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.

If you have ideas for future videos go ahead and comment them below you might just see them somewhere down the road. See you guys in the next one, much love.
I vote for a P-38 vs Mosquito dogfight.
Can you please try to intercept a blackbird with the f22 raptor?
The Mig-21 is still being used today, but last will be retired by 2025. Can we get a Mig-21 Bandit Known please. Won't be easy.
Maybe BVR with FA-18 vs Rafale ?
Grinnelli F-22 Raptor VS Nine North Korean MIG-29's BVR
You make these fights look incredibly easy. As someone who uses DCS, I realize just how good you are at this.
When someone makes a skill look easy, it just means that they are super super good.
I love watching your dogfights. To me maneuver kills are like playing chess. If you know what you're doing, then you force your opponent into checkmate or make them quit (resign).
The one standout in any Hornet dogfight is that howl i keep hearing from its 2 F404 engines, like in 7:29 and 8:26! It just stands out, like the buzz of a real hornet!
As for manuever kills, i can indeed say i enjoy watching them occur. Gun and missile kills are always preferable but a bandit plowing themselves into the ground reminds me of boxing matches where the opponent is just completely out of it.
The howl makes me yearn for the Avro Vulcan
Such a menacing beast
Got addicted to watching your videos for about a month before finally pulling the trigger and playing DCS, now six months later it's pretty much all I play, and the addiction has set in.
ONE OF US
I wonder what would’ve happened if you flew the mirage against GS 🤔
@@YuFow would of been interesting he's getting pretty damn good will have to try my luck again tonight against him
@@spine3595 I’ve seen his videos, some of his high aspect shots are super clean
@@YuFow yeah i know i fight him pretty often he can be real scary when you dont expect it
I used to be an AC at NAS Lemoore for five years (tower and radar room) so I got the pleasure of working with F-18s every day during that time. They're incredible birds. Watching their training sessions and the things they could do... mind-blowing. I must say, though, that I was most impressed by the F-16 pilots, who would come by once in a while. Those guys would come in for a low pass at what seemed like 20-40 feet off the runway and just shoot off completely vertically like rockets... what a sight (they tried to show off in front of Navy guys all the time ;) ).
Attempt 17!
Could you please show us ground strafes with different weapon setups from ground perspective? We all know how A10 Brrrt sounds from the ground and looks on target, some even know that for Viper's 20mm, but I really wonder how a 37 mm, 6 x 50 cal., 23 mm MiG-21 and 30 mm MiG-29 long strafes would look and sound on target!
Also, could you please bring out *the flying lol machine I-16 against the F-22?*
Damn ... the other guy didn't survive ANY of the rounds. He tried ejecting in Round 2 but went splat before the chute opened up.
Can we appreciate how GS was juking those rounds during the 3rd round? Holy shit!
Would love to see you switch jets with your opponent after each kill.
He explained why he doesn't do that. The other player might not have both aircraft and even if they do, they might not be any good in it.
@@wurfyy That's fair, though it wouldn't be hard to find a capable player every now and then or Collab with one of the many capable youtubers. If he doesn't then he doesn't no big deal, just my two cents lol.
@@iohn8688 Thing is, it's kind of nice that he does it the way he does. He usually finds opponents from his Discord group, meaning that you can join and might get lucky and end up in one of his videos.
Last kill
When you’re thinking oh no this isn’t good, but your enemy is saying the exact same thing
Looked like in the last fight the Mirage just pulled up into a full stall... see how slowly he's falling with his plane pointed straight down and GS is still manuvering yet the same vertical speed. The mirage just pancaked into the ground with better than 60-70 AoA as he fell.
Maneuver kills are the best. You didn't have to shoot your opponent. You simply out-flew them.
Maneuver kills are satisfying. You can create an atmosphere of panic in your opponent, you can create one of overconfidence, you can create one of tunnel vision focus all in one fight at times.
I would love to see some F-5 stuff again.
Beautiful content as always keep it up :)
How about a 4 man King of the Hill match?
4 pilots, 1 merge then fight till only one remains.
Maneuver kills are just as valid as other kills. I fly R/C gliders in combat slope soaring, and if you force your opponent into the ground... then that counts just as much as hitting him and then he ends up on the ground. Excellent flying as always GS. Love your vids.
Sure, they're valid. But they aren't as satisfying to many people, myself included.
This fight was super cool! I can only imagine what the people on the ground are thinking! Next time could you do the Japanese F-2 vs the F-16?
I think of maneuver kills as a compliment: they were so heavily focused on you pressuring them that they weren't paying attention to flying anymore due to panic
Le mirage incroyable💞🇫🇷
Fax
It has a subpar engine but otherwise yea
@@quinndenver4075 Well it's 40 years old
@@quinndenver4075 It's altimeter looked a little suspect in these fights, too. :^D
Hits the deck 2 times...
Guess he was trained by the Iraqi Air Force
Since we're getting a lot of you playing some good 2-circle fighter (well, F-18 isn't a part of them, but you still use 2-circle tactics here because he's better at this than the M2K). I would like to see you playing a really good 1-circle fighter (Flanker, M2K, F18 ...) against a really good 2-circle fighter like the F16 or the F14 (or anything better than your actual plane in a 2-circle), because 2-circle seems like ''godtier easy tactic'' to win when it's your strengh. But I think it's because you've pretty much mastered it haha !
Would be cool. Appart of that, very good videos as always !
♥
No "SLOW-MO" replay of the maneuvering kill ! !
Really wanted to see that one from the exterior FLY BY CAMERA. Oh well. . . . ☹️
A fox 2 fight between the mirage and the hornet would be cool to see
Ye but the mirage 2000-5 not the 2000c sniping with ir at 50/75 km lol
Good evening.
First of all, thank you for the many videos you make. I admire your driving skills. I'm not as good at dogfighting. I don't know if you've seen any of my videos, but currently I can't defeat the su-33. With the Hornet...I got it by letting it chase me and it ended up hitting the ground...It's not really a win. I think I have better luck with the Mirage against the su-33. I had two duels and managed to hit the su-33. And your last video motivated me even more!
Thanks! Predator1726 from France
Question; do these video planes have throttle control and air breaks ??? to prevent overshoot ???
Always have a laugh when you are worried for, /considerate of, the town folk.
There's been quite a few opponents lately that try going into the vertical when they've lost the two circle, and then get punished for that mistake. But what would the options be in that situation though?
Eject
Make the opponent overshoot, like doing a nosecounter
Not reversing when the opponent is not fast enough to overshoot, and offset the circle so you can gain speed and then force the opponent to take a higher aspect shot which you can then reverse or gain time to gain speed
Would it be possible to see a fight between the A4 Skyhawk vs the F-18 Hornet? The A4 was used as an aggressor for Top Gun against the f-18 and is still used to this day in aggressor roles with certain companies, notably Top Aces, a Canadian contractor that operates the A4N, amongst the Alpha Jet A model and A/B F-16s.
nice to see you in the Hornet, Its such a gorgeous bird but I feel like its usually just a punching bag in your videos lol
Hi GS! Is it possible that you can use DCS to teach us the technique of how to visual scan for bandits?Thanks!
Pilot over G'd(8.5Gs I think) in a Lot 10 18C back in 1996 during the Bosnian conflict. Maintenance crews had to pull all the strain gauges placed throughout the aircraft to determine if the aircraft was air worthy. It was.
I think the US Navy and McD&D went a bit conservative with the G rating, as now all C Hornets are 9G rated and have been for years.
Please do F-35A vs F-22 BVR i think itd be a close fight and I would also like to see the F-35A do a SEAD mission. Been binge watching your channel and its really good stuff keep it up man.
I think this fight would be 10 times more interesting if you get fox 2s in the mix, would really love to see it
can you explain the split S for me and when it would be useful. For some reason, in a lot of your videos whenever you merge with someone i don't think I've ever seen you use it?
M2000 should never to lose to the f18 in a gun battle. If you get to the deck and get stuck in a 2 circle just extend away, gain altitude and restart the 1 circle.
That's why they have fox-2's for the fight. For GS's dogfights, they're allowed to use the missiles to finish off an opponent that was damaged by guns or if the the opponent extends away, iirc.
I was referring to gun battle only after missiles are exhausted. Honestly though wouldn’t matter as the Mirage should win almost always in the first turn assuming gun proficiency. It’s not even fair if the Mirage pilot is aggressive on the merge.
How do you know what is optimum speed to rate at? Do you just go to AB and pull halfway on the stick? Is each aircraft different?
I thought a minivan was trying to draw me into a rate fight earlier, but it turned out we both exited on a clover leaf.
Want to see a series of you in the Heatblur F4 against Gen 3 and Gen 4 fighters. What can you doBVR and WVR in The Flying Brick?
It's good to see the hornet get some redemption! I would like to see you challenge yourself with a series against some more capable rival aircraft. Thanks for another great video!
The ground wins every time
Would love to see more of the Gripen in action. It's been a while. Anybody agree?
What would really impress me if GS can manage to split throttle the F-16 💀
The sound of the Hornet's gun in slow-mo 👌
you mean any vulcan
Hello ! With so much skill, you really deserve this nickname: Michael Fight's On, the one who dances in the sky... 😉❤️
Something magical about how the Mirage looks when it jinks
With the super hornet would it be very different?
I suspect that those field crashes still blew out a lot of windows lol.
I really enjoy your videos, and always click the "like," except for when you're flying Soviet Block aircraft against one of our Yankee Air Pirates. Meanwhile, I'll stick to the sedate live of flying A2A aircraft in P3D. Very cool, man - Sierra Hotel!
3:30 I love it: You're strafing thrue the entire neighbourhood but at least he's dropping into an empty field 🤣
It seems to me like the Terrain faction in DCS is almost as powerful as the Terrain Republic (play on Terran Republic) when it comes to rapidly disintegrating your aircraft. What happens in DCS if you hit a tree?
A great match-up between 2 great dogfighters!
Um, GS=2, Ground=2, Mirage=nil. GS vs Earth, it's a tie. 🤣
Hey Brother please do a interception video between su30mki/Rafale vs J11 at Himalayas region. You can use s400 since India, china both use s400. I want to see how bvr missiles, SAM reacted at mountain terrain.
what are the flight/design characteristics skal makes a fighter a one or two circle fighter?
Still waiting for a Fox-1 BVR fight with multiple enemies. A 1980s intercept mission. If youre scared say you're scared.
Hi, I have watched 20-30 of your videos nice job but 90% of the time your opponents dont take advantage of their aircraft capabilities or they dont exploit your aircraft weaknesses.
"Oh and he crashes into a field... luckily"
-GS, moments after lighting up an apartment building like a Russian SWAT team.
IIRC isn't low, slow, and nowhere to go the standard dogfight procedure of the Hornet?
Maneuver kills are one of those out-of-left-field kinds of things but I'm the kind of man who will take his wins any way he can.
I don't play, I don't fly, but a maneuver kill seems like a flyers kill. Both pilots fought to the deck and the better pilot survived regardless of the weapons.
🎵Do Your Jink Hang Lo
Does it run you in the flo
Do you Jink on them foes
When you moving cross their nose
Do you lose all yo speed when he pullin all that lead
Do. Your. Jink. Hang. Lo. 🎵
During the first Gulf War didn't a USAF bomber get a maneuvering kill vs. an Iraqi fighter?
How about a modernised/upgraded MiG-25? Titanium airframe will allow it to be maneuverable and fast.
Hey GS did yu saw the vid of the russian pilot ejecting from the shot down of it su 25
That’s a crazy vid
Getting a maneuver kill is virtually taking someone down wihout any weapons, as if just by force of thought.
The only daily video on TH-cam I look forward to. Thanks again
I see you've skillfully parried my nose! But can you parry...
*...the ground?*
Do a hornet vs su 30mki video
Unbelievable videos mate, I live to see these every morning.... I'd love to see you fly the superhornet off a carrier into a massive dogfight, sort of like the video you did with the F-14!
I work in the Defense industry. Some of my colleagues and I were discussing maneuver kills yesterday, consensus being they occur for two reason.
1) Adrenaline filled target fixation by the aggressor in the fight.
2) Too much attention given to the dominate aircraft by the defensive pilot who is in pure desperation mode.
It’s like a force error in tennis (making an opponent crash)
This is weird, as soon as I get my friend into dcs you make a video on the 2 air craft that me and him are trying to learn (he's trying to learn the mirage and I'm trying to learn the f 18) this is so strange.
PS: love your vids bro.
You learn the Hornet properly and you’ll kill him 100% of the time I think bruh good luck
We don't drive our opponents into the ground. We just get to watch in vulgar satisfaction while we witness the consequences of our actions causing our opponent to drive themselves into the ground. ;D
Jesus christ, the way that mirage can instantly turn its nose and dump its energy is scary
Such a shame we don't see the f-18 go into flame. That aircraft looks disgusting.
This is what happens when Colonel Stewart sets ground level at -300 feet
2:18
"MAVERICK" yawns . . . . He only uses the G LIMITER once per flight. . . . during takeoff rotation.
looooool
I would say maneuver kill is totally legit skill because it implies you put some pressure on the bandit and he is forced into a mistake or miscalculation.
Maneuver kills are the greatest. Even better when they don't know you're Winchesterino.
I love watching bandits join with their shadows!
Could you do 2 rounds of one fighter and then switch the planes? I wonder what the outcome would have been if it was you flying the mirage
Hornet gun sight man.... if HUD say shoot ... you just click.
I love it.
F-22 Raptor VS Nine North Korean MIG-29's BVR
Nice one, Can you do F15 vs Mirage or F15 Vs Flanker E ? Thanks in advance
Back in the day I played Air Warrior and my favorite plane was the P-38 lighting. The nose guns and cannons were so much easier in a dogfight
I'd like to see a Harrier versus an air Mackey talk and text suck sorry😍🥰💯❤
I believe you're Canadian, have you ever tried to join Canadian air force as a pilot?
Rene fonck in his Newport 17 thought he could take GS in his f 18. Love it!
Awesome fight! Any chance of Harrier v A10?
Day 113 asking for F35C vs F/A-18F
Mirage is a nose pointing beast, but if it gets slow its a sitting duck.
Kinda like Hunt for Red October when the Russian submariners watch the USS Dallas do an emergency surface and they cheer.
"Captain Sidewinder scared them out of the sky!"
I guess those last fights are... sorta of a novel way to punch out.
Lol. True to their nature, the Baguette gives up in the last two.
Day 1 of asking for another F-22 Raptor video.
Day 81 of asking for F-16 vs F-20/F-5
The art of fighting without fighting aka maneuver kill.
A 2 circle fight between these two would be interesting.
You saw it a couple of times during this video, when GS transitioned into two circles rate fighting the Mirage.
Almost every round was 2 circle…
A good M2k pilot can 2 circle a hornet especially with the new flight model
U should try to do a fox 2 fight with the mirage 2000
day 25 of asking for a YF-12 video
I would think that if you were in a real life or death dogfight, you would be very happy if you opponent
Oops… you would be very happy if your opponent crashed into the ground.
10:51 you made him $hiT his pants into the ground...ouch.
