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.

Please create a scenario where The F-15E and A-10C are working together while directly competing as they're often compared! Competing in the sense/role of not necessarily helping each other out, trying to get the most kills, and survival! VS Couple Mi-24's, few Iglas, Strela, Tunguska, SA-5, SA-11, and couple SU-25's! Plus provide ground support VS .50 Technical Trucks, BTR's, BMP's, T-72's, and couple T-90's!🙏👍

Gotta take into account the fact that DCS is not 100% accurate, and that it is only a sim and not real. The ingame flight characteristics of both aircraft might not represent real world characteristics.

Imagine you manage to dodge two Meteors in a Tomcat and come to the merge with a 4.5 gen Rafale F4... Very entertaining scenario, loved seeing my first favorite aircraft fighting the Rafale.

Should be quite a sight to behold seeing how well you fared in a Mirage 2000...
