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.

[@paulbrooks4395]

A solid tip for the Viper for Fox-2 is to change the mode from Slave to Bore. Slave limits the maximum axis of the 9X to the radar gimbal. Bore allows the full 90 degrees. This means that you can get a lock before the target is in the WEZ, and then fire as soon as the situation is better. It also means your WEZ is greater than you may be used to and it increases the opportunities for kills.

Very hard to get a lock, and also any time you're pointed below the horizon you have a specified 'time to die' so you have to pull a valid shot and recover before that time or you'll be rejoining with your own shadow, or catching a stinger from a helo, have to do it all again, or some combination of the 3.

[@Messerjockel]

you can directly slew around the heatseeker on the fox2 missiles using the "Cursor Enable" bind and with the aim9x you actually get a bigger tracking cone than with the radar. So you dont have to lock them up then then unacage the missile.

[@Easy-Eight]

If you get a correct MiG-29 then the pilot of the MiG has to come with standard Russian models of incompetent.

[@sleepyancient6655]

Much worse. It's more of an air to ground weapon system, and isn't as maneuverable.

[@utkarshchaurasia2233]

It would be about the same as against the flanker. Thing is DCS compared to real life has been described as more draggy according to real life pilots so everything underperforms a bit. Now they have fixed that with the f16 in some way but they haven't fixed it with the old fc3 modules so they are underperforming and are un realistic. So take the result of these fights with a grain of salt

[@chriskibbe2901]

Great work on this! Love the realistic element(s)!! Please keep ‘em coming!!

[@perrykivolowitz7323]

Love all your videos - May I suggest you alternate aircraft with your opponents? Doing so, will identify what the aircraft brought to the fight versus the pilot.

I think he doesn’t do this because the person he faces off may not have the module, or are not skilled in it.

[@GimbalLocksOnly]

@@utkarshchaurasia2233 The only way I manage to be in any way threatening in pvp is to push the flanker past or as close to mach 2 and try to bait blu into a mistake where I can somehow get close, notch and let off the unholy ER+ET combo and pray to father stalinium himself for a splash.

That was just too funny on second round when you were inverted in the merge I noticed that you were way too close to the ground then I knew that he was gonna take you out. Did not know that a 9X can continue in such a manner like that. Excellent demonstration as usual. Can’t wait to get the advanced system I’m really looking forward to it. I know it takes an incredible amount of time to put it together and I thank you very much and I believe the rest of your followers do as well. I hope this does not take you away from your true love F-14 tomcat D. I’m fixing to go on now and get some flight time in there 14 take care. God bless✨🕊✨
