@@snowi9585 You can use jump cuts to reduce the downtime between cool moments and increase the pace and cool factor.

Fun Fact: The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't. In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was. The missile guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.
I cannot really argue with that. He definitely knows how to tickle that temperamental bird. If any fighter could have benefited from fly-by-wire, it was the Tomcat.
The most unrealistic part isn't the low rate of fire on the guns, nor the fact the Tomcat's 20mm and SU-57's 30mm rounds are bouncing off each other, or even the totally ambiguous enemy nation which just randomly owns 4 SU-57 and has a landscape akin to New England. Rather, its the idea that a group of jets would engage in some War Thunder-esque furball all within a mile of each other.
@@crocidile90 It could be Iran but it could also be a fictional American insurgency with Russian backing or take place in a totally fictional world because the flora and terrain look like New England and the Tomcats and SU-57 don't show any signs of being part of the IRIAF.
As a person who knows nothing about aircraft, I find this scene is so cool to watch, and I'm happy with it. I don't need those knowledge anyway, so thank you.
Yep. After all iirc there's only 7 operational Su-57s in the world... And I'm pretty sure that number was from before the Ukraine invasion. So chances are that number has only gone down.
fun fact splitting the throttle is possible on the f14 and could in theory do this trick but to do it without immediately stalling the jet and starting a flat spin is so close to impossible you might as well not try
its not like he pulls one engine's power down to 0, its simply 1 engine at 100% and the other on AB and only done for a few seconds. most of the rolling in the F-14 is done with the rudder and differential elevator movement because the ailerons are unavailable when the wings are not extended so the throttle split allows to increase the effectiveness of the rudder at the start of the turn.
Never noticed how at 0:52 the nose of the SU-57 actually interferes with the smoke trail of the missile. You can see it disperse just there. Great detail.
The sheer ability of a fifth generation airframe is absurd. These craft are no longer limited by their machinery, but by the physical limitations of their pilot's body.

i love how the su pilot has no problem doing some crazy manoeuvre but when the f14 flies out of the valley he just stays there and lets them get behind him
I am not a pilot, but the areal maneuver by the bandit is a real maneuver, I've heard. But it is expensive in terms of fuel. He would have to burn some serious fuel to catch up to our heroes who would be still moving on at Mach something. So a shorter movie as our heroes would then be over international waters.

@@ranimdudeThe shots of them in the cockpits are real, but they’re in the back because actual military pilots are piloting aircraft. They just cut it to make it look like Tom Cruise or Rooster are the ones flying. As they wanted real life film instead of cgi. It’s part of the reason they’re using F-18s for the movie and this stealth mission instead of F-35s. As the 35 is only a single seater while the 18 is a dual seater.
Also the actors were controlling the cameras on top of being the actors in the back/"front" seats. It was pretty crazy how far they went to try and make this look real
@@infinite683 And, while I know this is a month old, and it's kinda obvious, but Single seater variants of the F-18 exist now, which while they used double seaters for the shots in the cockpits, plot wise and outside the cockpits, they are using single seaters. Again, it's just to help sell a lie, but it's amazing how far they go with nice camera angles, edits, and combining both footage of double seaters and single seaters (real or CGI'd up) to make us believe the actors are flying the planes, even when they're not. I even love the knowledge that they used a real F-14 from a museum for the ground and final carrier scenes, but CGI'd up an F-18 to look like the Tomcat for when they were "in the air" and "in the cockpit". Again, amazing what they did to help sell a lie all for us to believe and enjoy the movie, realistic or not.
According to this movie, a Su-57's targeting system (it appears they both use IR missiles so radar isn't a factor) is unable to break out a plane from the ground while the 40 year old Tomcat's can.
For anyone who still calls the Kvochure bell maneuver a cobra... well this comment will differentiate it The Cobra is to Pull up HARD for for about a second. Pitch down again for about a half second. Increase the throttle to 100% The Kvochur Bell is to Pull up, stall and add left or right rudders hard to be able to do the spin pitching your nose back down and send full throttle again in conclusion: The Kvochur is just similar to the cobra but with extra steps in it
Aye that would be nice. Think hartmann should get his own movie. Especialy now that russia is hated by 60% of the worlds population, since hartmann scored most of his kills over the soviet union.

i love how the su pilot has no problem doing some crazy manoeuvre but when the f14 flies out of the valley he just stays there and lets them get behind him
I am not a pilot, but the areal maneuver by the bandit is a real maneuver, I've heard. But it is expensive in terms of fuel. He would have to burn some serious fuel to catch up to our heroes who would be still moving on at Mach something. So a shorter movie as our heroes would then be over international waters.
Freebird fits on any continuous action scene
i cant believe they actually blew up the jets with the pilots in them
well they didnt
@@Tripintrios no its real, I was one of the engines
@@FriedNoodlee honored to meet you
0:52 just gave me goosebump bro
Probably my favorite scene in the whole movie I just love how two 5th generation fighters with advanced technology get destroyed by a 1970s era tomcat
least biased and unrealistic american movie
@@JimmySaulGoodmanMcGill1960 lol
Fun fact: all almost every time they’re flying other than when they dogfight the flying is real
Man I have been hearting all these comments
Nice work and take a break after all the hearting
you forgot to heart yak 141 freestyle's reply to cookie craze's comment
This man has Jesus's 1% soul👾
must be hard
@@Toasty8989 nah it’s not
Film seems pretty realistic to me... I mean we go from the 80's of flipping off MiG 28's, banging instructors, playing volleyball, buzzing towers, saving the effin day to this one. His jet exploding, losing his job, gaining a new one. Getting thrown outta bars.... Losing new job, gaining it back, exploding jet again, new "old" jet for some nostalgia to almost exploding again. Went from thrive to survive.
This manuever0:38 is called loaded barrel btw
Did you just make that up?
@@2shae475 it is real manuever 😆😆
DO A BARREL ROLL!
And also this loaded roll 0:54
@@migznoob no its a cobra with yaw
I gotta wonder. How did they even film the F-14 sections?
I know a lot of it is CGI
@@mono9702 in the og top gun the usaf and army allowed them to use fighters without using them to engage other fighters, the missiles and bullets i'm pretty sure are cgi, but the planes are not
From what i heard, it's an f-18 that they turned into an f-14 via cgi
well the bullets and missiles are cgi but the planes aren’t and the US military have replicas of the F-14 as an artifact and it’s possible that they asked the military to use one of them and get it working before the filming since it was part of the script and all of this might be a theory we arent all sure yet
@@redacted229 Yes, of course, the weaponry would be cgi but the actually jets themselves would be a partial mix. Like how the studio most definitely would not have an actual Sughoi 57
"do some crazy pilot sh*t mav!"
This is like the first time I saw it again---- "She's never done that before. 😉"
0:10 The moment we're realize when we're spotted a cop car
what
Godzilla had a stroke reading this and died
Fun fact: Guitar solo lasts as long as movie itself...
Would have been infinitely better if you had the guitar solo start as soon as the cannon started firing.
Agreed!
What me and the boys listen to while playing War Thunder:
You aint fucking lie! This shit goes hard! Thank you!
It's even more funny when you realize Tom Cruise is in the backseat with the weapon systems instead of the flight stick
What?
@@ranimdudeThe shots of them in the cockpits are real, but they’re in the back because actual military pilots are piloting aircraft. They just cut it to make it look like Tom Cruise or Rooster are the ones flying. As they wanted real life film instead of cgi.
It’s part of the reason they’re using F-18s for the movie and this stealth mission instead of F-35s. As the 35 is only a single seater while the 18 is a dual seater.
@@infinite683 oh that makes sense now I guess
Also the actors were controlling the cameras on top of being the actors in the back/"front" seats. It was pretty crazy how far they went to try and make this look real
@@infinite683 And, while I know this is a month old, and it's kinda obvious, but Single seater variants of the F-18 exist now, which while they used double seaters for the shots in the cockpits, plot wise and outside the cockpits, they are using single seaters.
Again, it's just to help sell a lie, but it's amazing how far they go with nice camera angles, edits, and combining both footage of double seaters and single seaters (real or CGI'd up) to make us believe the actors are flying the planes, even when they're not.
I even love the knowledge that they used a real F-14 from a museum for the ground and final carrier scenes, but CGI'd up an F-18 to look like the Tomcat for when they were "in the air" and "in the cockpit". Again, amazing what they did to help sell a lie all for us to believe and enjoy the movie, realistic or not.
I don't care if the footage was unrealistic
Best aircraft fighting scene I've ever seen in my life
I hope the pilot who survived that battle will be revealed in Top Gun 3
The fact that the Free Bird solo sounds like the Ace Combat 2 soundtrack is just a happy coincidence
Most chill gta online server
Nobody: a normal mision in War Thunder.
people complaining about the "realism" of this scene when it's some of the greatest cinema I've ever seen on the big screen
According to this movie, a Su-57's targeting system (it appears they both use IR missiles so radar isn't a factor) is unable to break out a plane from the ground while the 40 year old Tomcat's can.
I’m glad the su pilot survived, what a chad
The fact that one jet is really him flying it
0:52 the part of the song fits perfectly with this scene
I am here in order for you to eat a rubric cube
I am here as per the algorithms request.
This Ace Combat movie was pretty damn good.
Only thing missing was the tunnel run.
But the final sequence was similar to Ace Combat Zero's last 2 missions so I forgive that.
kept replaying this cause it’s absolutely incredible, I’m so shook 0:54
For anyone who still calls the Kvochure bell maneuver a cobra... well this comment will differentiate it
The Cobra is to
Pull up HARD for for about a second. Pitch down again for about a half second. Increase the throttle to 100%
The Kvochur Bell is to
Pull up, stall and add left or right rudders hard to be able to do the spin pitching your nose back down and send full throttle again
in conclusion: The Kvochur is just similar to the cobra but with extra steps in it
Now just imagine Erich Hartmann in a modern-day jet...
Aye that would be nice. Think hartmann should get his own movie. Especialy now that russia is hated by 60% of the worlds population, since hartmann scored most of his kills over the soviet union.
@@leander2843 would be awesome.........
I want to see hans joachim marsellie in a jet
@@ThatWelshGuy. Yellow 13, Ace Combat
@@leander2843 I'm with you on this one. I'm surprised that they have a movie about Castle Itter but not one about Hartmann
1:41 hit hard
I hate AIM-54s so much it's unreal
War thunder?
@@karolbonner6937 Yeah
skill issue.
@Maus cope, it ain't hard to hit a notch
The AIM 54 is actually an excellent missile, the U.S Retired it early because they didn't use it much, and didn't use it well, but Iranian Pilots have used it to great success
I think mav was actually listening to this while flying 💀
"You lost two wingmen and 3 Felons to a WHAT?!"
Seems like everyone is an expert on how fighter jets work
Don't need to be an expert in military avionics to tell you jets don't work like fuckin' that.
@@kalamari3288 yeah, the moment I saw the jet at the start making a sharp turn(relative to how much it really would’ve been theoretically able to) at Mach 10, my expectations for realism were shattered😅
@@Dovahkiin914Mach 10?
@@themolasser9110 that’s the speed the Dark Star(I believe it was called), was going.
For reference, the SR-71 blackbird, which has a maximum speed of Mach 3.3, take about 4 minutes to make a full 180° turn at Mach 3.2 and an altitude of 80,000 feet. I would share my source for that, but UA-cam doesn’t allow links. Can’t say for certain if it’s trustworthy or not.
@@Dovahkiin914 my bad, I thought you were talking about this scene
Idea: put free bird and the ship drifting scene from battleship together.
Rare video footage of our parent's going to school
"Commander, I will fight with that F-14, only if you give me a favor"
"What do you need?"
"A free bird riff sir"
love how rooster is just shitting himself through this whole thing, yet much like his father, doing his job perfectly
The first kill is believable, as long as the pilot wasn't expecting any attack... which is unlikely since their base was just attacked.
Yes but they were using a plane suposed to be friendly.
Anyone who plays bf4, get in an AJ little bird, play this song, and you’ll get a minimum of 60 kills with that helicopter, straight up dodging rockets and diving under bridges kinda gameplay.
I listened to this while playing WT, the map had a capture point under a bridge, i got the stuka with 3, 500kg bombs, flied under it, throw 2 of them then went away, 4x kill
thank you for making the greatest youtube video known to mankind
saying "Free bird fits perfectly with [insert cool chase scene here]" is like saying the Earth is round. and I love it.
0:50 just imagine seeing that in the sky
People saying that the other plane’s targeting system being confused by the ground is unrealistic, but tbh a Russian plane having avionics that are old/as (un)sophisticated as the F-14’s is probably the most credible part of the whole sequence
bro really said "hold my vodka" 💀
Bro dogged a guided a missile 💀
This should have been the song in this scene
Кукуруз еще забыл Сухому с вертухи прописать! 🤣
imagine if they actually used that in the movie.
If this movie came back out in theaters, I would go see it again. It was that good.
On of the best songs ever made. I love how they used it in kingsman
1:18 When did they let a stormtrooper fly a Su-57
