I just opened your channel today 30 minutes ago to see if you have uploaded the new part. Happy to see another video. Really helpful stuff.

[@unknown..38]

Very underrated creator. U deserve millions of views

[@TheOpsCenterByMikeSolyom]

Thanks for compliment. It really means a lot to me.

[@AviationPlus]

This is great have not been able to make a video but at this point don't have to. Will be using this for training of others.

[@TheOpsCenterByMikeSolyom]

Awesome. I'm sure you'll do a great job on your video. I really like the videos you've done so far. Great work.

[@BogeyDope]

Yes! Awesome break down!

[@TheOpsCenterByMikeSolyom]

Thanks. This stuff really helped me to improve in BVR. So I hope it does the same for you (and everyone else watching).

[@BogeyDope]

@@TheOpsCenterByMikeSolyom Absolutely. I learn more stuff with every video you make.

[@wannabedal-adx458]

This is like sitting through q course at the FTU (USAF) or FRS (USN)!! Excellent presentation!!! Simple definitions and good visuals. Which is good because I didn't go to this particular FRS course! ;)

[@pyr0duck676]

Have you considered teaming up with someone like Reflected Simulations to create an F-5 training campaign that teaches these concepts? I absolutely love your videos and I think someone like Reflected could make a great training campaign that people could use to practice this stuff.

[@TheOpsCenterByMikeSolyom]

Reflected is a great campaign developer and I enjoy his videos. I'd be glad to collaborate with him but I know we're both very busy with our projects. That will probably be the biggest hurdle for us to overcome if we ever decided to work together.

[@michaelsimon359]

Thanks for the great video! Feels like a tactics lesson at topgun! Hope for more viewers to appreciate your efforts to provide this content.

[@Ghost-pz3uy]

Thanks for part 2 - now waiting for the next, by re-watching other video of you.

[@yugen4720]

One of the most exciting channels to see a new vid drop from!

[@rockwellh6910]

Wow was waiting for the part 2! Really excited to watch this

[@GabryelHdPerformance]

Thanks for this content, really well explained.

[@S3NTRY]

Great stuff, thanks again!

[@marlan__]

Excellent video as always! Well done, you're always the top of the people I recommend.

[@TheOpsCenterByMikeSolyom]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@theegg-viator4707]

You done did good Mike! 🤘🏻🫡

[@justinhendrix5366]

Always good, quality content. Thanks!

[@baardeh]

Solid! Instant subscribe

[@mey.tomhero4876]

Great video! Looking forward to the next video in the series when it comes out!

[@lorenzobosi8650]

Another great video. Thanks Mike!

[@kzrlgo]

Thank you as always for this high value content.

[@cmdrbigity6914]

Good stuff Soly

[@edimoulitsas]

Exceptional work as always 👏

[@agidotexe7167]

i like that you have set up f16s with scramble loadout amraams

[@galumir]

I might guess the difference ein maneuvering for the different tactics was to underline the importance of pre briefing the desired behaviors, but would there be an advantageous point to perform a skate without cranking? Omitting that would leave us with less range to work with judging by the video, with the only benefit I can possibly identify being that the opponents don't get an indication for us to already have launched.

[@benainz4385]

Informative course, well done and laid out. Wonder what would be next after BVR? SEAD? Moving more Mud? Or how packages are planned and employed? Either way, love your series.

[@TheOpsCenterByMikeSolyom]

I've wanted to do a Viper series for a while. So that is next.

[@AloccoTG]

the goat

[@YuriHabadakas]

Very valuable information, clearly explained. Thank you! I did notice, though: your youtube chapter heading for "Banzai" has been spelled "Bonsai" ;)

[@TheOpsCenterByMikeSolyom]

Thanks. That was KZbin's artificial stupidity that put in those labels. I turned those off now since I'm not sure how useful it is to have a chapter named after a plant. :)

[@YuriHabadakas]

@@TheOpsCenterByMikeSolyom oh wow! Huh, how helpful of it...

[@YuriHabadakas]

@@TheOpsCenterByMikeSolyom I did briefly wonder if it was some alternate version of Banzai only somehow smaller 😁 (Then I realised they'd sound too similar over the radio)

[@nathanalvar9156]

Has anyone tested the salvo results in DCS? I feel like flying in a flanker, that it isn't beneficial to salvo. The CM resistance of the ERs is poor. Thanks for the video!

[@chikokishi7030]

I really enjoy learning the details of how things work, but i still struggle with the "big picture" Maybe in the future could you do a series (maybe even a single video would suffice?) Kind of stepping through the tiers between the overall war picture down to the task of the individual pilot? It is difficult for me to express exactly what im asking because i dont know what i dont know. A simple example would be that i dont know what to do as a CAS (example?) pilot in a MB339 when im flying around on a server. One series that really help me is "The Operations Room" where he describes an encounter with overhead view, but tailored more toward teaching how the pilots interact? Just suggestions... Thank you for the videos, they are so good.

[@realQuiGon]

He already did explain this in his "Air Supremacy" series. Especially the ATO episode explains in detail how the overall war picture gets broken down to indivdual tasks for single pilots/flights: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n32rhYadas14m5Ysi=zi-iH0t-viSi3iuj

[@TheOpsCenterByMikeSolyom]

@@realQuiGon is 100% correct. That series should help you out. Thanks @realQuiGon!

[@AndrewKern12]

Maybe I missed it between this and part 1, but when executing a skate or an out, it seems like we are turning before the missile goes husky/pitbull. Is the intent for a skate to have enough time for the missile to go (at minimum) husky before conducting the out?

[@YuriHabadakas]

This is a really good question, and I'm trying to work out the answer as well. I've been doing some practice. At 20,000ft, against a Su-27 (documented MAR is 15, going on the Falcon BMS docs), doing about Mach 1.5 (full AB, pointing right at the enemy), the HUD indicator shows that the distance at which a launch would go pitbull will put me at 14nm away. Basically, I've never been able to get a missile to go active while I still have a radar lock, without getting within that 15nm.
