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.

Unfortunately neither are accurately simulated. They're still very classified. I've seen quotes from generals saying the f35 is stealthier than the f22. In 2005 one said the f22 AND f35 are stealthier than the b2. And recently a few more have said the f35 is stealthier than f22. Nobody outside of the field knows the true RCS or what any of its on board systems are capable of.

This whole video just felt like the F-22 playing with its food. I’ve seen a lot crazier maneuvers out of that plane in these videos and a lot of close opportunities where a slight pull would have ended the fights a lot earlier.

@@BeingFireRetardant Still very unlikely that scenario will ever happen again. Especially since you will never have a lone F-35. It's more worth it to save the weight for the next 50 years than to load a gun in the fear that you might have a gun fight. I'm sure there were people saying how much more reliable horses were than cars whenever they broke down in the early 1900s. Doesn't mean anyone would take a horse over a car in a road trip of 1000 miles nowadays.

The F-35 that got "lost" was being flow by the Marine Corps. The aircraft experienced a malfunction that auto-ejected the pilot without the pilot's consent and crashed somewhere in South Carolina. My buddy in the Corps stated that the situation proves why the Marines can't have nice things and why they aren't given the new toys; they just find a way to break them early on.

Hey man, I'd like to remind you, that you are the better pilot in the dogfight most of the time. On top of that, if you also fly the jet , thats clearly the better one of the two, then the outcome of the dogfight is certain. Which makes the video overall much less exciting. The video would be much more interessting if you would happen to fly the F35 or generally the worse jet.

Like I keep saying man you should use the F-35 against a whole range of plains in BVR. Think you need to prove to yourself that it is a ridiculously capable stealth platform used in the way it was designed. I truly think you could beat most if not all aircraft in BVR. Wish you would do it. You might find a live for fat Amy. Would be interesting to see if DCS has the cockpit and your 360° visual there for you to use. 🤔 just a thought, but keep the sick videos coming. Great Chanel mate.

We know that nothing can out dog fight an F22. What would be a "fair fight" would be Beyond Visual Range combat. In that scenerio, I think the F35 will come into its own assuming that the sensor suite is integrated correctly into the model. The quarterback will not beat the coach.
