    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.

      got a scenario you could try if you got someone to help you build, is a pilot wanting to defect to allied landing zone, you are to escort him in, all other bogeys will be hostile. you must make visual confirmation of the defector before you can go hot on the bandits. you choose your aircraft, the others will be all same aircraft but with something like a tail number to denote the defector. could be cool to have you do a spoof on the guy who brought in the mig in 1976.

      Thanks very much, in times when you’re struggling to learn the a10 keep going, and remember we all struggled at first and it was hard for everyone. I recommend dividing tasks and doing them over and over again until you learn it fully. For example today I’m going to learn the gun. And then do gun runs all day until you master it. Then say ok now I will learn mavericks and then do that until you master it. So learn 1 task at a time. At least that’s what worked for me. Thanks again for your support and I wish you the best in learning your a10, she’s a great bird.

    I find it interesting that the stealth of the SU-57 in DCS still seems a bit over rated. Sukhoi claims having an RCS between 0.1m^2 to 1m^2 (-10 to 1 dBsm) which is basically not even as stealthy as the F-117 (-25 dBsm). The F-22 and F-35 have a -40 dBsm or lesser. These are numbers based on all unclassified documents.
    To put that into perspective the S400 with it's 91N6E radar has a detection range of 390 km against a 4 m^2 target. This means it detects an F-15 (13 m^2) from 523 km, an F-18E Super Hornet (~1 m^2) from 275 km, the Su-57 (assuming 0.1 m^2) from 155 km, and the F-35 (0.0015 m^2)/F-22 (0.0001-0.0002 m^2) (-40 dBsm and lesser) from 27 km.
    The AWACS has better radar than an S-400 and should be detecting it at least at those ranges or even better. Even the F-15's radar should've been detecting it at 2/3 those distances. In reality it's RCS characteristics are the same or a little better than an F-18 yet no plane in DCS can detect it even at 100 km.

They also haven't seen nor know the compound for the RAM coating. That's without adding the super tight tolerances of the top-secret CNC machine the US uses for the F35 which doesn't even need RAM coating on the leading or connecting edges (the tolerances are so tight they are seamless). Of course, they can't fathom this because Russia doesn't have the tech nor the machines to produce them the same way Skunk Works, etc. can. Compare that to the SU-57 which is all done by hand, which is more artisinal, but they can't be as precise as machines.

    All of these SU 57 videos and the hype surrounding the SU 57 is undeniably fun and I personally enjoy it. However, Russia made less than 20 SU 57’s and of those 20 even less are actually operational so in reality the Felon is basically a non factor.

    Always thought that the AWACS should have offensive capability. Yeah, they’re a giant neon sign in the sky, but they also have much better means (more powerful radar/detection equipment), so the only thing needed is development of slightly longer range platform than the bandit your fighting against.

    I guess I have to wonder about the potential for a stealth AWACS plan, given the number of people in that plan and its apparent survivability. However, I do not know if running such a large radar defeats your stealth. An even bigger question is if DCS really captures the decoys and other counter measures that an AWACs can deploy.
