    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.

      Felon for sure can do these maneuvers. Su-37 could do them and it’s not a current gen plane. The russians really value “supermaneuverability” but the thing is that it’s generally useless since it loses you most of the energy and then you are basically dead in the air if there is a second plane to capitalize. I would like to see this again but with two F-14 and I would say that only about half of the time the Felon would be able to get both…

    Question: The movie indicated that the F-14 is able to split its thrust. (Adjust engine power separately.) Maverick combined this with left rudder (and I think vertical pitch) to induce a spiral and decrease air speed. Instinctively I would think that this would induce a flat spin, but I just don't know. Does DCS allow you to split the thrust?

    • @GrowlingSidewinder
      @GrowlingSidewinder  Před rokem +976

      Yes DCS does allow it and you’re correct that it would induce a flat spin lol. Mostly because the engines are pretty far apart in the f14, but differential thrust works well with the f15 with the engines tight together.

    • @ryanleng8529
      @ryanleng8529 Před rokem +333

      After rewatching that scene I decided to play around with the asymmetric throttle limiter off pulling back stick and yawing in the same direction of the yaw from the engine and it does sort of induces a spiral like manoeuvre but you bleed air speed soo quickly that it doesn't appear like it does in the movie and like you said it just induces a flat spin.

      Versus the F16, it would not have nearly the advantage that it does against the F-14 in this video but would have the ability to still win possibly most of the time. Versus the F22 or F35, the SU57 would have almost no chance at all. Against either of those opponents, it would most likely just be stealth killed with no chance to respond at all but even given notice, those aircraft will still outmaneuver the SU57 about as badly as the SU57 outmaneuvers the F-14. At least one type of F35 doesn't even have to face the opponent to shoot them down, they can kill you from in front of you when you think you are about to win. The F35 is disgusting and basically unbeatable unless the pilot is has a stroke in the middle of the fight.

    Interesting info; Aircraft built in 60's thru the 80's were designed to be stable, whereas the newer aircraft are designed to be unstable. If you were to remove the flight control computer from the 5th generation aircraft, and some of the 4th generation fighters, the pilot would not be able to maintain stable flight, and they would have to eject. That's why the Felon is able to make those kind of turns, and the F-14 can't.

      The Russian SU 27 planes were built on the same principle, different from the classic weight distribution in airplanes (the center of gravity is not in the front).
      I think there was a case at Le Bourget when the control system of SU 27 failed and the pilot manually flew the flight program and finished the flight. Of course, it is a matter of pilot skills, but still planes can be controlled without balancing systems in case of emergency.

    Su-57 is currently waiting for an engine upgrade, it's using older gen from the Su-27 era while manufacturer sorts out some production issues. Both aircraft have 3D vectoring thrust nozzles allowing the pilot to do magic tricks and while the F-22 'only' has 2D vectoring letting it pitch up/down extremely hard, both systems cause severe bleed of kinetic energy. Plane becomes a brick. The need for high power, high response engines is paramount.
    Check out F-22 pilots presentation about training against Indian Airforce including canard + vectoring Su-35.
    Russia's current doctrine is focusing on super manoeuvrability with some low-observable tech, while USA goes full stealth. The F-22 radar return is estimated to be the size of a steel marble, an incredibly impressive achievement for such a large flat aircraft. The photos of Su-57 with all the rivets showing and non-stealth paint just doesn't stack up... yet.

    • @KionKamon
      @KionKamon Před rokem +13

      I’ve read that the reason that the Russians hadn’t put the new engines in the SU-57 yet is that the new ones are larger than the older engines. Also I thought it was the SU-37 Terminator that had the vectoring thrusters, not the SU-35. Though the SU-37 is a modified SU-35, and as far as I’m aware only two were ever actually modified (I might be mistaken on that though).

    Yes, the “should” have died, but your test has the same issue that the simulator pilots investigating the Sully Hudson landing had: they knew what was going to happen and they were able to anticipate.
    So, you need to start a fight with him directly adjacent to you, and he can’t immediately react…he needs to delay his reaction.
    So, they’d be able to survive the first one. But I agree they wouldn’t survive any of the others.

      I'm not sure what problems the simulator pilots investigating US Airways 1549 had, but those simulations were simply to answer the question of it was even possible for Sullenberg to make an emergency landing at Teterboro or return to LaGuardia (it should be noted that the NTSB never questioned his decision to land in the Hudson).
      Once the NTSB added a 35-second delay to the simulation to remove the anticipation of a dual bird strike (35 seconds being how long it took for Sullenbarg and FO Skiles to assess the situation, attempt one engine restart, and decide to ditch), none of those simulation pilots were able to make a successful landing at Teterboro or Laguardia.

    57 will dust an F14 pretty much every time. Great video illustrating the differences. A couple things to consider when comparing to the movie, The first 57 was a surprise attack. It doesn’t matter if you’re in a spaceship, If someone rakes you with fire before human reaction can kick in, you’re going down.
    As for the second 57, it was a chase, with guns. Not a dogfight. Their objective was to escape. Not saying that would change the outcome there. But it might be an interesting scenario to play out. The F14 is faster than the SU57, although that doesn’t speak for how fast they get to their top speeds. So escape is maybe feasible?
