    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.

Anycase, Appreciate your dedication and hard work...and like I posted last week...although Ive been a pilot for 30yrs (GA but with several certifications and checked to fly...or was prior to a heart attack) ... really helped and helps when you explain some of the nuances with radars...RWR...different sounds, etc...all is helpful and pointing these things out in "real-time" scenarios is much more helpful than someone hastily scanning from left to right informing what things are...unless see them in action when creators attempt & intend to help with such tutorials...at least for me...aren't that helpful...I'm referring to RADARS, MISSILES, ID'ing, COMMS, etc...

    • @smittywjmj
      @smittywjmj Рік тому

      The machinery literally gets stuck. Greater flap extension wasn't designed for maneuvering at speed, and although the flaps can withstand it, it'll need maintenance once it's back on wheels. Like over-G'ing your plane, yes it'll almost certainly exceed the limit in the manual, but you're going to break things in the process.

    Great video, it is very awesome to get to see a Cobra used effectively in combat.
    How about trying giving us a example of a Immelmann used effectively in a WW2 Bird
    The Cobra is a flight maneuver, and like any flight maneuver they have a time and place, Dogfighting is very circumstantial, why it’s often referred to as ‘Aircraft Martial Arts’.

    • @Pfandflasche
      @Pfandflasche Рік тому +1

      I guess an immelmann-maneuver performed as original intended would be just a half-loop in anything then a Fokker E3. A hammerhead or stall turn would put you at a huge disadvantage in a ww2 bird. You are practically standing still in the air.
