If the F-16s ever make it out to Poland for Ukrainian pilots to pilot them (the F-16s will never make it off the Polish tarmacs to be used against Russia) the Russians will make short order of them and use there-16 as target practice in a real life shooting gallery) just as the Russians did to Ukraines spring offensive which only lasted 48 hours as Russia took out every Abram's, M1 and other hardware or damaged the others to render them unusable and lost no hardware themselves.

This fight would have been way different if you were to have used the 9x in bore sight mode instead of slaving it to the radar.

[@abot4694]

TOXIC is an incredible pilot and I love seeing when GS faces him, you see some really crazy stuff from him and he's probably the best match I've seen for GS. So not only is the Su-35 just better at dogfighting, it doesn't help that the pilot is also incredibly skilled. Had it been a less experience pilot I am sure GS would be winning.

[@mrflaquir4]

Does Toxic have a yt channel or something? I would love to see more of him. Thx

[@ashitaka74]

I don't know. I find strange that in 7 rounds you could only be able to fire an AIM9x once. It usually is not nearly so reluctant to give tone... I think something was happening in your plane.

[@andersjjensen]

It's a software simulation. It will behave the same every time. Toxic is just a skilled pilot who makes very few mistakes, so he knows he has to be "collision close" until the F-16 gets too slow to keep up in maneuverability.

[@ashitaka74]

@@andersjjensen nothing of what you say is unknown, and it still doesn't explain why the 9xs seemed like behaving in a weird way. You may be really close in the wez and even the plane won't let you fire, and yet they are giving tone.

And you know. you can slave the Fox-2 seeker to your helmet mounted sight instead of trying to get a radar lock, might be more useful in these fights

LOL! Nice closeup of the missile, just before your death! There's something to be said for 'vectored thrust!' In that second match, he just stood on the tail and waited for you to overshoot... Since the F-16 must maintain forward flight, you have no choice but to keep flying and moving forward. Your guns got him in the last run... Clipping his vertical stabilizer off the aircraft... Maybe some hydrolic damage as well. A lame duck for your single kill of the day! 1 in 5? Not the greatest... But you get to run to the kitchen for some hot pockets and a soda!

Not sure if this would help at all, but if you hold the enable switch down it will slew the seeker to the HMD instead of the radar track. Seems like the radar track was behind the Flanker most of the time which could be why you weren't acquiring lock

The flankers killshot in the 2nd round was really nice and casual looking

[@kitcarson2776]

I feel like the modern dogfight would never happen starting 8k feet off the ground. More likely to happen between opponents who are flying under radar and terrain masking to flank enemy formations or stuff like that I get that it's more fun to have some altitude when simulating a fight, but it would be interesting to see how different the fight would be when starting a few hundred feet off the ground. I think the crazy instantaneous turn rates on birds like Flankers and Hornets would matter less as they wouldn't be able to drop the nose to pull hard
