If you enjoy war thunder or are looking forward to Microsoft flight simulator 2020, 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.

Check out the Merch Store: teespring.com/stores/growling-sidewinder-store Been having fun playing on the server these days usually I don't fly the hornet because its so outclassed in air to air against F-16s and F-14s on red, but to be honest I think its growing on me, I might be doing a lot more of it in the future. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. Much Love.

Love the approach in the hornet dude. Definitely feel like a lot of guys fly the thing way too conservatively and forget that the key to mastering PvP (in pretty much any DCS fighter) is good SA. That AMRAAM performance is a nice touch too though....

My friend you are a true ninja in the Hornet a pleasure to watch.

[@RedSky1895]

The F-18 outclassed by F-14? I would certainly agree at high altitude, sterile BVR timelines, but with both aircraft actually fighting to win? The 14's SA gets stressed heavily when fights get dirty, and the hornet begins to shine there. I've never felt super concerned about F-14s aside from respecting silent 54 shots, though of course any aircraft with capable weapons is a threat not to be taken lightly!

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

I agree fully with the SA statement and pretty much everything else tbh. a good Tomcat drive won't get that close to a hornet in the first place but if he does he's in trouble.

[@TranceFields1]

When engaging in BVR (25+NM) are you exclusively using RWS or TWS for tracking? Do you switch between the two? I fly the F18 almost exclusively in your server (thanks for the Canadian server btw!!!) Because it's my favourite PVP aircraft. But man, that attack radar it has you've really gotta work it for it to be effective. Be that as it may I will say that the F18 radar and SA is extremely powerful and probably one of the best if not the best in the game. Just trying to see different people's approach to the attack radar and bugging targets BVR and what targeting modes are used/preferred for engagement. Cheers!

[@sebastian7745]

He is flying at angels 30, the CAS is different than flying lower

[@Mike_Romeo]

The speedindicator tells your speed by the dynamic air pressure that went into the pitot tube. At higher attitudes, there is less dense air, so less air will went into that pitot tube and it will show lower speeds than you actually flying.

[@ryanfinch9976]

Does weather effect vehicle performance in DCS, as an example cold conditions compare to hot

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

yes engine performance varies based on temperature.

The Harrier is out of early acces but not completed. F-18 and F-16 are still in early acces but the Hornet will leave it maybe this year or 1Q 2021 while the F-16 is still very very early acces and miss many weapons and systems. But it goot the Maverics and HARM's some month ago.

[@user-vz5bu6js4p]

as you fly, can you go into more detail about the signs on the radar, hud and all the other displays? Like which number shows distance, which shows speed - that kind of stuff. I don't play DSC (or any games for that matter) but i really like how you explain tactics and all. The biggest mystery to me now is how you orient yourself in space and see threats/friendlies/types of ac/directions, etc, and consequently make decisions on whom to fire or when to abort. Like you said "missal at my 5, now at 6" - how do you know? I think explaining data in the cockpit could be a whole new sort of lecture and could probably help players also. Especially taking that different planes have different cockpits. And it might actually be interesting to you too, because you sound kinda bored explaining cranks all the time)) Thanks!

[@Inf3deli0us]

The Super Hornet may have seen its first flight in the late 90s but it is still the navy's premier multirole aircraft with advanced radar and advanced avionics package. Especially in the later blocks, we begin to see improved stealth and jamming capabilities that really prove why it is called the Super Hornet. something DCS Developers would not be able to get their hands on without it feeling just like the legacy hornet. Trust me I want it BAD as well.
