DW2020 Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 I currently fly F15C which is a heck of an aircraft and very powerful but I am after something a bit more nimble for dog fighting, what do you suggest?
Fri13 Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 F/A-18C.... Or Su-33 if wanted cheap. Both Maritime fighters as well. i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.
DW2020 Posted February 29, 2020 Author Posted February 29, 2020 F/A-18C.... Or Su-33 if wanted cheap. Both Maritime fighters as well.Thanks for the info, I will take a look at both of them
Mr. Big.Biggs Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 F14. Wicked in a dogfight if you know what your doing. Other would be f18 but it feels like a flying nintendo in my opinion. Some love it though. It too is a heck of a plane. I9 (5Ghz turbo)2080ti 64Gb 3200 ram. 3 drives. A sata 2tb storage and 2 M.2 drives. 1 is 1tb, 1 is 500gb. Valve Index, Virpil t50 cm2 stick, t50 base and v3 throttle w mini stick. MFG crosswind pedals.
Vampyre Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 If all you want is a dogfighter then the Spitfire or Bf-109K-4 are both very nimble dogfighters and the best turners in DCS. I hear the I-16 is also pretty nimble as well. The P-51D, FW-190A-8 and FW-190D-9 will out turn all of the jets in DCS. I've shot down a number of wannabe jet jocks in both the P-51D and FW-190D-9... mainly because they didn't know how to fight to their platforms strengths. That's the thing about dogfighting, It's mostly about how well the pilot uses his aircraft and less about the actual platform being flown. The DCS F-15C, while being disadvantaged by its FC3 status, is a respectable dogfighter among its contemporaries. With each particular airframe you fly you will need to learn the idiosyncrasy of each of them to get the fullest performance. Now if you are looking for something modern that are better turners than the F-15C then I suggest the MiG-29's, Su-27, Mirage 2000C, F/A-18C or the F-14B. I prefer the F-14B and MiG-29's myself. Truly superior pilots are those that use their superior judgment to avoid those situations where they might have to use their superior skills. If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck! "If at first you don't succeed, Carrier Landings are not for you!"

Pikey Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 Mirage 2000C. First turn is insane and allows you to spend everything. Hornet is OK, little underpowered in some comparison but more forgiving than the Mirage at slow speed. Viper i've not tried anything hard, it's got the most power so it should be a little more vertical than the others. ___________________________________________________________________________ SIMPLE SCENERY SAVING * SIMPLE GROUP SAVING * SIMPLE STATIC SAVING *
