On this channel we like to do a lot of dogfighting most videos are some sort of dogfight between 2 different aircraft as we explore their different capabilities. From time to time I like to dabble in Virtual Reality, I think VR is a great new technology and I love to show that stuff off for the channel from time to time.

If you enjoy war thunder or Microsoft flight simulator 2020 or even dogfighting in Battlefield 2042, consider getting yourself into Digital Combat Simulator by Eagle Dynamics, the Combat side of Aviation with the BVR and Dogfights really provides a different and interesting perspective on aviation. You can fly all kinds of combat aircraft including the F-16, F-15, F-14, JF-17, Su-27, Mig-29, Mirage and the F-18 Hornet along with many other aircraft and helicopters like the Ka-50 and Mi-8.

So as always please keep in mind the F-35 is simply a mod and does not represent the classified nature of the aircraft, and we make fun of Fat Amy but she's not designed to fight like this so given that fact I think it did decently well against one of the best dogfighters of all time, big thank you to Shotgun for flying the F-35 for us. See you in the next one guys, Much Love.

[TomSarh]

Shotgun might not be winning but there's no doubt he's an excellent pilot

[jporter]

The F-35 with internal stores vs a combat loaded F-16 would be a different story, especially in a one circle fight.

[geedub]

That was pretty cool when Shotgun managed to glide his already dead bird long enough to get a few rounds off on you before his bird totally stalled and had to bail. That pilot did a really awesome job, especially considering what he was up against.

[MADZ]

The f-35 was designed to not be seen but to be able to give situational awareness to everybody else and also to be used as a strike weapon. I think everybody in the comments knows this. Like GS said it can still fight if it has to but it does not want to lol

[musman]

A f35 HOBS fox 2 fight would be interesting to see

[krabzy]

Growling can you do a F-14 or f-18 scramble video where you need to take off from a carrier to intercept longhsot in a random jet?

[jakobcarlsen]

I worked on the F-16 for 20 years. Only times it flew clean like you fly it was test flights and airshows.

[guyperson]

A combat loaded F-35 would annihilate a combat loaded viper in a dogfight due to the fact that the F-35 carries its armaments internally. These gun only dogfights in clean configurations don’t really mean anything in terms of real world application. Still very entertaining to watch though! It’s just kinda disappointing when people make conclusions about the f-35 from videos like this.

[flaxseedoil]

Have lived next to F-16s for 30 years, F-35s have been showing up lately. Because they are so much louder I can always tell when the F-35s are up. No complaints, March ARB is a great neighbor and we get free airshows 😁

[radiack]

the same criticism made to the F35 were made with the F16, the only difference was social media at the time (1970s)

[Hubba]

The F-35’s machine spirit raged at being shot and tried to lock you up even after it’s pilot ejected!

[dimitrispatsiaouras]

Hey I think that the flight model underrepresents the F-35 . Yes it is nowhere close to the F-16 in the rate fight but the AoA performance of the F-35 is way better than you think . I suggest watching the F-35 demo you can see it can pull a massive amount of AoA . It wouldn't really change the outcome of the fight but the playing field would be more even . Any way great video .

[Andy_XT]

The F-Teens are really something. They marked an era and generated so many aircraft enthusiasts.

[nomarspaulding]

When you played the slowmo replay of the first kill, and I saw the cannon shells just ripping apart that wing and tail end of the F-35, I instantly though, "Gonna need some flex tape for this one."

[a.k.]

Have you done any BVR content with the F-35? I'd be curious to see it perform in the environment it was designed for, even though we don't know it's true specs.

[rexmann]

"I don't think fat Amy can pull out that buddy."
*BOOM*

"That's why they call her fat Amy" 🤣😆🤣😆😆🤣

[kwkfortythree]

Read accounts of Norwegian f35 pilots about eating clean F16 in dogfights

[SPak-rtgb]

Just saw two F-15's practice dogfighting yesterday while out fishing in the Owens Valley Calif. looked like they were doing figure 8's and the noise was tremendous

[pilotpowell]

Is it possible in DCS to put the F35 in the type of environment that it was designed to fight in?
