Ralfi's Alley- Never give up!

- This is an excellent example of never giving up!
No matter how bad the situation looks, no matter how bleak your life may be, FIGHT IT OUT! DON'T GIVE UP!
In the very first engagement, I thought I heard an afterburner pass me by, I check my 6 and there is a Sukhoi bastard right there. I immediately dive below the peaks and try to turn fight (which the Russian jets will always win) and I manage to escape about 3 missile shots if not more.
What I didn't see was that right as it seemed that all hope was lost, in front of me was a friendly, who fired on my pursuer and killed him for me. I didn't know this till I reviewed the tapes.
In the second engagement a lot went wrong.
I was chasing a fighter that I saw in the mountains in front of me, but I get engaged by a fighter from my right.
I drive both his missiles into the ground and proceed to go after him.
Fired off two FOX 2's and I can't exactly figure out if he was tail on or if he froze on the server (Which is more likely), because the next thing I know, I'm getting gunned down from my direct 6. I check 6 and there is nothing there, then all of the sudden a Sukhoi basically materializes out of thin air.
Great...
Well my tail is shredded, so I have about 1/4th of my turn ability available to me. I'm pretty much dead. But FIGHT IT OUT!
At some point I'm able to make him overshoot me, but with the lack of turning capabilities due to my damage, I can't turn in fast enough. He gets behind me again, and just before I think all is lost, a friendly missile splashes him out of the sky.
Thank you Mr. Axel, you saved my ass.
Not that it mattered much, as several new fighters appeared to the right and completely demolished me.
But still, that was tight.

PS: I used the HUD TAPE sounds for the breathing sound effects from the video on youtube titled "F-16 dodging 6 Iraqi SAM launches on Jan 19 1991"
Oh man, the breathing added a whole new level of intensity. I wish the game would have that built in (kind of like the high-G breathing), it would make dogfights like this incredible.
There is. It's just not as loud and a bit more annoying.
Dcs already had oculus riff support =D
Damned autocorrect, I meant tot say 'has' and 'rift'.
STALKERBooka Exactly, I was using my tablet. Otherwise I would have used my PC =)
"That was some of the best flying I've seen yet, right until the part when you got killed" . Breathing was spot on. Flying was Jedi style. Hat down. This is inspiring indeed.
I keep watching this over and over again but it never gets less intense.
The friendly misses coming out of nowhere to splash the enemy was badass. Too bad their is so little servers that do this kind of stuff.
In certain parameters at Rmax, you can loft the AIM-120 just past the 60nm mark. We did the math on this, and scat and line have a report they will be giving to ED to get the missile fixed. Currently the 27-ER out performs what it should in real life in the game and it GROSSLY out performs the AIM-120 in game as well. Things have not gone well on their side...
Never give up. Never surrender. See your battle through to the end...until it's either you, or your opponent left standing.
Still one of your best fights ever. Always coming back to this for some inspiration :)
That was the most intense thing I've watched in quite some time... freakin' bravo.
I hope this video never gets removed. I keep coming back to it
Same. To this day.
God man, this is so effectively edited that even a person who didn't know anything about flightsims would find it aesthetically enjoyable.
Wow... This is legit the best video you've ever made, bro. Keep up the amazing work!
I was playing on this server yesterday as this happened and you sounded so excited about it in the chat, and now I see why. That was an amazing video dude :D
(I was the one complaining about CAP)
-Brumcar
Damn for just watching a video game being played it sure get the heart pumping
That was so amazing, please make more videos like that. This video demonstrates my worst nightmare.
I almost matched my breathing to this video. great job!
God damn. Brilliant flying there, Ralfi.
WTF this was intense man, it's killing me just to watch this!......errrr can't stop watching, though - next video!
ralfi this has to be one of the sickest vids u have made! It was so intense i almost sweat =P keep up the vids man
Holy shit that was intense! One of the best videos so far!
LOVE the sound effects here, also nice flying! but maybe at certian points you should have gone vertical? may have helped you with the turns but idk the sam in the area...
nitaihat12 Yes, you go vertical at stall speed. See how that works out for you bud.
i ment for earlier, also i had no idea what ur speed was, i'm used to ww2 planes that are much slower so it seemd fine to me, i wasn't holding the stick...
nitaihat12 The short answer is no. BFM error. Bad idea.
ik, once you toled me ik, i'm looking to learn so i asked... not critecizing or anything like that...
I love the view of the missiles coming up behind at 4:00 "You are already dead"
Nicely done. That one was very close. Also a great Salute to the opponent.
That was AMAZING, been in the same situation before not an Ideal situation for an Eagle by any measure.
No kidding - I was thinking, "come on... come on.... NOooo!" Very nice video, indeed.
На протяжении всего видео был в постоянном напряге, это было эпично. EPIC!!!
That was INTENSE!!!! Can we see MORE like this???
The base Su 27 does not have Thrust Vectoring, later Su 27 variants like the Su-30MKI, 35, and 37 do. That's obviously not a complete list but they came out quite a bit after the base model.
that was intense...I can't wait to get in the cockpit
That was very impressive. very, very impressive.
It is, but I don't think they are modelled in this sim, however since the Russians were the one who made this game, they made the Russian aircraft essentially superior, so they can pretty much outmaneuver the F-15. It is possible for the F-15 to fight it out with a Sukhoi but you would need to have a few prerequisites for that to be possible, none of which I had in any of these situations. I'm not saying the Eagle is bad at dogfighting at all though. I just suck haha.
Agreed, excellent choice.
If I had a HUD and elevators still working I'm sure I would have had him right there. Can't believe I forced that overshoot on him, not that it helped in the long run but still...
That was shit hot flying there Ralfi. Good job on spotting those bandits.
Excellent choice of music.
i think its in the new patch .... not sure ... i was reading about it on /r/hoggit.
awesome vid Ralfi .. i started with the A10C a month ago and just got FC3 and i have to say the F15 is A LOT of fun to fly ... to bad it isnt as detailed as the A10C.
Keep up the awesome vids !!
And that was Ralfi's All about :)
Fighting till the end :)
Great Videos i like it.
The breathing sound is from BMS I think, sounds exactly the same to me. Ralfi has also edited in some sounds from various videos of cockpit footage around youtube, the most notable being the F-16 Flight in Iraq (Stroke 4) being shot at by a bunch of SAMs
Fucking epic soundscape. Well produced! Please remake this in 1080p, please please please!
"No matter how bad it looks, you gotta just trim it out."
I suppose this is one of those situations where the lines between a true simulation and a game are a bit blur'd.Do you think they will ever balance it out a bit? I mean in my opinion the Sukhoi's have quite a few annoying advantages over the f-15 in DCS.
No, just the original Lock On:Modern Combat.
Holy shit dude, where was your wingman?, good fucking pick on Bear McCreary
I was having a look at the DCS website and is it true that to use Flaming Cliffs 3 you have to own 2 and 1?
them maneuvers over the mountain dude
Awesome dude! I feel thes stress...
IRL it's more like 50 miles, in this sim right now it's fucked up. ED don't know what they are doing with the missile performance data.
AMAZING!
I loved it!
Masterpiece!
I never liked the R-27 in general, in real life too, but i just love the R-77 with those potato mashers! Is its model inaccurate too?
I hope your data will bring some balance back, then. I'm off flying the reflector sight flying tractor till then.
That was intense! Did you do the voiceovers yourself? Throw in some flyby-shots and some facial-views and that wouldve been a full on movie-scene!
The best thing about this post was the grammar. Impeccable =D
Seriously.. That was intense. Thank you for the vid. P.S. is that heavy G breathing Addon available for download again for FC3? Please answer. I'm waiting for the addon for a long time.
Holy shit that was better than any movie.
Still watching.
Well that was pretty epic!!!
Awesome!
So good!
That's likely because very current games simulate the complexities involved. So they're basing such stuff on the often viciously simplified 'arcadey' flight games. The problem is if you try to simplify you end up with something that is pretty boring, but if you keep the full complexity it's intimidating to casual players. It's a big reason I think why even compared to "harder" WWII flight sims modern air combat games remain so niche, or at just arcade to the point of skillessness (ace combat).
you have any DCS products there Jester? If you want, I can teach you.
Excellent. Greetings from Algeria.
Ralfidude I would love to fly with you guys sometime. I keep an eye on your videos and I like your professionalism and fun at the same time. I need no teaching lol I am a private pilot although renting a Cessna is getting pricier each passing year lol. So I use these sims to keep me sharp so to speak. I can't run A-10 or FC3 right now due to hardware incompatibility but I run on FC2 and DCS black shark... not 2.0 if you fly FC2 still I wouldn't mind flying with you guys.
That was beautiful!
I wish I could play this game. that was amazing.
ralfi!!! where did you get the pilot breathing mode!!! ore did you just added in the vid!? Nice video liky liky liky
Whoua.... ! Epic !
Ralfi - I approve of the BSG music. :)
Impressive flying
I wish I could like this video again.
The "how do you make the missile engagements interesting, but not so complex it scares off normal players" is something I've not really seen a game manage. There's also the underlying issue that players in general have love hate feelings about anything that tracks automatically. Dev too likely as it can indeed be hard to balance. If it works to well it's intensely annoying and takes no skill to use, but if it barely functions or is too easy to evade it's useless. It's a hard nut to crack.
What were you doing so low? Don't Eagles do best at medium to high altitudes?
holy shit. THAT was intense
All I can think of is "RUDDER!!!" as you're trying to turn with the elevators. Were they shredded too?
Aaaaand i'm still her watching this. A time where you didn't do only boring Air to ground ;)
That was awesome ralfi
Very nice.
thanks, herp derp.
great video
Where'd you get the breathing audio from out of curiosity?
nope, read description.
So intense !!!
hey what is the soundtrack name? it's so cool ^^
I understand that the description button is hard to press... ;)
Silhouette was definitely a Su-27
that was epically awesome
Unlikely, since the SU-47 isn't in production. It was cancelled, likely in deference to the PAK-FA.
Any Teamspeak server you join to ?
I could have sworn the Su-27 was capable of Thrust Vectoring.
Yeaaaaaah !
So how did that Flanker get whacked at 4:01 there? Looks like he got nailed by a SAM? Anyway, exciting stuff. You couldn't have time that better if you tried.
cool video!
you should read the patch notes to DCS 1.2.6 ;)
Hey ralfi can u post ur track ir profile for dcs a-10c I just can't find one I like and am to lazy to attempt to make one XD or just pm me the link if u post it it would be very much appreciated
Altitude in the beginning was master caution lol
no matter how bad the plane is going through the tress, no matter how the plane gets damage, fight it out! Don't give up !
Hey ralfi, On which servers do you guys fly? Whenever I play ( I live in EU) the servers are either: 1-just about empty, 2-Only flying with A-10 KA50 etc, 3-laggy as hell (ping 250 and higher) or if I finally find one that is not empty and is running with FC3 I just see people moving mud and flying in formation.
Air-Ground can be fun too but the main reason for flying FC3 is Air-Air combat.
Do you know any good servers?
And on a side note: That was a very impressive piece of flying in there. You managed to stay alive against a more manoeuvrable opponent for so long in close quarters. Very well done!
I have this exact problem, it sucks!
private servers, more than likely with and against guys in his squadren.
random servers. Whatever looks good and new.
ralfidude +Justin Angers Thanks for the replies guys. Looks like I would have to find a squadron to find interresting fights.
ah, i see u hav the audio from that f16 pilot dodging sam's in iraq....good match :)
My sentiments exactly. ;)
ua-cam.com/video/2uh4yMAx2UA/v-deo.htmlm12s
That was brutal but good job.
"F-16 dodging 6 Iraqi SAM launches on Jan 19 1991" that pilot had balls of steel
holy shit that was badass!
Thansk for the answer. Hoped that the heavy G breathing addon was ported from FC2 to FC3. :(
If anybody that reads this can do that... Please do :)
actually, it would be awsome to see ralfidude flying some CAS for you guys. :)
