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.

Hey GS, I saw in a comment below a recent video how much it matters to you that your audience understands the hard work that you put in the making of your videos. So I just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate the effort. The editing is superb and you never fail to entertain, I don't remember ever closing one of your vids before it ended. Also I've learned a lot from you so thank you ❤ you are a big resource to the dogfight/bvr noobies like me :D
Keep it up!
Btw your head tracking is sooo smooth, man it's so satisfying to watch.
Thank you very much I appreciate your comment and ur support. Much love.
suck up
Call out a Fox1 as a Fox3..... believe it or not, straight to jail
Straight to solitary.
We have the best fighter pilots in the world because of jail.
2:24 that's awesome the Tornado's are coming up, looking forward to that! I would love to see DCS expand more into the bomber market. Planes like the F-111, F-117, B-2, Avro Vulcan, etc. are all such iconic warplanes. It'd be amazing to be able to do a low level run in an Aardvark, screaming in below AA defenses, then climbing on full afterburner to release munitions and haul a** outta there... It's a shame there aren't any bombers really available now :/
I thought that Tornado pilots broke out in hives if they flew above a couple hundred feet and was most comfortable flying between the rocks and pebbles on the desert floor.
I once heard a story where an EF-111 Raven (an unarmed aircraft) got an air-to-air kill against a Mirage F1. That boi pulled a WW2 and juked the sh*t outta that Mirage. The Mirage actually crashed into a hill.
@@longshot7601,🤣but actually later in Operation Desert Storm actually, they moved to medium altitude bombing (With Bucanners for lasing) once the Iraqi Air force had essentially been wiped out.
@@longshot7601 : I think they were Saudi Tornados, not British Tornados.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen any anti-shipping operations on this channel, and I’m sure the Hornet would be a great platform for you to try it out on!
Walleyes! YES!
The Tornado is such a great aircraft. Fast, low and packs a huge punch.
And packing cluster bombs. Can you imagine being on the ground when those hit? You're TOAST.
It looks great, but that tailfin must bounce radar like a b-52.
Wonder if the Tornado will have blue circle radar?
@@Throw_Down I'd like to see GR1s with the JP233 pod. That was one of the most brutal weapons ever made: crater charges to destroy runways mixed in with small anti-personnel mines to mess with the other side's engineers.
@@StudSupreme indeed. It's somewhat similar to the Viper's rear stabilizer.
😮 Sliding into that left eschelon formation was a thing of beauty. I could watch that over and over again.
I wish they started making air warfare movies with more realism. When you start to learn how the cat and mouse tactics work, you end up on the edge of your seat.
I realise that it wouldn't do very well at the box office, but I can't help wishing someone would do it anyway. All they want to focus on are dogfights, and even then, all they're concerned with are cobra maneuvers and jinking. There's no rate fighting, no rolling scissors pattern fighting. Everything has to be high impact and jerky.
The recent Felon and Typhoon GS video had the most elegant rolling scissors fight that was an art form on its own.
Maybe it just doesn't translate very well into theatrical productions...
That echelon was so well-executed it’s crazy good flying GS
Your respect for the F-18 had come across before, but your love of it came across today. Your connection with the machine is beautiful. Thanks for sharing that with us.
You need an electronic warning switch to come on when you say "I'm think I'm safe".
I was just waiting for both him and his wingman to spontaneously combust lol
It was Scot Speicher I was in VFA81 99-03. RIP Spike
Exact the same thing was trained yesterday over our town. Two Tornados and two F-18 flew an exercise in the "Colbitz Letzlinger Heide" and it looked the same.😀
Thank you for another awesome video! I would love to see a double bandit unknown BVR battle please. I think that neither pilot knowing the other plane would make the BVR more exciting. Have an amazing day GS!
I don't know why but these videos relax me, i like to just put them on when i'm eating lunch/dinner, thanks for all the work you put into these.
4:36 Lieutenant Zuhair Dawood, flying a MiG-25, fired an R-40 at a F/A-18 flown by Lieutenant Commander Michael Speicher who was KIA and buried by Bedouins. His body was finally retrieved 18 years later.
The Panavia Tornado is still the most aesthetically pleasing fighter ever built for me, for some reason. Hyped to see it coming to DCS and hope you'll be doing some more missions with it!
Mirage2000 is way cooler looking or F106
@@georgewright3949 nah
The F-16 has a BVR kill on a Mig-25. Happened during Operation Northern Watch in 1992.
Well it wasn't a BVR kill (The AIm-120A was shot within 5 miles) but yeah it was the first kill from an F-16.
@@schweizerluchs7146 Well, it's BVR for a man on the ground looking to the horizon anyway...
Tornados!!!
I'd love to see the SEPECAT Jaguar as well
Day 4 of asking for A-4 Vs MiG-29 (i love your videos and your the reason i got DCS and gave me a hobby i am buying the F-16 today and your always consistent and its crazy)
"Fox 3... Errr" LoL hard habit to break
Sparrow missiles may not be the best missiles, but you have heard of them.
Another solid video. It's great just sitting back and watching you work your magic. Thanks for the time you put in these videos.
I have an old FA-18 Korea simulation game and in this game it is much easier to win a fight against an FA-18 if you are in a SU-27 than the other way around. Even if you are in a Mig-21. For the Mig-21 (in this game) it happens that if you make a hard turn (while dropping decoys) just a second before impact - you survive unscathed. I Love Your videos, they are entertaining.
I really wish ED would release an early C model from the late 1980s without the HMD and probably without the GPS / IFA so we can play around with the older type Hornets, kinda force the other guys to play nice in the late cold war scenarios. Fun to watch the Sparrow do its thing. So many missiles miss of the Fox 1
I've really been struggling with the radar on the 18. It would be really cool if you could maybe do a BVR fight and commentary explaining thought process. I know you work hard on these videos and I appreciate that.
I know we pooh-pooh the Sparrow these days, but for what it is? It was pretty good for its time. And it's still in use as a SAM (the Sea Sparrow variant).
never flown in a flight sim, but i damn sure watch all your vids for whatever reason...definitely entertaining
The Hornet kicks ass, even though I have a personal bias towards the Super Hornet.
really love the F-18 content, recently picked it up with the first purchase discount and it's my favourite aircraft :) keep up the good content and hope to see more Hornet vids
Cluster munitions can put at least one frag in every square meter over a fairly large area.
The legacy hornet is such a sexy plane.
HOW ABOUT F-14 VS "ZERO" IN A "FINAL COUNTDOWN" SHOWDOWN
"Wingman has got the other one I assume..." are usually last words before death ;D....btw That tornado driver would have some serious words with You during debrief for merging like that with him over target when setting bombing run :"D Good job!
wish there was a player version of the foxbat
So basically, the few Eastern European nations that still have Mig-29s should look at swapping out the old Soviet avionics, radar and fire control for the stuff in the Super Hornets, and they'd have seriously good fighter and attack aircraft. I have no idea if any of that stuff could actually be retrofitted without stripping the aircraft and starting over, but it sounded cool.
Cool idea. 4th gen. Soviet / Russian crafts have formidable design, thrust, and even missiles, but western radars and avionics are much better.
Likely not worth the cost and time since the airframes are probable near end of life and practically out of production. They're better off picking up hand-me-downs F16s with all that kit already installed.
Guess what DriveCarToBar, they did that and replaced the old avionics with modern ones. Google MiG-21 Bison update
I've started learning the F18, and alter almost a week on the training missions, i completely agree with you: heavy boy, not made for pure A/A but very capable nonetheless, which is awesome for me because i'm a newbie at SA. Clearly A/G oriented.
I'm struggling a lot on A/G mode (JSOW multitargeting, won't focus pod's view on my WYPTDSG, often confusing several data entry parameters, etc.). But once i'll master all this, it's going to be an amazing plateform to fly with!
Hey GS have you heard that Australia is thinking of donating F/A-18 to Ukraine. Like 41 in number. Can you do some cool scenario? 🥺
You absolutely need a Tornado pilot to fly with when it drops at least once. Those guys are some mad mates! Tornados are fast af and insanely loud! They used to buzz our tents at 25-50ft off the deck when I was deployed and watching them in burner that low around 2am was epic.
A year ago you did a f18 Vs euro fighter dogfight I would like to see a bvr with the 2
I hope someone developed the F-100, F-105, F-106 while there are still pilots alive who flew these aircraft to consult.
That sparrow helped with tilling the field
Dude!! You did it!!
Did you dust off the ol' Foxbat because I kept bugging you about it?
Thank you VERY much for doing this. I was honestly hoping to see YOU pilot the Foxbat, but still... Even this is a win!
Would love to see your setup. If you have a setup video somewhere that would be awesome!
Love your videos. Would be great if you would make these missions available to folks I’ll even pay a couple of bucks. I’m pretty busy so I don’t really have a lot of time to construct these things but I’d love to fly them. Thanks!
No need to pay, I’ll be releasing the video like I do with the A10 videos in the community section of the channel shortly.
Great video. Be nice to see a hypothetical Foxbat intercept of the F111 bombing raid on Libya/
Lets see Eurofighter w/ Phoenix VS. F15 EX w/ Aim 120D BVR !!!
The last Sparrow just had a existential crisis right off the rail
Always several days late, but thank you for the great and consistent work, GS! Love these videos, but would like more WWII, as well. Your gunnery is second to none, and a thing of beauty to behold. Slightly drunk here, but sincerely appreciate your work!
Thank you very much, late or not, I appreciate you coming to watch the videos, Much Love.
Love your videos. Very clean and very very well put together. Thanks for all your hard work. I would love to have a nice setup some day so I can enjoy it like it's meant to be enjoyed!
The Tornado looks so fucking badass. Flying shark.
The hornet is my first and fav module I've bought on DCS :D
F-4 vs Mig-23 please!
I cant wait to get the f18 module. It will be my first one after I finish building my computer
That last sparrow was probably within its engagement zone but outside of its g-limit when you fired it.
I cannot wait for the tornado. My favourite aircraft. Had models and posters growing up during dessert storm. Excited much
I am surprised the F-18 could keep up with the Tornado at low level. The Tornadoes were reported to be very fast at low altitude.
Tbh I dont think the speed difference would be that big, most planes are limited to high subsonic speeds at low altitude anyway.
And the F-18 with light A2A armaments is way faster than most people would expect, its almost like an F-16 light with better turn performance. The Tornados quality is that its fast despite carrying a bunch of heavy bombs.
DCS man hunt. One guy in a Strike eagle fully kitted vs multiple people trying not to die (can’t fire at the strike eagle only try to stay alive). They get choice of plane (except F22,F35,Su-57) last alive wins
Did the Tornado ever arrive??
As a brit I have happy memories watching them fly through the valleys near where I lived
We just not gonna talk bout how smooth he shifted to form up on the Tornados🤌
Looking forward to seeing what you think of the new flight model updates to the hornet!
Would be good to see more tornado action!
GS i gotta ask😂 do you know when exactly im bored and need something to watch? You upload so consistently at the right time that now I'm starting to worry its not coincidence 👀
At 6:47, you can see Sidewinders on the wings, so... No "Fox1 only fight"?
What song is that in your outro? Sounds so familiar.
"i don't know where my wingman is" lol 😜
Don't mind me. Just dropping a comment to help the algorithm.
you are appreciated.
I love the fact that DCS doesn't have a visual rendering problem like War Thunder it doesn't matter how close or how far, if they are low bear the ground they turn invisible almost.
thought for sure we'd get WWII content due to what day it is today. But this works.
Hey GS regarding the Tornado, its made by Aviastorm and it will afaik include the MW-1, the submunition dispenser tub that would be IDEAL weapon for this mission. ;-)
F-15STOL/MTD vs. YF-23A
Has anybody seen my wingman?
I'm sure he's in a helluva fix
I've scanned all through the skies
But I needn't use my eyes
Cause that flipper always flies at
My dead six...
F-8 Crusader Vs. Mig-17!!! Please!
Both arent in this flight simulator yet.
Love a good fox 1 fight. slightly more intimate than BVR fox 3 fights.
Now we want you to fight an f18 in a mig 25
Hey what is the clocking tick sound clip you use in some of your videos? I've been hunting for it and i cant find it.
Why you gotta go and get me excited for the Tornado like that??
Tornados are super cool. Much faster than the Hornet.
As a Brit, it is awesome seeing the Tornado featured🤙
Ahhh finally some Tornado's! Can't wait for you to fly one.
Oh I did not know we were getting a tornado. There goes my wallet getting lighter.
F18, untouchable, except when they are touchable!
ngl electronic warning screen would make more sense to me.
Fox 3? We got a pilot from the future! 😀
Tornado looks so good in DCS
No it doesnt. It has a decade old 3d model that looks horrible
6:05 What the hell just happened? I don't know? Half my goats just blew up a second ago.
OMG! There goes the other half.. Run for it!!!!!
There goes date night....
14:18 NOOOO My goat farm..... WTF is happening????
Small suggestion: P38 vs viggen or F86
Good flying!
The FoxBat having been so far in superior to the F15 as it was. And having Some clue of the F18.
I’m shocked that the FoxBat was able to bing a F18 down.
Do you select your wingman prior to starting or does DCS find you one?
GS - You talk about situational awareness. Time for WW1 dogfights in Virtual Reality and fly the Fokker DR1 or Sopwith Camel. Lots of situational awareness there. 🙂 Two Thumbs up!
You wanna get a country to buy your top of the line fighter jet? Show them a GS video
You haven’t side any Warbird stuff in a while man. Give us a break from the jets.
Speaking of fox three missles, is it possible to mount the aim-54 onto the hornet or eagle for a “what if” scenario intercept, especially since the air force played around wuth the idea of phoenix missiles on the eagle.
oh i love the tornados.. so many memories from childhood. Is there a mod for them available?
never mind 2:30 - heard that!
Ah my favourite ASMR channel.
I wouldn't mind if we equipped Ukraine with Hornets instead of F-16s.
Day 201, 223rd time asking for a reenactment of Sam City in the A6 Intruder from Flight of the Intruder, movie version. Talk to HeatBlur about their A6E.
What is the red light next to the anti-spin switch?
Low key excited for the Tornado! Any word on which variant? ADV/IDS?
Hey, what do you think about using more the Mirage 2000 ? It’s a fantastic aircraft with very particular performances
Which variant of aim-9 did you have on? Also, could you post your loadouts in the description for your future videos?
He used Aim-9M's
is it possible to play mig-25s on DCS ? also it would be awesome if you played as the iraqis on desert storn, learning how the different side operated !
