Dogfighting air-to-air and achieving a 'kill' is art as well as science. Mike "Rocket' Blackstone describes how to perform BFM is in the 1 v. 1, guns only, similar aircraft arena. Learn how to use the fixed reticle WWII gunsight. Learn what the 'saddle' | 'control zone' is to deploy the guns. Learn how to know when you are inside the control zone and what your range is. Learn how tell how close you are to the target aircraft nose to tail separation. Learn how to control the closure using lead, lag and pure pursuit curves. What is your best first move at the merge on a neutral, high aspect left to left pass?

Ima be honest, I'm watching this for DCS. But, I always had my timing off as to when to reverse the turn safely, now I kinda understand how to use the reversal better. In DCS I've always heard reversing infront of their nose is a death sentence (And it is), so I just never really used it unless forced.

Correction: (6:40) The ammo rounds that you can actually see are called 'tracer' rounds. They are built with a pyrotechnic device that burns white hot in their base to help the shooter see where the rounds are going. This dramatically helps the shooter to aim the gun. It also helps the target aircraft to detect and avoid the shooters attack solution.

Think of it like this. You have a 90 degree angle which starts at the tail and extends backwards. Your planes angle from the tail of the plane is the aspecs, so if you are at 45 degrees on that attack course then you aspect is 45 degrees. Your aspect rises and falls based on your potition on that 90 degree angle. Dogfighting is a lot of geometry and a lot of angles.

Well what you tried to say there about light up bullets those are tracer rounds, and those are due the pyrotechnic compound/composition that is ignited by the burning powder and burns quite bright, making round trajectory visible, so here is part that you missed badly, hope it helps pall! Cheers 👋🏻
