    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.

Two, the damage modeling on the KA50-3 is really good! I was really surprised the amount of damage from the SAM system. Looks great! Anyway, great video as usual.

    With aircraft a lot of the talk is always about missiles, since better missiles often is even more important than better plane. What about helicopters? Seems to me something like a Hellfire (9kg warhead on 49kg total missile, so 40kg/80% to bring the warhead where it needs to go) even compared to something as short ranged as a Sidewinder (9kg warhead on 85kg total missile, 76kg/90%) won't be able to compete. An AMRAAM (20kg, 160kg total) or HARM (68kg, 361kg total) is in a totally different league. Plus aircraft would fire from much greater altitudes and at higer speeds.
    Are attack helicopters basically restricted to attacks on undefended/nearly undefended targets or taking enourmous risks due to their limited engagement range? Are there any longer ranged missiles for helicopters? Maybe some weird Soviet designs (after all they love missiles)?

      I believe one difference in helicopter armament is the burn rate. Since these missiles aren't chasing after other aircraft potentially moving at upwards of mach speeds, they don't need to be nearly as fast as a Sidewinder or AMRAAM. Since they have a lower burn rate, they may be slower, but their total burn time is much longer, resulting in increased ranges.

      Ka-50 can take two Kh-25, 140kg warhead each. Range is still around 10km though.
      Helicopters are limited to visual range anyway, so there's a little sense to give them anything with more range than 15-20km

    Use a team of four black sharks with 2 aircraft split into A and B. Use pincher attacks on missile defense systems. Kill probability will go up; and being shot down will go down.
