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.

[@bulwulffcristole3235]

In all fairness, the F-15E is a terrifying aircraft for any aircraft to fight against. It's one of the fastest airframes with two engines but it lacks stealth. Now had we tossed in an F-22 Raptor then that would have been it, especially with the shared-uplink network they use to provide targeting data. An F-22 can sneak in, provide targeting data to F-15Es loaded out and their missiles can track using that targeting data without the F-15 having to get close. Terrifying when they work together. Nothing like being painted by a bumblebee flying at Mach 2.

[@Vatsyayana87]

That was one of the best fights ive seen you perform. Putting the Eagle just beyond its limits in order to evade death by less than 2 seconds at least twice was just masterful. Well done.

[@forge16hanadamaintenancedr43]

@@920utdoors9 More so for stealth strike of high value targets. Paired with PL-15, its first priority is intended to be taking out AWACS from 150 nmi away, which means the opponent can only react to missiles either after they go active or get detected by missile launch warning systems like the F-35's EODAS, which leaves the hefty strategic targets very little time to react.
