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.

@@chrisihg2253it's been touched on in the forums and on discord and the consensus is... Well... It's not really much of a consensus to be honest. Basically gbu-39s and 39ers are pretty classified in terms of performance and pilot operation. Like it would technically be doable for dcs but it would likely be toeing the metaphorical line. The major (I hesitate to use this word) "consensus" is that if it comes to the F-15E in the future then the warthog has a decent chance of getting them too. But that all depends on what the DOD decides is ok or not. Fingers crossed but be prepared to get your hopes crushed.

The A-10 is probably my favorite plane of all time. That being said, it's days are numbered. Aging airframe, high maintenance costs, slow response time, no stealth, needs air supremacy to function properly. etc etc. Gonna miss the old bird though.

@traviswalker8933 3 ай бұрын

Stealth isn't the main factor that its days being numbered. It's the simple fact that it cannot defend itself against air defense systems and aerial threats. These have to be cleaned up by other jets before this thing is sent to the airspace which makes the AF wonder why they don't use one aircraft for the job instead of two.

@b_rob3318 3 ай бұрын

No other plane can low loiter and provide that low level cas support. Everything flys too fast. You need a CAS plane in the mix with all these multirole and air superiority jets. Nothing else can take down multiple tanks with ordinance and a gun run in a single run. I’d vote for an update on the model. I think the concept is there though. It’s not made for air to air combat just like other jets aren’t meant to take out tanks with their main gun.
