I learnt so much more in this than seeing individual tutorials. Loved it.

[@ianwiskoff428]

Dude, I love your tutorials. The teach while fly model is super informative, so thanks.

[@Kraken9911]

One of the best pvp vids I've seen. It's got something for everyone.

[@TorniQuetHD]

Cheers mate glad you liked it. Will make some more as it seems a lot of people enjoyed it

[@matk4731]

That was piss funny at the start. The Hornet really is a superb multi Roll Fighter 🤪. Thanks for sharing the knowledge. 👍🏻👍🏻🙃🙃

[@rhysmonaghan8822]

Less AMRAMS More Fuel, More Kills. Like the sniper of the skies. Good shit bro. Up the Aussies.

[@TorniQuetHD]

Haha cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it

[@Mike-vx8lh]

That was a fun one! Not the ending I was expecting :P

[@mrwolf614]

Brilliant video mate ... as always

[@Christian0382]

Great vid, and thank you for the tips.

[@TorniQuetHD]

Glad it entertained you mate 👌🏻

[@Lb8068]

Thanks for the tips dude!

[@CumulusBurn]

A fine way to end the sortie, good sir. 🤙🏻

[@TorniQuetHD]

Hahaha cheers mate, we almost made it home 🤣

[@philb1167]

made me smile :)

[@jackpot7958]

Wow great video!! Anyway, how did you do that on 6:57 ? Target highlight and Cycle on SA Page.

[@TorniQuetHD]

I bound the push button on the middle DDI that correspond to the step button to cycle between D/L contacts and just press that keybind to cycle through them all instead of using the mouse to click it if that makes sense

[@S3NTRY]

I saw that little guy. Roundel Roo engagement comment.

[@tatersalad58]

Nice video, subscribed. 👍

[@TorniQuetHD]

Appreciate it mate!

[@Tyetheberious]

Noob question, but why do you limit to 6 120Cs? Is it the performance impact on the Hornet? Thanks!

[@TorniQuetHD]

Yeah the drag you get from having the outboard pylons on by themselves let along with another double rack of aim-120’s makes you a lamb to the slaughter against the F-16’s who just have an insane speed advantage over you. In BVR speed and altitude is life 👌🏻

[@Tyetheberious]

@@TorniQuetHD Thanks for this. Great video!

[@erfguuipo8084]

@@TorniQuetHD why don't u use f16 as well haha

[@magshype]

lol that bogey dope is how i am when im on multiplayer because im a pleb haha, cracked me up

[@PvtPartzz]

Isn’t it very risky to fire the aim120 at a target that’s dogfighting a friendly, especially so when you lose the TWS track? Why weren’t you worried about it hitting the friendly?

[@ColonelAkirNakesh]

That ending was hilarious!

[@TorniQuetHD]

Haha cheers mate 🤣 almost made it 🤪🤪

[@ColonelAkirNakesh]

@@TorniQuetHD hey hope you've been well! Missed your updates. I've been replaying some single player campaigns and doing way better after internalizing a lot of the lessons from your videos. Now trying to learn the Viper, have you played with the Cbu105s yet?

[@AlphaGatorDCS]

great video! "STOP CALLING BOGEY DOPE F*CKER...YOU HAVE DATA LINK!"

[@jacobjohansson2311]

Like your style

[@bsdude010]

I think my favorite part is when you got pissed by everyone asking AWACS for Bogey Dope.

[@carrotsandrunning]

"we hit bingo, so we're going to bump that down"... This is how my wife drives our car :)

[@TorniQuetHD]

Hahaha after all this time you’d think I’d learn to stop doing that by now. Just have to check that the fuel low master caution still works 🤪

[@clevercat5844]

A honest days work!

[@AlphaGatorDCS]

NAILED IT XD

[@viewpoint5686]

Hey buddy, thanks for the video. The main problem I'm facing is that the contacts are constantly breaking on TWS mode. Any tips?

[@viewpoint5686]

I set my radar to TWS with 6B scan

[@TorniQuetHD]

In TWS or the horent radar in general you will struggle to get locks less than around 35NM now. The radar is more realistic with its detection ranges so if you are struggling to get and keep a lock that may be an issue. You need to keep an eye on what the bandit is doing too and change your PRF setting accordingly, even in TWS AUTO. If they are flying straight at you, you will want to be in HI PRF, if they are flying away or across you you want to be in MED PRF. If they manage to notch you... ie fly a perfect perpendicular 90degs across your nose your radar will lose lock no matter what setting it is in due to how pulse doppler radars work.

[@TorniQuetHD]

I usually run my radar at 4B scan, 40NM range, 40deg sweep and HI PRF setting as a start and then tweak from there depending on the situation

[@viewpoint5686]

@@TorniQuetHD thanks buddy. I hope this trick work. Can you please help me with this problem too? Does notching actually works efficiently now? I used to fly Su-33 which used to help me to determine the distance of the missile to my aircraft while notching. But nowadays when I fly Hornet in GS server, I used to get shot down even if I notch it using terrain masking. If it is not efficient, then what should I do to shake off the missile. I try to get to 25,000-30,000 ft so the AMRAAM can work efficiently, but the enemy is able to fire and shoot down me, even if I get a faint lock on it, while trying to hit the deck and notching it

[@TorniQuetHD]

@@viewpoint5686 if you’re up against a higher and faster target than yourself there is not much you can do except turn cold and make the waste a missile… it’s not very fun but it’s the higher percentage play to stay alive… turn cold, hit the deck, extend away and regain altitude and try again on another target who is co altitude and speed or even better… lower and slower than you are.

[@Only_God_Is_Allah_SWT]

Bogey Dope means asking the AWACS or flight control to give you information on the target.

[@TorniQuetHD]

Affirm big daddy, spamming bogey dope is a trigger for me clearly haha

[@_Jake.From.Statefarm_]

how are you even locking targets at 50+ km? I can't get the F-18 in any mode no matter how narrow the radar/bar/intl past 35/40nm

[@TorniQuetHD]

Radar functions have been tweaked since that video mate, more realistic lock and detection ranges in hornet for sure now. The F16 radar is more like the old F18 radar and will get its nerf sooner or later too.

[@_Jake.From.Statefarm_]

@@TorniQuetHD That makes sense! The f16's are already a force to be reconned with.. it doesn't help when they can lock on to outside the f18's range going mach 1.5 at 40k and run your ass down lol.

[@Lil-Bear82]

Call for AAA to get some gas-lol😀

[@TorniQuetHD]

Haha if only 😂

[@Bronco-1776]

I never saw you align the HMD

[@TorniQuetHD]

This was before you had to do that mate 👍🏻

[@dugs2366]

REQUESTING BOGEY DOPE.

[@TorniQuetHD]

Hahaha always with the bogey dope

[@erfguuipo8084]

How do u see enemies using jhammox. Any settings u did

[@TorniQuetHD]

In my latest video I go through how to adjust the settings for JHMCS mate 👍🏻 it’s an option in one of the MFD pages, can’t remember the exact name off the top of my head

[@erfguuipo8084]

@@TorniQuetHD ok will check it out. I saw you looking at target and it shows their range n stuff thought it's cool.

[@TorniQuetHD]

Yeah I go through that on the flight in to the AO on my latest video buddy 👍🏻

[@HobelDcs]

great play but, why Bypass autch

[@TorniQuetHD]

You mean the countermeasures switch to bypass? I prefer to have control of how many I deploy by doing it manually instead of using a program to save them from being wasted needlessly.

[@Desi_Nehra]

57:03 I just did. 😁

[@TorniQuetHD]

Thanks matey!!

[@erfguuipo8084]

Isn't f16 better than18

[@TorniQuetHD]

For BVR, F-16 is the king atm… for a dogfight I’d take a hornet over current state F-16 though

[@jebb125]

can i get a bogie dope??? lol

[@dillonsnyckers2915]

just letting you know many people including myself have probably paused after your intro not very welcoming should probably work on that

[@TorniQuetHD]

Thanks for the input mate, I’m just being me… I’m not everyone’s cup of tea and that’s the beauty of KZbin, plenty of content creators out there for everyone’s taste 👌🏻 I’m not here to be something or someone I’m not so what you see and hear is 100% genuine and not fake. All the best in searching for other content that is more to your level of professionalism but I do appreciate your words mate 🙌
