If you enjoy war thunder or are looking forward to Microsoft flight simulator 2020, 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.
In this video we take the JF-17 Thunder out for a dogfight against against the F-18 Hornet we are using the SD-10s and the AMRAAMs to show exactly how deadly the Fox 3 can be in a fight like this. Thank you for watching the video and I hope you enjoyed it.

Growling Sidewinder Store: teespring.com/stores/growling-sidewinder-store So I've really been having fun in the JF-17 Thunder in DCS these days and I've really been enjoying bringing Fox-3s to the fight, The idea here is that we want to simulate the real life loadouts that you might have if you accidently merge, as you can see in the video the Fox-3s do some insane turns to hit their targets so deff don't forget about your Fox3s in a merge. Alright guys I hope you enjoyed the video thank you for watching and all your support with the channel. Much Love.

[@ferid9k]

Hey man i have a question for you in dcs its easy to dodge fox 3 missiles by doing f pole or going cold etc. But is it that easy in real world?

Your videos on the jf 17 have been a great help to me in understanding how to fly the Jeff in the merge. It’s such a fun little aircraft and I enjoy your videos on it.

[@shashankm31]

As an indian, I respect the jf17, especially the block3. With aesa and uprated flight controls. It has solid aerodynamic capabilities, the lers and wings look really similar to the f/a 18. The drawback is the rd93 engine which is a real pile of steam. Even the mig 29 have similar engine issues. Hope the Indian navy picks up the f/a18 block 3 that Boeing is offering. Anyway, good flying and good luck to all

If a Mig 21 can shoot down a F 16 in a dog fight it's not surprising to see JF 17 being lucky twice. The real deal is a BVR fight and this junk fighter is nothing more than a sitting duck in BVR fight. It's radar is a useless and missiles are joke.

[@TheCloudhopper]

This demonstration is SO COOL. It's actually what I'd expect from modern jet combat, its not even a knife fight in a phone booth. Its more like two John Wicks dual wielding SMGs in a phone booth. It's so fast and unpredictable and really a situation you'd want to avoid at all cost in real life.

[@snotcycle]

OK SO, SCIENCE TIME! The missile at 15:09 is not over correcting, you can watch the controls unlock and the initial control inputs are made when the missile has ~0.51Mach on it, in order for the Pnav to get enough lead for a collision course on a plane at that range going ~0.50Mach the missile will have to take a course that is near parallel as the delta-V is so small. As the motor continues to burn delta-V increases rapidly and the missile issues a command back the other way at ~0.80Mach to compensate for the changing inputs in the Pnav equation. At ~0.92Mach we lose the TRT and G telemetry on the missile for some reason but you can see the missile continues it's turn back into the target as it accelerates all the way to impact. With these high aspect Rmin shots, the numbers going into the Pnav equation are changing so fast, and the missile is losing mass so rapidly that the guidance outputs (and the resulting angular changes being fed back into the equation) can start to overwhelm the control system--which has its own input lag and command speed limitations, resulting in amraam shots that look like the one that hit you "corkscrewing." This is where i tip my hat to Deka and ED for some superb missile modelling. We bitch and moan, moan and bitch, but this stuff is really impressive when you get down to the math of the sim.

Doing rate-fight thing on the deck is a non-option with an HMD/IRIS-T opponent. You either get him first or you die. First turn. No rematches on next turn anymore.

[@JETZcorp]

Wow, that AIM-120 update must have been really extensive. I remember taking a couple 3+ mile shots at guys who were inside the canopy bow of the F-15, and the 120C simply wasn't able to pull the radius to get them. But now, it looks like it will aggressively pull some extreme AoA to make an intercept; relying on thrust for directional control, more than lift from the little fins like it uses for longer shots. That's very impressive!

Seems like you fixed the second "problem" for me! B. also glad you brought up pulling lead in the tacview - i was thinking that seemed to be the "trick" you used to get your missiles to connect (along with your defensive steep "follow through" climb after the shot). Have you compared notes with MasterJay - seems like he might've left his nose on you longer to help the radar guide the missile, and that cost him? Nice fights, as always.

[@zeroxzero8348]

I like the Jf17 personally. If only the gun wasn't a pile of crap it would be great. Imagine if this thing had HMCS it would be really devastating in a dogfight. The vertical scan takes forever to lock something up but that is true to life as the hornet will instantly lock up a target if you move over it and that's just not going to be the case it should take a second or two for the lock.

[@Boombastic434]

Block 3 should get all these fixes

[@Boombastic434]

[@rampageTG]

The gun is helpful for cleaning up ground targets, and I’ve been getting better with it in dogfights. Though I more eyeball the lead for the gun myself since the lead indicator for it is trash as you say. I have noticed there is an HMD button on your panel so I assume the real Jeff has the capability to use some kind of hmcs.
