American F-16C Viper Vs Russian Mig-29 Fulcrum | DOGFIGHT | Digital Combat Simulator | DCS |

good deal good deal hey guys welcome back to another video today we're here in the F-16 Viper we're going to be taking on the mighty make 29 fulcrum to make 29 flown by my friend shotgun very very capable now ideally if I can keep this fight above 350 knots in the two Circle regime I shouldn't have too much trouble with the MiG-29 into the merge here two Circle gotta watch that nose going up dump that nose but during the reunification of Germany after the fall the Berlin wall and all that and the whole you know communism thing NATO Pilots had an opportunity to fight against the MiG-29 and initially the mig-29s were getting a very close to a one-to-one Kill ratio against the F-16 now the reason for that was the helmet mounted site and the Archer which NATO didn't have but once they found out uh you know defensive Maneuvers and how they wanted to defeat the Archer and the helmet mounted site turned out to be not as big a deal as they thought it would be the fight started to kind of go back to the f-16s favor as you can see here uh now I'm a little fast here but you know if I can get down into the 430s there's not a whole lot that the MiG-29 can do if I can hold them in this two-circle regime he will eventually be outrated and I will kill him here he goes through the vertical I think he's realizing he was about to be outrated he wants to do something different I think the one thing that people will often find surprising about the MiG-29 is its slow speed nose Authority and just general maneuverability at slow speeds an 829 is actually very very good and quite honestly at certain speeds in one or two turns it can give you similar nose authority to a hornet at times it can be very surprising to make 29 snows the good news is it can't do it consistently like a hornet or else it would be a very different you know fight but uh this big 29 here he's uh got the fight going into a vertical still a rate fight but it is a it is a vertical fight it's a little bit different but you can see that he's losing this as well as long as I don't get slow and I don't get sucked into a one Circle fight here because it does seem like he's a little slow he might be able to get a snapshot opportunity here get him into the HUD and a little snapshot there and I think we nicked his engine [Music] [Music] and you saw that black smoke now the black smoke has gone one of his engines has shut down so that is a differential thrust to make 29 to whether he likes it or not and we're gonna have to go into the vertical we'll come back around and kill them right I got quite the altitude advantage on him now with only one engine it's going to be very hard for him to get fast or to climb up here with me I'm gonna take a shot at him gonna try not to spray this road with all these civilian vehicles on it and I think I actually hit him there but he's still not dead [Music] whoa look at this we'll do we just see a MiG-29 do a cobra and he miraculously pulls out of that I thought he would hit the ground but you can see I mean it's basically over at this point he's just completely defensive there's nothing he can do he's just gotta wait down there I just got to be patient try to line him up for the kill although his defensive flying is pretty good it's also the differential thrust is kind of making it hard to predict kind of how this thing's gonna move nice and easy we're gonna if he tries to here considering how slow he is and how low he is he's gonna be in big trouble look at this oh my God oh my god dude there's no way he's pulling out of that yeah poor guy had no time to reject out of that head first to run into the dirt [Music] the MiG-29 is actually a very very good dog fighter again if you get slow against them he will probably kill you I've killed many f-16s in the MiG-29 just because they got too slow once they get slow it doesn't even matter if they're two-circle you can still kill them the F-16 just absolutely hates being slow and why would you into the two Circle here so we've discussed in the past the two circle is a rate fight turn rate is defined in terms of number of degrees per second of heading change on a given turn Circle the aircraft with the higher turn rate travels around the circle quicker and achieves a fire solution sooner than the aircraft with the slower turn rate that's just a fancy way of saying whoever goes around the circle faster becomes offensive quicker so that's your objective now obviously you want to sustain your AirSpeed it's a sustained rate right it's a turn fight I guess it's not to be confused with an instantaneous pull want to maintain your speed and therein lies the skill required to rate fight is to maintain that speed and try to do it better than the other guy I'm gonna pull him into the HUD here I think we might have a shot let's bring them in come on yeah yeah oh yeah oh yeah that did not look like fun he tried to give me a side profile too but I still got him he's definitely going down Splash one make 29. I love the gun sight of the F-16 very satisfying kills [Music] foreign now the MiG-29 is technically capable of super maneuverability it's just that that kind of thing doesn't really help or matter when it comes to a guns only fight it's kind of a high off four side Fox 2 thing it's probably where it's most useful looks like we're going one Circle this time he doesn't like being constantly forced to Circle but that's all right we'll just climb over the nose and slowly influence this fight to a two-star goal which you can see right here is exactly what we have we're back to the nose to tail fight we are in our downward spiral barber pole toilet bowl Call It Whatever You Like and I think a lot of people look at these rate fights and they see them as it's just two aircraft going around a circle and you know we've talked about this in the past yes it's two aircraft going around a circle if you don't understand what you're looking at you know you have winning and losing cues you're actually watching to see who's maintaining energy better you know who's trying to establish an offset two Circle you know there's all kinds of things that are happening somebody's being outrated what are they going to do what are the options you know this is what makes the The Raid fight interesting yeah it's if you don't know what you're looking at then yeah I guess that's pretty boring remember the turn rate is defined in terms of number of degrees per second of heading change on a given turn Circle that is something that I am currently doing better than him I am getting more degrees of heading change in this turn Circle than he is and that is why I am very incrementally outrating them here we've been in this raid fight for quite some time now as you can see the MiG-29 is not a crappy raid fighter it's actually pretty decent it's just that the F-16 is a little bit better and so I'm just trying to maintain my speeds here trying to be really patient because he's doing a fantastic job most other people I can outrage in you know two or three turns in the MiG-29 but we're still here let's fight but he will eventually be outrated [Music] it is inevitable they say here we go big winning cues here for me and he's gonna have to figure out what he wants to do we'll give him a lock to freak him out having his rwr screaming at him right now is certainly adding to his panic as he looks back and sees major losing cues of an F-16 pulling up on his six there he goes the desperation he's gonna climb out he's out of the raid fight let's let him just fly through the funnel here there we go he just killed himself he just put the funnel and you let him kill himself you just hold down the trigger he just flies through the funnel for you does all the hard work oh he actually tried to pull out of that too he didn't reject foreign foreign
