F-16 Defeated by SU-27 'Cobra Button' #dcs #simulation

DCS Dogfight footage between an SU-27 Flanker and an F-16 Fighting Falcon or Viper. The F-16 cant bring its nose around fast enough at the merge and the SU-27 gets the Fox-2 victory.

"What's this things turn radius?"
"🐦"
"Understood."

When facing the flanker, you always gotta be prepared. They make angles appear when you least expect them lmao

[IRLFlightSim]

Ahh yes the I don’t want anymore airspeed button

[rawatsanjaysingh]

From 400 knots to 190 de-acceleration and g forces would be tremendous.

[derangedoven]

bro just traded all his energy for 1 shot. and it fucking worked. well done.

[zezoo]

That other pilot is kicking and screaming
“WHY CANT WE HAVE THAG?!”

[DimitrijeKrunic]

Su 27: hey uhh I cant let u kill me 😅
R 73: you got cookies?

This is why super maneuverability is actually useful, it’s not just cobra to make the enemy over shoot, it allows to get get off shots that you other wise wouldn’t be able to. Also allows you to pull maneuvers that otherwise would have had you playing with squirrels

Ive wanted this game ever since i learned if its existance but refuse to spend money on it. Looks awesome

[SporkmanBW]

"I want to *understand* the enemy."

[DD-swdd]

That airspeed. Lol
The birds were flying by when you hit those brakes…never mind the other jet

[zhqrgms]

I did not expect that to end with a SEVEN foot tall telephone pole.

[fatdoi]

that turn lost almost 120kn.... if the missile missed, the flanker's dead as it lost so much energy

[mosurikutenpi]

"I'll do anything I'll do whatever it takes to-"
*Cobra Button*

[averagestudent]

Soviet Union pilot: What is the turn rate on this jet!
Designer: Yes!

[ixdemonstudios]

War Thunder players: “ STUPID RUSSIAN MISSILE SPAMMER NO SKILL”

[MrTefe]

Friendly reminder to people that Swedish pilots invented the cobra in 1960's

[honkhonk]

I feel like the Cobra Button is the equivalent of using En Passante in chess

[Callum]

Never been able to use the cobra button without immediately g locking

When your opponent is in a plane that can literally teleport to your six, it's better to go hit the ground yourself
