Real Fighter Pilot Dogfights Multiple Iranian F-14 Jets | Digital Combat Simulator

About this video

Max simulates a combat scenario in Digital Combat Simulator where he engages multiple Iranian F-14 fighters while flying an F-16 loaded with bombs. He describes dogfighting techniques as he maneuvers against the F-14s, eventually defeating them through a combination of missile and gun engagements. Max emphasizes that carrying a full bomb load made the fight relatively even between the F-16 and F-14s, and he also engages ground-based anti-aircraft artillery during the mission.
