    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.

    The fact that the F16 can compete with an F22 in a dogfight shows how dominant it is as a fighter.

    The F-22 pilot seemed very impatient - like "screw this long 2 circle, I'll just flip it around!" - doing counter maneuvers that would instantly get him killed in any other plane, but inevitably getting him killed in the end.

    Both rounds were sick! Love how you were able to utilise the Viper's strength against the supposedly superior Raptor in the first round, though that victory was partly due to rather basic mistakes on the part of the Raptor pilot.
    The second round saw improvement in performance of the Raptor, he definitely learned his lesson. And this round was also a textbook example of why you really DO NOT want to get slow in the Viper. A slow Viper is a dead Viper.
    You know how you could _really_ challenge yourself in a one-circle against the Raptor? Try flying the MiG-29 Fulcrum against the Raptor using differential thrust in the one-circle. I know you love the Fulcrum and you've even managed to survive against the Raptor for a bit in the Fulcrum. So why not try it again, but with split-throttles this time?
    Love your content as always, GS! You've just earned another subscriber.❤

    Another great video, only complaint would be my cigar lasts about 45 min. Video is only about 15 on average, and yea I have watched almost all of them. But love this creator.

    Close in gunfight with another aircraft that can sustain a 9G turn is going to be one exhausting exercise for the pilots. Exploiting every ounce of performance sitting calmly at a sim is good for understanding the limits of the platform...but actually DOING it for real would be more an athletic contest between pilots than battle of aircraft when they're at this performance level. Very entertaining stuff!

    Superb flying GS. That was an impressive display of patience and sticking to your gameplan. However where was the differential engine thrust maneuver for your F-16! /s XD

    I literally had a conversation about this exact fight at lunch today, just a few hours after this was uploaded. I said the f-22 can sit inside the turn circle of the 16 if they go 2 circle.

    Cloud cover would seem to offer the Raptor pilot the option of going into the cloud, making an abrupt trajectory change, and coming back out where the other guy does not expect him to be. It might provide a couple seconds to maneuver for an attack while the other guy is looking somewhere else.

      That's actually a really good idea that I haven't seen tried yet. Hopefully it will be tried in a future vid.

    • @Bardghost_Isu
      @Bardghost_Isu Před rokem

      Yeah, in the first battle once he went into clouds there, I completely lost sight of him and was expecting him to suddenly pop out somewhere that wasn't expected.

    • @blue98jettavr6t
      @blue98jettavr6t Před rokem +2

      My best guess is that GS would have lost sight for a moment but before during and after the clouds they were in a 2 circle, the raptor would have likely gone vertical or cash in energy to cut the circle and at the same time the f22 cannot see through the clouds either. Leaving the rate fight in the cloud could be a mistake.

      @danpatterson8009 Před rokem

      @@blue98jettavr6t Naturally loss of visual works both ways, so you'd have to be smart about it. But might be useful in some cases. An IR tracking system with helmet cueing would be the countermeasure. But I think the way tech is moving, it will get to the point where "if you get this close, you've really screwed up".

    I think it would be awesome if you did one of these fights with the other pilot's commentary in it. Maybe one or two relatively quick fights then a joint debrief in Tac View or even a replay of the fight.
