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.

The stealth aspect is so satisfying to see in action. Most of the targets have no idea they're being engaged until they hear an explosion and see something important fall off their airplane.

[@EhmedCousCous]

That’s not how stealth works

[@BillWhittleChannel]

The Raptor is UNQUESTIONABLY the finest combat aircraft ever produced. I am not aware of any point in the history of aviation where this level of utter dominance has been even approached, much less achieved. The only fault with the F-22 is that we don't have 5000 of them.

[@ChuckyRed06]

​​@@durandilhe F22 didn't use stealth in a few of those simulations. The F22 is a beast. It has capabilities that are not even disclosed to our allies. It's 25+ years ahead of anyone

The f-15 is better in my opinion. But I love the f-22 as well. The cool thing about the f-22 is the stealth and it’s maneuverability! Can’t wait to see the raptor in action more but for now I’m gonna stick with the f-15

[@robsonfujii461]

Legends says that the F-14 is still flying.

[@maxwellnewlin9545]

at 14:39 you see it's smoke trail in the distance, still going.

[@Ankhobo]

It's the latest in stealth technology. The new F-14s come with a black smoke dispenser, faux flame throwers to simulate a flaming engine, and a fly-by-remote system so that it allows the pilots to eject at an opportune moment, meanwhile still flying the aircraft to its real target. The opponent is meant to think that the aircraft is out of the fight, but it's actually continuing on its merry way to deliver a payload of death: either munitions if it still has them, or by crashing itself into the target. Unfortunately, since the raptor is also stealth but in a different way (it doesn't really exist in a conventional 3-dimensional space), the modified F-14 could not engage it after the pilots bailed so it just continued to fly aimlessly...

[@vash_the_stampede6570]

to be fair as its based on "publicly" available information! the real thing is most likely BETTER than what we see here. secondly i have the feeling the F-35 would be able to do this exact mission almost identical way (no heatseekers though, but you would have 2 F-35s for that job anyway)

@@Asghaad Well with so mainly enemy fighters in the air, I think the F-22 is more suitable for dealing with the air-threats. As you see in most of the F-22 videos, GS is not afraid to merge due to the F-22's superiority in both dogfights and BVR. The F-35 needs to be more cautious not to merge though while decent in a dogfight, it is not dominant like the F-22.

except all this was was good utilization of ambush tactics with stealth advantage - F-35 can do exactly the same job secondly its highly unlikely either of those bases would be left unprotected by SAMs and there would be dozens of MANPADs to be taken into account - so no flyover the enemy airfield and no gunning the radar, it would have to be HARMed or bombed using JDAMs, trying to fly this close would end with getting Stingered to oblivion at minimum

[@CharlesHuse]

If they had broken up the original proposal into groups of 50 aircraft and spread that out over a longer time period, then I think the procurement would have gone smoother and would have given greater advantages to L-M and their suppliers to work out production issues with the components with each new group.

[@N-L3]

They just need to remodel it to help with it's maintenance issues and it would be good as new! Unfortunately they are too lazy to do that so they are just buying a bunch of F-35's
