      @@alexandresajus air RB is easy and I excelled in war thunder so much that I went to DCS. I got pretty deadly in the 16 and 15c inPvP so I went to the Viggen and used it as a fighter in a PvP role as well. That thing is super deadly if you know what you're doing. If you maintain your speed it will delete 21's and I've even managed to out fight player 18's at the merge easily which is awesome and unexpected by them which makes them overconfident and gets them killed. If I made more money I would try this as well but props are a lot different than jets although I only liked props in war thunder which isn't nearly as realistic as DCS but at least you can learn basics there. It looks like you had fun and maybe next time I'm in Nevada I'll take a look at this and see if it's in my budget to go once

    In your defense, youre probably used to flying the dcs fa18c with jhmcs on, enabling you to always keep training your eyes on the bandit, while also providing you with your speed, altitude, etc instrument data. Your muscle memory took over and you did what you know. Important to check your upfront instrument panels when you dont have jhmcs 😊 would love to try this myself!! Great job!

    • @alexandresajus
      @alexandresajus  Місяць тому +1

    I think if you were flying more PvP in DCS, you would have done slightly better, but still both the physical and mental of the real fight makes a difference.

    • @alexandresajus
      @alexandresajus  Місяць тому +1

      Yes, I think so as well. I have started doing some 1v1 PvP dogfights with more experienced people in DCS. In hindsight, my understanding of one-circle, two-circle, turn radius, and turn performance was lacking. I wish I had gone into this experience with a better understanding of fight flows.

      Mid fight it was impossible to get a read. I was too focused staying Tally. Even when I looked, I only had a second and my brain was so out of it that I could not use the information. We actually discussed this with my instructor and he said that you’re not supposed to read speed and alt. For him, it’s so second nature that he has a good estimate of both at all times.

      Just like in real training, you check the tapes and justify it in the debrief. When I was assigned to Eagles (F-15C not that MudHen abomination) our pilots had HUD FILM, not tapes. And for a kill, you had to have 12 frames (16mm film) on the target to affirm it was a kill. Shooting someone down in training with a real missile is how video gamers do it...the real pilots train 95% of the time like this for that rare, and small chance that they will see air combat. The fighter pilot's job is not to shoot down every enemy aircraft they have...it's to serve as a deterrence and keep the enemy from even thinking about coming into the airspace.
