    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.

      He has an old video from about 4 years ago that goes in depth on the FA 18 Radar. Its a little dated, but its still the best one. It shows you how to save different settings for each weapon type. Theyve added a couple of features since then, but he gives you enough info to get you going

  • @Tepnox

    That was intense! The Flanker pilot did a wonderful job in lofting these improved R-77 missiles from higher altitude. Did not see that result coming. Rematch in the future?

    Always interesting to see the missile's perspective, those things are flying like a maniac. And they don't care they're out of fuel, they just chase their target, that's all they do. Kinda like the Terminator.

  • @Raz.C
    @Raz.C Год назад +71

    So... Setting the radar to sweep through 40 degrees, does that mean that cranking to the gimbal limit of the radar is going to be harder, because you only have that 40 degree window? Or does that only affect the detection of the bandit, while maintaining a lock on the bandit retains the whole 120 degree radar sweep?

    • @0BuLLeT01
      @0BuLLeT01 Год назад +8

      I THINK that the gimbal follows the bandit automatically once locked. For altitude you need to manually push the auto button on the right of the mfd though.

    • @Lochaby
      @Lochaby Год назад +17

      Right. The search is only 40° but once the contact is STT locked, GS can maneuver out to the full gimbal limit of 70° off nose.

    • @Sardinie14
      @Sardinie14 Год назад

      Second idea

    • @Mitissa515
      @Mitissa515 Год назад +1

      Depends on which tracking mode you are using. If you're using TWS you have to change 'MAN' to 'AUTO' on the right (I think it's the middle button). If you're using RWS like he was using here, that 40-degree search is just for locating and locking. Once it has something locked it will follow that target to the edges of your gimble.

    • @fabianwho9797
      @fabianwho9797 Год назад

      Im no Expert, but to my knowlegdge you can move the scan area as well (either put tdc somewhere and press it or use a mode where it follows automatically), so it is possible to use the 40 degree scan but look at 30 to 70 degrees to your right. If you track a bandit, depending on the selected mode (manuel or auto) the radar will move the scan area with the target to keep lock. I cant tell how exactly (if at all) this differs between TWS and STT Lock right now, I would have to try it out again.

  • @timbaskett6299
    @timbaskett6299 Год назад +9

    In DCS, I don't know how much of a difference there is between the Charlie Hornet and the Echo Hornet, but I'd like to see a Super Hornet vs. A Su-27.

Holding hands and saying Grace before they eat and this fuel tank just crashes right in through the front window or roof of the house and crushes their dinner table.

    The radar operations for a BVR fight I don't really know yet, but I find the analysis fascinating. I can't wait to get involved. This looks like SO much fun. Especially the guns only fights. I find those the most compelling, but all the "fights" or "missions" look really cool. Thanks so much for the content and especially the analysis. Explaining things for newbies. I imagine you get tired of repeating about the MAR, WEZ, elementary radar stuff, etc...but I really appreciate it. Great content. Keep it up. Your channel is most often the highlight of my day. Keeps me sane haha. Thanks...take care.

  • @rambler8870
    @rambler8870 Год назад +2

    Great video. Would you be interested in doing this same scenario/video with the more modern Super Hornet to see how it stacks up? I know quite a few NATO and American allies still fly the legacy hornets, but, considering the USA has pretty much done away with using them and are primarily using the modern Super Hornet as far as the US Navy is concerned, it seems far more likely that a Super Hornet would be what goes against a Flanker if the USA ever gets into a hot war with the Russians that the US Navy is engaged in. Anyway, like I said, great video.

  • @Laerei
    @Laerei Год назад +3

    This video tells me more about the missiles than the planes. The fact that Su-27 was already high and recommited by the time you defeated the missile tells me he defeated the AMRAAMs with ease way sooner which allowed him all that time to get high and comfortable to fire higher probability of kill shots at Hornet.

    • @GrowlingSidewinder
      @GrowlingSidewinder  Год назад +7

      correct but the reason he was able to do that was because the hornet is slow (relative) and therefore amramms that come off the hornet are easier to defeat. I would bet most of those missiles might have hit him if I was in the F-16.

    Not to make GS anymore legendary but I wonder if GS is involved in the development of of pilotless planes- able to easily surpassed the limits of man.
    You know they already have mind blowing stuff that we can only guess about.
    And the humans who pilot them will be different from traditional pilots in both physical and mental features.

    @botondkalocsai5322 Год назад

    So I was wondering how much missile protection does ground hugging gives, because ground hugging not only provides enhanced radar clutter but also provides a fake signature of the target via reflection. So if a plane is sufficiently close to the ground, then the missile will inevitable drive into the ground next to target plane.
    The question is that can there be realistic scenarios where a plane can fly sufficiently close to the ground on a flat plain such that it is practically invulnerable to radar guided missiles?
