    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.

    I'd love to see an xray view of that move at the end to see where the plane snuck out of your FOV. As well as being a good example of having better visibility, it's also a good example of limited FOV due to a monitor screwing you over. I bet a real eyeball would have caught the movement in peripheral vision.

They were both supposed to have a single piece windscreen that would have opened up forward visibility quite a bit. I think he got screwed by playing on a monitor more than anything. Real eyeballs would have let him see the Eagle slipping overhead, and he would've noticed no Eagle in front.

    Have you considered porting in the audio from your opponent?

      500 thousand subs is a great milestone to reach. I share his site all over the web and publically, guys with military T-shirts and ex military guys I meet. They hardly believe these videos aren't real when I show them on my phone.
      Congrats GS, for all the hard work developing High Quality Content.

    Your skills are ridiculous lol. The only time I’ve seen you in trouble was when you were fighting that fighter pilot from France. Love the videos!

    That f-15 doing somewhat of a cobra maneuver was pretty lucky even tho the sight view was ruined

    I guess the cobra is now the eagle's move!

    Every one of your videos is a masterclass in BFM, regardless of the aircraft. Congrats on 500K subs - well deserved.

    Interesting video. These what if videos plotting USAF and US Navy planes against each other is entertaining for sure. Have a full out Country vs Country series - take all of the military power's of each vs the other.

    I miss some of the Tacview analysis. Maybe not on every video, but it did often give breakdown education to us aviation enthusiasts

    Been watching since you had about 50k subscribers. I can't believe how fast you went from 200k to 500k. Amazing!
    Your videos are awesome. Congrats.

    F15 used the teleport button to get behind you.

    That first kill - the pilot stayed with it until he had cleared the populated area below. Sadly that left no time to eject 😢 Still a hero 😊

    Loved the video @GrowlingSidewinder! Can't wait for the next video man! Congratulations on 500k subs man! Here's to another 500k and many More Dogfights in the F-14B Tomcat, P-51D Mustang and F4U-1D Corsair man!
    What about a Eurofighter Typhoon against an F-15E Strike Eagle?

    Half a MILLION people dude. Big congrats, been here since 187k and it’s been an awesome road here’s to many more times of being shot in the face by a fox 2

    Dude, I'm pretty sure he teleported behind you in that last fight!!
    Maybe he pulled an F-15 Cobra, taking him from your hud to your 6?

    For two near-peers in planes - the better, more patient pilot will generally win.

    Be careful what you wish for. You wanted the F-15 to do something new and he pulled a ninja move on you. Congratulations on 500K GS.

  • @adamtruong1759

    Okay, that F-15 straight up disappeared, or had magic, or flash stepped, or something.
