A Growling Sidewinder colab is a must at this point.
Please
Yes
In the digital realm, GS dominates.
Do it
It's time to start a tournament!!!
Seeing you hit Gs and still doing breathing exercises like its real life is awesome!
Gotta show the truth behind flying like this!
@@MaxAfterburnerusa its gotta be force of habit
Superb demonstration.
I've had the honor of 'fighting' 3(!) WWII vets in the Aces High simulator. 2 Corsair Navy Aviators and one German Opa Me 109 pusher from JG26. They said it was like 'Riding a bike' when I got splashed. Not bad for guys in their 90s.
This was a good random video that popped up! It's nice to see professionals that are humble and down to earth. Good video. Thanks for you service!
Max Afterburner vs. Growling Sidewinder PLEASE!
Please
@@BirbsArntReal agreed
Hell yea
Do you have enough cash to pay them to play? GZ doesn't come cheap. Just ask the FSB.
Absolutely beautiful idea.
Time for Max Afterburner to dog fight Growling Sidewinder! Viper vs Viper, guns only fight.
YES!
No hes needs to fight reload and tabs not growling. growling is entery level opponents....yes I have been following growling for years.....seen all Ive needed to see
Need to start a tournament
@@FSXpilotmanok buddy
@@h3nk1pro2 ok buddy, hes right.
You need to collaborate with growlingsidewinder
The sunglasses while playing a video game really brings it home for me.
I don't believe you're a real life fighter pilo- oh wait, I see the "stache" now. Sorry my bad. Carry on, Sir.
The mustache is like pilot wings but more official 💪
I notice these guys always seem to have 1940s Brit moustaches.... or am I seeing the same guy in several vids?
No, they actually do wear these mainly on deployment they wear them.
Throw back from the Robin Olds era! Nice
I was carjacked by a mustache.
play against Growling Sidewinder
A dogfight with GS (or GS and Longshot) needed now.
That second takedown in round 3 blew me away. It was like 3-5 seconds of bullet flight time and you crippled the aircraft with a tiny burst. That's insane. But if I'm being real I loved the good vibes even more, loved the explanations and kindness.
I like @10:12 when he pops some rounds off at the Flanker and totally misses, but then when the flanker over G’s and breaks his own wingtips from over stressing the jet, the other guy goes “tagged you bro” and neither of them realized what actually happened. 😂
Go up against Growling Sidewinder
This was bloody brillaint! To have a proper fighter pilot go against a seasoned gamer is wonderfull! If I was a pilot, I would have you both as my wingmen!
This constant potential/kinetic energy exchange in a dogfight is intriguing. It looked like a game of who stalls last when the only velocity you could gain comes from the engines. I think I would loose my mind if Hollywood did a dogfight scene where one plane just flutters out of the sky after being on the edge of stalling as the circle tightens.
From 9 minutes to about 10:10 had me on the edge of my seat. God damn that snipe was DIRTY!
Yup, would love to see a Growling Sidewinder/Max collab. It would be fun. GS would have the upper hand for a while, as he's been doing DCS for a long time, but I think Max would learn from him quickly.
Max is more intelligent
I've never seen this channel before, but I immediately guessed the chap with the great tache was the fighters pilot.😂
the stache, the jaw line. HES A GAD DAMN FIGHTER PILOT! Such a cool friggin look
Bruuhhhhhhhhh…… you need to dogfight Growling sidewinder. Do a guns only and a BVR fight. Please????? As a late Christmas present?? lol
I don't think real fighter pilots (former too) are alowed to talk about missile tactics and this things. They tend to be classified info.
Imagine being able to talk to the enemy in real dogfights like this.
Imagine if Fighter pilots could talk shit to each other in real time during the dog fight like being on Xbox live? it would be some of the best transcripts ever..
I think it would be really sad, the losing one pleading for mercy and begging to go home to his family. Yeah, no, I'd hate that. I imagine the fact you don't see the actual person and can separate yourself by viewing the enemy as "a vehicle" makes it mentally easier.
@@Scaleo3 the begging type isn't the kind of personality you'll find in one of those aircraft that required you to be ultra competitive to get there in the first place. There are no timeouts for feelings.
@@FeralRabbit A fighter pilot isn't different from any other role within the military with these higher set requirements.
Put 2 pilots in direct communication with eachother while dogfighting in a real fight for their lives and you will see hatred, empathy, or pleading, with a significantly increased rate of post-traumatic stress. I work with psychiatry and have cared for veterans from different roles and branches.
There are no timeouts for feelings, that is entirely correct, but as you keep your eyes on the plane you're dogfighting and see that plane outrating you, slowly creeping up on your tail and you just - know - you're done, then your survival insticts will kick in and try every last ditch effort it can to let you get out of that situation alive - no matter if it's pleading, if it's crying, if it's overstressing your plane or body, or if it's your body making you shit yourself to get lighter.
Pretty much how every Mecha/Plane/Spaceship anime series works lol. Honestly if it’s taught me anything, it’s that you never lose by being outskilled or due to a difference in equipment quality, you lose because the other guy says something that wins the argument and shatters your philosophy, and then blows you up as an exclamation point.
Mate- war is for realsies. In the battle of Britain people could tune in with their radios to the pilot chatter and it was not for the light hearted. You heard the pilots talking as the battle unfolded and listened to them scream as they burned to death. If you want to hear something like that, there is something wrong with you
Max you have got to please keep these videos coming. Also I hope GS reaches out to you to fly. Also others too in the community of DCS, so that you can have others to fly with.
that shot/kill at 10:07 WAASS SICK NASTY!!!
He said: "Where'd he go?"
I said: "Where'd WHO GO?"
maybe the calmest gamer online ever. usually losing their minds
That was so cool! Would love to see more content with real humans instead of AI
Vr or rotational speed in an f-16 is 145 - 150 knots depending on afterburner. At 90 knots the aircraft would have zero control reactions to any stick inputs. Climb out would be even higher Vx or Vy.
That was fun to watch. I'm subscribing.
Good luck, gamers , certified fighter pilot, and a Thunderbird = Stud
Being a fighter pilot would be so insane. Mad respect to this guy!
km's is real math
I'm SO HAPPY you have your goggles now!!!
Was sad seeing you before you got them. Watching you move your head instinctually but locked down by the screen in front of you. Congrats!!!!
I used to be a crewchief for F-16! Nice video!
That looks like a blast! ✈️
I love watching this. All my aviation experience they get mad when I go over 30 degrees of rotation.
Even my grandmothers are IFR cert since shortly after WWII. Current, active, participant is flying the F-35s.
Love how even with real combat experience, its just how it goes sometimes.
Also scary though, but inspiring that video games are to that point now, where you can get enough experience to sometimes get lucky and win against someone whos done it irl.
Hope the best for ya :D
Name of the video : watching a man with glasses turning in a plane for 13 min.what a thrill😂
Wow you gotta lead em alot to tag him! Good Stuff. Glad you guys did gun fights.
The SU-27 is the sharpest looking aircraft design, IMO
You need a gyro seat to feel the Gs a little That would be sick.
I feel like you're taking it easy on this guy.
haha! This was actually so cute! It'd be great to see both of your chair cams at the same time, so we could watch both of the expressions as the dogfight ensued.
stop drooling
@@neglectfulsausage7689 Better to spread positivity then negativity
@@PaulScholtes1980 AIDs!
@@neglectfulsausage7689 Wow... that's real mature. Not!
Callsign: Mustachio.
Definitely want to see you fly with Growling Sidewinder.
I used to be an aircraft mechanic in the Air Force. They used to let us dog fight the pilots in our simulator, but stopped because the pilots kept losing.
Wow¡
U guys are gamers huh?
Sure...
You sir, are a liar, or a troll. I was also an aircraft mechanic in the AF. They don't let anyone but pilots in the sims, with few exceptions. It's not like you can sneak in after hours and hop in a sim like you're in an office playing DOOM after the bosses go home, lol!
@ it’s sad you need to lie to make yourself feel better. It would be really odd to sneak in to go up against the pilots trying to keep you out. They absolutely did let us, not sure what you gain from pretending to be military just to say they didn’t.
I have to agree, Growling Sidewinder fight, for sure.
Awsome Christmas special. This is what your viewers want to see. You going at it with other men... hard.
#Pause
i have about 28% idea what's going on...100% like it
60% of statistics are made up so I’ll take it!
I'm the remaining 12% of jealousy.
Next we need ex thunderbird vs blue angel "playing". Viper vs rhino, navy vs airforce. Go!
Not a pilot, not a gamer, but still pretty cool to watch a little.
Your killing me with that trackir clip set like that. 🤪
Wow !!! This sim look amazing 😮😮😮.
this man needs a vr headset.
Excellent video! Would like to see more Fighter Pilot vs Gamer videos.
+100 for going against Growling Sidewinder
Why we stalling on you and Growling doing a stream?! Give the people what they want!!! :)
I thought I had seen some extremely boring things. But that was a new dimension.
From an ex-maintainer, You are definitely a pilot.
This was a really fun video to watch. Im by no means great or educated in aviation. But i really enjoy planes, flight and in particular, dogfights. Thay being said, ive ALWAYS loved the old WW2 single prop planes but this gave me a bit of perspective on the jet engines. 👌🤘
This was exciting to watch..
Are you a 22 pilot?! If so that’s awesome! I see 22’s every day I’m off the flightline directly behind it at 3 miles. Those girls are sweet! Best aircraft in the world!
And I find it hard to believe a real pilot would allow his situational awareness to dwindle to the point of ignoring your airspeed.
Feel like a flanker is formidable but not if you engage them from miles away like a raptor would
that is one majestic stash
If you both run out of fuel, you have to both eject and fistfight on the way down.
Exactly! I need by brass knuckles 😂
Fighter pilot runs simulator occasionally gamer lives on his couch.
It was the mustache.
nice fights gentlemen. Lot of info given by having coms with each other. Like: I lost sight of you...yeah me too. Or I am too slow...me too. Would be interesting to see a few rounds without hearing each other too...comm rounds and no comm rounds...that would be cool to see...
Yeah Gator, let's go!!!! (It's me SEAL dude)
First time watching, great video! I played DCS free in VR then saw Mover and Gonky fighting in VR, Gonky's first time ever in VR ..... when a former F-18 instructor say's "this is better than the sim's we have in the military" you know you need to buy an addon!! I've got a hotas setup now and only had one 1v1 online so far but omg, the feeling of getting a gun kill first time out lol!! Yes i lost overall but still .. I got a kill baby!!
You could literally fly together in the simulator train him to be your perfect wingman in a matter of 6 months be flying a drone next to you
That looks like a lot of fun
This guy would be a demon in GTA Online if he got his hands on a jet.
Absolument fantastique... Merci pour les vidéos
Never go 1-circle in an F-16 against a Flanker!
F-16 favors the 2-circle fight... In DCS, that is.
As they were in the second fight, I was wondering if it would end before the Viper flamed out
I would love to see this on ACE II on the Commodore 64 !
Should I be holding my breath in the turns also?? I do!
I’m Gator… but MrUSA in DCS
Feels like watching Star Citizen
SU-27 is like 40 years old, but oh so damned capable!!
Great fights there, need to get some RAF pilots in there to battle
One of the best gaming vids I've seen, Max thank you for your service I Salute you with Honors. Raptor....Dude you continue to amaze me. Your gameplay is spot on! Thank you for contribution. Peace out Boy's, you gave me Much wanted entertainment.
I'd love to see you dogfight against Reload Gaming! :D
Im just here for the stash ngl
Bro you gotta fight Growling Sidewinder
Don't you evah disrespect me by lookin like Dr. Disrespect! Lol
This guy is like Dr Disrespects NOT evil brother
Kilometers per anything don't require translation. All distances around are measured in kilometers, you instinctively know how those relate to stuff around. It's miles that require translation, depending on the type of 'mile', and having different units of horizontal and vertical spacing (miles and feet, respectively) doesn't add much to clarity of what's going on. If you're at 3km and your engines give up, you know your aircraft quality is 15, so you are intrinsically aware that you have 45km unimpeded glide range. If you're Imperial though, you have to remember the translation rule of 'x miles per x-dred feet', then calculate, all taking away time that has become very limited.
And don't even get started on US ordnance system for aircraft. You know, when you're carrying several FAB-500's, you know how much weight your pylon is losing when you press the button, you know its guidance type (unguided), you know its effect type (high explosive) -- all encoded in a short string. If it's KAB-500OD, you know it's guided and has a special (napalm airburst) warhead. Again, readable with a glance and, most importantly, giving you all the information you require as a bomb delivery driver.
Now, when you think of MK-82 and GBU-10 and how to not being able to read those, but memorize correlations in inventory lists, everything becomes clear.
I was thinking when he was turning down, No! Fly to the right of him so you don’t lose elevation. 3:01
Solidly enjoyable content
i dont have the focus to be a fighter pilot, even a virtual one. after the 3rd or 4th time in the loop I would have gotten bored/frustrated and started doing barrel rolls or buzzing the rivers at low alt. The action definitely provides the stimulation but the downtimes in between would have me wandering pretty quick.
doing this under the extra g's from acceleration is what separates the gamers from the Chad's lol
its so cool us gamers get to jam with the pros and vets! It makes us gamers feel really good about the Forces showing this stuff off! Thank you for your service in and out of the arm forces. GOD bless! Dont stop!
xmas!
You should try getting into space games like Elite Dangerous or Star Citizen.
Nice video! Oh hey, why don’t you dogfight in WW1 airplanes? Sopwith vs Siemens Shuckhert!
cant you just land quickly and taxi into the trees and hide 🤣 good game
Should do this again since the new update dropped and the FM is way better.
Try WW1 dueling dogfights, there is actually a league for organized matches.
