The first:
The Fight is a pop-punk band founded in 2000 in Dudley, UK. The band consists of singer and guitarist Kate Turley (a member of the 21st Century Girls six years earlier), drummer Jack Turley (her younger brother), bassist Matt Vale and guitarist Scott Milner (formerly of Wolverhampton-based pop-punk troupe ZeroPointSix). In 2002, New Found Glory’s road crew overheard them busking outside a gig in Leicester. When NFG’s guitarist, Chad Gilbert, heard their record he invited them to support them in London and took their demo to several labels. Finally, they got signed by Fat Wreck Records who put out their first EP, Home Is Where The Hate Is, in 2003. Their first album Nothing new since Rock 'n' Roll was released in 2004 by Repossession Records. The Fight have toured the UK and the United States with bands such as Rancid, Yellowcard, Sugarcult, Brand New and the Starting Line and played on the Warped Tour in summer 2005.
On 22nd June 2006 it was announced Matt had left the band for personal reasons and has now been replaced by Tom Calder (also formerly of Zero Point Six) in time for the band's July UK Tour.

The Fight Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Someone tell me not to worry
Someone let me know we'll be ok
That someone's on the way
Time goes by and I get older
Tell me why the wiser never stays
It always fades away
And I run in circles all around my head
No one to run against

Love tell me what to do, I keep losing the truth
Truth tell me who to be, I feel tired and free
Freedom take me anywhere, anywhere I will be loved
Love tell me what to do
And who to become
Lights turn on then fade to darkness
Soon enough they'll come back on again
But one day that will end
So I lead myself much deeper
Something tells me we were almost there
But then it disappeared
And I run in circles all around my head
Long gone and back again
Love tell me what to do, I keep losing the truth
Truth tell me who to be, I feel tired and free
Freedom take me anywhere, anywhere I will be loved
Love tell me what to do

Love tell me what to do, I keep losing the truth
Truth tell me who to be, I feel tired and free
Freedom take me anywhere, anywhere I will be loved

Love tell me what to do
And who to become

Overall Meaning

The song "Circles" by The Fight is a lament about the cyclical nature of life and the search for something that will give us direction and purpose. The singer is filled with worry and uncertainty, but is looking for someone to tell them that everything will be okay, that someone is on the way to help them. As time goes by, the singer becomes older and wiser, but still feels lost and alone. They run in circles around their own head, searching for answers that never seem to come.

The song is a plea for love, truth, and freedom. The singer wants love to guide them, to tell them what to do and who to become. They feel like they are losing the truth, that they don't know who they are supposed to be. They feel tired and free, but they don't know how to find their way. They want freedom to take them anywhere, as long as they can find love along the way.

In the end, the singer realizes that life is like a circle, with lights turning on and fading to darkness. They know that one day the lights will go out for good, and they want to make the most of the time they have left. They hope that they were almost there, that they were close to finding the answers they were looking for. But for now, they run in circles, searching for love, truth, and freedom.

This is the first video of yours I've come across, and I'm annoyed I didn't find your channel sooner. Love the simple straight forward way you give the info. You've just got a new subscriber, and I'm going to binge watch all your other videos for the next 7 hours since I'm working the night shift. Just wanted to let you know I appreciate the work put in to make this content, and think it's among the highest quality available.

The Air Combat Tutorial Library

Glad you found it Brandon! My channel pretty much relies on word of mouth as I really don't post much anywhere, so it's not surprising that you haven't found it until now. Good to know you like what you see though, I work with an ex-USAF fighter pilot on these so if they meet his approval then I know they're good enough for all of you :-)

Hey there, thanks for this video. It is good to see how much effort you put in your videos.=)

Unrelated: how about you make a tutorial about formation flying? Mastering the art of formation flying is a key to become a better fighter pilot. I ask you, because I think your are the best for the job ;)
I would love to see a video like this and I hope you might consider to make a tutorial about this topic someday.

Any advice in how to counter a two circle fight against two bandits?

In Rise of Flight, I will often run into AI that will break and make circles in opposite directions so that if I chase one, the other gets my 6.

Appreciate your thoughts as always Greg! I think it's probably due to me not making these types of videos in War Thunder or DCS where the player base is larger. My channel relies on word of mouth for those most part as I don't post outside the Il-2 forums, so at least I know that those who see what I make like to stick around and I'm happy for that :-)

Greg's Airplanes and Automobiles

@The Air Combat Tutorial Library I plan to mention this channel in my next video. It's on maneuverability with a strong focus on sustained turn performance. I'll mention this video for a complete explanation on one vs. two circle fights.

I want you to know the same way a British accent sounds like it fits in some gentleman's club explaining the tribulations of aristocracy, there's something Inherently confidence inducing when it comes to an Aussie accent covering anything that has to do with a fight.

I would suggest avoiding dog fighting altogether if possible. Assuming you spot him first having a speed and altitude advantage will have you in favour of Winning every engagement. If not abort or try to get close to him unnoticed. Try to avoid head on similar altitude engagements. Diving on him ether head on or from behind will give U a great advantage. If your diving head on toward him make your dive short just enough to convince him that u are about to attack. His option is to ether manuver away or climb up to engage head on. let him ether manuver and bleed speed or meet U half way in his climb up to you. Level of and begin a half back loop climb to get back onto his 6...Bam hes dead. If diving in from behind your apponent, reguardless if U hit the target or not. Let him brake while you climb. He's lost a grate deal of speed with nothing to show for it and you have converted your energy back into altitude for another attack. that's why in my opinion the bf 109 at least in the first couple of years of the war was better than the spit. Energy fighting or intercepting will always beat dog fighting.

Jajalaatmaar

5y↑1

"Avoid dogfighting". Someone flies cowardly German planes...

Bill Dewahl

5y↑1

Well if you get to dictate the energy states of both airplanes you've already won. I wouldn't assume you start every fight from a higher energy state than your opponent or that you'll be able to "abort" provided you don't. You will at some point be defensive.

p.s. The 109 was almost always better than the spit. Particularly in the style of evaluate, hit, and run fighting you're describing. Right up until and after the end of the war. The amount of skilled german pilots post BoB however, is another story.

Octon

Nice video. I have 2 main questions. I am in a tournament atm. Its a 1v1 tourney with cold pass and then its on. Same aircraft. I have fairly experienced tho I have taken almost 8 years off so relearning a lot of stuff. Do you recommend I use trim + flaps in a rate fight? Mind you the aircraft is the same as your opponents. What I do is do maximum tail heavy trim + flaps in a turn but then I level out trim again and reset flaps when I am not turning. A few of my mates seem to think using trim in a fight is not advisable. I always use trim sometimes it makes it easier to line up the shot especially if the opponent is higher than you. What are your thoughts on that? Should I use trim in a turn fight? Or just flaps? I tend to only use flaps if there is no alternative and I have to turn fight. Generally, I am an energy fighter. However, this tournament, ppl seem to be out turning me in the same plane in the same energy state. I'm using a X52 with a spring mod which makes the stick tougher to turn. I don't think it's been effecting my performance but I thought I would mention it.

The Air Combat Tutorial Library

Rate fight - No flaps unless you need to bleed excess speed. Radius fight - Yeah you can use flaps if you have to. Trim? It shouldn't matter. All it will affect is the amount of control pressure you need when flying the airplane.

great video!!!

DEADBEEF

So an energy fighter should always choose to go vertical against an angles fighter when merging head on?

CJ Young

I have absolutely no need for this information but I have been drawn into this once I found out that if you go into the merge it truly is the thunderdome two men enter only one man leaves it's extremely savage but very noble at the same time.

P.S isn't the internet amazing

Gabriel Sistona Moca

will this work on modern air-air combat ? because Ive seen documentary in the gulf war an Iraqi mirage did this then he recieve a sidewinder right in the belly splitting the aircraft in half

btw cool videos.

The Air Combat Tutorial Library

All the BFM lessons are shown so you can understand the principles of them without considering the specific aircraft involved. These lessons are still valid for modern air combat. I just preferred using WWII airplanes because their airspeed provides a sweet spot for explaining BFM principles in my opinion.

Cinnamontoast999

Just found this channel, subbed!

Sofian El mabrouk

Hey! I have a question, what is the difference between Turn Rate and Turn Radius?

The Air Combat Tutorial Library

2y↑1

Its how fast you fly a full circle (rate) vs how tight the circle is (radius)

Sofian El mabrouk

@The Air Combat Tutorial Library thanks :)

Raz Taz

Once in a fight like this and at a disadvantage, (the 109 seems to always get behind eventually) what can a yak1 do about it? Diving doesn't seem to do much he just follows.

coen

6y↑1

Raz Taz i use flaps to quickly turn and get some shot into him.

I Fly Central

6y↑1

Raz Taz A typical rule of thumb is that the 109 has a higher climb rate than the Yak-1. So a Yak-1 at a lower energy state is not going to be able to manuver successfully in a vertical fight against the 109. The best thing to do is to force the 109 into a flat turning fight.

One way to do this is to take the fight to the deak, the 109 will no longer be able to manuver as agresivly in the vertical due to the proximity to the ground. This will give the Yak-1 with it's lighter wing loading a substantial advantage. The 109 has three options in this case. Run away, make long sweeping attacks at high speed, or attempt to turn fight.

Ultimately the skill of the pilots involved plays a big part. All that I have said assumes pilots of an equal skill level.

The Air Combat Tutorial Library

Just to add to what Luxi and Central wrote. At that point you need to make yourself a difficult target to shoot at (so begin some defensive jinking as he gets closer) and try to force the 109 to overshoot using scissors or any combination of maneuvers to have him end up in front of you. This may not necessarily allow you to shoot at them right away, but it's at least taking the pressure off you to allow you to regain some energy, extend away, or basically just buy yourself some time.

In particular, if you are diving you can use the 109s airspeed against them. At the higher diving airspeeds a 109 will not be able to outturn you generally, so once you are at high speed with the 109 close enough you can do a turn while watching him and he won't be able to follow. If he goes uphill in a climb instead that gives you time and separation for you to extend away from them effectively so hopefully they lose sight of you. Either way you get some breathing space.

Raz Taz

Good answers guys. I'll keep them in mind in my next session ;)

Burt Pilon

Is it still called 2C fight when both circles have the same center point, i.e you're chasing each other's tail in a circle?

The Air Combat Tutorial Library

If you're both still nose to tail then it will still be 2C.

Is a one circle fight basically the same as flat scissors?

A flat scissors is all 1C fights yep! Because you keep reversing and turning into each other this forces it to be 1C

Loc L.

I dont understand what the difference really is, it seems to me that, no matter what, the best turning plane will win the fight no matter if it was 1 circle or 2 circles. So what is this about? Are there situations where a plane can be better in one but not the other?

Trippy72Spore

Turning is about 2 factors - rate (speed at which you get your nose around) and radius (space it takes to turn). So imagine a jet fighter (fast rate, large radius) vs a propeller fighter (half the rate of the jet, but much smaller radius). The jet would "win" (get the prop in its sights first) in a 2 circle fight - it would happen just before the jet completes its circle, while the prop was still less than half-way through.

Whereas the prop would have the advantage in a one circle fight - it will have the jet in its sights after turning a bit over 90 degrees - the jet may have turned over 180 degrees in the same time, but will still have at least another 90 degrees to turn to point at the prop.

Edit: to help visualize it, consider a "stationary" prop plane that can turn on the spot (zero radius). In a 2 circle fight the jet would be perfectly behind the prop at the end of the jet's circle (jet turns 360, prop 180, advantage jet). In a 1 circle, the prop would have the jet in its sights after turning exactly 90 degrees, because the jet would have completed a semi-circle and be exactly 90 degrees off the prop's initial heading. The jet will still have to complete another 180 degrees to complete the circle and get the prop back in its sights.

Hope this helps!

you are breathtaking !

How do they turn in opposite directions in one circle. While the videos shows them Turning in the same direction?

Greg Peterson

49w

Why wouldn't have a smaller radius help in a rate fight? Wouldn't you get around quicker than the plane with the larger radius since it's less distance traveled?

The Air Combat Tutorial Library

49w

The circumference of circle A could be three times as large as circle B...but that doesn't matter in a rate fight. A rate fight is all about who can get around their circle the fastest because its measured in degrees per second. So if you pull as hard as you can, sure you'll make your turn radius smaller but the rate at which you move around that 360° in a circle slows down. The opponent flying at a faster airspeed will have a larger radius, but if their rate is faster they will move around their circle faster.

Adrian Turcu

I must be one of the dumber people here, because I still don't get it. Are turn radius and turn rate not an expression of the same thing? If your airplane has a tight turn rate, then by every passing second he can turn more degrees. If he can turn more degrees, then it results in a tighter circle. So a machine superior in rate is superior in turn radius. So there are not two different preferred strategies.... But that can't be right! Help please :)

The Air Combat Tutorial Library

It's ok Adrian, the topic can be confusing...I'm not sure if you skipped my other videos, but this BFM series works on the building block concept where I assume you've watched/understood my previous content so I don't have videos rehashing the same thing each time. I cover the concept of turn radius and rate in BFM #3 - Turn Circles and Turning Room.

If you've seen the video below already then maybe the wiki link will help as well.

The Air Combat Tutorial Library

If you ever have any questions feel free to ask.

LosBerkos

I don't understand what 'same' direction means in the context of turning at opposite courses.

The Air Combat Tutorial Library

It means that you're both turning in the same direction. Ie - You are either both in left turns or both in right turns which creates a two circle fight. However, if you both turn in different directions, meaning one of you turns left and the other turns right, that creates a one circle fight.
