@@Anarchy_420 Indeed, sir. was MIA for a couple months, but i've been back at it for a few weeks now. Unlike that fucking poser, i actually HAVE been asking for my things for a VERY long time, lol. You getting your video gave me hope for my requests.....so i keep trying.

[@barbaros99]

Those diagrams along with your explanations were incredibly helpful. Thank you!

[@fukimoto]

The visuals really help.

[@karabenomar]

So helpful! We've had countless 1-circle vs. 2-circle dogfights but how you actually go about forcing your preferred fight on the bandit was always a bit of black magic. Thanks!

[@tepes22b]

My wife was asking what the difference between 1- and 2-circle fights were. You couldn't have explained it more clearly!

Looking forward to seeing this revisited when the full fidelity MiG-29 releases. Also nice to see the Tacview make a return - always very helpful to visualize what’s happening.

[@theshinken]

Over the years you got better and better at explaining this and this video is the absolute peak. Even a complete novice should be able to get it this time.

[@recreant17psn47]

Boy was I happy to see the TacView was back with the piano. Cherry on top 👌

[@GabrielOliveira-cu1du]

Bro, the way you just know exactly what to do amazes me! I wish I had a setup to fly like this

[@Patrick-zr8tv]

He's clearly very experienced that's for sure. I would say most of the skill is in being able to read the fight though. He seems to have impeccable situational awareness and can very quickly figure out how the fight is developing, allowing him to respond appropriately. It makes me jealous because I consider myself a pretty good fighter but I just cannot read the fight like GS can.

[@GabrielOliveira-cu1du]

@@Patrick-zr8tv I *think* that I could be a decent flyer (even though I’ve never used any flight sim), but it would take a long time before I would be able to read the fight like he does. Thx for the reply!

I love how far you’ve come in using diagrams, inflight explanations, and then TacView debriefs to get at combat geometry and tactics. I think I found this channel like 4 years ago when you were first grappling with a solid training in BFM and the tacview videos were great, but clearly meander a bit with what to present and why, and now you’ve got it laid out nicely.

[@christopherchartier3017]

These new G effects on the F-16 actually make it better

Love your videos!! I was a AD2 in the Navy and worked on the F/A 18 Hornet. I was on the USS Saratoga CV-60 and in Desert Storm and was on its last cruise, But you definitely need better opponents!!

my pleasure, glad you found it helpful

[@optikid0373]

Man your ability to both focus on a fight and win while also explaining exactly what you’re doin is impressive. Good job and thanks for tips

Haven't seen so much exhaust smoke in your mirrors before XD

[@mattshreve9096]

Thank you for the extra explanations and diagrams. I finally understand 1-circle vs 2-circle!! I've been watching your videos for years, and I never fully understood the terminology until now.

[@angelosmyth7186]

I've seen you explain this before, but this is your best video on the subject - great job!

[@ryanw1433]

Very helpful - thanks! What I love about dogfighting is that it’s a very dramatic demonstration of physics and geometry

[@mikewebber4784]

Love the pop up diagrams and then the tacview debrief. Really helps me to understand how the fights develop.

[@Maxdady01]

The tac-view really brings home the altitude changes. Great job!

[@RudyRedTop]

The added visual examples are a great touch no matter how many times I've heard you explain it. They really help me actually visualize what you mean in my head.

[@lukecreamer8426]

10:35 the viper gets nose on first because it wins the two circle, and this was still a two-circle, but the offset meant it was a head-on snapshot with plenty of room for jinking and pilot error, not the F-16 chillin on your 6. A professional F-16 pilot would do what GS said and match your movements. There are degrees to maneuvering in relation.

[@daszieher]

You are the channel which has up to date best explained the terms rate fight, two-circle and one circle. In my early sim-flying days I had to learn the hard way. 😊 I remember flying aircraft, which could get around the circle faster than mine, but I could turn tighter, if there was space, so I had to resort to "bobbing" up and down, to "mess" up the quasi-static race around the circle that the opponent would have won. I also remember surprising other opponents in a rolling scissors by pointing the lift vector behind them while keeping them "over the shoulder" and cutting throttle on the way down and powering on on the way up. Funny, when you "sort of" learn by finding out and "misinterpreting" old handbooks. With YT knowledge is disseminated basically for free. Thank you!

[@MrSaaadpanda]

Love the Tac view! Thank you for that!!!

[@muratbozkurt5967]

Fantastic illustrations!! Great dogfighting course. Thanks for your efforts...... You're the proof that it is not the plane but the pilot who wins at the end!

[@andrewfranson4756]

I always appreciate a tacview debrief, it really helps build a clear picture of the tactics you are teaching us.

Can you do a vid on "angles"? You mentioned in previous vids that it "opened up angles". Would love to learn about that!

Amazing video, now after 2 years watching your videos undestand what is one circle and what is two circle. Thank you, great explanatory.

[@frapwaam5964]

Need more of these kind of explanation!

[@Blueridgebully]

reminds me of military training. it was explained so well i understood the 1st time. i was then taught 5 more times. only thing missing was a couple of exaggerated foot stomps.

[@Xaunoki]

I liked the little two circle and one circle diagrams you put in the upper left of the screen. I know what you're talking about because I've been watching for years at this point, but for newer subscribers, it probably helps tremendously to understand what you're referring to. It seems like the offset two circle initiation process is more or less half of a lazy eight.

[@jerryaubert6201]

I LOVE the chess of this. The tactical "Oh he got slow you see..." I can keep trying to force one circle. As long as he keeps above 350 he can ride above my nose.

[@finjuise]

So much love in the comments, nice to see that in today's internets! Of all the 1/2 circle explanations you've done this was clearly the best. I wish nothing but success to you. The amount of work you put in to these videos is something else. Don't work too hard, Christmas break is still long way ahead ;)

Beautiful fight, even better explanations. Thank you sir

[@blessthismessss]

as someone who's been studying BFM as a passionate hobby since your sub count was in the tens of thousands, i personally really like these vids as refreshers, especially seeing as counter-2 circle tactics are honestly some of the least straightforward things to learn with bfm.

I am a visual person, not an audio person. I understand better when I can "see" what is being said. To do arithmetic problems, I need to write it down. TO memorize phonenumbers, I either need to write it down or visualize the numbers in my head. Your diagrams are incredibly helpful.

Finally ? He has flown the MiG-29 for ages on this channel.

[@tomcatvrkalisz820]

Good knowledge there. Btw you could also mentioned that who turn last deside if the fight flow would be 1C or 2C. In not fair play scenario players do build turning room before merge for lead turn but doing that they give up the flow decision.

Offset 2-circle is great, but as you point out, it's straightforward for the rate fighter to counter. It would have been nice to see an example or two where the F-16 didn't fall for the offset, and get to see, idk, forcing an overshoot or some other tactic

[@simone.4914]

IMO you should have a high chance of an engine failure/damage every time you fly through debris of an other aircraft… even flying through a fireball will likely lead to an engine flameout…
