    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.

    Press Master Mode Button Long (Over .5 Second) to activate Air to Air Mode, then Coolie Hat up-short (quickly) to make the HUD Sensor of Interest (SOI). Finally, Target Management Switch (TMS) up-short to set your sidewinders into "search" mode. The sidewinder's lock circle on the HUD will move around in a circle around the "+" reticle and allow you more area to gain a lock onto aerial targets. Once locked, it will keep that lock for a fairly decent angle off boresight - about 45 degrees in each direction. This is how you can High Off Boresight (HOBS) dogfight with an A-10.

      The idea that the A-10 could take an anti tank weapon hit is ridiculous.
      It's simply physics that a plane can't be as resistent as a tank, not even close.
      The only reason to survive an ATGM is to not get hit by it. It would slize through it like through butter, there would be pretty much no resistance.

      @@miriamweller812 That depends entirely on the angle of the hit. ATGM warheads are very focused in the axial direction to punch through armour. If the angle was slightly off, the damage to the A-10 would be from a relatively small amount of shrapnel as the missile is blown apart, and not the shaped charge itself.
      OTOH, A/A missiles are designed to throw large amounts of fragments all around for maximum coverage.

    I think why you survived that ATGM is beacause - as you said - ATGM's are designed to penetrate and destroy tanks. Therefore they don't pack as much of an explosive punch as AAM's of a similar weight class do, as ATGM's use a chemical HEAT-style warhead to penetrate armour. Those HEAT-warheads utilise explosions to create a supersonic, molten jet of copper that can pierce through armour like butter. But of course, because of this specialization, they don't have the explosive mass of an AAM, and they also don't explode as violently or with much shrapnel (other than the body and components of the missile).

    I've a question. When engaged in long range missle combat. You fire then dive and notch to make the missle maneuver and fly into denser air making it lose energy. If you knew how long the rocket burned on the missle wouldn't it be better to gain altitude after you have brought the vampire into the denser air? Then it would be fighting gravity and lose more energy as it tried to gain altitude. A missle with no motor has no way to accelerate.

      APKWS? I 2nd this idea.

This would make holding a laser on target manually for for a Sniper Targeting Pod much easier. The USAF is considering upgrading the Sniper Pod to lock multiple targets at the same time for volley firing the APKWS. THAT would be a game-changer and would make the Warthog the #1 parts distributor of the KA-52.

      Bro that's so unbalanced.
      It might be balanced if Cessna has no wings

    The F-35 is to take over the duties of the A-10
    How about the same scenario, but with the lightning 2. The theory is while less armored the f-35 won't get hit in the first place

    Love seeing more A-10 stuff! It'd be cool to see you take the A-10 back to WWII and do some CAS there and dogfights. I'm curious to see how much of a difference a single A-10 could make for the Allies.

    With all that damage on the second A-10, they'll probably just jack up the data plate and slide a new aircraft under it.

    Just after landing the A10 shut down. It's like she really used her last breath to land her pilot safely. Caring lady with the biggest ass gun 😊
    GS would go into the hanger and go "Okey This one got busted too boys. Let's just prepare another one for me until I go take a washroom break" 😛

      Yeah, that's... That's not how it would happen.
      They were getting relentlessly trashed in Desert Storm and were effectively getting 'mission-killed', if not outright killed. That's why the Air Boss of the time was looking down on several wrecked airframes and literally said, "I've had enough of this..." Then retasked F-16s, instead.

    I think that would be a cool video to demonstrate. Plus all the fails that come from learning 😂
