On this channel we like to do a lot of dogfighting most videos are some sort of dogfight between 2 different aircraft as we explore their different capabilities. From time to time I like to dabble in Virtual Reality, I think VR is a great new technology and I love to show that stuff off for the channel from time to time.
If you enjoy war thunder or Microsoft flight simulator 2020 or even dogfighting in Battlefield 2042, consider getting yourself into Digital Combat Simulator by Eagle Dynamics, the Combat side of Aviation with the BVR and Dogfights really provides a different and interesting perspective on aviation. You can fly all kinds of combat aircraft including the F-16, F-15, F-14, JF-17, Su-27, Mig-29, Mirage and the F-18 Hornet along with many other aircraft and helicopters like the Ka-50 and Mi-8.

Thank you for watching guys, If you have ideas for more videos please comment them below and we might just make a video with your idea. Thanks again for watching, Much Love.
Mig-29 vs F15 both equipped with Meteors!!!
Would love to see a dogfight at night! I'd imagine it would be tough to keep visual
How about a BVR to a dogfighting video with only the gun on the f-22 and a fully loaded f-14 with missles?
F117 nighthawk plz!

I have to say that, as someone who has only dabbled in DCS and has very little idea what all the instruments are telling me, I really appreciate the addition of arrows and other indicators that highlight specific displays as you're discussing the situation.
Thanks I’ll try to keep those in videos going forward. I appreciate the feedback
I agree, i have spent around 50 hours in DCS, and recently got the F/A 18, but I can tell it will still take couple hundred more hours to get comfortable with the instruments and controls, so the video annotations really help anyone that's fairly new to DCS (or anyone watching in general).
@@GrowlingSidewinder arrows and boxes are greatly appreciated. Adding to that: inserting a zoom-in may also help. You very often comment on things that are completely invisible to viewers on a laptop/mobile. What happened with your expriment with the eye tracking software that made things visible for viewers?
Agreed, never played DCS, and any hints like that are very helpful.
Jamshid has a very convincing American accent, props to him!
They were trained by the Americans so maybe he picked up a little more English that way lol
jamshid 🙂

It's "Jamshid", not Ja'ashid.
BTW many many Iranian pilots were trained by USAF so it's usual for them to have American accent, especially the Texas one.
I laughed at Jester messing up the distance!
The other day I was dogfighting, and he said something like "watch out man we are stalling. And you wonder why I punch out all the time," 🤣
The DCS team definitely watches GS.
hahaha that's awesome.
I love that the Rio can misspeak. Truly a simulator.
He also freaks out and ejects every once in a while

Damn that F-14 looks sexy as always, from a purely aviation fan pov it makes me smile that somewhere the tomcat still roars in the sky every now and then.
the US secretly still has a couple tomcat platoons dont let them fool you
I'm Iranian. I know for a fact that Iran has reverse engineered the AIM-54 missile, it's called "Fakoor", and it works pretty well on the Tomcats. That much we know for sure, officially confirmed information by both the Iranian and American military officials. Unofficial claims suggests that Fakoor is more resilient to jamming than original Phoenix. Btw Iranian officials claim that Tomcats have received new Iranian made radar and avionics

Thanks for the info. Peace brother.
@@behroozkhaleghirad I’m not sure if that’s dangerous or not there, but be careful. God bless you.
Iran keeping their F-14 fleet in the air is some seriously impressive shit
They have to Cannibalize the other F14’s already decommissioned to do it but yes.
Proof of Grumman build quality - 50+ years already. On the other hand, the Tomcat’s maintenance costs must not be as exorbitant as myths go.
Wonder what the YF-23 would've been like
@jamesbilleg758 : Was the YF-22 chosen because it was cheaper than the YF-23?
@@timonsolus no, because the YF-23 was a flying turd
inb4 muh better stealth or some other nonsense
@@tonyrun5802 there were several reasons it remained a museum piece.
@@0Ploxxbetter stealth and top speed, worse manoeuverability
The f14 is like awacs with missles, commands the battle arena, long, medium, short range missles, gun, mach 2 plus and can drop bombs, what an aircraft
It's still a cool thought to think that the f14 still flies
Its a sad thought that this prompted the US to ban any F-14s from being preserved even in private hands for fear of spare parts leaking to Iran. 😭
The P-3 blows me away, still flown by a few western nations... I worked on them over ten years ago, and they were already the oldest shit in the Navy (first flight was 1959), and though the were replaced in the US Navy (many others still operate it) a few US government agencies still operate them. Tomcats came out in '70, and though they were the first of the mainstay 4th gens, the last (F-18) came out only 8 years later. Amazing to think that the original models of the majority of the American air fleet had their first flight between 1970-1978... then essentially nothing on the fighter front (excluding upgrades) until the F-22...
@@ATBatmanMALS31 The B-52 still flies, that’s 1940s vintage. Fighters are a different manner of beast. The aerodynamics need to be updated to keep up with the enemy’s.
That plane will always be legendary. It was made long before it's time too. Kinda stinks we (US) retired it
Does it? Iran owns them but we don't know if they are actually operational last I heard
I love that GS is always pretty calm and soothing in these videos and Jamshid is just screaming at every missile
I'm a simple man, I see an F14 video, I click
Exactly the same as me
I read that Iran will be receiving Su-35s from Russia that were originally intended for Egypt. That could make some interesting scenarios for future videos.
4:54 I love how jester is freaking out and GS is very chill about it
These videos are incredible I only just discovered it maybe a week ago. I had no idea about DCS but being a pilot myself I’m really interested in getting a set up. Good videos bro 🤘
I’ve really been enjoying this Tomcat BVR content
I love the F-14. So happy to hear it's still flying.
Yeah and used to protect a totalitarian dictator. So happy ffs
Very kind of Iran to provide Maverick with several escape routes at all time.
Keep up the good work.
If Iran hadn't bought Felons in Top Gun Maverick: the matchup
Love the vids, would love to see an A-10 air to ground mission if possible. Maybe long shot can do some SEAD for you?
I've been watching his videos for a while, that was the best ending I've seen. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. That final kill was sexy!
I liked the part where you said ITS HAWKING TIME and then you HAWKd the F18 and the F18 got HAWKd
Excellent video and thanks for the Tomcat update. My conclusion is this. Put GS in the cockpit of any version of the F14 and we will enjoy the best out of the legendary jet fighter. Top Notch 👌
It's not the plane, it's the pilot. So True! You even took down a Raptor with a Mustang!
YOU ARE ONE OF THE BEST PLAYER ON DSC LOVE YOUR CONTENT , do more!!!!!!
God I love the f14. Is the tornado f3 on dcs ? I wonder how that would do but it’s not really a dog fighter.another awesome video but wouldn’t expect anything less.
Ya man they actually just today announced they’re working on a tornado. So soon we will see that in the sim.
@@GrowlingSidewinder soon ™
Tornado is coming but not a ADV. We're getting an 89 German IDS
F 14 is really something else even now, in good hands.
New ceramic based stealth paint is far easier on maintenance and has a 90% radar absorption.
Imagine the Tomcat with new engines, new aesa radar, avionics, computers, and electronic warfare suite.
Deadly weapon!
Don't underestimate your opponent!
Thanks Jimmy Carter..
Wow that plane looks like it's OP still . Makes we Wonder why. I miss the Battlefield theme
You can't imagine how good it feels to watch our tomcats do these epic actions
Tomcat, anytime baby
Round two finale in the mountains was great. I wonder if climbing above would have been better for OP then trying to pursue behind the mountain?
How about a BVR to a dogfighting video with only the gun on the f-22 and a fully loaded f-14 with missles?
Why not with F-14 towing an F-5 ?
Bye
Freedom everyone
Can the F-14’s radar even detect an F-22?
@@Acrophobia2 kill pilot with the radiation output of the AWG9.........
The Tomcat's still got it; I love to watch it dominate the skies.
Hot damn imagine the range of a SR71 with an SA10 missile strapped on it xD
How about an X-15 with an R-37 on it
Yes! Master against the bug plane.
Would love to see some BVR missions or more missions in general with the Mirage 2000, the Super 530 is a nasty missile in Fox-1 only environments
Thanks for making the Mig29 Astra video like I requested 👍🏻
U even made the Rudram Anti Radiation missile video 😍
U the man 😃👍🏻
Please make a video on FA 18 with Astra Missiles as India is looking to buy 114 F18s Block 3 for the Air force and 26 for the Navy!!!
Nope.. The first choice will be Rafale, Second will be Eurofighter Typhoon, then the remaining ones.
@@Officer_Beast In IAF's case, yes
@@Officer_Beast typhoon cannot take off from carriers. its between super hornet and rafale
Jester already nervous lmao, man panicking lmao😂😂😂 2:03
I watched this wile enjoying my dinner and kept thinking about one of the more recent terminator movies, where an elderly Ahhhhnold looks at some young buck while loading magazines and says in that austrian accent "old, not obsolete"
what a beautiful plane, the F-14
Fighting the fight you bring rather than trying to counter the fight your bandit wants is what Growling Sidewinders do.
The Air Superiority Fighter the Navy lacks. I wish we could see a Super Tomcat 21 fly so very much.
Not really the navy has f35b for that. Does the job much better then a modern upgraded tomcat could ever do.
I'm on the short side of a six pack, I have a bowl of gamelli and meatballs with marinara, a big bowl of steamed broccoli, and a GS video to watch...
Life is GOOD. :)
Im pretty sure the Iranians are building their own tomcats
They can’t. If they did they would say they have. They’ve had the same 50 tomcats since the 70’s and the remainder of their fleet is cannibalizing any parts from the decommissioned ones they can
@@ICECAPPEDSKY I've done homework on this, and read deeply on the subject, I'm more than convinced they have not only upgraded tomcats, they are manufacturing them.
How do you set the Tomcat to use missiles which aren't standardly used on it in DCS such as a Fakour-90 or these Russian ones used in this video?
That last fight was intense! I still love the Tomcat... Even if it's wearing Iranian colors!
Damn good fights here. Thanks for that!
As soon as I get done with my daily whiskey and cigar, GS drops a vid. (Shake head). Guess I will have to light another stick and refill the glass.
Hey another whiskey and cigar never hurt anyone 👍👍👍
@@GrowlingSidewinder people who die from lung and liver cancer would beg to differ👍😂
@@driffbro3380 Don't be a party shitter.
In fact, the Fakour-90 missile is not a reverse-engineered version of the Phoenix missile, but a Hawk missile with a Phoenix missile body to enable the Tomcat to carry the Hawk under its belly and carry more Hawk missiles. The Iranians have claimed that the Phantoms are also capable of firing the Fakour-90, and this shows that the Fakour-90 missile uses semi-active radar guidance, so the Fakour-90 cannot be a reverse-engineered version of the Phoenix missile , because the radar of the Iranian Phantoms can not guide active radar missiles.
You are great pilot growling, as I see.... Great
Ngl, I'd really like to see F-35 bvr, or even F-35 beast mode SEAD video my guy
Yes yes yes tnx from an Iranian for mentioning Iranian HAWKS and F90 missile. I wish we had more info on the new F14 radars Iran has been built with help of Russia
Defender of Persia strikes again 👏👏😎 very cool jet it's like a hybrid now between US n iranian n Russian tech
Edge of my seat on that last one!
It is better to know that if the F-14 Tomcat is famous until today it was the Iranian pilots who made them special the sky eagle
It would be fun to see if you could load to patriot PAC threes On an F 14. Maybe two centerline or the undercarriage racks. Would be fun to see.
I love that F14 skin.
I hope Jamsheed brought his trusty RPG in case you guys get shot down. We all know how precise he is with that thing
Very interesting and a great idea with the I-Hawks
The weight difference alone here is something a Super Hornet cannot overcome, there is no tech you can put in it to make it on par with Tomcat in a BVR fight
it could take less but bigger missiles like aim260 and would have advantage
In the navy's own trials it wasn't exactly a favorable matchup against a hornet with amraams in a BVR fight, And the situation only got worse the closer the fight got. The AWG-9 is an EXTREMELY exploitable radar system, And the Phoenix's actual effective range against a maneuvering target is comparable to an AMRAAM whist having much, much worse guidance.
Well, nowadays not so much. The hornet is now equipped with the Aim-120D which boasts around 100nm of range (however take that as more like 50-60 due to it likely being exaggerated). Sadly we don't have the D in DCS so a truly modern day match up can't be simulated, however I have a feeling the hornet would come out on top in that situation.
Talk to me Goose. 🕊
# It's not the plane... it's the pilot.
Honk
Thank you for another fun video!
I can't say I've ever seen you fly the Super Hornet.
GS casually overstresses aircraft in supersonic diving turn
I was looking forward to this match up
Based on the pics you showed and the ones I found, they appear to be R-27 R (short range semi-active)
Another great BVR video.
nice dude you actually made it the video 😄😄 didn't think your gonna read that comment
Tomcat, one of two favourite jets of mine. An ageless aircraft for sure. Wish they didn't kill the program and kept it updated. Who knows what it could do with more modern avionics, better engines etc.
Exactly.
The R-27 exact model was R-27EM. Fox-3 version of R-27E. According to Brigadier General BAZARGAN Project development was ended in 1990 and almost never used because of two problems
1- they only can load missiles in in wing root hard points
2- there wasn't much missiles from this version in Iran
Knowledge achieved in experiments used in two projects
First one is Fakoor-90 and second one is still classified
Also its a bit strange but Iranians overhauled the phoenix missiles
Last confirmed seen of a tomcat flying with Phoenix is from 6 months ago
You got the RPG God as your Rio!
If anyone wants to learn a good amount from an ex Iranian f14 pilot check out the F14 Tomcast episode on Iranian f14s. Does not disappoint.
2:01 "Bandit, brah"
This RIO from California?
I think it might be BRA. Bearing Range Altitude.
GS, what do you think about taking this F14 setup against the MiG-31?
13:42 yooo, where is your trusty slpit throttling? :(
probably not enough risk to reward to do it outside of the merge...
Nice Jamsheed reference!
“just strap everything we have to it lol”
Hit em with an IHOP? The California omelet with a 3 stack hahaha!
Can't wait for a Jamsheed RIO mod featuring Electroboom's Mahdi sound bites.
Growling GOATwinder
Good video 👍
F22 vs Mig31 plz
Thanks for posting these videos. I finally pulled the trigger and downloaded dcs. Quick question, do you know if anywhere to download some thrustmaster hotas one profiles? I went with your recommendation and picked up fc3
Fc3 is a great place to start, unfortunately no I don’t know where you can get profiles but honestly…you don’t need them. Just find binds you need and do them manually yourself (this is how I do it) this way you can pick exactly what button does what.
Iranian F14s are so cool
now lets make that F-14 fight a Eurofighter with Meteors ^^
Fantastic video GS!
While the R-27 was tested on the F-14A, they never got it to work sadly. Still a fun video, but strictly fictional im afraid xD
A flight of these F-14s would be terrifying.
To who?
@@Coinz8 whoever's on the receiving end
@@Coinz8 anyone who still have AMRAAM C7 at best. Those I-Hawk and its derivatives, Fakour-90 have similar range to D version
4th. Worth it.
Edit: seriously, every video of you in the F14 makes me love it even more.
When the celebrated movie star became the boogie.
Dude, can I know the BGM at 13:29 ？
The F-14 suffers aeronautical,( bi-polar disorder); Stiff at high speeds; Agile at low speeds, with no comfortable middle ground. If you fly this thing well, you're immediately qualified for the next level.
My favorite super Sonic fighter jets is the f-14 tomcat and the f-15 single seat variant the f-15 is beautiful to me
Would be good to see this AC with 4xR37+2XR77-1+2X7R73 loadout
How close to the top of that ridge did that last missile get?
In the fight jets world F14 is most beautiful fighter jets ever to build champions of all time and thanks to GS to make great video again
'Easy to dodge to Phoenix"-thats if youve been fired only once
3rd attempt ;) Dassault Rafale against F-14b Tomcat ;)
You can just see that missile impact the ground at 12:00
