Thought this video was gonna be deck transitions, being patient, outrating, and the F-16 getting the kill, but that first round had me on the edge of my seat. Well played to both pilots.
which is exactly why i was repeatedly saying the F-16 fights became stale while ago - too predictable this ... this was VERY entertaining to watch specifically because the fight could go to either of them instead of "now he is on the deck with plane literally designed to be unbeatable in deck ratefight"
thats usually how gunfights go with the f-16. fox-2s change everything. otherwise modern jets like the f22 would have also been built to be 2 circle fighters
Love watching you fly against Toxic, he can really give you a run for your money. He's got instincts for getting into the right position like you do. Always feel the fights can go either way
I was thinking, 🤔- in Round 1, had that been ME in the Viper... ...lost count of how many times I'd have been killed ! 😄 Thanks, GS - great vid as always!
Toxic did a pretty good job other than overshooting twice in the first fight. Had some impressive moves. Should have gunned you down a couple times in that one. He's got some skills but he shouldn't have ever lost to you once he forced you into the 1 circle. Still has a bit to learn. Great video.
LOL, "differential thrust THIS" - Nuts, beating his own techniques lol What's crazy is that first fight, he just goes to Idle,then CRUSHES a Flanker in the One Circle in a STOMP- I LOVE these vids where GS is in the enemy's den, and then still- beats them up at what they do best. So he's out-two circled the Viper in other planes like the tomcat and Fulcrum , has out-maneuvered and shanked the Raptor in the Flanker and Cobra/post-stall out-AOA'd it to a fast iR kill(longshot did this too) , he'- can't remember if he's fought the R_37 hypersonic missiles with phoenixes before... Just need him to outmanuever Felons now lol SO interesting, even in the enemy's specialty- it doesn't mean they're the only ones who can do it - when he says the other guy can still compete - they still can, amazingly ... .- you can do it too -even to the guy who's best at it - GS just proved that lol... (Unless it's that supermanueverability 120 degree AOA post-stall Cobra aerodynamics, then you can't quite match them- but you can still survive)
The R-73 uses a traditional infrared seeker from what I understand. The AIM-9X uses an infrared imaging system. It's a lot easier to tell plane from flare if your seeker system can tell you more than the brightness of one 'pixel'!
Damn, these were some fun fights to watch. I was as surprised as you that you were able to reverse and get that kill in the first fight. Holy crap that was good.
The F-16 is so small compared to the flanker! In that first fight he kept missing you but man easy to saw the wing off something thing the size of a building!
He was doing differential thrust in the 3rd round too at least. When you did the first gun burst that took off his nose, I thought it had taken out his left engine at first, but a second later he put burner back on to both engines. I've been having fun getting my arse blown up trying to learn to fly the F-16 recently. For laughs, I put on that BVR mission from a few days ago and I tried to see if I could survive long enough to merge and kill the MiG-29 with the AIM-9X. Let's just say that of the 3 times I tried that... I did not do well. I managed to get myself to the merge (sort of) then I realized I actually don't have the first clue how to actually manuever and basically ate the first shot the MiG fired from that point on XD. It was fun though. I think part of it is I really have no idea how to use the rudder, and I always pull too hard.
Do you think there would be any different results in the first turn if you use the 9X in Bore instead of Slave? It would give you close to an extra 30° of launch angle and near instant tone. You wouldn't have to wait for the radar to travel to the target, and gain lock. Just uncage and go.
I really want Max Afterburner to analyze this one cause he flew the F16 and could give tips on how to use the aircraft pass its limits to defeat a Flanker in the one circle
Dude, i dont know HOW you do it, but everytime, fr everytime i peak into your channel to watch you for some days and then be off again etc, you upload exactly what i want to watch fighting against each other
@@WNrHuot idk in terms of looks I really prefer the russian desgins - especially the look of the Su57 is so sattisfying to me... the only western jet that kinda comes close is the YF23 desgin
would love to take a look at tacview to see how all these maneuvers look relative to the ground. The way two planes move relatively still to each other makes it hard to follow how certain maneuvers are executed
Would love to see you fly the F 35 to show how capable it actually is. It's not designed with WVR as a priority but my understanding is it can hold its own with a pilot who knows the aircraft. Also, maybe when DCS simulates the magic helmet you could pull some little tricks by being able to maintain visual even when the bandit is under your seat in certain one circle situations?
Thanks for these vids, my whole dcs life up until now has been staying in bvr, at least now I know what to do in ACM, even if I have trouble tracking the bandit without track ir.
The Flanker is so much bigger than the Viper that in the first kill it looked like the Viper was super far away 😂 I wonder how the initial prototype Viper (with extra wing area) would do vs the Flanker
Interesting seeing how the F-16 fares in a High off-boresight/HOBS environment. I'd expect to see 2-cirlce optimized fighters like the F-16 struggle in a HOBS fight; as opposed to aircraft with better High-Aspect performance, like the Hornet or Flanker. While the F-16 seems to be operating at somewhat of a disadvantage, it still clearly is a capable aircraft in that scenario. Hope to see more F-16+9x fights from you. 😁
In these fights with only 2 IR missiles I think shooting after the 1st turn is a waste. Its defended successfully most of the time. Better to save the missile for a better shot. Also it makes sense to hold on to one missile so the other fighter can't go to the rate fight after the deck transition.
I kinda believe that anyone playing in DCS is aware of GS... and they are honing their skills to make an attempt to challenge him in a guns only or Fox2 fight. I've yet to see the chivalrous "throwing down of a gauntlet" as of yet. It's the MMA of the Air. Pretty soon it'll be a PayPerView event. Ha!
What identifies as a new player? I have DCS for awhile but haven't put much time into it. Love your videos. Taught me a lot of dogfighting on many other games
awesome fight. round 3 you could have high fived the other pilot when he got that close. I still would like to see an F-4 Phantom vs Unknown. see what she can do.
I'm not sure if the planes exist in these sims yet, but I'd love to see some WW2 naval aircraft like the hellcat, wildcat, corsair dauntless diver bomber, Zero, ext
i keep seeing you make these Su-27 vs F-16 F-15 even Rafales. Reminded me of my country whose actually trying to buy them and your vids is like showing which one is better. lol
Why on skinny load like this 9X are always putted on wingtips, but if Viper is with bags, TGP, bombs, etc AMRAAMs are on wingtips and Sidewinders under wings?

Nice vid, can we get this with reversed roles sometime soon?
I've been wanting to play DCS but I don't have the flight controls or head tracking equipment. Would it still be worth it?
@@Corporal_Idiot No
Thought this video was gonna be deck transitions, being patient, outrating, and the F-16 getting the kill, but that first round had me on the edge of my seat. Well played to both pilots.
Not in FOX-2 fight. Any kind of separation means certain death for any of these aircrafts.
which is exactly why i was repeatedly saying the F-16 fights became stale while ago - too predictable
this ... this was VERY entertaining to watch specifically because the fight could go to either of them instead of "now he is on the deck with plane literally designed to be unbeatable in deck ratefight"
That's probably true for a guns only fight, not a Fox-2 fight.
thats usually how gunfights go with the f-16. fox-2s change everything. otherwise modern jets like the f22 would have also been built to be 2 circle fighters
"Differential thrust this!" - smashed that thumbs up 👍
I am dying 😂😂😂😂😂
holy cow, that first fight was pure art. i didn’t even think it was possible to win a slow speed fight against a flanker in a viper, great job man!
Maybe you should just play better. I would’ve won every round.
You just are not good.
Go drink a Bud light.
Felt like an intentional throw to me.
@@GardenGuy1942what are you, gay?
Love watching you fly against Toxic, he can really give you a run for your money. He's got instincts for getting into the right position like you do. Always feel the fights can go either way
That 1st round was some Top Gun shit 🏆
Well done to both GS and Toxic for putting on a great show!
Awesome battles! Props to the Flanker pilot for keeping it competitive.
I was thinking, 🤔- in Round 1, had that been ME in the Viper...
...lost count of how many times I'd have been killed ! 😄
Thanks, GS - great vid as always!
I'm surprised you lived thru that 2nd round, considering he removed 5/5 flight control surfaces and turned you into a flaming rocket lol
Me too, I think it was only cuz it hit the rear of the aircraft
I bet Max Afterburner would love seeing that fight
Toxic did a pretty good job other than overshooting twice in the first fight. Had some impressive moves. Should have gunned you down a couple times in that one. He's got some skills but he shouldn't have ever lost to you once he forced you into the 1 circle. Still has a bit to learn. Great video.

Last fight….love the use of the classic….” Hold this for me real quick bud”…..as u make the 9x shot….😂😂😂
Always love coming home to a new GS video after i finish my work
Finishing off the day with this video just before sleeping....he he we all love GS
The aim 9x seems to track way better than the r73.
Different generations.
@@zyoungson215 The R-73 was basicly the OG back then
The aliexpress version of something is never as good as the real deal.

yes please do F-35 vs Su-57 and please fly in the F-35 this time GS🙏
BVR at least, because F-35 is gonna definitely lose in a dogfight
It's not built for it.
That first fight was sick...... well done....
4:05 I really like the maneuver you do here, free engage in the WES and shoot the flanker with the gun. Good job sir!
Holy cow! Viper for the dub😳😳. Toxic was crushing it with the Flanker. Props to him
The pilot obviously makes all the difference in the world. These are so fun to watch. Thanks.

Commentary on that last kill was so disrespectful… I love it.

"Here, hold this for me real quick bud...." love it!
I’ve asked for this viper flanker hobs fight months ago. Glad to see it and glad to see my mighty viper beating the flanker😎
2:28 Ohhh "Can't touch this"
2:32 “cross my nose!” - he almost literally crossed your nose here )
10:41 - he was already using differential thrust in the previous round when he took the vertical on top of you
Dude, i dont know HOW you do it, but everytime, fr everytime i peak into your channel to watch you for some days and then be off again etc, you upload exactly what i want to watch fighting against each other
Day 27 of asking for F-35 vs Su57 bvr
Yes this would be epic!
Whats bvr
He really don't wanna do it !!?
I hope it doesn't happen
I put my bet on the F-35 but yeah would be cool to see it
Just got a vr headset and getting good with the f18. In the discord and was on the growling sidewinder server for first time today and had a blast
dude that first fight was like a DCS talent show act holyy
The Su27 is a great looking Jet😊
To be honest, all russian fighters including Su-27 look weird to me comparing with western counterparts.
@@WNrHuot idk in terms of looks I really prefer the russian desgins - especially the look of the Su57 is so sattisfying to me... the only western jet that kinda comes close is the YF23 desgin
yes, I love how the Su-27, 30, 33 and 35 look!
1st round the Flanker should have done a Cobra to avoid overshoot. But easier said than done in heat of battle
yea, I was thinking the same thing. Also in I think the 3rd fight where he dropped down, he should've kept himself high for a little longer
Wow, was really exciting video. Good job. 👍
Feel very good to see your DCS videos daily ❤.
would love to take a look at tacview to see how all these maneuvers look relative to the ground. The way two planes move relatively still to each other makes it hard to follow how certain maneuvers are executed
9:12
"What do you mean there was traffic?"
"You'll never guess what happened..."
that first round battle was one for the ages, definately highlight reel worthy
that first one had me at the edge of my seat. the resolution was excellent.
pucker factor on that first engage was at maximum for sure.
Would love to see you fly the F 35 to show how capable it actually is. It's not designed with WVR as a priority but my understanding is it can hold its own with a pilot who knows the aircraft. Also, maybe when DCS simulates the magic helmet you could pull some little tricks by being able to maintain visual even when the bandit is under your seat in certain one circle situations?
Much like the Huey AH-1 the F16 was a masterpiece out of the box.
Toxic obviously saw your earlier vid of the Mig-29 v Viper bcs he did EVERYTHING you said to do to defeat the Viper. Great fights!
Thanks for these vids, my whole dcs life up until now has been staying in bvr, at least now I know what to do in ACM, even if I have trouble tracking the bandit without track ir.
The Flanker is so much bigger than the Viper that in the first kill it looked like the Viper was super far away 😂 I wonder how the initial prototype Viper (with extra wing area) would do vs the Flanker
the japanese f16 variant would be cool to see
@@aunderiskerensky2304 You mean the F-2? Yea that would be a very close fight, it has some differences compared to f16s
8:00 He had blue eyes!
Not just knifes fight in a phone booth. It's knifes fight by MMA technique within an oversized sleeping bag.
Interesting seeing how the F-16 fares in a High off-boresight/HOBS environment.

Hope to see more F-16+9x fights from you. 😁
Holy shit! That first one was exciting! Can't believe you won that! Well played sir! Cheers!
That Su-27 has so much nose authority!
Day35.5: F35 vs SU57
You're persistent, I'll give you that much.
It’ll only be a 2 min video.
Why? A su-57 can hang with the 22, it will shit on a 35 (pilot skill being equal)
those mods suck compared to the actual modules, so no thanks
I think you should fly some Su-35s ;)
0:43 how to enable HUD to follow when you watch around, Mine is always on the HUD display
knob you need to turn by your left knee.
Nice moves by the Flanker pilot.
You had me biting nails on the first fight....awesome.
Both were pretty good and close.
When that Battlefield Theme kicks in!
Love to see some more MiG-28 fights
Hit the brake and he'll fly right by!
Would like to see how an F16 Vista would fair against a Sukhoi 27.
In these fights with only 2 IR missiles I think shooting after the 1st turn is a waste. Its defended successfully most of the time. Better to save the missile for a better shot. Also it makes sense to hold on to one missile so the other fighter can't go to the rate fight after the deck transition.
Gran combate !!!
"No es la flecha, es el indio"
"Is not the arrow, is the indian"
No fue el F16, fue el piloto.
The first kill was a ridiculous move by him 🥺
I wish we did a little tac view again; that was always super fun
Did u see that flanker literally turn it's nose into u in the 2nd round like damn
I keep expecting the battlefield music to start every time you play a montage.
Hey could someone link me the cinimatic dogfight video GS did a while back, wanted to watch it again but can't find it.
Wouldn't it bei interesting to see same aircraft Fights, like Flanker vs. Flanker, Eurofighter vs. Eurofighter etc. ?
That'll just show who is the better pilot... speaking of which, just how good IS GS in the DCS World?
I kinda believe that anyone playing in DCS is aware of GS... and they are honing their skills to make an attempt to challenge him in a guns only or Fox2 fight.
I've yet to see the chivalrous "throwing down of a gauntlet" as of yet.
It's the MMA of the Air. Pretty soon it'll be a PayPerView event. Ha!
Dog fighting is all about range, speed and angle
What identifies as a new player? I have DCS for awhile but haven't put much time into it. Love your videos. Taught me a lot of dogfighting on many other games
is it possible for a viper to counter the offset two circle? how
Mimic the offset
He goes up
You goes up
He goes back down
You goes back down
You just mimics what he's doing
If u copy his up and down movement in the circle as he tries to offset you can offset your circle back on top of his thereby keeping it overlapped
awesome fight. round 3 you could have high fived the other pilot when he got that close. I still would like to see an F-4 Phantom vs Unknown. see what she can do.
2:31 SWAPPING PAINT BOY . . . . YEEEET
I'm not sure if the planes exist in these sims yet, but I'd love to see some WW2 naval aircraft like the hellcat, wildcat, corsair dauntless diver bomber, Zero, ext
Gotta ❤ the Vulcan!
Round 1 was awesome!
10:50 kinda reminds me of this scene from Indiana Jones, where this one guy flexes his sword and Indie just straight up shoots him 😂
Salute to TOXIC! well played pilot . Next ask Toxic to be in Su35 then lets ur structures GS 😅
It would be interesting to see an F-16XL in DCS.
You were so lucky in that first round.
I didnt even know an F16 could manuever that slow meaningfully
We need to see the F-22 vs the YF-23
Go the flanker...oh wait your flying the F16 ⛳
i keep seeing you make these Su-27 vs F-16 F-15 even Rafales. Reminded me of my country whose actually trying to buy them and your vids is like showing which one is better. lol
Why on skinny load like this 9X are always putted on wingtips, but if Viper is with bags, TGP, bombs, etc AMRAAMs are on wingtips and Sidewinders under wings?
The only reason you won round 1 is because you’re the best freakin sim pilot that ever lived. 😱
i'm here for a long time and i allways forget to coment.. here we go.
First Dogfight was epic!
At least i allways leave a like .... =b
In this particular flight, which head track did you use? VR, trackir or eye tracker?
He flies like a real Rusky.
Insightful as always thank you GS
I hope ED does a full fidelity Russian jet that’s actually modern soon.
Russians dont allow that, even when this is a russian thing
Good fight!
Thinking about the f-16 vs NGAD bfm? Maybe that could out rate the f-16
Do a dogfight between j 20 vs f 35 or agains the f 16
What does the computer saying "counter!"mean?
Thank you for another awesome video.
What's the name of the song at the end?
Reflecting on Round 1, was ditching to the rate fight out of the question? Was he too stuck in your control zone to think about ditching to the rate?
