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.

Your radar saw Mirages but all I saw was a trio of Croissants on their way to AMRAAM City. I hear it's a lovely place all year round. But home and auto insurance is a bit pricey due to falling aircraft debris.

[@DataDownLynk]

Love your videos man, I love seeing the BVR engagements, but would it be possible for you to start including a 1v1 turn fight as well? That way we get to see not only a comparison of the weapon systems and avionics, but of airframe performance as well.

[@shawnmurphy798]

In a turn fight the mirage would dominate the f15e. The strike eagle is not a good dogfighted

[@Trollsty]

The F15E gets dominated in any turn fight. Just look at the video of it fighting the 16. It’s way too heavy, it just doesn’t turn.

[@90whatever]

What they said. The Strike Eagle is designed first and foremost as a bomb truck to destroy ground targets. It can dominate in BVR as we saw and will be even more dangerous once AIM-260 JATM beyond visual range missile becomes operational end of this year. Hypersonic, 2 way data link, active homing, 120+ mile range. Not sure if the F-15EX only will be getting or if the F-15E will as well.

Would love to see this new f15 go up against the mig 31 if it seems such a good bvr platform

[@NikeaTiber]

As I recall the Isreali airforce calls the F-15 "a flying SAM site" which is what it essentially is. It helps that the airframe is ridiculously capable. I'd immagine having a real RIO would greatly amplify the bvr prowess of the F-15, is it possible to have another human acting as the RIO in dcs?

[@boutathrowthecat5352]

the task load for radar operations doesn't really vary much between pilot and WSO. The main thing a WSO assists with currently is paralleling tasks, like the pilot and WSO find a target on A/G radar and cue the TPOD to an area, while the WSO operates the TPOD to identify a target, the pilot can continue using the radar in full self-escort mode. Or vice versa. This will change a bit when we finally get that TERRAIN FOLLOWING RADAR, because then the pilot will be following radar cues or coupling the autopilot, and if the pilot is heads-up, the WSO can pick up the A/A radar workload and operate in full self-escort mode. The point is we basically split and double up on tasks to maximize efficiency since there's only two of us up here. IIRC WSO will usually operate bombs though as they lack the ability to give the system consent to fire anything forward facing.

[@boutathrowthecat5352]

Hi, actually in this video (sorry I don't know the time stamp) there is 1 mirage who gets hit by 1 amraam and the other one flies by. I only ever double tap a bandit if I really really need him to die, or I need to thin out a herd. Otherwise you're right..it's a waste of ammo.

Hello there! I saw a documentary that claimed the Viggen was the only aircraft that could lock an SR-71, maybe that's something to make a video of?

[@Skyfighter64]

The Viggen was the only aircraft known to have achieved a firing solution on an SR-71 afaik. MiG-25 and -31 series aircraft could lock up the Blackbird, and have fired many missiles, none of which came that close. The Viggen had the advantage of knowing the Sr-71 flight plans, in which the Blackbird would descend and slow down over Swedish airspace. Relatively easy at that point to obtain viable firing solution.
