Hi GS… I really like your videos on DCS. Very cool. But, I’m not a computer-arm-chair-warrior that doesn’t have the actual effects of G-Forces, mechanical failures of intricate machines, myriad of different circumstances and high-archy orders… Aside from that, I do appreciate your knowledge and with your practice as it does work on the DCS platform. Not pissin on you in the least! Anyway, I’m an old-school summina-biotch and have always wondered what it would be like to have a dual between a P-38 Lightning and an F4U Corsair. Both have the be late models, 1945’ish. Fully armed, mano-y-mano face-off! I’ve searched the web and even YT, but haven’t found anything. Always been intrigued when watching “Baa Baa Black Sheep” when they were “introduced” to the P-38 and they had a lot of draw-backs about it. Yet, I believe the P-38 was freaking awesome! Just want to experience which one would be the better Figher/Bomber, no Nationality involved, just the aircraft. Seriously - Do it!

Limited range is why I'm not a fan of the F16. As an Australian we always needed combat aircraft with long range, i thought our military learned that lesson during WW2 when we got the spitfire and found out it's very poor range made it pretty much useless in an area as vast as the south pacific. But we now have the F35 lighting and by all accounts our military are less then impressed with this aircraft and not just it's lack of range but for many other reasons as well.
@msytdc15777 ай бұрын
By no accounts is any military "less than impressed" by the F-35. It is by far the best strike fighter available, bar none. If you go look up comparable fighter combat ranges it is not lacking either. An F-35 with drop tanks is way longer ranged than a 4th gen with drop tanks, while still stealthier, with a better sensor and ECM package, and with a lower fly away cost. Now, is it a 6th gen USAF NGAD midsize bomber behemoth with intercontinental legs, no, but neither is anything else, and the Pacific region is exactly why that aircraft is in development, so it's not like anyone has forgotten any lessons. Bottom line, other than the F-35 being a country's first stealth aircraft and them needing to adjust to the higher maintenance requirements, and the F-35 being so popular that there's a very very long wait list to receive enough units to replace the far inferior 4th generation fighters they currently fly, no nation's military has had anything less than glowing to say about its capabilities. A nation's politicians, native military industry, or click baiting news media, well, they all have their own vested interests that don't align with the truth so much as their own bottom line.
@shaundouglas20577 ай бұрын
@@msytdc1577 Australia has cancelled its order for anymore F35's the airforce is less then impressed with this highly over rated, over cost and waaay under performing jet. No range, small pay load, cannot dog fight, it's stealth is not as stealthy as some would like you to believe and spends far more time on ground then in the air. At best it is a poor choice for a strike fighter and for that role the F15EX would be a far better choice, which by all accounts here in Australia we are starting to look at. The F111 was an absolute fantastic aircraft that we had before the F35 it ticked all the boxes for a strike aircraft. But in the end that jet became a maintenance nightmare as parts to keep the jets flying were becoming increasingly rare, as one airforce mechanic told me it had come down to choosing which replacement parts were less worn. It would seem that certain people in government down here had a vested interest fiancially in getting the F35 here in this country when even an absolute dunce would have seen just by its lack of range and pay load it was not a good choice what so ever for the RAAF.

You ever see those F-16s with ram coatings? Apparently they applied ram coatings to some F-16s designated specifically for SEAD missions. I wonder how much that helped with breaking missile locks, and just how much it could reduce the RCS of the F-16?
@msytdc15777 ай бұрын
The F-16s RCS reduction program is called Have Glass, started in the 80s, and is applied to more than just SEAD F-16s (though they are often the first to receive the latest enhancements). For example Have Glass 2 (Pacer Mud and Pacer Gem I/II) has been applied to over 1,700 F-16s. The latest version, Have Glass 5, results in a 1.2m² radar cross section, compared with about 5m² for an ‘untreated’ F-16, so it is a very substantial reduction. By comparison the F-15 is at 25m², the (untreated) F-16 and MiG-29 at 5m², the Super Hornet and Rafale at 1m², F-35A at 0.0015m², and F-22 0.0002m².
