DCS: Basic Fighter Maneuvers Part 4

With the J-11A coming out when FC3 gets updated, F/A-18C coming out in a few months, the Persian Gulf map in May, and the F-14 coming later this year it's time to learn a few more maneuvers.

The first is the Immelmman turn and the next is the Rudder Reversal. Both can be done by jets as well as prop planes but the Rudder Reversal is most effective with prop planes. So while we wait for those new planes and map to come out give these maneuvers a try. Learn them well and you'll be a good pilot in a fight.

Enjoy.

Now that 2.5 is in a stable release and we're getting ever closer to the Early Access of the F/A-18C it's time for a new set of maneuvering videos to help you train. So, here's the next two for you to learn. Break Turning and the famous Split-S. You'll find them both very useful during a dog fight. Especially if you have a good wingman there to pick off the enemy following you into one of these maneuvers.

Take a look. Give them a try. And happy hunting.

DCS: Basic Fighter Maneuvers Part 1

As promised to all those who have been following the DCS posts here is the start of the BFM or Basic Fighter Maneuvers series. At first glance this will all seem to be so simple that it's not worth noting. However, to try the more advanced maneuvers you first need to get good at the basics. I've watched every single on of these videos and it did help me in dogfighting. So sit back, relax, and pay attention and you'll see the usefulness for each one (especially when you combine the maneuvers in combat).

I'll post the first two videos now and next time I'll add two more.
Enjoy.
