacks and aimbots I bet.

That was stellar film footage.  The best footage I have seen of real dogfights.  I wish we could see all the footage they edited out that showed the P-40's and Brewsters shreading the bombers.

I enjoyed it very much, thanks for posting.

I was addressing Fencer bud.

I liked the closeups of the Jap pilots in the planes that were rocking like the kiddie rides in front of the grocery stores.  :rofl

And you clearly missed the fact I was commenting on the lack of a suitable bomber in game.  :rolleyes:
