@@chickenychickens07 well, yesn’t. He is trying to climb away from the MiG21s, which was an incredibly common tactic during Vietnam since the F8 had a superior thrust to weight ratio.
I'll say it again, the anime is depicting an Extemely famous F-8 tactic used during Vietnam against Mig's of all types. By going verticle Shin plays to the advantages of the F-8 Crusader with its superior weight to thrust ratio. Unfortunately for Shin his parts dealer McCoy is rather shadey at times and has sold him a defective compressor.
Apparently he’s also using the spinning trick taught to him by Anakin Skywalker. The F-8 is supremely outclassed here. If it was the F-13s it would have made sense. But the actual fight happened against 17s and only a pair of guerrilla F-13s.
MauserK43 Two things - I use to fly F4s for the USAF in Vietnam. I had a friend who flew F8s and I’m pretty certain that MiG21’s had a better T/W ratio. The North Vietnamese rarely sent 21s up after us because they were so rare and expensive. The advantage we had was that we could load our airplanes up with G better than a 21 given our higher tolerance for wing loading. Plus a delta wing bleeds energy and lift quickly in a tight turn. 21s weren’t so bad if you keep them at a distance. The ones we hated were the MiG19s. That little jet was a hot rod.
Despite everything that's inaccurate or wrong with this scene (and show as a whole) if it weren't for this video I wouldn't have found one of my favourite anime and I certainly wouldn't have discovered my taste for trance music or my favourite aircraft of all time, the Vought F-8 Crusader so thanks Area 88!
The F-8 and its pudgy little brother, the A-7 were good aircraft. I keep wondering if the Super Hornet was a better decision than an an upgraded A-7. If the Navy didn't like single engine frames, well they're stuck with one, now!
Interesting thing to note: the aircraft Shin is flying, a Vought F-8J, could only carry Sidewinders on fuselage-mounted pylons. Here, they are mounted on wing-pylons (attached to the wet pylons). Also, these Sidewinders are AIM-9Ls, but the Crusader could only carry the B, C, and D sidewinders. Edit: upon looking at the flight manuals, the F-8E/J could also carry AIM-9Gs.
I think its a F-8E .. however its irrelevant as Area 88 aircraft are almost allways heavily customized and modified .. Mikey F-14 for example was moded for 1 pilot operation, Kim Harrier performed much better than a standard , and i guess Shin F-5E having a modern HUD instead of a gunsight was a mod too....
@@WALTERBROADDUS you can usually tell based of the front canard shape and the color of the fuselage. Many of the later sidewinders used double delta canards instead of normal deltas. for the fuselage it looks to blue to be a 9L, it looks for like it was based on an inert training sidewinder as most inert ordinance tends to be a sky blueish color.
@@goliragames8669 of course this is an anime. Accuracy is sort of a variable of artistic license. But I forgot they do have different heads to the various models.
The F-8 was the most outstanding fighter the Navy had. When you're out of F-8s , your out of fighters. Last gun fighters for the U.S. Navy was VF- 201@ VF-202 out of NAS Dallas Texas. All other's were photo birds
Because 1. Because his Crusader will fly like a truck with them attached 2. He will loose and die and 3. It will break his neck and he will die (if he is not already dead from previous actions.
@@Gabriel-fl2wj standard procedure is to look up while ejecting so the pressure can be placed on your shoulders instead of your neck. Necks are definitely more fragile.
It does not matter how many years have passed since we have seen shin for the first time. But we all knew from that moment on, that we also want to take to the sky. P.S. This show made me a MiG-21 enjoyer.
It depends on the thrust-to-weight ratio of your aircraft, and how hard your aircraft turns. If you have great T/W, then go for a vertical rolling scissors. If your aircraft turns good, then go for the vertical rolling scissors. ----- An F-8 could do the Cobra (Pugachev's) if it has thrust vectoring. :)
Indeed, as you said: 1) 1 vs. 8 in a realistic dogfight rarely works out for the underdog, 2) I forget the specifics bit I believe Shin was commenting earlier in that episode about his afterburner acting up also 3) the F-8 Crusader is a slightly antiquated fighter even during the time this takes place.
mikedawgx01 8 vs 1 (or 7 vs 1 as when the other 6 arrive Shin has allready shot down one of the fuirst 2 MIGs) might seems propostrous but in the time period this anime is set (early 80s with mainly 60-70s technology) it wasnt that much.. In the 70s an Israel pilot.. Giora Epstein found one day himself in his Mirage III alone against 11 MIG-21s ... but as he himself said in that period of time without radar guided or all-aspect IR heat-seekers (you had to be preciselly at the target's 6 so the Sidewinder/Atoll would get a lock) it didnt mattered how many enemy planes there were as hi said "it doesnt matter if they were 1 , 10 or 100... in your tail there is only room for one enemy" .. only one plane could attack him at a time (if 2 enemy jets try to get in one will obscure the other eventually).. and all of them will run out of fuel quicly due to combat engine demands (full power+afterburner) so in a few minutes they would all have to turn back to base or risk fuel starvation).. A really good coordinated enemy attack could take advantage of those numbers but in the combat heat and in that time without data-link and tactical displays it was really hard to coordinate in real time fighter jets in such tight space... even any radar controlers would see only a mashup of messed dots in his scope all changing position quickly Epstein survived his fight against 11 MIGs... he got 2 MIGs and then all had to break off for home due to fuel bingo
I know it's a bit pedantic, on my part, but what slightly bugs me aswell, is the placement of the Sidewinders. The F8 carried nothing, underneath its wings.
The guy who created Area 88 is an avid aircraft modeller,... his friend is an avid ship modeller,... who also made an anime about a WW2 IJN battleship, in space.
Always loved this scene from the 2004 version of "Area 88". Even after sooooo long when I watched it back in 2004 (and even up to now) I still like say "oh SHIT" at 01:21 and then at 01:27 I'll be like wanting to shout "EJECT! EJECT!".
Development of the modern Sparrow began in 1955 by Raytheon. The USAF adopted the AAM-N-6a for its new F-110A Spectre (F-4C Phantom II after 1962) interceptor, and assigned the designation AIM-101. The AAM-N-6b was a further improved version, which entered service in 1963. It is described below under its post-1963 designation of AIM-7E.
Japanese dialogue; Spanis subtitles. Joy. However, I do remember this moment from the old Area 88 comic book series, where Shin was shot down and he had to buy a new plane...just as he was getting close to paying off his "ransom fee" to get out of the Area 88 mercenary force.
+sparrowJLT *Somebody should suggest the Chance Vought F-8 for a module in Eagle Dynamics DCS World 2.5.* In the skies over 1960's indochina, although the Mikojan-Gurevich-17 shouldered most of the interception load for the Viet People's Air Force, the Mikojan-Gurevich-21 was being cycled in to better fight the two best United States combat jets of the era, the USN-USMC/Chance Vought F-8 (which packed four Colt Mk 12 Mod 2 cannon, Hughes AIM-9 Bravo IR AAMs and Hughes AIM-9 Charlie SARH AAM's) and the USN-USMC-USAF/McDonnell F-4 (which packed Raytheon AIM-7 SARH AAMs, Hughes AIM-9 Bravo IR AAMs, and even the occasional AN/SUU-23 gun pod in Air Force service). The F-8 Juliett would be a period-authentic bogey for the now-released MiG-21bis.
B. C. Schmerker Funny, was thinking the same. Thinking of setting up a project to make one. If you know of any 3D artists, aeronautical engineers or people with experience making DCS ad ons, let me know.
In military practice, the F-8 Crusader is not equipped for the air forces of allied nations of the United States. It is limited to the US Naval Air Force, the French Air Force and the Philippine Air Force. Compared to the MiG-21, it was retired earlier. MiG-21 is still actively fighting in the Syrian battlefield at the present time. In later episodes of Area 88, Shin Kazama piloted the F-8 Freedom Fighter, which was a fighter similar to the MiG-21 when it was sold by the Americans to many countries.
Japanese pilot in an American jet, fighting a Russian jet, with Spanish subtitles. His hair is growing out of his helmet and it's out of control. One minute his wingtanks are there, next minute they're not, he shoots down a MiG-21 with an inert missile and it's all to club music. ROFLMAO! I LOVE IT!!!
Been so many years since I read this manga. If I remember correctly, Shin almost always used guns over missiles since the missiles available to him were substandard rejects that rarely performed correctly.
I love the big 21 shoots like it ha its 21mm gun on the top but IRL it had to aim upwards a little for it to hit but it appears the are shooting as if they are in prop planes.
i only saw airings of this anime a long time ago, and in long intervals too, mainly because i'm so busy with school, but generally, to make things short, what is this anime all about? the photographer, or the pilot?
1. 10000 Feet 2. You always eject while you still have the chance. Ejection seats, especially ones in older aircraft can take SECONDS to get clear of the aircraft, which is a long time when your losing a thousand feet every second. The chute wouldn’t open at 10,000 feet, the pilot would likely use the manual release to get clear of the seat and activate their own chute after ejecting from that height.
para chavalote vi el manga y el anime de esa epoca, a fines de los 70's y comienzos de los 90's, y es verdad, los animes actuales son diseñados de una forma, mas comercial, ademas que usan animaciones por computadora para los estilizados. Se extraña mucho las tecnicas de animacion que se hacia antes no?
Know this is an animation but it would be a clever idea to drop fuel tanks in a dogfight especially against a MiG-21. And another funny thing the MIG-21 has 30mm cannons with only 30 rounds of ammunition for 5secs of firing unless these are the late 23mm versions.
You can put a Sidewinder air to air missle on anything. But the plane it is mounted on must have the proper radar to lock onto another airplane, and it must have an IFF program so it doesn't lock onto everything with a heat signature, like the ground.
Fun fact: this anime directly inspired the creators of the game Ace Combat.
Strange, considering the 1st "Ace Combat" which was originally called "Air Combat" came out in 95 "Area 88" came out in 04.

Because they are training ones. CATM-9, coloured in blue and IRL have no warhead. Being shot down by them must be disappointing))
Then again what bothered me is when he used the pickle button to fire gun, and used trigger to fire missile.

Nice to watch something like this after I just finished that nailbiter of a third DLC mission in Ace Combat 7.
Shin is deffinately playing into the strengths of the F-8/e Crusader by going verticle, just to bad his compressor blew out while attempting it.

In manga Shint buys after Crusader the Swedish drakkhen, at the same time when Miky manages to get his hands on a Tomcat after Iran revolution
I have seen it here in TH-cam, is called The Cockpit and I suppouse is the best anime series about World War II around.
You can put a Sidewinder air to air missle on anything. But the plane it is mounted on must have the proper radar to lock onto another airplane, and it must have an IFF program so it doesn't lock onto everything with a heat signature, like the ground.
Sidewinders don't use radar.

Holy shit this video is from 2006. Now that's old.
Wat the name of the song??
I'm sure I had a game called UN Squadron on the Super Nintendo that had this character and aircraft?
I'm thinking back over 20 years now mind you!

They had Sidewinders on the fuselage as primary AA weapon, but they did have wing weapon pylons.
Only the A7, had pylons underneath its wings.
@@THE-BUNKEN-DRUM No F-8E had wing pylons for e.g Mk82 bombs. Plenty of pictures of this exist.
@@Gripen90 : I stand corrected, my bad.
@@THE-BUNKEN-DRUM no worries, it also not that often they were seen with them. They mostly were relegated to air to air duties.
@@Gripen90 : Thanks for the heads up mate 👍
