    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 entire point of milsims is to maximized ur enemies deaths while you minimized your own forces deaths. It's not about fighting "fair", it's about being cheap and claiming victories. You can do everything right tactically and still lose, while not at fault it doesn't change the fact the other side beat you strategically.

      @sparrowlt Před rokem +8

      they are.. both come from esentially the same program.. tought in different ways.. the Viper was develop from scratch and its porpouse originally was to be just a cheap maneovrable short range fighter to complement the F15 with only short range air to air and maybe some basic air to ground.. While the Hornet evolved from the F-5 and was developed to be a multirole fighter bomber with full air to air, bvr, air to ground , SEAD and so capacity from the start.. Tought the Viper evolved during the 80s to grown to same capacities as the Hornet and ended up being a fully multirole fighter with BVR capacity.

    It’s hard for me to find that fine line of being offensive and defensive. You’ve said in the past that you want to keep your target busy so that they have less chances to become offensive. And I tend to struggle with that. BVR is an entirely different beast. Love your videos. So happy to see you blowing up.

    • @Mike_Romeo

    You know in the Viper you can bug a target on the HSD page to show as a "Primary DataLink Track" on the JHMCS.
    With the HSD as SOI move the cursor over the desired target (friend or foe) on the datalink and press TMS Up. That track will now indicate on your JHMCS until it is lost on DL.
