    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.

    • @jojyrocks
      @jojyrocks 2 роки тому +16

      Technology is more applicable in BVR ranges, that is where Rafale advantage is...up close and personal, it depends more on pilot skill.
      Again on BVR, it all depends on who has the best radar tech, missile tech, comms tech etc...So J-10 vs Rafale is suspect as we really do not know what the latest J-10 model is like and China also has AWACS etc.
      The real fight is to be decided in close combat, that is where pilot skill is truly measured and dogfights are unlikely in these modern times, it is all BVR and BVR deception tactics, Individual pilot skill becomes less here.

      They are as durable as any other western engines. The F-14, MIG-29 and SU-27 are the only fighters with engines that are really widely separated. That makes a big difference when it comes to surviving engine damage.

    Hello,
    I am a newbie on DCS flying the Hornet and find the flying experience to be really enjoyable with pretty graphics.
    However I have a lot of trouble keeping up with the bandits in BFM using guns (single human player only). I cannot even nearly turn with them and lose speed faster than them. I can maintain better speed turning with less AOA but then the bandits turn inside me and beat me up.
    Is there some secret to saving energy and still have a decent chance manoeuvring with the bandits?
    Thanks.

    @Junker_1 2 роки тому +4

    I find you have to start doing these fights at higher altitudes. Because to me, it seems like you are always doing the same tactic. Because you start lower you are already giving the other pilot less opportunity to kill you. Because you drag him to the deck as soon as possible to just outrate him. Basically, you start with an advantage. It is time to even the chances and start way higher for these one to one fights.

    I can't help it, but I think the F16 is overpowered in DCS especially compared to the European 4+ Gen fighters like the Rafale or the Typhoon. I would like to see how these aircraft compare if you flew them against the viper. I do not play DCS, my assumption is based on an interviews of a real RAF fighter pilot who flew both, the F16 and the Typhoon. He described the Typhoon as "a level above the F16" Check out "Aircrew Interview fighting in the Typhoon with Paul Godfrey" the 5:24 part.
