    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 prefer more up close and personal dogfights consider the IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battle series and experience intense WWII aerial combat over famous battlefields such as Stalingrad, Moscow, Rhineland and Normandy. Fight in and against Russian, American, German, British warbirds such as the P-51 Mustang, P-47 Thunderbolt, Bf-109, FW-190, Spitfire, Hurricane and rugged IL-2 Sturmovik attack plane. You can also fly legendary SPADS, Fokkers and Camels in WWI dogfights over the trenches of WWI and discover your inner Red Baron! And all of this can be experienced in jaw dropping virtual reality!
    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.

    Huge Thank you to Tron for coming out and putting up a great fight in the Rafale, As always when the mod is released, it will be announced here on the channel, these are just some sneak peaks for everyone for the upcoming mod. hope you guys enjoyed and as always please remember these mods are based off of aircraft that are classified and often times are simply based off of publicly available information about the aircraft and therefore do not represent the full and true capabilities of the aircraft in question, thank you watching and I'll see you the next one guys, much love.

    I'd like to see some 2v1 and 1v2 dog fight breakdowns.

Group BVR would also be awesome to watch even if the Amraam isn't what we wish it was.

    Tried to beat that mission around twenty times with a variety of different aircraft (including the F-22) and failed...until I used the Rafale. Flew it a few more times after that and realized it's a great aircraft.

    • @piwo647
      @piwo647 2 ปีที่แล้ว +30

      @@kinggeorgewows9695 I don’t know what would make you say that. Euro fighter is a more powerful aircraft while Rafale is a more balanced one aligned with the Dassault philosophy.
      If we look at their oppositions in exercises the rafale came out on top always (but that was dogfighting). And it’s also probably because it is a better born aircraft and it didn’t struggle like the EF did in its evolution. As a consequence pilots in Rafale have more flight time and thus more training than pilots in EF. Both aircraft at max potential are probably quite comparable and it’s good that they are on the same side.
      From a possibility of evolution it seems that the rafale is more upgradable and was thought with that in mind whereas evolution in the EF has always been slowed by different interests of different economic partners.
      Rafale is also a more reliable platform and availability rate is much higher than the EF, all of this can explain partly why it has been winning markets recently (of course there is a political aspect to this).

    Never ceases to amaze me that Rafale was the result of France pulling out of the EFA program. Yet it hit service well ahead of the EFA. Thats the issue with design by committee. It delays and waters down everything. I know the EFA is a capable 4.5 gen fighter but it was almost outdated before it entered service.

    @pajownik 2 ปีที่แล้ว +22

    I'm no expert but in my opinion, these two are as close in design as it gets. No doubt they are tuned differently but if you were in any other jet, it would make a little difference which one of these two would you be against. No doubt Rafale is better looking though.

    It is my understanding that the Eurofighter Typhoon in REAL LIFE is more capable both in the one circle and the rate fight, simply superior in every aspect to the Rafale (not an "edge" factor). Either both these mods are very inaccurate (in terms of flight model) or one of them is.

      Rafale offers higher sustained aoa, meaning it can fly a smaller radius. Eurofighter is better at rate fighting, meaning it can fly faster in circles. In any case the differences are small.

  • @gerhardbarckom2
    @gerhardbarckom2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Two planes with very similar dogfight performances, which means that the outcome of the fight depends more on the mistakes made by the opponent (or yourself) than on the plane. I personally love both.But it must be admitted that the Rafale is much more versatile than the Typhoon, in fact the air intake design prevents the possibility of being embarked on an aircraft carrier, the slats in front of the cockpit Limits visibility for ground attack, etc.

    Out of the canard/delta winged planes, eurofighter, rafale, gripen, and I guess technically the J-20 is one too, I think the rafale is the best looking. I just don't like the air intakes on the eurofighter, and the gripen's look old like the F4 phantom. I don't know what to say about the J-20. The rafale has the best lines/style.

    • @kilasracingfactory

    The reason the Eurofighter and Rafale are so close is because the French were originally part of the Eurofighter project, but then left and built their own fighter aircraft, I believe it was die to the French need for a naval carrier based fighter that the other participants did not need and so they left when they felt like they wernt getting what they wanted.
