This series will cover the essentials of Defensive BFM that you need to survive a dogfight in DCS World. In this video I look at the two basic BFM flows; one-circle and two-circle, and give a little more in-depth review of the principle of misaligned turn circles. This is the final fundamentals video before I move on to talk specifically about offensive BFM, and then defensive BFM.
Remember that I'm not a fighter pilot, I'm simply using what experience of aviation that I do have to interpret much of the material available online, for folks that may have a harder time contextualising it.
