Basic Fighter Maneuvering Lesson #3 covers the concepts of:
- The Turn Circle
- Turn Radius vs Turn Rate
- An overview of Energy Maneuverability (EM) Diagrams
- "Corner Airspeed" vs "Best Sustained Turn Airspeed"
- In plane vs Out Of Plane Turning Room
- Visual cues to recognise when an aircraft is inside or outside the Turn Circle, both offensively and defensively
- The "Entry Window" which lets you enter a bandit's Turn Circle when you are Offensive so you can kill them

Excellent use of diagrams followed by in-cockpit examples to illustrate how to apply these principles tactically--great stuff. And I greatly appreciate the updated terminology regarding turn rate. One thing I would note for your viewers who fly jet sims is that while the speed for the best sustained turn rate for the BF-109 happened to be at the lift limit and coincide with the speed for minimum sustainable radius, this is not always the case. This may even be generally true for prop fighters, for which I have no data, but is not for jets. For jets the minimum sustainable radius will be at the lift limit, but the maximum sustainable rate will usually be a much higher speed, and depending on conditions can even be higher than corner speed. The Ps=0 plot for a jet typically has its peak much farther to the right than the BF-109 curve. This translates into a need to restrain your pull and perhaps even keep your speed above corner in some cases if you want best sustained rate.
That was wonderful. Thank you very much. I can appreciate how much work it was to make this video.
These videos are very informative and as a very new player I'm finding your videos/lessons incredibly informative.
You're such a great teacher, Req. I simply love your videos. Whenever I need to recall something or think I'd need something like a refresh course on a certain air combat aspect, then your channel is my first, in fact my only address. You put so much work into every video, it's all so professionally elaborated, one could easily use them at flight schools.
Best explanation of a EM chart I’ve seen. Great information very well explained thanks
great tutorial as always. You have a great way of breaking down complicated ideas into something easy to understand. Now, if I only could implement them on the fly! keep up the great work!
Your videos make me feel like I'm learning in school again. Awesome videos and content. Thank you so much for your generous help 😍
This is an amazing video: it explains the concepts clearly and solidifies the theory with demonstrations... 10/10
Those videos are basics for all il2 players.
Brilliant. No other words needed.
Wow, I wish I had these videos when I first started flying. Excellent video!
Thanks for posting! Be well! 👍
Ahhhh.... the good ol' sound of chalk on chalkboard. Comfort and education in a nutshell!! Brilliant as ever Req!
Bro... those video's are amazing. This makes things so much clear in IL-2 and dogfights in dcs with modern jets. Thanks for the information!
Whoa... What a amazing explaination. Thanks buddy
Great explanatory video, I'm afraid I've had to learn this (as much of it as I have) by hard, bitter experience, it's good to see the science behind it. It does beg the questions; how the various aeroplanes perform vs each other and if they're well modelled in the game. Thanks.
Great stuff, well done!
These are excellent my dude
dang I love those graphs!
Great info...I'm a new player and new to sims and this is very helpful info for practicing to become compedent.
