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, F-4 Phantom, Su-27, Mig-29, Mirage and the F-18 Hornet along with many other aircraft and helicopters like the Ka-50 and Mi-8.

Sorry if i ask, but what are the more specific designations following a phantom's standard designation? For example F-4E-45MC instead of just F-4E, or R-F4C-39MC. What do the numbers represent? Does MC stand for Marine Corps?

[@johnhewitt7356]

I am really enjoying your videos. When I joined the Marine Corp, my first aircraft was the F-4 J model. The year was 1979. We maintained them until 1985 with the arrival of the F-18 Hornets.

[@BlyGuy]

Which did you like maintaining better?

[@johnhewitt7356]

@@BlyGuy Thanks for the question BlyGuy, the F-4s were a mature system by the time I got involved with them. The F-18s were brand new, and they had some growing pains we had to deal with; I learned so much during that time as they matured.

[@Chris_Toney]

I took my first computer graphics course in 1981. I don't think it's possible to convey in words just how impressive today's graphics are. DCS is absolutely amazing. The aircraft models are incredible. I love that you too have moments of transcendence when flying through a beautiful sky with gorgeous terrain below. You do a fantastic job and I love watching these videos.

[@timonsolus]

Flight sims have come a long way since F-15 Strike Eagle by Microprose on the Atari (1984).

RHINO driver. My favourite combat aircraft. Proof that if you put big enough engines on a brick, it will fly. Thanks for this.

[@KillerKev1961]

I learned from GSW. I had all of the flight dynamics to begin with, but the challenge was learning the systems for various aircraft. Pick a bird, stick with it and master it. GSW shows that after 3 days, with basic knowledge-advanced in his case, you can adapt and apply quickly the advantages, and weaknesses of every aircraft. The F-4E is the pinnacle of analog front line fighter/bombers. The F-4 was the first true multi role aircraft that we had. In the USMC, my experience was with the F-4B/N, F-4S and RF-4B. It remained a formidable threat well into the 21st century and thats utterly remarkable. This module is proof that with basic skills across the board, you can hop from cockpit to cockpit and lay waste on your opponent, be it air to air or air to ground. The Phantom truly did it all and was remarkable. Phantoms Phorever. VMFA-235, 232, 531 and VMFP-3 El Toro 1978-1988. Semper Fi.

[@firebald2915]

My guess, the learning curve is steep. They modeled all of the pros and cons in this fighter, yeah ?

[@KillerKev1961]

@@firebald2915 agreed.

[@stop736]

Semper Fi sir!! I’m just a “young” ground pounder (01-05 1st Marines), but even before I joined I loved the F-4. I love watching them on the history channel when they show the computer animated fights from different eras? It’s on KZbin even now. It’s called Dogfights I think. I just love the Vietnam era battles they show. That plane is such a beast. Also I love the F-4U Corsairs from WW2 more then any other aircraft. So I like the history behind it. 🙂

[@RaceFan73]

You had some time wiith the RF-4B. My Dad was Crew Chief on RF-4C tail # 68-0567 in the Air Force from when she was brand new in '68 through '72. He was in the 17th Tac Recon Squadron in Zweibrucken, Germany & Upper Heyford, England. Did some time in the 'Nam too.

[@dylanmiller9604]

El Toro, how cool. Man I wish I could have grown up in those times. MCAS El Toro was closed before I was even born, and torn apart over my childhood. Boy would I have loved to have a local air base… I’m sure you have some great memories out there, my respect to you sir

[@OCinneide]

When it was designed and released people called it fat and ugly, like how people look at the F-35 nowadays. I wonder in fifty years will people be calling the F-35 the sexiest aircraft of all time.

[@ogier300]

Considering the basic design is from the 1950s, the fact that this was in production until 1981 is impressive.

[@owensks]

And that some countries still fly them is even more impressive

[@burbdood]

Growing up, the Air National Guard flew F-4's in the 70's, 80's and into 1992-93. We lived in the flight path of the runway and the Phantom was one loud S.O.B. taking off and landing. I was lucky enough to go on a field trip in 6th grade to check one out and I got to sit in the rear seat. Love the Phantom

[@theelviscerator]

When I went to Hahn AFB in WEST Germany, in 79, as a Missile Maintenance troop, we had F4s. I was assigned to the bomb dump, but pulled guard duty as an SP, during one of many NATO exercises we were always doing, besides our own. I was forgotten out there in a blizzard and they didn't come for me, till a day later. I was glad I brought my pockets full of food. Heres the good part, I was at the end of the runway where they took off, 2 at a time, full AB of course. OVER AND OVER. It was a Blade Runner moment, lost in time, like tears in the rain. I have seen C Beams glitter off the Tannhauser gate, Twin F4s taking off full AB, shaking the ground like an earthquake, Ripping the air apart to the subatomic level....

[@zachhamlin1718]

Let's see guns only 1v1 with the Phantom against a MiG-21

[@jimlthor]

My assumption is that it won't end well against an experienced MIG pilot unless the F4 gets his kill fast. Kinda like when he used the 109 vs the P51 and went into a prolonged fight. Some planes are meant to Boom n Zoom, others have endurance Can't wait til this plane is live. Gonna hop on Enigmas and try to pick on the horde of pilots trying out their new plane. I didnt expect the missiles to be so deadly though... thats the thing I'm most worried about

[@johns1625]

I really like these longer missions with multiple bandits! Should do these more often! Maybe a Vietnam themed mission to drop some bombs on a jungle trail while getting through MiGs and SAMs and AAA fire.

F-4 vs F-15, I think that would be a pretty good fight.

[@ziggystardink9389]

Not really. The F-15 can out shoot and out manuevre. They are not really in the same class. The fact that the F-15 carries AMRAAM's means it can hit the F-4 BVR.

[@dvaritek434]

Yeah its not even close. F15 outclimbs, and beats f4 one circle and 2 circle. Good match up for two idiots in an f4 tho
