But… which ocean? Atlantic? SCS? Pacific? Persian Gulf? So many oceans to choose from! I joke. Great idea though. It complicates things that the Su-30SM doesn’t carry the R-37M like Su-35/Su-57 can and the best missile it can carry (in DCS) is the R-77M. Makes things a challenge at range for the Su-30! Hopefully GS will do this! I for one really enjoy the longer range engagements and wish we could get more of them.

This fight feels so much different than a lot of your others. Maybe it's the 5th Gen's ability to defeat the missiles or avoid lock. But it just seemed you both were pushing in harder than most of your BVR fights I've seen.

This is one of your craziest fight ever. So many close calls and crazy moments. Can't even tell who is gonna shoot down who at any moment. Even missiles were hitting each other and that is really rare even after years of watching your videos. I really enjoy those moments, keep up the good work.

The tension is almost unbearable! Thanks for the video.

Those missiles were coming basically through your cockpit, you were insanely lucky in every encounter. Once even your missile saved you and shot the enemy's. :D Nice fight as always.

Imagine being so stealthy missiles don't fuze on you but they will fuze on your missiles.

That was an intense fight between the Raptor and Felon. How about doing one, upgraded old school Mig 31foxhound with it's R37 long range missile vs F22 Raptor with it's Aim 9x/Aim 120 long range missile and some ground defenses on both sides. That would be interesting

The first production model of SU 57 has the RCS around 0.01m2 (as size of the human fist) so it slightly/improved its RCS by applying 30% RAM coating on it, but still it has no stealthily as the F22 or F35 which as the RCS around 0.005m2 (as the size of a pinball F35) and 0.0001m2 (as the size of a humming bird F22). But still SU 57 has upgrade 6 radar that may able to detect stealth planes at a close range with the help of L and X band which has more stronger EW and ECM jammer frequency (SU 57 has stronger frequency and slightly improved EW and ECM jamming system than the F22 but still the F22 has an advance EW system making slightly advantage for F22) that can jam the radar and radio signals from enemy aircraft. Even that SU 57 has 2 DIRCM that was made to dodge or outtake an infrared missile with or without using flare, then SU 57 has IRST aka OLS 50M with range of 100 range to detect the heat signature of stealth fighter and the degrees of radius around 90* and 180* is able to look on side ways and up ways to find the heat signature of enemy fighter. So yes the first production model of SU 57 is improves a lot, but still it needs to improve it.

43 seconds ago :0 I was actually recently thinking about rewatching some of the F-22 vs SU-57 videos but looks like I got a new one to watch now 😃

Bro, your videos are just so friggin awesome! I will never be able to fly one of these beautiful birds irl, and I just don't have the time and resources to commit to DCS but man, do I enjoy watching these videos!

Zero is a good pilot, do more with him!

7:35 130 million dollars hits some trees

I love that epic music when you show the replay. So good.

It looks like turning into the missile to minimize your signature might be the best defensive tactic.

1:45 i don’t know but the missile hitting the mountain right after launch made me laugh a little

Man I feel like your missiles constantly hitting that mountain provided enough entertainment for two videos. I can't be the only one who that amusing.

I had no idea AMMRAM armed right off the rail in regards to your shot into the ground. All in all a pretty straight up knife fight between those two.

11:54 The reason is that the Felon was in a slightly nose-down attitude, decreasing its altitude, which the AMRAAM just blindly copies by holding a constant LOS (or, more correctly, minimizing the time derivative of the size of the angle along its LOS to the target). It's similar to why you can 'drive' all Fox-3 missiles (in DCS) into (even completely flat) terrain, because ED either believes that missiles shouldn't have full 6-DOF IMU's, nor be able to measure or calculate their altitude via any other means (except for specific lofting logic, I guess?), or just doesn't want to implement some basic ground-avoidance logic. Furthermore, since even the most advanced AAMs (in DCS) still use a variable-gain PN guidance law (which *only* uses LOS rate and closure velocity information, with range just acting to vary the gain), together with an attitude control system that is little more than a PID controller extended with simple linear filters, and a (very strangely implemented) Kalman state estimator. This results in wasteful damped oscillations about the commanded attitude and is also why the AMRAAM does this weird endgame manuever where it will suddenly pull into the target, even if it has a good speed advantage and the target is flying straight and level. It doesn't even calculate the most efficient path to the most likely impact point (which would end in a straight line for a non-maneuvering target). I would *love* to have missiles (or even just the ability to enable an option which allows us to use missile mods with custom guidance and control laws ) that only cache in their energy when they need to, that calculate an optimal flight altitude depending on the target's parameters and that don't *easily* run into the ground. Even if the missile has to break lock and use up some energy to pop up, then start scanning around the predicted target direction to re-acquire the lock, which will obviously lower its Pk, that's still infinitely better than running into the ground miles away from the target.

Entering visual range is a failure mode for BVR strategy and tech, and it is a failure mode you can readily expect when you pit two similarly matched systems _against_ each other.

pro tip for the f-15 avionics, gun mastermode is the best way to quickly lock targets visually, much less finnicky than vscan and a bigger scan area than bore
