    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.

    Maby you could start a series or mini series of how to dogfight. Even as just tips, say what to be aware of in or against different planes. Of course pure theory cant teach you how to fly but without theory you cant do anything. You're great pilot with much knowledge and such fantastic voice. And I bet that lot's of people would love to see that series

    • @vortex6818
      @vortex6818 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Some tips:
      1. Try not to be greedy. Pulling HUD BFM only bleeds your energy, and if you didnt hit him then you just put yourself in a disadvantage. (But at the same time dont play around, when you get the chance to kill your opponent, do it)
      2. Situational awareness. Cant kill something you can see
      3. Know what are the strengths and weaknesses of your aircraft, and your opponent's aircraft

      The thing about planes these days is they aren’t all about stick and rudder skills. It’s about systems integration and leveraging strengths through matched tactics. It wouldn’t take the full 2 years, but 6-12 months for basic capability is potentially realistic.

  • @RagsHSC-7
    @RagsHSC-7 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Absolutely correct as you are a great pilot in the tomcat being in the seat continuously such as our military pilots in the USA. Although many have flown various other aircraft for years. Let’s say there is F-18 Super hornet now for 2 years straight ! If they were to get in one of their previous Aircrafts it would take a reacclimate themselves to it with more seat time again. Pick your weapon and stay in it whichever one it is that makes you happy and brings joy to your day ✨🦅✨ never sweat the bogey because now you have the skills to bring the best attributes out of your Aircraft ! Ty. Also as a real Hilo pilot can’t wait to get the advanced for the Apache. The best private Hilo bar none is the Notar. Thank you so very much for your time and effort and your channel it is obviously A passion for you as it is for myself. Wish you well on your journey with many many victories God bless ✨🕊✨

    I've noticed that you most often fight a different aggressor aircraft that what you're flying. I think it'd be interesting to see some same aircraft battles, f-16 vs f-16 (different countries for example). You're very good at knowing the strong points and weaknesses of the opposing aircraft, but how good are you when you're fighting the same airframe and thus eliminating some of the advantages. :{)

      it would be nice to see him more often in lets say Mirage, Hornet or his recently claimed favourite MiG-29 going up against F-16 and F-14 because im kinda getting tired of dogfights consisting of him autowinning the moment he is able to drag the other guy to the deck simply because he is in the two circle dominant aircraft all the time.

    Your videos make me want to get into DCS. I've been playing Sturmovick since the first release and was an energy fighter like you. I did not realize these principles survived into the jet age so well. You seem to be an expert at it. I eventually got so good at it I would intentionally allow enemies to pull behind me in an idea kill position and control relative speed to get behind them without a turn fight. As they approached I would turn gradually to the right to lure them in behind me and throttle down allowing them to get in close for the kill. Then I would spoil their shot by rolling to the right 90 degrees and nose down sharply for a convex left turn. Only an expert can hit an aircraft in this path because the target motion is opposite to the point at which you would normally lead the shot. Simultaneously I would throttle up hard to even speed ending up directly behind them for the kill. I can't tell you now many planes I downed using this technique.

    Love the Sioux City tail flash. Used to be on their F-16s until the unit switched airframes to 135s. We used to have a jet tail #57-2607 that we painted with the old tail flash for the unit's anniversary until it was sent to the boneyard☹️

      Damage is reflected on which part of the aircraft is hit, and it’s aircraft specific.

    Have they fixed the low speed maneuverability issues? I've been flying the M2000C while they fix the flight model on the F-16. Also, any word on if they are going to nerf the JF-17? There's some serious nation building going on with that plane.

    Just wondering… I’ve heard you say before that the F-16 is called Viper and not Falcon, but growing up in an Air Force town in the 70s and 80s I always heard it referred to as Falcon. And even Lockheed Martin website refers to it as Falcon. I know this isn’t a big deal, I’m just curious as to the multiple names of the plane. Love your videos! Takes me back to when I was a kid watching these planes fly over every day, and seeing the occasional dog fight training.

    • @GrowlingSidewinder

      Hi Mark, its official name is the "fighting falcon" but its nickname is the viper, the way the A10 is nicknamed the Warthog instead of the Thunderbolt II.

    Interesting fight, based on this, it would seem an F15 pilot out avoid going to the deck against an F16 at all costs. I once heard an F15 pilot make the statement "an F15 literally has 2x the control surface area of an F16, of course it can out maneuver one". Perhaps what I missed was the qualification "at sufficient altitude".
