Is that fact, hype, CGI crap.. what?? I've been trying to replicate him without success.... I hope he did not have SPRD for this situation...

AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS

 

Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.

Its been couple of decades so the now older IAF pilot could have forgot/misplaced the exact numbers (Unless there is any other more oficial dumentation about that encounter). Obviously the acompanying CGI wasn't built to reflect every word that is being said, lots of animator's own fantasy there.

 

And the video title is misleading, mig didn't really escape, but rather got killed several seconds after his stunt .

Anton.

I have learned a long time ago that the 'Dogfights!' show has a ton of errors (to say the least), that CGI rendering of the maneuver was probably a bit exaggerated to look more dramatic.

 

I have no doubt that it happened but that "footage" makes it look downright silly.
