    Have you ever considered flying the Do 335 Pfeil and Heinkel Lerche in IL-2 Sturmovik? I know you liked flying the Me 262, I think you would enjoy flying those as well - especially the Lerche, since it is a VTOL design. It's flown in a prone position with a huge glass canopy, I imagine it would be a blast in VR. The design also features air to air rockets. 😁

    Good video, but I have to wonder about something. When I was in the Army forty years ago we watched lightly loaded A-10s exhibit absolutely insane low-speed maneuvers and direction changes, I mean to the point that we joked they had to ne flying saucers in disguise. I don't see this level of maneuverability reflected in DCS. So what happened? What I am wondering is if they didn't subsequently limit the maneuverability because these gyrations were too hard on the airframe and not needed for the mission? I'd welcome people's thoughts about this.

Bro you have eagle eyes to tell what aircraft they are using., insane talent dude. Sorry to piss you off with the long comments bro but I mostly type as I'm watching the video, so you get that. He deserves some love from the peeps because of the aircraft he chose, what a champ.

    - as even a enemy Raptor won't expect you to be sneaking up on them from 70,000 at Mach 3 nearly, with AWACs datalink support ,IRST ready, and that powerful Mig 31 radar, and R -37Ms
    -and everyone else from the F 4 to the Eagle to the Flanker - is in deep trouble
    Actually, for this video ere that might have been a cool fight here- it'd be like a worse dogfighting variant of the strike eagle- the Foxhound vs the A 10. A10 prob manuevers better though

      Not really. The A-10 is a later generation platform, and the F-5 was a cheap export fighter (doing double duty as a trainer in the T-38), not even a front-line fighter for its own generation. It has a speed advantage, but I wouldn't be surprised if even the A-10 has a specific power advantage over it. Given he beat the F-4, beating the F-5 is no surprise; The F-5 was basically built for US allies that couldn't afford the F-4. And given how much of a fight he put up for the F-14/15, beating the F-4 is no surprise either.
