@GrowlingSidewinder Dude another great vid and great manoeuvres! Little tip: against smaller size jets like the Gripen, when you are in one circle gunfight with a similar delta platform like Mirage 2K, perhaps a little bit of altitude relative to the bandit will give you much better attitude during deck transition, so much so that you’ll invariably gain a firing solution right at the cusp or onset of the transition thanks to the fantastic AoA that the Mirage can pull. But I am sure you already know that. BTW, how can I order your Hoodies from India bro??

@GrowlingSidewinder3 жыл бұрын
this is due to dumping the nose to gain energy as the fight goes on, you're constantly using gravity to help you gain energy and youre converting that energy to nose position trying to get the kill, over time dogfights will drag down, unless 1 bandit is actively working to keep it high altitude due to some advantage they may have at the higher altitudes.
