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.

[@nomorerainbows]

I have heard you say in the past the F-15E is not a good dogfighter because of its weight. The F-15EX is even heavier, does it suffer from the same problem?

[@Brett_Fleming]

are they working on the f-35 cockpit? BVR fights would be awesome with the f-35!

[@hkguitar1984]

In an emergency, if you found yourself over-shooting your enemy in close combat, could you drop your tanks on him to either change his direction, or maybe even score a hit and possibly cause some damage? Just a thought. Great content GS, Thank You

[@RFWPHX]

I once saw a concept of a B1 bomber fitted out to be a air to air beyond visual range missile truck. Is this a possible scenario?

[@jamison884]

Love the videos, but you have to be careful with the large viewership you have now (congrats). Multiple replies have people calling it the F-15X now rather than the actual model name of F-15EX (Boeing F-15EX Eagle II).

I need to see the eagle with that new gigantic missile. That would be amazing with the eagles awesome radar.

[@MrBostonrobb]

Migs will get your attention but Flanker's scare the shit out of me...

[@yoloman3607]

I just wish they'd use some better tactics and put up a fight, they know their electronics are worse and their missiles are worse but they still come in high for BVR with the F-15s. Where's the old ground hugging Mig and Flanker pilots sneaking in low with radars looking up to make the most of their older technology?

[@andersjjensen]

Just don't go to the merge with them.

[@andersjjensen]

@@yoloman3607 The problem with that is that IF you get spotted by someone up high there is no running, there is no hiding and there is no driving it into the ground. The missile will come down from thinner air very very fast, and since it's looking down on you ridges don't help unless they're absurdly steep. And you can't get it to lead you downward, because you've got no altitude to sacrifice.

[@mangosuppe8706]

@@yoloman3607 But it definitely shouldn't be impossible it will just be possibly very political and take a long time.

[@arguy3297]

​@andersjjensen in DCS that's absolutely not true. If you fly on the ground and know your enemies capabilities you can fly smart and jam through much superior BVR capabilites.

Absolutely love the videos! DCS is an incredible game. Graphics are awesome. Just wondering about a few things. I'm relatively new to your channel. How do you turn your head and look out your cockpit? Do you have a headset on? Or do you just move your mouse? Second, is there any way you can show the very beginning of a mission? Like when you're actually taking off? Love the content man!

[@NemoNoone-p3p]

If i may help with this answer... Under playlist i think he has a few vids that show his set up and capabilities and also a few vids on the language, codes, types of maneuvers and tips to get you started. I think he has VR goggles and some type of eye tracking ability as well. Ive heard him mention both. Beginning with "taking off" he seems to do more with helicopter vids and mission based vids where he is scrambling to defend against an attack or go provide support. Ive seen him take off from a taxi way if my memory is correct. The dog fighting and scenario vids such as this one tend to start in the air. I hope that helps. Oh...I learned to understand what is going on mainly from just watching his vids because he explains it so well in the vids.

[@ChalkInTheLand]

@@NemoNoone-p3p I appreciate the response. I'll check out his playlists. Thanks again!

I think I will download the F15EX to my collection. Awesome aeroplane.

[@ifish5409]

As I understand it the F-15EX is a 2 seater but the USAF will only fly it with a single pilot, no WSO. They did that as a cost savings since it was already in production. They aren’t making a single seat upgrade that the USAF is purchasing.

[@PaulMcElligott]

This isn’t the EX.

[@goose4113]

I wouldn't be surprised if they end up having wso's, tho. Since they are only a force multiple. Especially since the f15ex is gathering an incredible amount of information with its advanced radar and other sensors. Not to mention all the information that it's getting from data link. It might be more efficient to have a separate person dealing with all of that.

[@ifish5409]
