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.

great learning lesson on what NOT to do. NOW.... what could have that F18 done to either runaway or win this fight should be the next lesson.

@shanemonsees4798 Год назад

FYI... From a former F-14 crew chief, The TF30's not only compressor stalled with fast throttle movements but that stall could cause the engines to shit the compressor blades out of the engine if the throttles were moved back and forth to fast to compensate for the stall. They named the engines the "Pratt and Shitney's" on the A model.

@karelpgbr Год назад

It's weird. Hornets have always sounded louder to me. A louder, harsher sound, a ripping of the air behind the aircraft. But the Tomcat is a deeper thunder. It's as if some of the sound goes too low to hear. It could be the Hornet engines are being run harder because they're much smaller.

It's called the clinch. A boxer will clinch to tie up the other boxers arms and keep him from being able to build up momentum for his punches. It can also force a change in angles and technique. A good analogy for what was going on in the dogfight.

@jonnyj. Год назад

@@GrantvsMaximvs Um... what? It was designed less than a YEAR before the eagle. RFP was mid 1968 for the tomcat, and near the end of 68 for the F15. First flight was 1970 for the F14, and 1972 for the eagle. The designers wanted to get the F100 engines as soon as possible. This was the intended engine, as the TF-30s were literally meant for pre production and very early aircraft only. Like everything with the F14, this was cancelled by the navy due to budget cuts...

@coreyhutchonson1368 Год назад

love the tacview GS, missed it greatly

@mattsimmons4721 Год назад

I don’t fly the Tomcat, but flaps down, wings full forward, and full A/B seems counter intuitive for minimizing turn radius. Seems to work though!

@brokenmoon3300 Год назад

Wings forward pushes the center of pressure forward, increasing the pitch authority available to the elevators at the back. Flaps and slats down increase lift at the cost of increasing drag, which is very useful at slow speeds to maintain control of the aircraft. Full A/B is almost always necessary once you're in the merge to maximize energy retention as turning 5-7Gs for extended periods of time will eventually slow your plane down, let along climbing upwards over your opponent into the sky.

@alextowers3564 Год назад

My take on the reversal is slightly different. I don't think he misread the offset two circle as being outrated, I think he purposefully set up the offset two circle in an attempt to be able to ditch into the one circle at which the hornet excels. Look at how wide the radius is when he enters his second turn at 14:20 and then how he tightens it down as he completes the turn. That looks intentional to me. His mistake therefore was that he didn't offset the two circle *enough.* If he had, he would have given himself enough room to successfully reverse and have you fly out in front, but he was too impatient and reversed when there was still too much separation between you. The tactic he attempted to use was quite smart, but he was too sloppy going about it.

@skyhorseprice6591 Год назад

The always-sneaky & unpredictable Tomcat. In that 1st fight, you got him into an offset 2 circle fight. So, when you decided to pull him into your HUD, man that big ol 'Cat slid around onto his 6 with the almighty, everlasting, eternaboogie _quickness!_ What was that, about 27° AoA/sec? Tomcat with flaps down in a WVR dogfight is not something at which we should sneer; the turning performance increases significantly, given that your straightline linear high speed dash capability becomes nonexistent. But hey, what good is dash/sprint capability if you get shot down during the turn fight? It being that lowering flaps on a Tomcat whlle maneuvering at airspeeds between 200KTS - 450KTS results in some markedly improved turn performance, one wonders why later Tomcat variants werent equipped with non-jamming Maneuvering Flaps for dogfighting. It would have saved pilots' lives and saved F-14's from destruction. Such a relatively simple thing, yet it turns the Tomcat into a badass rate fighter and even a 1 circle fighter. Its kinda like the F-4E Phantom, which (finally) had an internal gun and Leading Edge Retractable Extensions (sometimes referred to as LERX, other times as Leading Edge Flaps) that enhanced maneuverability by a considerable factor.

@CyphDragon Год назад

So what would be the appropriate response to that kind of offset 2 circle cue? Would it have been better for the Hornet to try and offset into the vertical, and hope it's better power/weight would be enough to out-rate the F14 and get into a more advantageous position?

@alextowers3564 Год назад

IMO he should (could) have continued what he was doing and offset the two circle even more until the circles were barely overlapping. Then when he reversed into the one circle, he would have had enough room to turn inside GS's turn circle as the better one circle fighter.

@bitmaster6542 Год назад

use the F-18's strength, nose authority at low speeds, below of what the Tomcat can do. How to get there, ask GS. Maybe worth a video, or type of video. Certain BFM scenarios and there ways about it, different planes, different tactics, plenty of possible content I guess.

@42grath Год назад

I think the second fight really shows why the navy moved away from the F-14, aside from just electronics and sensor reasons. The Tomcat, if you put it to every extent of its capabilities can give you a lot, but the Hornet still provides a hell of a lot of performance in a more reliable package.
