    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.

      Could you please show us ground strafes with different weapon setups from ground perspective? We all know how A10 Brrrt sounds from the ground and looks on target, some even know that for Viper's 20mm, but I really wonder how a 37 mm, 6 x 50 cal., 23 mm MiG-21 and 30 mm MiG-29 long strafes would look and sound on target!

      I was talking with Santa Clause the other day and he told me all he wants for Christmas was for you to make a Bf 109 vs. Fw 190 dogfight video.
      Mrs. Clause even told me Santa has been talking about wanting to see this dogfight in his sleep.
      GS, please give Santa this Christmas present. Don't break Santa's heart.
      FYI, in case you were wondering I finally got the PICC line out of my arm and it is looking good, so far, that I might not need to have the bridge they removed from my lower orbital socket replaced.

    2:22 funny you mentioned the MiG-29 becomes almost similar to an F-18. A former MiG-29 pilot for the Royal Malaysian Air Force stated that during his time flying the Fulcrum, during exercises both locally and with foreign forces, only the RMAF's own Hornet (which were purchased at around the same time as the Fulcrum during the mid-90s) ever gave him and his fellow Fulcrum pilots a proper challenge. He also stated that besides its maneuverability, the Helmet Mounted Display is one of the key factors of the Fulcrum's superiority over other aircrafts.

    You should do the US vs Russia thing again but with the rule that you can't choose the same jet twice so it's more interesting.
    Do like 5 or 6 rounds so you can have different engagements.
    Also make it bandit unknown so you have to choose your jet carefully.

      Also specifically, whether it's possible I would say yes, there is a bleak possibility of that happening.
      It depends on what was happening in that time, were the f-16s advancing or retreating, were they engaged by su-30's or not.

    Allways more entertaining to see you prevail despite of the technical difference, rather then because of them :)

    Posting about rate fighting made me think of a thing.
    The F-14 and especially F-16 like to rate fight on the deck. Indeed I get the impression that unless the aircraft are grossly mismatched, a simple rate fight *only* happens on the deck, after it becomes impossible for the disadvantaged fighter to trade in energy.
    So if you're down low, there's a thing you can do in theory against SAMs and AAMs that are faster than you and flying to a proportional-navigation intercept: Fly toward the ground so the intercept point goes underground. The missile flies to the intercept point and crashes. You pull up before crashing. Now in practice you don't have the range and closure information that would be needed for this, and even if you did it would take superhuman skill and timing. You fly low, maybe bounce up and down, and just hope it happens.
    But. At the end of a rate fight, the defensive fighter has no choice but to reverse turns to try for a scissors and therefore fly in front of the offensive fighter's nose, giving him a nice shot setup on each reversal.
    1. Things happen more slowly than with the missile. Closure rates in this situation are low, or else the defender gets his overshoot, and the defender is already timing movements relative to the attacker's actions.
    2. If the offensive fighter chose a rate fight, he probably turns less tightly than the defensive (helpful but not necessary for this scheme).
    3. To hit with guns, the offensive fighter has to lead the defensive by whatever amount.
    And 4. unlike a missile, a fighter has to think about what happens after any given intercept maneuver.
    Soooo...if you're defensive on the deck, can you make turn reversals "for free" by doing them as barrel rolls toward the ground, such that the nose position required to shoot you when you cross the nose would lead to the offensive fighter flying into the ground?

    I like how the MiG-29 pulls TWO stall maneuvers in the first fight. Though to be fair the second one ended rather poorly.

  • @DragonstarFighter

    I am curious about how a a pilot who is used to pulling the AoA limiter, and using differential thrust might be able to handle the jet to get more "Snapshots" against an F-16

  • @corybrown2197
    @corybrown2197 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I love seeing the proof of the double engine design. There’s a whole lot of people from what I hear that always fight for planes to have two engines. For instance the US navy prefers two engines to one while flying over water, hence the F-18’s adoption over the F-16. But you never really get to see it in action. That Mig lost an entire engine and it still flew.
    Makes me wonder why the F-35 ended up with a single engine.

    • @Jkim890
      @Jkim890 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Just a theory, but perhaps it was to make the VTOL abilities of the F-35B easier to implement

    • @TurboHappyCar
      @TurboHappyCar ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @@Jkim890 That's a good point. Otherwise you'd need 2 lift fans or some kind of gearbox to combine the shaft drives of the 2 engines together (but ask the Navy how that's going.)

    • @JETZcorp
      @JETZcorp ปีที่แล้ว +4

      A single engine plane is, in general, going to be lighter, simpler, and cheaper both to buy and maintain. Bearing in mind, lower cost means you can afford to put more planes in the sky, implying survivability through simply winning the fight. While it's easy to see the redundancy value of twin engines, the truth is most fighters have used twins for performance. There simply is no engine in existence that will satisfy the power demands of an F-15 on it's own. And truthfully, modern engines are so incredibly reliable that failures have become very rare; IIRC there has never been an engine-related loss of a Gripen, for example. So with the F-35, they wanted to get as much airplane as they could with the weight and cost benefits of running a single. The Navy did protest, as did Canada, but in the end they were assimilated.

    • @debbiestimac5175
      @debbiestimac5175 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      When those doctrines were made, requiring twin engines for overwater operations, jets were still not that reliable and why passenger planes were required to have four engines. Once the high bypass fan jets started taking over like with the 777 Dreamliner, regulations were relaxed and why Fat Amy has only one blower.

    Could you possibly let RAZBAM give you another test run with the F-15E and dogfight and/or BVR against an equivalent jet? Or even dogfight or BVR against RAZBAM in their own module so it doesn’t give away too much?

  • @KaldekBoch
    @KaldekBoch ปีที่แล้ว

    I don't know why, but I like the F-16's alert and notification sounds better than other aircraft. Less intrusive? More informative? Not sure, but perhaps I'm also just a massively biased Viper fan.

    In the mid 90s I was the USAFE ACMI program manager and helped set up the first DACT deployment between the German MIG-29s and the F-16s from the 510th at Aviano. I can say that on that deployment the F-16s dominated the MIGs. Close to 10-1.

    So given that he was never going to win the 2 circle fight, what could he have done? Once he recognised that he was losing the rate fight would it have helped if he had reversed his turn and try and established a one circle fight or was it too late by that point?

    • @__-fm5qv
      @__-fm5qv ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I suspect its already too late at that point. I guess you could try and force an overshoot by tightening down, nose countering and jinking. But to say thats difficult is understating it.
