    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.

      If the F-16s ever make it out to Poland for Ukrainian pilots to pilot them (the F-16s will never make it off the Polish tarmacs to be used against Russia) the Russians will make short order of them and use there-16 as target practice in a real life shooting gallery) just as the Russians did to Ukraines spring offensive which only lasted 48 hours as Russia took out every Abram's, M1 and other hardware or damaged the others to render them unusable and lost no hardware themselves.

      It's a software simulation. It will behave the same every time. Toxic is just a skilled pilot who makes very few mistakes, so he knows he has to be "collision close" until the F-16 gets too slow to keep up in maneuverability.

    LOL! Nice closeup of the missile, just before your death!
    There's something to be said for 'vectored thrust!'
    In that second match, he just stood on the tail and waited for you to overshoot... Since the F-16 must maintain forward flight, you have no choice but to keep flying and moving forward.
    Your guns got him in the last run... Clipping his vertical stabilizer off the aircraft... Maybe some hydrolic damage as well. A lame duck for your single kill of the day!
    1 in 5? Not the greatest... But you get to run to the kitchen for some hot pockets and a soda!

      Since the MiG-31 isn't a dogfighter, it'll have to go for the BVR shot. So in a way they're sort of admitting they fear the F-16 enough not to want to get close to it.

    Not sure if this would help at all, but if you hold the enable switch down it will slew the seeker to the HMD instead of the radar track.

    I feel like the modern dogfight would never happen starting 8k feet off the ground. More likely to happen between opponents who are flying under radar and terrain masking to flank enemy formations or stuff like that
    I get that it's more fun to have some altitude when simulating a fight, but it would be interesting to see how different the fight would be when starting a few hundred feet off the ground. I think the crazy instantaneous turn rates on birds like Flankers and Hornets would matter less as they wouldn't be able to drop the nose to pull hard
