​@@TheLastApplePiePre-flaring doesn't counter Russian Bias☺️

@@mikeyplayz8438pre flaring works, it’s when you don’t see the launch and it’s too close to you.

And the 9M vs Su27 that doesn't sound familiar to you

Thank you :D

Yeah that would be good.

They're calculated mistakes lmao. But no seriously, I play dcs as well and I love growling. I think growling is basically one of the best dcs youtubers out there. But that's the thing. In wt, the su-27 airframe slightly overperforms. Plus it's a more arcadey game so the physics aren't on point. I address my mistakes in entirety in the comments and especially as replies, just scroll through them if you have the time so you can understand my thinking at the time.

@@snowi9585 I was just saying that every country game will showcase there country somewhat higher then the other countries. Show me US made games where US is a villain and Russia is shown as hero(not saying there won't be, but not a lot that we commonly know about). And as I a said, a lot of people in comments below did not address the mistakes of F15 pilot, such as taking Su 27 in one circle, trying to move away in 2 circle when the turn was getting tighter (ended up giving room to Su27 to shoot him). And I am not even an expert in aviation, just watching Growling Sidewinder videos, I have learned basic dogfighting, such as when to ditch a circle, or when to pull nose harder for the shot 😂. Funny note: The reason I hate people saying Russian bias is because I am soviet main and can still get killed in craziest possible ways. My KV2's 152 mm shell gets bounced off a stupid Stuart. But I won't say British bias. An angled German tank will take almost any shell from my tank, but it won't be German bias. It's just Gaijin servers doing Gaijin things 😂😂😂

@@shubhamjuvatkar4023 Thing is, you don't really have much of a choice with the flanker. That thing just pulls faster than you can, it can just react to your turn and make it a complete one circle. The r-73 hmd combo is scary in this game. Flanker gameplay is just reactionary, like you react to your enemy and play like that, but with the f-15 it's a guessing game, like "Will he turn it into a one circle? Will he stall himself here?" Stuff like this. And believe me if I could I just stall myself with him I would, but even if I put engine power to 0 and turn the airbrake on, depending on my closure, I'll still be kind of dead. You need space in order to stop yourself. The flanker can just stop almost instantly. I had enough space like one time to stop myself before overshooting, and even that one time it ended up resetting the rate anyways. It's true though, I felt like I had no counter to these last second cobras. By the time I'm almost on his ass and pulling lead, he's just going up and stalling himself, and I just cannot follow him. The f-15 is very unresponsive at low speeds. Also people are bashing the fuck out of me in the comments lmao.

@@snowi9585 lol

in the same real world against late 90s flanker vs su27 u could say bvr goes for su27 aswell , r77 + r27er vs aim120b/c (early) ,er would still outrange those and they also have their own arh. just cus they werent as active dosent mean f15 was the only king.

​@hemendraravi4787 tbh if we're using their most advanced equipment I think F15EX with AMRAAM-ER would still win.

@@kickazz3638 yea jump from 90s to 2020s good idea , cant the f35 shit on f15ex anyways ?

​@@hemendraravi4787Depends. The F-35 can barely dogfight and the B variant is barely an upgrade over its great-great-great grandpa, the F4 Phantom II.

@@mikeyplayz8438 depends ? yea in ur dreams , depends only if the f15ex somehow managed to dodge every single amraams launched by f35. f15 wont even see it.

No, no it wasn’t. The MiG 25 was a shitbrick with a giant engine and powerful radar. It was an interceptor. And though the F-15 was made to combat the MiG-25 due to the record breaking performance in regards to speed and climb, as well as thoughts of it being a super-manoeuvrable platform (thanks to the large wingspan). However it turns out that you need large wings to make a whale fly, a common trait of highly manoeuvrable platforms. It was NOT a direct counterpart to the F-15.

It was A-12 & SR-71 Now the foxbat has grounded and its task currently carried on by the mini awacs Foxhound and Flanker-H (30SM)

Sorry, but no, the Mig-25 is purely a interceptor with one role, to intercept bombers and sr-71's.

Don’t forget about the r77

And the energy is just out the ass with that thing, it’s a very close dogfight between the two, super balanced it all comes down to skill, and these guys put on a show

​@@batlax18 "skill" HMD with thrust vector missiles. A 70s F15 vs a 80s Su27. The F15's in game are all fake made-up Frankenstein jets. It's the worst model of anything in War Thunder other than maybe the Abrams.

@@batlax18 I think it’s the outline of the cockpit and darker tint and the irst being not centered

Cope

It does but it's hard to actually pull this off because 2 circle fight takes a long time giving other the chance to 3rd party you. The 27 also has HOBS which he can use to inst rate 180 and kill you. @@batlax18

Exactly, top comment is a Russian main coping his eyes out. Everything is very balanced right now, and the F15 is finally performing correctly, it’s a very close dogfight and it’s incredible

All down to skill

Two circle was vile lol

Finally someone who just enjoys watching some epic fighting rather than arguing about the performance of either plane

Amen to that

I mean at the end of the day the snail is going to make it whatever they want. At this point everyone is just beating on a dead horse.... So why not just appreciate the time and creativity put into the content 💯

Well that was unexpected. People are bashing me for "overshooting" the flanker in the cobras when I'm simply continuing the rate fight. Thanks a lot!

@snowi9585 yea, no problem. I'm just happy to see someone use the f15 in rate fights against the su27 and clearly you see the f15 outrating the su27

It is understandable. There's only so much you can do in the eagle when the flanker can pull as much AOA as it wants. Yes, the eagle does outrate the flanker, but the moment you start going 1 circle is the moment you die. Which is why you can see that I just turn 180 in some of my merges, even if that means giving my ass to the enemy, because then at least I know I've forced a rate fight which I can maybe potentially win. Biggest example of this is the long round where I run out of fuel. I assure you I would've been dead turn 1 had I kept going on my turn. I can't just let the flanker push the 1 circle. It's an impossible fight.

@@snowi9585 oh I get that, and don’t get me wrong you did very good still (assuming you don’t coincidentally share the opponents name). Just talking about a few moments where there were some very obvious opportunities for both of you to get shots in that weren’t taken, getting into the merge at Mach 1.1, attempts at making things unnecessarily fancy, that kind of stuff. Then again it’s all hindsight and a perfect dogfight where no one makes a mistake doesn’t exist

@@commitselfdeletus9070 again, completely understandable. I for one did not touch full control pulling at all. Believe me if I was confident in a shot, I took it. And I merged every time at about mach 0.7-0.8. Gaijin just updated the f-15 to pull juust a few more degrees at those speeds. And yeah as for fancy manouvers, I tried my best to just survive really... That's the thing, when you see the nose of the flanker, your new objective is: survive. So I was putting out flares and jinking around trying to have him miss as many bullets as possible

@@snowi9585 gaijin will probably continue to mess around with the flight models for a while to come having seen the forum posts. But of course, нет товарищ, update must go live as soon as enough bugs have been ironed out for the game to actually start somewhat reliably. Community should probably push for longer dev servers so that this doesn’t keep happening and messing up the live server. The flanker had an air spawn for a short time for god sake lmao

@@commitselfdeletus9070 it is what it is. Currently I think the flanker's energy retention is still a bit high. The thing is a flying bus at super low speeds. Cobras should be niche and hard to pull off, not just drag for your plane followed by easy recovery, if you get me. The cobra is a one trick horse, and especially at these low altitudes the flanker would've 9/10 crashed or entered a flat spin and crashed. But other than that and the bullshit r-73s with the 6 27er setup, I think the flanker is fine

True. If I had an hmd and aim-9x like the flanker (r-73/aim-9x whatever) i could've pulled off a lot more missiles. But as it is, I need to pull lead to even hope that the missile gets close to the enemy, while the flanker just hmd's that r-73 and shoots at high aspect.

Thanks a lot! It was very close.

yeah hope they fix that

@@francoarca2122 eh they could add a newer r73 without jumping to the r74

Yez :>

Because of different camouflages?

There are two Su-35s: Su-27M, has canards. Su-35S, digitalised cockpit and thrust vectoring

Su-27M with canards and thrust vectoring is the Su-37

@@Yamaha_Kid Su-35S omits canards is what I meant

@@Yamaha_Kidthe su-37 is the same thing as the su-27m

Sure! I could do that, but then what's the point of a dogfight?

@@snowi9585 The point of a dogfight is when both parties have a way to kill the other if they try to flee. They do not arise otherwise.

I can tell you the result. It's highly dependent on the pilot flying it and the controls mode in war thunder. I've had 1v1s in which I completely stomp the f-14 in my 15 every round, but if the pilot knows what they're doing and uses every trick in the book, it can both pull better instant turn (1 circle), better sustained turn (2 circle) and it can do flanker style turn reversing.

Understandable. While me reversing my turns seems completely dumbass to do, it's the best chance I get. I try my hardest to keep that su-27 nose off of me. If I want to shoot a missile, I have to pull lead as if going for guns. The su-27 can just one circle high aspect r-73 shoot me down. So yes, I understand why you're saying I wasn't doing the best, but believe me it's a difference between certain death and potential death.

@@snowi9585 i understand that thought process and wasn’t saying you did bad infact after now dueling my one of my friends in 4th gens I am less confident but I think your errors were more with the set up and less with anything after. I simply feel I might be able to find a better way of winning against the Su-27 in that sense

@@mochathegrande3640 Mhm, I get it. I guess I was being a bit too careful after seeing an r-73 just do a hmd 90 degree turn and kill me through flares

Fully spaded, yes

Not every time

@@christopherchartier3017correct, Ace Combat 7, “DareDevil” very nice background music 👍🏻

@@batlax18 ah. The only Ace Combat I ever played. Never went passed mission 3 or 4 though. No head tracking no deal for me lol

Cope.

It's not about who's best, it's about balance we want all to have an equal as possible fight.

Cope and seethe. There is a reason why American pilots were strictly prohibited in engaging Soviet jets in dogfights after the reunification of Germany. NATO got to see what the Fulcrum can do and in a mock dogfight it absolutely shat on anything NATO could throw at it. That is also when they got their first look into the archer program which started to alarm a lot of bells. It was a lot better close range missile and 10-20 years ahead of NATO FOX 2 missile technology.

Always someone who thinks they know better than someone who has much much more experience than them...

@@RedTail1-1 that and using a little rudder to snap roll and pull your nose around onto the enemy .. but you need to use real controls with a stick and turn off instructor

@@RedTail1-1 I've continuously not trusted AeroTurtle's dogfight videos due to the fact that the people he fights with make stupidly obvious mistakes. I'm not necessarily looking for him to show which aircraft is 'better' but at least a show to illustrate "These are this aircraft's strengths" and as we see. The F-15 pilot completely drops the ball to such an extent that it's nearly comical. But you see a giant showcase halfway through that the F-15 utterly outrates the Su-27, which _should_ clue the F-15 pilot in but he still completely shits the bed. instead we get the same ol same ol. "Let me 1 circle, over shoot because my plane accelerates really well compared to my opponent, then get shot down and die." There's a difference between watching a dude win because of sheer skill and luck and by skin of your teeth. It's another when the dude is a bumbling around the entire time.

Hi. I'm the person who flew the f-15. I totally understand why you'd think I was being an utter dumbass, and in some places yes, I did do mistakes. Because unlike the flanker, the eagle does not forgive in these instances. Why I'd reverse my turn when I see the flanker coming in 1 circle with me? Because having a flanker on my ass so I can outrate him is better than being stuck in a 1 circle I WILL LOSE. And as for turn rate specifically, yes, on paper the f-15 does have better turn rate, but the flanker's nose goes wherever you want it to go. It does not matter, if you don't manage to start the fight in a 2 circle you don't have a lot of chances for a 2 circle after. As for a/d-ing, I did it and will continue to do it in order to pull up at the last second when I see the enemy pulling lead so he can't follow me up and shoot me. If I hadn't done that in those instances, I would've been dead before I could even pull off my strategy. I'm open to discussions, but try to keep it civil please.
