Air To Air combat DCS video

[Ktulu2]

I had a good time in the 104th and decided to make a video about it and try to put music too, unlike I usually do. So i'd like some feedback about it (the video, the music integration or the combat/gaming aspect of the video. Hope you'll like it!

Use [/ youtube] tags and only put in whats after the v= in the url to embed video.

 

As far as the gameplay goes, you shoot an awful lot of missiles that have a very low probability to kill. An AMRAAM being fired at 17nm can be defeated if the other guy accidentally moves his joystick. I usually don't fire until I'm within 12nm, preferably 8-9, and even then it's not crazy hard to defeat.

 

You don't need to maneuver between shots like you do either, it just bleeds off your energy. If you're not getting shot at, no need to yank and bank.

 

Pull out of burner and you won't have as many fuel issues.

 

When evading an incoming missile, you don't need to immediately split S and turn circles low level, just beam the enemy (put him off your wingtip), try to see the missile, and if you can't find it in a few seconds then roll 90* away from the missile, pop chaff, and pull into a 180* turn. Everything else just kills your energy and actually doesn't bleed off as much of the missile's energy as beaming it because the missile doesn't need to travel as far.

 

All in all, keep working at it and have fun. Don't take any of my comments as being mean, just trying to help you out. 1 missile saved is one you can use on the unexpected enemy when trying to go home.

Thanks for the Video! I know, especialy in the first clip, that I fired a too much missiles. In other clips, I like to shoot 1 missile with a lower Pk, just to scare beginners away and get them defensive. Thanks you very much for the critiques, will do my best to apply this.

Just to be sure, the before-last paragraph is for 100% defensive right? as by turning 180° i'll will loose my lock for sure

At 55 seconds into your video you get launched at, , which you beam it first, however then you split-S, followed by a hard 90* turn , then another 90* turn. You could have easily beamed, then claff with a 180* turn away from the missile and keep all the potential energy of the higher altitude.

Is it that bad?

I know, that's a recording mistake...lol

I made another video in the 104th where I am trying to fight sneakily enough, I get into few dogfights and a lot of BVR/WVR fights.

 

 

Didn't feel like creating another thread, as this one fits very well. Is creating new thread for new videos seen as spamming? Or is it bad by anyways?

I'm just wondering, because it's very nice to have feedback. Imagine putting ±5 hours for nothing.
