    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.

    Gripen prefers to tagteam it with datalinks, sensor fusion and meteor strikes, while the Flanker is like the ogre ninja - it's massive, yet it still manages to sneak up behind you and then you're dead. Bit of a mismatch to put the Gripen in this situation but does demonstrate pretty well just how lethal the Su-30SM is in a knife fight

    @ColeDedhand 24 дні тому +13

    The tactic of flying barely above a stall is perfect in a 1v1 where your opponent is not allowed bvr missiles and not allowed to fire Fox 2s until after the first turn. In the real world where your enemy brings Fox 3s and friends this doesn't work as well.

    • @D00MerJohn
      @D00MerJohn 24 дні тому +4

      Absolutely, in the real world you're going to be shooting a Fox 3 well before the merge. The only time you're going to get in a merge realistically is bouncing someone which is rare and maybe a 4v1 although it's likely you'll get smoked before making the merge.

    • @Asghaad

      just allow gun to be used in the merge - sure it has its own drawbacks but would 100% prevent oponents coming to merge at near stall speeds to abuse theyr min turning radius in supermaneuverability "mode"
      also would kinda force them to not to come directly nose to nose AND would be far more ralistic because in real fight noone will be adhering to some "gentlemanly agreement" to not to shoot in a direct headon. Sure its 50/50, you dont like it hten dont merge in a way that makes you go nose to nose with the oponent

    That gun kill chase by the Flanker reminded me of the chase scene from Avatar, when Jake Sully and his Ikran is being chased by the huge Toruk. Also why the archer seems to miss the most among all the missiles

    I think short-range missiles are getting so advanced & lethal that short-range dogfights will become a thing of the past. The highly maneuverable Flanker will have little advantage when the next generation of missiles will likely not even need to be pointing in the general direction of their target when launched.

  • @michelchaman6495
    @michelchaman6495 22 дні тому

    idk if this works but to avoid ejecting inverted in that situation try jamming the rudder in on the side u have a wing and use the stick to "roll in that same direction" it should reduce lift on ur functional wing and hopefully allow u to roll out of the inversion. Maybe in theory this works if u still have control.

  • @christopherreed4723

    The modern dogfight with high off-bore missiles strikes me as very similar in concept to historic fencing with a longsword and no armor, what the German treatises called "bloßfechten" (literally, bare fencing, as in naked). Any opening, no matter how small, risks taking an incapacitating hit. Observe, maneuver, guard, and commit to that one strike when you have an opening.
    Afaik, the same dynamic applied to Japanese swordsmanship when no armor was worn.
    (In fact, taking that parallel to its extreme, a modern fighter jet could be compared to a Japanese warrior, unarmored, carrying a bow and sword. You *want* to be doing the balance of your work with the bow, the sword is a secondary, contingency weapon.)
