    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.

No longer did different services fight on their own terms and schedules, using only their own forces, everyone was brought together under a cohesive command structure. It's why a USAF A-10 would be assigned as CAS with Marines, in operations today. It also was a great use of limited budgets, because one branch can concentrate on their specialties, without losing the capability to say, hold ground after the air battle had been won, when the Army shed it's fixed wing operations to the USAF in 1947.

      @@rewmeister If you took effective fire then you shouldn't have attacked that target just yet. The fact that getting hit was hard to avoid doesn't make the repairs any less expensive, and it's the pilot's job to make those repairs unnecessary.
      Of course, that's putting an incredible burden on the Warthog pilot, which is why that plane is obsolete for anything besides fighting insurgents whose heaviest AA weapons are the few 12.7mm machine guns here and there. Anything more will ground it for repairs far too often because the pilots essentially have an impossible task.
      See that exact mission played with a Viper or a Hornet, or better yet, the Strike Eagle once it comes out. I'd be ashamed if I got hit at all, let alone lost an engine.

However give me the badass A-10 any day of the week. The way it maneuvers in the air and the payload it can dispense just blows my mind. When the pilot get down to business it's all over for the targets. I also like the fact that you can hit a hostile target with friendly's in the area and they don't have to worry about getting hit. They can relax that they are well covered. Keep flying those beautiful planes they are the best. Keep showing us the videos I never get tired of them. Stay safe out there. Take care and God bless.

    Always been my favorite attack aircraft. This video shows just how versatile it is. The air to air kill was a sweet bonus. Fun video!

    Yeah, nice vid again! There are several vids of the A10 flying cas in iraq / afg on yt. Every soldier knows that if there is an A10 over you on cas to protect you is a gift. This jet is a beast🤗 In comb with an AC-130 absolutly devastating for any enemy ground forces. Again, such a nice vid you did, thx for this 👌👊

  • @MrRecorder1
    @MrRecorder1 Před rokem +3

    You could spice things up by default by dispatching an enemy fighter squad towards your position so that you only have limited time to do what you need to do and then hightail out of there. Just an idea. I am not much of a DCS-pilot, but I like to do this kind of stuff in ARMA 3 (less to learn, but faster to pick up)... I mean that is pretty much the recipe you had here as well :P

  • @SuperNov4Gamer
    @SuperNov4Gamer Před rokem

    Dunno if anyone told you that already but a good, and "more correct" way to select your armaments in the A10 is to select the profile and not the individual rack => make you HUD SOI (Coolie switch up) > Select the mode you wanna use (HOTAS Master Mode Control Button) > With your HUD still SOI Use DMS Left or Right to switch between weapon profiles, this way you don't need to click each individual weapon, and if you a make a specific attack profile you can select it the same way! hope it helps

  • @gregswope4629
    @gregswope4629 Před rokem

    Growing up in a small town in PA near Hagerstown MD where the A-10 is made, I would be sitting outside or inside and the ground would rumble and a squadron of about 3-5 A-10s would fly so low it seemed like tree top levels and it would literally shake the windows and walls of my parents house and the sound they make will send shivers down your spine if you’re not ready for it. Come to find out they were flying locking onto houses and cars to practice locking onto targets and Positively identifying different stuff. It was awesome lol

    As noted in other viewer comments, RIP to those unfortunate few at the Dallas air show, from us in Australia... I am ex-infantry and the term for an entrenched tank is "Hull Down" as only the turret is exposed (Except if you have the lofty view from an A-10. Love these video's and your hard work. Please keep it up!

  • @BobH809
    @BobH809 Před rokem

    One of the obvious things about using Flares is they can defeat missiles, however, they can also highlight where you are in the sky to your enemy who may not have seen you, in some cases. I know it's not always that easy, but sometimes I think a little less use of flares may help a pilot survive that little bit longer.

  • @daffyduck1974
    @daffyduck1974 Před rokem +1

    The only prob with the A-10 is theres not enough targets lol. If you enjoy the A-10 the Skyraider is basically the Gen1 of the A-10. Which is a stable platform that can carry a massive amount of varied ordance. That can ‘loiter’ around the battlefield & be called in for close air support.

    Outstanding! What a PRO and fun video to watch! The A10 reminds me a lot the Apache, it's kinda a even more badass version of the helicopter, just insane firepower, even harder to shot down and a lot faster.
