@@RequiemsACTL I disagree. Personally I can't stand all those hyper active cringe worthy youtube hosts who start every video with HELLOOOOO THERE GUYSSSSSS AANNNNNNNNNND WELCOME TO BLAH BLAH BLAH.......... I love you no BS simple calm style
such fascinating thing that i've watched pratcically no air combat tutorials beforehand but always when i decide to watch a clip i realize the move i'm watching is something i already naturally do.
This is basically a Chandelle maneuver. I just thought it was some maneuver that private pilots had to learn, I did not understand the historical context of the Chandelle maneuver until now. That is so cool!
A lead turn isn't quite defined as a chandelle as the chandelle purely involves an exchange of airspeed for altitude while turning 180 degrees. A lead turn will not always make that exchange.
Very true :-) I feel like in the first BFM lessons it was heavily conceptual to provide a solid foundation of understanding, but moving forward with this lesson and ones to come we are going to be building on what you've learned so far even more!
+RequiemBoS *The climbing oblique turn can be useful for the energy fighter* to gain angles and shave off airspeed at the pass, but watch out for the bogey doing likewise. Nose to nose in the vertical is a lead turn with little to no turn room. Suggestion for a future HOWTO: Deflection Shooting - USN Illuminated Sight Mk 8 Mod 2.
I have plans to do a deflection shooting video on the US sight in the sim which is the N-3A, but if we get some USN aircraft that use the Mk8 I'll make a video on that too.
Question: Min 2:57 you say Lead turn without TR is non raccommended when faster or have worse turn performance. Min 4:40 you suggest to counter someone with a better turn performance by take away the TR... actually, doing a lead turn without TR. Although I undestand the concept (you actually begin the turn earlier to compensate the bigger radius) this contraddiction confuses me
What software are you using to animate or illustrate the flight path review? Is this a feature inside of IL-2 or a sideloaded/background program? The software I'm referring to is the one in the thumbnail for this video.
i tryed to bleed speed off in my car instead of using brakes by moving steering wheel back an forth.. people look at me like am crzy.... i thiink the brakes work better..
Yeah...they actually do and more often than you think :-) I use lead turns a LOT and not just against enemies flying in a straight line. People would rather try and go for more difficult high aspect shot instead of performing a lead turn and gaining the advantage to create an easier shot later. It's one of the more under-utilised maneuvers because of this.
