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.

Former armament maintainer here, that long gun burst definitely killed your gun. At a minimum we'd have to take it out, guage check the barrels and probably replace each of them, x-ray the housing, and maybe keep some of the original gun to put back in. Your jet will be grounded for 4 days at most unless we got an extra gun. Cool kill tho, lol.

I can reccomend the F-5. Underpowered, under armed (only 2 old sidewinders), lowtech, no fly by wire, radar is shit, only very little chaff and flares. But so much fun to fly. And forces you to develope a feel for you speed, how hard you pull to not break off your wings, not to loose too much energy, and how to use your Mark I eyeballs, how to use countermeasures effectively, etc. Very hard to defeat modern planes, but a lot of fun and it makes you a better pilot. Once you get used to all that, you can switch to a more modern plane, bring in radar, BVR and so on after you got all the basics covered :)

@jfs366 Жыл бұрын

I would say that the flanker had a partial win. He made you use all your AMRAMs so you had to gun the AWACS. If the AWACS had bugged out at the beginning of the fight they might have made it to safety. Also the flanker could have bought enough time for other air assets to intercept you before you could take out the AWACS.

@jamison884 Жыл бұрын

That works both ways. The USAF has an abundance of jets, so it would be a rare engagement to start out with 1 vs. 2, to begin with, and then once contact is made, it would also be a rare event for the USAF to send fewer reinforcements (if the scenario called for it of course). The Davis-Monthan Air Force Boneyard in Tucson Arizona (where they have a detailed preservation process to place many operable jets and helicopters into long-term storage) represents of a larger air force than just about every country except for the top 10 or so worldwide. For example, 326 F-16s, 161 F-18s, and 174 F-15s. :)

@@jamison884 in the given scenario chosen by GS.... Only 1 flanker almost had his number..... If the second one wasn't lost to manoeuvre kill.... The scenario would have been lost.

For reference: GS in an F-22 with normal A2A loadout (6x AIM120, 2x AIM9X) took out 7x F-15 EX. As in the review of Top Gun Maverick that I think I saw on Jell-O's youtube page (former F-14 pilot, IIRC), the quote is: "5th generation fighters are *comically* better." All the R-77 defending GS has to do? Stealth just says "yeahhhh, no need for that". Just sneak into the MAR, 1 missile apiece, then dispatch the AWACS, and that's that. The F-35 can probably do similar things, honestly. So long as it doesn't get into a merge situation, the F-35 should be about as effective as an F-22 so long as armaments last.

Hi! I'm completely new to DCS and I love watching your videos. So much to learn. I do have a question about the AMRAAMS. As I could understand from an old tutorial I watched yesterday, aren't you supposed to maintain a radar lock on the bandit until your missile goes pit-bull? I see a few instances in the video where you fire and instantly go defensive and definitely would not be able to maintain a radar lock on the bandit for a little while. Is there something here I have misunderstood? Or were you able to somehow keep a lock on the enemy while you were going defensive? Is there something els I'm missing here? I'd love to completely understand the dynamics of firing and being effective with the amraams. Thank you in advance! :)

Hey GS, I ve been watching your every video for the last 2 years and I have my first question for you. How does your aircraft radar know when the enemy is only pinging you and trying to lock you vs. when you actually get locked and radars alert tone changes to a locked alert? Is there change in frequency of an enemy radar or what is the clue in tech terms for a radar to know it is getting locked? I know the reason why alert changes when the missile goes pitbull as its a different radar signal coming in fast but what is the reason of alert change between scanning and locking. Thank you so much. cheers from edmonton, alberta, canada

@GrowlingSidewinder Жыл бұрын

hello there another fellow canadian. Thank you for watching so many of the videos goes a long way to supporting the channel. To answer your question when the aircraft is being locked and its trying to communicate that to the pilot its the RWR or Radar Warning Receiver which is doing it not the Radar. The RWR is responsible for detecting enemy radar signatures and displaying them to the pilot. It is also the RWR that is making the audible tones again trying to communicate with the pilot about the nature and severity of the threat. From my understanding the way it interprets this and understands that the aircraft is being locked is by the frequency of the radiation that it is detecting. When the Enemy radar is just scanning the radiation of his radar just passes over you and a low amount of it hits your aircraft the RWR uses this to show you the location of the radar emission. When he tries to lock you his radar focuses on you and shoots a bunch of radiation at you to try to lock you up the RWR picks up this increase of radiation and interprets it as a radar lock. (this is a pretty basic explanation of how the system works) I hope this answer your question.
