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.

Potential F-14 tactic to force an overshoot idea - use manual wing sweep in the opposite of the usual way you'd use it. Use it to close the wings instead of extending them, when someone's at your six. And cut throttle, and pull up hard only after (and if) the enemy overshoots. The sudden lack of lift from the reduced wing cross-section combined with lack of thrust should mean the F-14 drops like a rock below the enemy's nose, forcing the opponent out front. You'd have to bring the wings back out quickly and re-engage throttle so you can then position for a kill. Pulling up hard once you close the wings and cut the throttle means the elevators will likely still tilt the nose up, readying you for re-engagement of throttle and extending the wings again. In a way it would be like a weird variant of the Cobra maneuver used to get someone to overshoot. It's basically the antithesis of how Maverick used the manual wing sweep in Top Gun Maverick. And it would have the benefit of dropping under the enemy's nose, out of sight, and messing with their situational awareness. So even if it doesn't work to put you immediately on their six, it's an opportunity to switch tactics while you're somewhere beneath their underbelly - giving you an opportunity to ditch to a two-circle or something. All just a theory in my brain, but I'd like to see it tried.

@SamuelJamesNary 6 ай бұрын

A lot of it would depend on which variant of either aircraft you're wanting to compare on the question of "which is better?" And this will relate heavily to the F-14A vs F-14B, as I don't think there is much difference between the models of the F-15 that came before the F-15C... if someone does have more info on the F-15's development, I'd be happy to see it... But if it's F-14A to F-15C, the F-15 is the better aircraft, mostly as its engines are more reliable and the threat of a major stall in the engine isn't a threat. The early Tomcat could do a lot of things, but those issues with compressor stalls was enough raise issues that would be dangerous to have while in the air and flying at high speeds. The F-15 may have had some accidents of its own, but not at the same rate as the F-14A. However, by the time you get to the F-14B, I'd argue that both aircraft were essentially equal to each other, even with the Eagle being a younger design, largely as both planes were now using the same engine. With that engine change, the F-14B didn't have the stall issues that the F-14A had.

@RLX71 6 ай бұрын

The F-15C and F-14B did not use the same engine; the F-15C were (eventually) all powered by the F100-PW-220 engine (23,500ish lbs of thrust each), vs the F-14B with F110 GE engines (same engine as early "big-mouthed" F-16Cs, 27,000lbs of thrust each). The F-15C's engines (same as "small-mouthed" Vipers) were optimized for high altitude and high speed, but produces much less thrust than the F110s in a typical BFM environment (but it helps that the Eagle is much lighter than the Tomcat). Fortunately for the F-14, the F-15C was never upgraded with more powerful engines. The heavier, draggier F-15E with the F100-229 (follow-on to the -220s in the -15C) engines can easily supercruise in a "clean" configuration.

@SamuelJamesNary 6 ай бұрын

@@RLX71 - Interesting... And thank you for the clarification on the engines... Though, my key point on the Tomcat's development still stands. The F-14A, while it could dogfight well, it didn't have an engine system that was intended for that role, and thus created problems related to those engine stalls that could happen when those engines were stressed... And from some of the articles that I've seen... I think that also came along with the development of the radar system the early Tomcat used and then the early Phoenix missiles. In pure theory, if the system worked, the Tomcat may never need to see a lot of close-range dogfighting and thus could gain air superiority at range, and thus could afford an engine that wasn't built to cope with it. The fact that the F-14A didn't have these issues with every case that they had these stalling issues was a major problem for the aircraft. Once it got the new engines in the F-14B, it was more reliable and thus didn't have the problems the F-14A had...
