    little bit of Naval Dogfight action for us here today, sorry about no replays from the 1st round, the DCS track for that round was corrupted so I was unable to get any slow motion footage of the cobra tomcat. Anyway thanks for watching guys much love.

  • @manuairborne
    @manuairborne Před 3 lety +9

    According to Navy pilots (there is a Sofrep article about this), in WVR the legacy Hornets is slightly better than the SH. The SH has more thrust and wing area (so a better sustained turn performance) but is slower to roll, especially when pulling G's. And it's worse when carrying ordnance under the wings. As the pilot says: the legacy Hornets is crisper.
    In BVR the SH is obviously better due to its AESA radar.
    Both Hornet and Rhino are less comfortable at higher altitude than other jets.

    Funny you mentioned the cobra in the f14, My friends and I have been messing around in the tomcat and I managed to cobra and hover in place for about 20 seconds. We found that about 45 degrees is the absolute max you can risk pulling. Up around 50 degrees the wings snap hard, largest number we ever saw while breaking wings was 67 before wings snapped.

    What if you did Hornet vs. Super Hornet, two rounds of best of 3 and you swap planes for the second set? Really enjoy your videos!

    I hate how the jets beeping in the cockpit sounds like I’m at A fast food restaurant with all those machines beeping lmao

    That tomcat cobra and then almost kill was the most ballsy thing I've seen in a long time. His speed and yaw control is probably what killed him but still super impressed and what choice did he really have tbh. Extend would've been the only option probably.

    Is there an A-10 in DCS? Also, some EAF Typhoon content would be good. And what are your thoughts on LOMAC?
