On this channel we like to do a lot of dogfighting most videos are some sort of dogfight between 2 different aircraft as we explore their different capabilities. From time to time I like to dabble in Virtual Reality, I think VR is a great new technology and I love to show that stuff off for the channel from time to time.
If you enjoy war thunder or Microsoft flight simulator 2020 or even dogfighting in Battlefield 2042, consider getting yourself into Digital Combat Simulator by Eagle Dynamics, the Combat side of Aviation with the BVR and Dogfights really provides a different and interesting perspective on aviation. You can fly all kinds of combat aircraft including the F-16, F-15, F-14, JF-17, Su-27, Mig-29, Mirage and the F-18 Hornet along with many other aircraft and helicopters like the Ka-50 and Mi-8.

Serious question, does the AC-130 have combat capabilities in DCS? Also I couldn't find out if DCS has the russian AC-12

@TictacAddict1 8 ай бұрын

Former Army helicopter pilot and helicopter flight instructor. The fastest way to become an outstanding helicopter pilot (this will translate to simulation, too) is to demand precision in every aspect of flight. Examples: Hovering out of your airfield, pick a point directly in front of you. Hovering Exactly 5', over the line, no drift, no deviation in heading; at your imaginary point, do a pedal turn, slow and continuous, no drift, no deviation of your 5' Hovering. Apply the same principles in straight and level flight: Altitude within 25', heading within 2°, speed within 3 kts. You may think you suck at first but you will be a stud if you diligently practice. Practice perfection to become perfect. Almost forgot the most important tip. The scan: Airspeed, attitude, Altitude, heading. Every three seconds followed by small mental control inputs for corrections.

Furthermore, helicopter tactics, like many things, are classified and a real pilot can only share a few basics. The guidance for classified info is that you can share it if anyone can Google it.

9:15 Textbook maneuver to bury the missile. Works every time 😎 Many would say the margins were too close. They would die to the missile. But GS knows, missiles don't have landing gear - missiles can't follow that maneuver. 10:00 and he does it again to demonstrate the reliability of the technique to these foolish nay-sayers. I would tell real Apache pilots to take notes, but I already know anyone crazy enough to pilot a rotary aircraft is crazy enough to pilot it like that.
