Real Fighter Pilot Blasts Iran's Jets in Combat Sim with F-15C | Part 4

About this video

Max flies an F-15C in a combat simulator against six Iranian F-5s (HESA Kowsars) in his fourth attempt at this scenario. He describes the F-15C as an older, more analog variant of the F-15E he flew in real life, equipped with eight AMRAAM missiles and strong air-to-air capability. Max engages multiple targets with his radar and missiles, encountering radar tracking difficulties due to closely-packed contacts, and ultimately suffers hydraulic failure after one of the simulated enemy aircraft hits him.

Key takeaways

• Max explains that the F-15C is an older, more analog variant of the F-15E with strong air-to-air weaponry, carrying eight AMRAAM missiles
• Max demonstrates that fighter pilots develop neck issues from constantly looking down at instruments and moving their heads in the cockpit
• Max recounts that radar systems can lose tracking when multiple contacts are tightly packed together, requiring the pilot to rebuild the picture
