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.

Agreed. A 2 × 2 engagement where each side has a wingman would be a super-interesting knife fight in a telephone booth. Given the outcome three videos ago with GS flying an F-15 and went up against *two* F-4C's, it’s clear wingmen are important. It would be nice if GS at least addressed in his commentary the likelihood of having a wingman in a given tactical situation.

@Michael Harrison By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation.

@vicroc4 Жыл бұрын

@Spetsnazovets I recognize that. My point is that the Eagle is particularly bright even considering that, because it's A. Large for a single-seat fighter and B. Has some seriously powerful engines. I mean, this is the bird that sometimes got called the "Flying Tennis Court" because of its size. And it doesn't have considerations for reduced IR signatures because that wasn't really a concern in the 1970s when it was designed.

#1.The clouds are neat- you should do more dogfights in unusual scenery, like cloudy mountains! #2. YAY, been wondering for EONS when you'd use the IRST systems to try to sneak up on a opponent with out using your radar ! Though you'd want ot be ...in mountains or somewhere where their fighter radar can't see you, and the enemy AWACS is still a problem if you dont have any hypersonic mach 5 extreme range missiles to fling at it..... #3. It's neat seeing you use the flanker at it's max speed- here's hoping we get more max-speed action from you Cough maybe fly a foxbat or foxhound sometime while trying this! cough Solid performance!

The gist of it is either a Thrustmaster or InWin HOTAS from their equivalent competing lines, along with maybe some mounting kit if you don't want to just put your setup on your desk and move your keyboard out of the way. It seems like most people like having their mouse on hand as well too allow interaction with the physical systems in many of the Soviet jets which aren't fully HOTAS compatible anyway, but I also don't play DCS yet myself, nor do I have a HOTAS setup either (kind of the main reason I haven't started, no funds)

Another "mission" of a loyal wingman concept would be a "third party" hand off for a Fox-3. It would keep the pit bull mode off while the launch vehicle could notch sooner. The target wouldn't be sure of a missile launch until the absolute last minute. It would also keep an AWACS safer vs. a data link guided missile.

My thought is on these bvr fights is anyone else amazed at the amount of missiles both planes fire that never get close to the other plane? 6:01 I am at 6:01 and I think they have both fired 2 each. Is that normal in engagements like this? I never knew they would go through that much ordnance to get a kill.

Pretty sure the F-15 can carry something like 20-22 AMRAMMs. And if you had 2v2 with a pusher load and a missile truck load I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be very easy to beat that combo with competent pilots that could really fly the F-15 at her limits.

Those two aircraft are perfect examples of nations always looking for parity and if possible superiority when new systems are announced/fly/go into service. MiG-25 scared the U.S. into building the F-15, which subsequently spooked the Soviets so much they had to make the SU-27, which caused the U.S. to again worry it would lose air superiority and created a whole new generation of fighter aircraft, with the F-22, which could not be matched by the Soviets, because their military defense spending to match the US had bankrupted their economy, ceasing to exist in 1991, which led to the slashing of Raptor production because there was no enemy with a 5th gen anywhere near existing. These aircraft represent entire nations desperate to survive, protect their people and culture from the other.
