Not sure if you can trust the difficulty settings. I set up my 3 wingmen to have the Ace setting and set all the AI to easiest for my first try at the combat mode. Literally as soon as we crossed paths 2 of my wingmen were taken down, an F22 and an F18 only the F15 survived while I was piloting the F14. Enemies were all on easiest, a su22 two mig21 a mig 19 and a su27
Yeah, the AI on both sides can be dumb as rocks, and tend to have a lot of midair collisions regardless of the difficulty setting. That's why I turned off midair collisions long ago.
@@SPFLDAngler Oh god, that's even sillier. I've never seen the ally AI just go "nope, I'm out" before, but can totally see it happening. (If it happens to you again, try calling up the radio comms menu and ordering the wingmen back into attack mode.)
@@matthewboman1040 I'm a YS combat teacher in 2UCW. You can see in the video that missiles are pretty easy to deflect in YS with good flare usage, so a large part of our squadron training doctrine is based on teaching the use of the one weapon that *can't* be deflected - and being an instructor in that art, I try to keep myself as well-oiled on it as I can.
The F-16 is, by some distance, the best of them - though I'm not sure how you arrived at there being a difference between the standard (which I use in this video) and the T-Birds one. I teach A2A combat over at the 2nd United Combat Wing on YSFHQ, and in the squad, 3 of our 4 dedicated air superiority jets are built on the stock F-16's snappy flight model. The only practical difference is the weaponry we use on them.

@@HawkbitAlpha they were taken down by the enemy. Then my F15 wingman just flew off into the sunset never to be seen again.

How do you dogfight ai?
The "Create Air Combat" option under the "Simulation" tab in the menu.

Best plane/easiest vanilla plane to use for guaratee kill imo are F-2, F-16 Thunderbird (Some how better than Falcon), F/A-18E, MiG-29, Rafale.

@@HawkbitAlpha I've no idea YSFlight community is this deep, also some how vanilla EF-2000 is useless.
@@gunbuckybucketman4578 YSFHQ has been our main community hub since 2011. If you wanna find what all we're up to, that's the place.
@@HawkbitAlpha Alright, I'm better pick up the sim again.
I guess everything is fucking wonderful!
sick bro
How do you set the difficulty to "Lethal"?
Once you get into the Create Air Combat menu, the farthest right drop-down tabs in it contain the difficulty settings. They're set to Ace by default.
Great !
