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.

It would be a much more interesting if you switch planes among the rounds. Let's say 3 rounds in a Raptor and 3 rounds in the Sukhoi. A fighter however capable or incapable it may be could display different performance in the hands of a pilot of you calibre. Looking forward to the same dogfight with you on the Sukhoi.

@@franklincerpico7702It does not really matter which jet it is, if you are throwing airshow maneuvers and blow your energy recklessly, you will eventually become a gliding brick. The fact that you can do supermaneuverable stuff does not mean that you should, that is, you only should if you can capitalize on it, and if it fails, can recover from it. That's exactly why cobra, for example, has quite a high recommended initiation airspeed (something in the range of 600 - 800 km/h) - so that after the jet recovers from it, it retains enough energy to be usable. You can attempt it at 300 km/h as well, the jet will probably obey and give it to you, but afterwards you are just going to drop from the sky.

I think the SU-30 had the advantage just because the pilot kept lead turning, in most of the rounds the SU-30 was already 50%-60% done with the turn before you even started turning, and you still kept up which is impressive.

For me, The F-22, F-15, Eurofighter Typhoon, and SU-57 are the best looking. The flankers look really good too, but with closer inspection, they have a lot of stuff jutting out of the fuselage that kind of uglies it up a bit. The F-15 EX II with the black paint is really awesome looking. I prefer the US "clean fuselage" look.

Ya also the su30 is famous for having its ass slip out in turns the more it tries to do those super tight radius turns, really good for 1 turn though but after that u gotta catch ur ass as it tries to drag u down.

The 3 d trust vectoring will make you slow.. Part of the reason the f22 has only 2d trust vectoring to maintain speed and also masking ir signatures

@macrossMX 5 ай бұрын

You can see the design philosophies of the two countries from the aircraft itself. The F-22 is still carrying over a bit of the energy-maneuver theory in its design, and uses 2d TVC to allow the aircraft to turn as tightly while maintaining its plane of travel. the Su-30SM goes all-in with supermaneuvrability to give it the best control at all angles at the cost of energy by being able to deviate its nose from its plane of travel.

The Su-30 The su-30 or rather the pilot is not really experienced with the plane, can that be? I mean, he doesn't even shoot with his on-board cannon, although he had the chance to do so several times, but relies fully on his missiles.

Hi G.S, would you please put links to the mods you use in the description? Sometimes it's hard to tell what versions you're using, where to find downloads, whether the build is private/public release, etc.

Am I missing something, or is the bandit turning before they fully merge?

@cockatoo010 5 ай бұрын

Yes. You usually lead turn at the merge, otherwise you're giving angles away. But you have to know when to lead turn, cuz if you do it too early, you'll give them your 6 for free

Pilot training and experience plays a big part of the fight. Russian pilots averaging 8 hours a month doesn’t compare to US flight time.

@UzairW 5 ай бұрын

The Sukhoi was definitely maneuvering even before the merge, not really respectful of the rules of dogfighting in this context. He couldn't have scored the missile kill in the fourth round if he merged properly, as GS did y starting the turn AFTER the aircraft pass each other. Hell, the Su-30 completed half a rotation at the merge. We need another match with correct merges.

The f22 was only turning after the merge how ever the su30 was turning wayyyy before the merge every time. The F22 would have dogged if the su30 followed the merge rule. Or the f22 just pre turned and also played dirty.
