@@RequiemsACTL I disagree. Personally I can't stand all those hyper active cringe worthy youtube hosts who start every video with HELLOOOOO THERE GUYSSSSSS AANNNNNNNNNND WELCOME TO BLAH BLAH BLAH.......... I love you no BS simple calm style
such fascinating thing that i've watched pratcically no air combat tutorials beforehand but always when i decide to watch a clip i realize the move i'm watching is something i already naturally do.
This is basically a Chandelle maneuver. I just thought it was some maneuver that private pilots had to learn, I did not understand the historical context of the Chandelle maneuver until now. That is so cool!
A lead turn isn't quite defined as a chandelle as the chandelle purely involves an exchange of airspeed for altitude while turning 180 degrees. A lead turn will not always make that exchange.
Very true :-) I feel like in the first BFM lessons it was heavily conceptual to provide a solid foundation of understanding, but moving forward with this lesson and ones to come we are going to be building on what you've learned so far even more!
+RequiemBoS *The climbing oblique turn can be useful for the energy fighter* to gain angles and shave off airspeed at the pass, but watch out for the bogey doing likewise. Nose to nose in the vertical is a lead turn with little to no turn room. Suggestion for a future HOWTO: Deflection Shooting - USN Illuminated Sight Mk 8 Mod 2.
I have plans to do a deflection shooting video on the US sight in the sim which is the N-3A, but if we get some USN aircraft that use the Mk8 I'll make a video on that too.
Question: Min 2:57 you say Lead turn without TR is non raccommended when faster or have worse turn performance. Min 4:40 you suggest to counter someone with a better turn performance by take away the TR... actually, doing a lead turn without TR. Although I undestand the concept (you actually begin the turn earlier to compensate the bigger radius) this contraddiction confuses me
i tryed to bleed speed off in my car instead of using brakes by moving steering wheel back an forth.. people look at me like am crzy.... i thiink the brakes work better..
What software are you using to animate or illustrate the flight path review? Is this a feature inside of IL-2 or a sideloaded/background program? The software I'm referring to is the one in the thumbnail for this video.
Yeah...they actually do and more often than you think :-) I use lead turns a LOT and not just against enemies flying in a straight line. People would rather try and go for more difficult high aspect shot instead of performing a lead turn and gaining the advantage to create an easier shot later. It's one of the more under-utilised maneuvers because of this.
Extremely useful, you really do deserve more subscribers
Thanks Wilbo! I don't think I have a crazy enough personality to have a lot of subscribers on UA-cam LOL
Super agreed
True! 2,5 years later, I am studying this stuff for my F16 in DCS... foundamentals are always great!

Yep! It's all about seeing a problem presented to you and you solve it without thinking about it. Being able to put names to it is just a bonus :-)

@@RequiemsACTL Ahh, I see...Thanks for the additional info. 👍🛩
Awesome lessons for beginners like me! You definitely deserve more subs
Cheers FX, appreciate that you're enjoying them!
Yet another simple but easily overlooked example of advantageous behaviour!! Thanks R.

Amazing content. Thanks for making this.
One of your best so far!
Thanks Peregrine! :-)
Thanks you are the best! This is really helpful! :)
No problem 😊
now i can dominate heroes and generals

Very useful
Nice video!
I wish I'd found this channel some 12 years ago. I wouldn't have to learn all this stuff by trial and error...
I'm glad you found it now Shade, better late than never!
excellent thank you very much

It's software separate to Il-2 called Tacview
this is great!
Thanks! I work on these with a former USAF fighter pilot so if they're good enough for him I know they're good enough for everyone else :-)
Thanks, I play pilot testing on VRchat and I like dog fighting with friends and randoms.
this might come in handy for time travelers
it also applies to modern aircraft.
What stimulator is this ?
Hello! Would you kindly re-upload the turning circles and turning room video?
Hey Sharkbait, I'm making a couple of changes and it will be back soon!
i have a question. What should i do if a bandit is right behind me?
Eject
Now i can get some kills in il2
It's the best maneuver I rarely see anyone do lol
are you using tacview in these videos if not what are you using?
Yep, using tacview!
Top
Only if I had an aircraft
I didn’t know that tac-view works on IL2. Does it work on WT?? XD
No idea...I don't think so though
realistic and sim , yes
lesson #3 is not view-able and private?
It will be back after I make some changes.
@@RequiemsACTL thank you!
What game is this please?
Il-2 great battles
What is HCA? thanks!
Heading Crossing Angle. Difference between the 2 fighter's headings. It's covered in BFM lesson #2
