@@traviswalker8933 Yes, but not the early jets. It would be interesting to see how the A-10 fares against the early jets and how long it takes for the jet fighters to heavily out-perform the A-10.
I know those were A models but even those are have much better A2A performance than A10. T would be heavier but Archers would be enough in that case. A Su-25 is always a threat to A-10
Thank you for finally doing a10 dogfight even if you didn't survive. I think you handle it well considering the situation. My grandfather was a rf4 reconnaissance pilot they didn't have the luxury of weapons of their solution was don't get seen or run. The best quote I've seen is "my f**k around is running out, but my finding out is almost there" for the a10
As Sgt Elias said in ‘Platoon’, “You're carrying too much weight, troop!”… If you know Frogfoots and helicopters are going to be in the air then a reduced load of 4x AAM, 4x Maverick and 2x CBU would have made you far lighter and more manoeuvrable. Maybe a couple of lighter GBU 500lb bombs if actually required for the mission but realistically only take what you need to complete the tasking - I used to make the same mistake loading my Su25 with everything it could carry, only to find it handled like a lorry rather than a sports car!
I mean, realistically, why is an A-10 having to dogfight Frogfoots outnumbered 2-to-1 when a pair of F-18s just went by? Even if they were winchester on missiles and guns the frogfoots don't know that and they'd provide a credible threat!
Hey GS, can we get an F15EX vs Eurofighter BVR match since Poland is considering the two? I think it could be a pretty neat duel with the sheer amount of AIM120D vs Meteor
And this is why I keep coming back. You never know when a mission is going to go tits up. I'm not happy you got ganked. I'm happy the outcome is always a perfect score. Well done GS. Keep'em flyin' and we'll keep watchin. Semper Fi.
You were doing good with that crash landing attempt but something (probably 30mm BMP fire) took one of your vertical stabs out, that caused the plane to sideslip. You can see you kept both stabs after the missile hit, but one was missing as you tried to set the plane down.
Admittedly I don't know if he does his commentary live or in post, but I can attest that if you're doing live commentary it really slows down your reaction time and decision making.
God this is so awesome and satisfying to watch! Never retire the A-10 just Improve them and make them more survivable from hits. Cause it is already the most survivable jet in History!
I'd love to see a video of trying to intercept the venerable SR-71 Blackbird with the best technology 2023 has to offer. Does an updated MiG-31 with R-37s even stand a chance at Mach 3+ and climbing through angels 80? Modernised F-14 with AMRAAM-D3s, AMRAAM-ERs, or speculative AIM-260s?
The F-14 would make no sense against the SR-71. That's friendly fire. We have to see the technology the adversaries have developed to intercept such an aircraft.
Hey @GrowlingSidewinder While in air to air mode and with the HUD selected as SOI, you can slew the Aim 9 seeker head (circle) onto targets with the TDC
1983 was on exercise in west germany. went to get some sunshine/smoke in a clearing after a week under forest canopy. got spotted by a pair of A10s. was in awe as i .. me .. alone.. got straffed by these monsters. the way they jinked and jived was amazing
I was randomly suggested your A-10 vs. Su-25 video the other day, where you grudgingly showed how one-sided the match-up was in the A-10's favor. Seems like the ghost of that video came for revenge.
@TheLordsOfTheDucks yes he's stated that this in previous videos. That's why he enjoys when he plays against other people because they are set to do a task and can change what they do anytime
Love the A10 episodes. The A10 is so special. It carries an array of weapons on a mission to wipe out the enemy on the ground and even air to air weapons. Its screen display is easy to follow. This plane has saved so many lives.
I'd like to see an all F-35 strike mission, with some acting like wild weasels, some high as overwatch, some suppressing with harms, and the rest delivering munitions on the targets.

Do you fly rc planes at all?
Day 61 of asking for A-10 vs F-86, or vs a series of different generations of jet fighter.
@@potatoskunk5981he did do A-10 vs F-22 and Su-57. What else do you want? He even did P-51 vs Su-57 and F-22 many times.
@@Shoot_and_ScootI don't think that's the subject of his channel.
@@traviswalker8933 Yes, but not the early jets. It would be interesting to see how the A-10 fares against the early jets and how long it takes for the jet fighters to heavily out-perform the A-10.
"I don't think he's a threat to me" famous last words
Kaaaaboom
Every time he says that i cringe

He was not. His wingman, however, was.
Sometimes I get the feeling GS makes mistakes on purpose.
Love the allied tactics here. F-18's in the sky? Nah, let the A10 dogfight lmao
Was thinking the same thing soon as the SU25s engaged and he was short on AAMs. "Where the damn hornets at?"
@@danielbrown9368 I'm assuming they bombed the convoy and high tailed it back to their carrier.
Short legs lol, gotta go home
It’s kinda nice to see one of your missions end the way mine normally do 😊.
LOL
14:32 The splat sound fucking killed me. I was mid drink, and it all came out of my nose. I was not prepared. 🤣🤣🤣
🤣
I loved this one. It’s amazing how the tables can turn so quickly.
Don't wanna be the poor guy standing underneath the A-10 when it jettisons 5-6 tons of ordnance 😂
At least the fuse won’t engage
And those 30 mm cannon. The way he unloaded it on that KA 52 is overkill. No thank you!

Apparently that Su-25 didn't hear about the "no head-on shots when merging" rule for the channel.
😂😂

@@notsureyou I'm aware he did that but that was F15C and AIM-260 vs EF 2K with Meteor.
I'm suggesting F15EX and AIM-120D vs EF 2K with Meteor
6:25 the sound on those Gophers is pretty good.
The cinematic effects, man - so good! I loved 02:15 when the armour rolls over the "camera". Great content, GS. More A-10 stuff please, btw :)
The “Squish” sound effect was awesome when you hit the ground
Ohh, she's rollin' on me...
That had me lolling!

Thanks for another great Warthog fix! Please keep them coming (and don't die)
14:33 the way he got smashed to the ground 😂😂
If you lose the displays, try starting the APU. Sometimes it brings them back. It also helps with control.
I was SHOCKED he didn't immediately jettison stores after eating that missile!
Admittedly I don't know if he does his commentary live or in post, but I can attest that if you're doing live commentary it really slows down your reaction time and decision making.
The A-10 in contested airspace (aka a target).
But.but-we told the enemy it was a no-fly-zone?!?!
Lesson learned: always take your enemy seriously.

@@Archer89201 didn't he do that?
Others have done this many times.
@@benrichey2593 Others aren't of interest to me.
Definitely enjoyed this video. Nice to see a serious challenge for an a-10. Keep posting a-10 videos!
Hey @GrowlingSidewinder While in air to air mode and with the HUD selected as SOI, you can slew the Aim 9 seeker head (circle) onto targets with the TDC
great that you show the losses, not just the wins
I love the splat noise you made when you hit the ground!

Hard luck bro! That missile from that Frogfoot was jacked. Should not have happened, but, ya know!
Your dismount was graceful.
I guess you'd have to say he stuck the landing, too.😳
@@darylgreen7690 lol 😂
That splat sound at the end was just Cheff kiss
YO! im in my A-10 days now. Just love that plane! Thanks for being outstanging all the time you old SFB. Take care friend!
Excellent video, GS. Sometimes you have to fail to learn how to 'not fail'...EXCELLENT VIDEO!!!!
The SPLAT at the end was a nice touch.
I was randomly suggested your A-10 vs. Su-25 video the other day, where you grudgingly showed how one-sided the match-up was in the A-10's favor. Seems like the ghost of that video came for revenge.
You win some..... Or you're dead! Thank you for your sacrifice soldier! And your content GS!
Thank you for the VOD. 🥃🥃
I like to see videos of helicopter gunships and videos of the AV-8V Harrier II.
Oh man, the way the pilot ejected into the ground....it was both hilarious and terrifying😂
That was the best eject "splat" to the ground I ever saw.
As always perfect
How do you create theses missions? they feel so alive and real
, yes but won't he know what's waiting for him then?
@@kermittoad Is he pretending when he is surprised by enemy vehicles?
@TheLordsOfTheDucks yes he's stated that this in previous videos. That's why he enjoys when he plays against other people because they are set to do a task and can change what they do anytime
"Sometimes you're the dog, Sometimes you're the hydrant" - My father
This was a great video. Almost like real theatre operations. Keeping head on a swivel.
Do more like this.
Keep making the close air support videos I absolutely love them!
Those F/A18s should have cleared the airspace for you.
Can you do a video as the Su-25 in a CAS role
Great video today man 👌🏻
Love that splat sound effect at the end!
OUTSTANDING VIDEO. Love the A-10
Cool that you also show when you loose. Even if I enjoy to see you win much more 😊
I miss the WWII dogfight videos...
I don't recall hardly anything from the Pacific Theater. But I agree with you. I miss watching those dogfights.
The realism was just amazing! RIP, GS ('til next time!) ;-)
Great ending. Love how your pilot was laid out on ground like that after ejecting into it. Wonder if there was a crater..
Sometimes you do the gettin, sometimes you get got. Good video brother.
I know you like suggestions for future videos and I have one ... let's see that one again! Realizing the frogfoot is a threat this time.
Always a good day for more A-10 content!!
Love the A-10 vids! Thanks so much for sharing the mission files, too!!!
Where? I'd Like to have It too but didnt find it?😢
Wow, the turns got tabled there hella quick. YIKES
I just had a feeling a10 was going to be shot down, but that fox 2 man, what the heck. Second surprise the fact the a 10 kept flying
At that closing speed, most of the detonation/shrapnel would be behind the A-10.
Sunday morning watching GS, thanks!
4:02 wallpaper certified
Some days you're the windshield- today, Cousin, you were the bug.
the splat sound effect at the end left me gasping for air
Wow! That was a good one!
I like how some these videos its not like" im the best" and he doesnt always live
Hmm enemy showing up in the mirror and GS getting caught off guard...I'm sensing a Deja Vu here xD
SU 25 and A-10 in a 1/2 circle? Now that's a site you do see everyday. A-10 definitely one of the best air to ground planes ever created.
The fuckin splat 😂
Nice vid, and that froggy was awesome too.
Love the A10 episodes. The A10 is so special. It carries an array of weapons on a mission to wipe out the enemy on the ground and even air to air weapons. Its screen display is easy to follow. This plane has saved so many lives.
And yet still strafed Canadians...
It's not the aircraft that made the mistake, sadly.
The Dreaded Inverted Squishy Splat....aka The DISS....the last best option to avoid becoming a POW.
That splat sound!😂😂😂
Always nice when the Hornets don't stick around to help with the Su-25's
Out of all the Planes the A10 is the most fun , and we always come back to it
I'd like to see an all F-35 strike mission, with some acting like wild weasels, some high as overwatch, some suppressing with harms, and the rest delivering munitions on the targets.
Smart move, you made sure they couldn't take you prisoner.
This is where you get back in there and avenge your your multiverse brother!
All your A10 videos are sooo damn funny and interesting !
You can never go wrong with a A10 video.
The splat was both sickening and hilarious.
Do these missions with a Su25. Show how this do this job.
That frogfoot took that personally
Welp, you gotta know when to bail and wait for the operators to come rescue you. 😂
Where were the Hornets at? Damn Navy😂😂
A particular Queen song comes to mind...LOL
Crazy you didbt even realize the left rear elevator was blown to pieces
6:06 How do you eject from a helicopter? I would think its like ejecting into a BlendTec blender. Will it blend?
it shoots off the blades first, and then ejects you
Hats off to that frogfoot pilot he has a story to tell at home
GS doing Hawg work....those Hornets should've come back to help!
Cluster munitions are my favorite!
That sound when the pilot hit the ground... Haha
That splat was something else though
14:39 don't have to worry about POW now.
Great one!!!
Another great vid!
Man i just want to say i fucking love your vids man
A10 casually eating a fox two to his face like it was nothing tho
You turned into a nice omelet at the very end 😂
