When IL2 isn't near as good as AH imo

Certainly not the intensity of MNM dogfights.

No icons is certainly a lot harder. That's why they invented radar and IFF.  ;)

I actually like the icons along the screen edge. 

I wish that was a DCS option.  Gives you a hint there is something there but keeps the queue out of the view and you still have to search a little.

That might be a reasonable compromise.  AW had something like that too if I remember.

Only for Soy-Boys who fight BVR dots on a MFD. ;)

Brother and I have been having much fun taking out the SA-3, SA-6 and SA-11 sites at Damascus and then taking on the Mig-21s launching there. You're too close to target them with the MFD. Switch to Dogfight override, lock them with boresight mode in your HMD at your 3 o'clock and fox 3. I had great fun dodging 3 SAMs yesterday while engaged with a Mig.

It is exciting to put a SAM on your 3/9 line and wait for the right moment to break hard into him. Watching a near miss is exhilarating.

I shoot down aircraft (Mig-21, Su-25, Mirage, M2000) with the Huey. Dodge SAM's with it also.

Whenever a toxic, psychotic, self-aggrandizing drama queen stalks me to other forums to harass me, it just gives me the urge to post another cinematic.
Maybe this will be useful to give certain people ideas on how to make  better videos.

Just to pick a nit, the F-14 usually did not use the burner on a carrier takeoff.

I'm sure they are just doing what the original film had in it.
