    Hey LongShot, thanks for the very educational video. Your explanation of the rolling scissors and taking the time to draw the little arrows describing the fights was a nice touch. Channel getting better every upload. Keep it up.

    You describing the rolling scissors and one circle counter made some sense as I tried to picture it, and then you actually illustrated it. That's when it clicked! Great video, yo

      Indeed, I've never been able to remember "one circle/two circle do see do"... That, and lift vector both need graphics (probably as thinner lines, though)

      I dont know why, but this simple style made understanding the circle fights and the lift vector click in my mind so much better than a lot of explanations I've watched. Good job 👏🏻

    Good stuff LS!!!!! The recovery from accidentally putting yourself in a bad position was most excellent! Situational awareness, is so key in a dog fight, you have to know exactly when you start to loose, or you're dead. Again, good stuff!

    I have always been a big fan of your videos and I found this video, brilliant. The ding and then the arrows and explanations on what was going on, genius! Hate to say this, but I had the one circle and two circle fights mixed up. As always I click for the action and stay for the narration, but now the explanations also. Brilliant video, thank you.

    Great videos. Can we see some stationary third person camera views? It would be great to see how the jets dogfight in relation to one another from the ground/mid-air/above. For example, when you state that the opponent is in a low energy state, it's hard for me to see that from your point of view. GS tacview is nice, but it might be interesting to see the action as it happens. Thanks again for the great vids. I'm not a DCS player, but I'm a big fan of yours and GS videos.

    @fullbandjamming5127 3 роки тому

    It's a good fight and also a good tutorial,but i have a question that i adjust my thrust to stay behind my opponent when i'm in the rolling scissor witn him,he may have more speed and higher thrust-weight ratio engine than me and if he climb at this time i may not be able to follow with him or i may stall beneath him and be out of the gun range,what i should do or i misunderstand about the question

    • @LongShotChannel
      @LongShotChannel  3 роки тому +1

      If he is faster, he will most likely be infront of you. In a rolling scissors, you both slow, and to gain speed, well, you need to gain it, what means, allmost level flight (to recover). If he will do that, he should be dead. You going to have a good few moments to take him down
