One thing love about your videos and tac view explanations is the fact you show just how much thinking and skill it takes to be a fighter pilot, that it’s not just point and shoot etc. that you need to know all of your equipment and what and how it will react along with whatever scenarios it may be put into. Not to mention also knowing the enemies aircraft and weapons capabilities. All while your trying to maneuver, outthink, out fly the opponent you also have to deal with the g forces that are being applied to your body and fighting the rush to pass out for few seconds from whatever hard turns you may be doing that unfortunately this game itself can’t show,. But from just watching your tac view and what’s happening Def makes you have a totally new respect for what a fighter pilot does,,I thank you for showing us this. Wish I had a good pc to play this game. But have to thank all our military and of course the pilots who train to do the stuff we all like to watch for entertainment here on KZbin

@@cbinder46 Looks grossely exxagerated. Like orders of magnitude of what it supposed to be. Frontal RCS is 0.0X dBsqm lower than an F15's at 20nm. Guess it's the modder's form of compensation (game balance of sort) for the generous kinamtic figures.

[@sh0ckv3l33]

@@SgtSeth F-16.net . You get official diagrams plus the way to calculate the signal attenuation caused by the frontal shaping (can be done for all angles of the frame if you do so wish). the X part is because is impossible to guesstimate the efficiency of the coating and the ram materials used all over the "skin". Rule of thumb is that you end up with a higher RCS value but is still useful for comparison with legacy 4th and 3rd gen fighters (since they are publicly known). The reference was the LM's quote of the "smaller than a golf sized ball" at 20nm. So if you end up with a higher RCS you did something wrong, lol.

[@68rhalljr]

Kinda seems like you're still using 4th Gen tactics with a 5th Gen fighter. Turning after a FOX only shows your larger RCS to the enemy should they be turning back into you or looking/working through HMS. These 5th Gen are best nose on.

Monster Energy State GS! M1.72 in the dive and M1.25 on the deck. Whoa! Nice boost to the 120. You had a massive energy (speed and altitude) advantage from the get-go. One Flanker also built up quite a bit of speed in his dive but bled it with all his maneuvering. Was a closer fight than I anticipated. And the guy cobra-ed an AMRAAM??? Yup... Superman flies a 33. Shut all front doors! Re-match but with J-11s and the R-77. Same set-up.

I think the low flying mig might have evaded the missile because of the combination of doing a cobra to slow down really quick, right after popping lots of chaff. The chaff usually won't work against PD radar because it's not moving fast enough to fool the radar. But in this case, the plane was pretty much stalling, so the radar may have been fooled by the chaff.

Has to be much more comforting to see 2 Raptor out the window of your Lufthansa flight than a Russian craft lol.

[@GonzoTehGreat]

11:39 What happens if the Su-33s stay with the airliner and don't separate from it? Doesn't this adversely affect the F-22s options for engagement because they can't use Fox 2 or Fox 3 without risking hitting the airliner by mistake?

[@DeeSnow97]

If they stay there, the F-22s can just catch up and gun them down, and even if they just break too late they can get into a significant positional disadvantage. The moment they know there are F-22s coming for them they're sitting ducks around the airliner, they need to break as early as possible if they want any hope of an even fight.

[@GonzoTehGreat]

@@DeeSnow97 The Raptors would lose their stealth advantage and also be taking a huge gamble by waiting to engage WVR, because the Flankers would have the opportunity to missile lock them before then and are also more dangerous in a dogfight than they are BVR. As for the Flankers, they won't know the Raptors are inbound until they become detectable on radar, so there's no reason for them to disengage before then anyway. I'm pointing out that the airliner represents a hostage which they could use as a "human shield".

[@NetVoyagerOne]

10:30 that'd be a hella comforting sight, if you were a passenger on that plane. Especially if you knew about the Russian's penchant for shooting down airliners.
