    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.

    The problems that people seem to have forgotten when asking for a matchup!
    1) The A-10 is a Jet so it automatically has a speed and vertical advantage despite not having a modern fighter Thrust to Weight Ratio
    2) The A-10's mass advantage and 30mm Avenger cannon means that even if the P-51 gets a shot off on the Hog, The A-10 can tank it, The P-51 cannot do the same in return.

    When I read the thumb nail I thought for sure you were fighting against the A10 and wondered if you would even get a kill. I watched an A10 demolish an enemy position on a hill in Afghanistan after the Canadian battery had been firing on it. We took incoming and the Canadians went into action and I was standing behind a row off hesco barriers separating us from the battery and you could see the vapor trails and watch the impact on the hill. It was awesome. Then all the sudden the guns stopped and two A10s rolled in and the first took a run with some air to ground missiles. However the second one came in with the 30 and the explosive dust plume was a lot larger than the missiles. It was like the gun was exploding the hill side. Flipping awesome. That gun when fired is so distinct. I started my training at Ft. Leonard Wood Missouri and there was a practice ground close where the A10 would do runs and on FTX's you would here the MAH sound of that gun out in the distance. Those things are so Flippin cool.

    A few thoughts. 1) Though I know it's not modeled, I still expected to see a red coating on the inside of the P-51's plexiglass in that first fight. Brutal. 2) The TF34 is a really solid engine and well optimized for low level flight. It has a lot of get up and go below say 18,000 ft. Or at least it does if it behaves like the civilian CF 34. 3) I bet if the P-51 got on your six and peppered both of your engines with AP .50, you would find yourself in the safest best armored glider around.

    The P-51 honestly is NOT nearly as maneuverable as pop culture has led people to think. The laminar flow wing was designed for speed and range, not maneuvering, and didn't generate as much lift as the wing on the Spitfire, or particularly the F4U (which matched the mustang in speed and acceleration).
    Now once Leatherneck releases their F4U-1D I'd love to see if it fairs better. The Corsair is much more maneuverable than the Mustang, with a significantly higher rate of roll, and a much better wing for maneuvering

    P-47 vs P-51 (at high altitude) would be interesting to see. Also worthy to note that in your P-47 vs A-10 video, the P-47 won 2 of those 4 rounds.

    • @rare_kumiko
      @rare_kumiko Рік тому +1

      Depends on the exact versions, the P-51 should have the advantage up to 25k ft as it's generally the better dogfighter, from there up the Merlin kinda runs out of breath, and the 47s turbo should maintain its power better and give it the advantage.

    Interesting what you said about "making it interesting". I've been wandering a lot about your insane victory rate in videos. Obviously your an awesome pilot but It'd be cool to see you fly against a superior pilot in a dogfight of equally matched aircraft. Would also be cool if you did some more dogfight vids where you fight in both the featured aircraft in different rounds to see what's plane and what's pilot. As always love the video, yours has been the first channel i check when I open YT for ages now. Keep it up bro :)

I have seen some dogfights on other channels between German fighters and the A10 that didn't go so well. Their cannon can do a fair bit more damage with one or just a few hits that the .50s. Anyway a series "A10 vs ???." Or maybe a blind merge series where you don't know which WWII era fighter you will face. Finally, I noticed you were flying without other ordnance. How much of an improvement is that?

    This actually makes a lot of sense to me. First of all the P-51 was the hot ship boom and zoomer for it's time. The A-10 took design cues from the A-1 Skyraider, you can really see it most in the wing profile. A-1 Skyraider was perfect for loiter and flying dump truck missions... but a Skyraider engaged a MiG-17 in 1966 over Vietnam and scored a gun kill. If a MiG-17 can lose to an A-1 Skyraider it's an easy connect for a P-51 outside it's envelope to lose to an A-10.
