Learning Nose-To-Nose Dogfights | Intro To High Aspect BFM | DCS | Part 9

Going into a dogfight where neither you or your opponent has an advantage is very different from the BFM topics we've covered so far. In this video we'll go over how you can set up neutral (also called high aspect) BFM exercises. This will be important once we go deeper into the topic later on in the series.

We'll also cover one of the fundamentals of winning a high aspect fight: the lead turn. In addition to dogfights the lead turn is important for doing stern conversions which is the bread and butter of fighters protecting a nation's air space. You'll learn how to master those lead turns as well in this video.
