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.
This video aims to provide some basic explanations of the 1 circle nose position fight and the 2 circle rate fight in BFM or Basic Fighter maneuvering. We than go on to discuss the MAR or Minimum abort range and different fox codes and also cranking.

So I hope this video was helpful to some of the newer people on the channel or anyone who just wanted some things clarified and explained a little more clearly, Keep in mind these are basic explanations especially when it comes to the 1 circle 2 circle thing a lot of these concepts we can expand and talk about for people 20mins each lol if not more but thats not what this video was intended to be, anyway I hope you found this video useful Thank you for watching and the on going support with the channel. Much Love.

Great informational video. Thank you. A question if you please. Has anyone come up with an Air-to-Air missile seeker that that uses a visual lock like the Javelin Anti-Tank missile? This missile seeker once locked visually onto a target is immune to flares/chaff and most other counter measures.

[@christianrode2549]

We used to call a 1 Circle Fight a "min Radius Nose Position Fight" - also what happens after about 1 or two further reverses is rather a Scissor (flat or rolling) than another 1 Circle since the flight paths will flatten out more and more...taught BFM for more than a decade...same principles still apply...

Since the start of the pandemic, I have been really getting into fighter jets and I love dogfighting in games like bf1, Bf4, war thunder, etc and so over those months I was going on google and looking up pilot terms like what a one circle fight is, the difference between bandits and bogeys, and alot of other stuff that took time to actually find. But then Growling sidewinder comes out and posts a video explaining every single thing I learning, but in a 17 minute video.... would have been nice if this was posted like 6 or 7 months ago...

You are amazing GS. God bless you

[@americanpatriot4227]

GS quality again. Having recently started DCS and watching videos, one thing I have noticed is that GS stresses survival far more than others. There are some that prefer the Charge ( with tactics ) and then respawn....... Provided limited respawns and aircraft, I believe GS wins a long campaign basically every time. Not sure about other Squadrons and what they prefer, nor have I joined ( or more appropriately - asked to join ) any Discord or Teams at this time, Prefer to learn a bit more first. GS has provided many great Videos and seriously increased that "rate". THANKS GS

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Thanks man and yes you’re correct I like to stress survival because that’s how it is in real life a country would rather get its multi million dollar plane and pilot it spent millions training back then lost cuz he went to the merge and lost.
