500 x Su-27 Vs F-15 Dogfight

[MigBuster]

Epic video............the guy explains how he did it at the end - was filmed at about 1/8 speed and then sped up.

That is utterly sick!

His system must hate him!

My thing is how did he avoid collisions? AI is pretty dumb when it comes to flying near other aircraft.

Epic! But he didn't say who won or by what score.

But even so I thought it was a good video reminded me of the Battle of Britain film (1969) aerial combat sequences. Planes everywhere. !!!!!

As it's come up as a common question, usually the F-15c's Won, sometimes the Su-27's did, the winner usually snowballed towards the end leaving something like 30 aircraft on the winning side and 1 or 2 loosing aircraft surviving. They were all armed with 4x Heat seeking missiles, to keep the fight close in.

I wonder what the outcome would be like in real life. The missiles would be seeing a sky full of countermeasures as well as tons of alternate targets. The confusion and target management would be nearly impossible to overcome until the numbers thinned out. Only World War 2 saw air battles of this magnitude. A strength of the Battle of Britain sim is the ability to get a taste of flying towards a sky blackened by bomber formations and escorting fighters at great playable frame rates.

The slanted kill count makes some sense due ti N-Squared Law.

There was a study that was saying, with numbers or participants increasing in a dogfight  the difference of technology becomes less and less decisive, and losses  will be more close to equal.  Out of 500 ending with 30 on either side is quite a result here...

As the numbers get down to a certain breaking point (of the above formula),  the fight decisively turns in favor of either side as if the fight had started with that smaller number.
