Just yesterday I watched a few "real X pilot flies X in a simulator" videos. One of my favorites was a real Rafale pilot flying a Mirage 2000C in a dogfight in DCS [1]. Amazing instincts and skill.

There's a Youtube channel with a former US submarine sonarman. Here's his channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9bMgCQyFNaMPsK9GtzM5dQ Watching him play in a submarine video game as an Astute SSN is interesting as he tries to dodge torpedoes using noise makers and obstacles is interesting due his commentary and tactics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHnt_uJqTUA


That was great! Thank you so much for a recommendation! If you have any more, pls share :)


Are there any good videos like this where the dogfights are many-on-many instead of just one-on-one?

I'm not a pilot, and my knowledge of dogfighting is next to non-existent, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but I'd expect that it would be much harder to utterly dominate one's opponents when there are a lot of planes in the air, any one of which could take you out when you think you've got an advantage on someone else.

A busy dogfight would probably be more exciting to watch, too.

Tons, yes, here's one to get your started:

Superior Dogfight: 4 x Navy F-18 vs 4 x Air Force F-15 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80rDX3pANeE

pretty strange slow pace and large landscape with a imposing sense of death coming
