Getting out to the location of an intruder is a crucial part of Air Supremacy. But you don't want to do this haphazardly. That's a good way to get shot down. So how do you do it right?

Real world fighter pilots use a process known as a baseline intercept to reach a target in a position of advantage. That's what we'll cover in this video.

    Once again, I've been doing the basic technique for ages without knowing the specifics or terminology. Especially in the Zone 5 campaign. My thought process was "close range, build turning room, conseal intentions if possible, turn for advantage"
  • @VeracityMedia
    Your attention to detail is second to none. I’ve leaned sooo much. Thank you. Cheers 🍻

    Thank you for your content! Great teacher, at least for my mind!

    Pretty straight forward once you understand the terminology and geometry. I am a basic virtual pilot trying to move into the intermediate stage. At basic entry level intercepts, I get on burner head on until I am at max range, fire to force him into defensive then use that time to work my way into his six. This only works if you have longer range weapons than your enemy. Because they shoot too, now I am cranking and chaffing/flaring and unable to maneuver into a superior position. Great video to visualize what is needed for a successful intercept

  • @lucamoretti9985
    Awesome video as always. Very informative. I have red some of this stuff in CNATRA manual, have you used any specific manual? Also another question: toward the end of the vid (10:43) you say that putting the fighter in in CATA will increase AA, should it remain constant if you are in collision angle?
  • @TheIrishAce
    Amazing video as always! Strange request, is there a way to download all your videos for listening offline?
  • @raphaelstrels4671
    Thanks again Mike for the great video. Are there any resources to find out the canopy codes für F/A-18 and F-16 or is it just trial&error?
  • @sandyn9965
    Amazing...can u please help and make a graph of 2v2 BVR equipped aircraft for better understanding of concept of Missile interception envelope,RMax etc.
