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, F-4 Phantom, Su-27, Mig-29, Mirage and the F-18 Hornet along with many other aircraft and helicopters like the Ka-50 and Mi-8. - เกม

Guten Tag
@@spitefulwar Und das heißt. Erika
Ich bien sam hallo
the luftwaffe have got to be one of the coolest previous hosts of the phantom hands down. the liveries are just so clean and it fits in so perfectly with the jaguar
That and the ghost of Aegean camo for hellenic phantoms
japan on top
RAF and Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm Phantoms are really cool as well.
@@CFMLEAPAgreed, but I think the Luftwaffe livery pips them to the post. Gorgeous.
@@CFMLEAPthe British version of this jets was the fastest out of all of them
The German F4s were mostly F4F. Basically simplified F4E variants because of budget constrains and because they bought it as in interim solution as an interceptor. It was only later on when the F variants were upgraded, which got them on par with the E variant. For example, no sparrows and no mavericks early on. They upgraded the maverick capability later on. The F4 then served for more than 40 years in the Luftwaffe.
In the 90ies further modernization took place: F-4F ICE with Hughes-APG-65-Radar, AMRAAMs, new computer, RWR, databus.
German post ww2 weapons ordering is mostly just cutting budget wherever they could even if hindered the performance of what they were buying by a lot
I had no idea they carried the Maverick.
would be interesting to have the F-4F ICE version in BVR fights: it had an F/A-18 A Hornet radar plus AMRAAMs.
heatblur really made a masterpiece here
I am German and one of my core memories as a kid is seeing a couple of them blast over our town. Beautiful aircraft.
That rear aspect tone at 12:16 was nice. It was slightly higher pitched than the other ones
That is what scammers hear when they call my home phone and it goes to the fax machine.
Every single time an external shot I can't help but say damn what a gorgeous plane
F4, f5, f16, and the flanker series. Beautiful all
@@jamesyoungquist6923+F15, Mirage and Rafale
The F4 is the muscle car of jets.
Mig25 is.
@@BenStatei'd call MiG-25 and 31 the dragsters of jets, as well as f-104 XD
Both
“Gotta get high and get out of here. Go hide out in the mountains.”
Sounds like a nice weekend to me. 😎
No one’s talking about how glorious the timing was on the runway bombing run so I will. Hot damn was that smooth.
Die Luftwaffe wird repräsentiert❤
Love your Stuff GS!
Jawohl!
And even surprisingly the TLG 74 that is located in Neuburg in Bavaria.
@@Fention1 Saw on Trickers Video that the Farewell livery of WTD61 in Manching (60km away from where i live) is also present.
My dad was on the Saratoga during Vietnam. He always talked about the phantoms. He said that planes would take off and land 24 hrs a day and you would never know below decks. But you knew when the phantoms were spooling up to launch. Powerful machines.
One of the loudest jets I have ever heard on take off, the only one that was louder for me to hear was the tornado.
Say what you want about the F4 being a flying brick. This jet is so fffreakin' cool. 😎wheels up, burners ON.
it is
Love seeing the F4. My father served 2 tours in Vietnam aboard the USS America and was an aircraft engine mechanic. He had some awesome stories about the F4.
Dude so sweet. The detail is insane. They did a really good job. I just bought a Su 33, because it was cheap lol. I should be flying tonight I finally got all my stuff lol.
Su-33 is a good place to start FC3 level aircraft are great place for beginners.
The F4 is one of my favorite jets. Glad to see more of it on the channel.
I know the MiG25 was made from welded steel, but those two really took being struck in the face by Mavericks really well ...
Those were 31s.
@@mikemontgomery2654 Just one Shilka at the end of that runway would have Seriously messed up that Phantom's day
@@larsgottlieb intelligence is everything.
Must have been decoys. Boilerplate welded into the shape of a certain boxy airplane.
German Pilots were extremely good dogfighters they were trained excellent in that role, after upgrading the F-4F during the 90s to the ICE (improved Combat Efficency) standard they then were able to use AIM-120s.
12:15 what it sounded like when I tried to call my friends while using the internet in the 90s.
Ya gotta love the F-4s man. They were chunky and heavy, but they did their thing, and they did it *well*. Beautiful production from McDonnell Douglas for sure
My dad was an F-4 WSO in JG 74 which is the squadron your skin is from. The only differences is that most F-4s there were actually grey and that they did carry AMRAAMs. Also there was a Me-262 production plant and an airbase close to the current JG airbase which is the reason we still find a lot of WW2 bombs.
I was hiking in the forests around Marburg, and there were signs warning of unexplored ordnance in many places.
The Phantom ll can't carry AMRAAMs, they use AIM-7 Sparrows.
@@elizabethvarga1099Germany upgraded theirs to carry AMRAAMS, it was called the F4F ICE.
@@elizabethvarga1099 the F4F-ICE got an APG65 Radar and could carry the Amraams.
Later models of the F-4E were fitted with a Target Identifier System, Electro-Optical, on the starboard wing, above the inboard pylon. This provided the WSO with a means for identifying enemy aircraft, and ground targets, beyond normal visual range, allowing more freedom in the use of Sparrow missiles. But it could also be used to acquire ground targets for electro-optically guided weapons like the Maverick or GBU-10.
TISIO is port side. See 10% True interview with Gabby Drake flying the F-4.
As a kid growing up in the 90s, when I drew a fighter Jet it was ALWAYS an F4 Phantom. Amazing aircraft!
Awesome video and gameplay. I grew up watching the Luftwaffe training with their Panavia Tornados when I visited my grandmas place in North Germany - they also flew Mach 1+ there and I still know how I hold my ears when I was small and the windows shaked. I loved it, though. Would love to see you flying one of those on a mission. :)
"I have ample speed. I am going to take straight into the veridical. It's what the F4 likes..." I love those short little call outs! I really liked this one. I loved the F4 Phantom II! It was used by all branches!
Thank you so much for doing F-4 Phantom videos! It’s my favorite fighter of all time! The Phantom just looks so kick ass!
Nice to see the Rhino flying. Worked a lot with the german F-4s, espacially with the JaboG 36 and JG 71 during GCI with the airforce in the 80´s. But the german airforce flew the F-4 F version not the F-4E. F-4F was not that capable as the E version until we got the ICE Update. But real cool flying model
13:50 Combining F4 with the Battlefield tune has to be some of the most epic things :) Well done
LUFTWAFFE, nice...
GS dissing the Phantom radar, "My eyes are better." 🤣
Gotta say this plane is an absolute beauty of a plane! Especially as someone who lives near one of those airfields who had F4's until 2013 and experiencing them flying and taking of during my childhood, it's really nice to find them again in DCS 11 years later. Really considering buying the F4 to relive a main part of my childhood tbh
Beautiful plane and great cinematic shots like always, love your content
The F4 Phantom is simply spectacular. Thanks for the demonstration.
Thanks for another reason to stay awake a little longer tonight! (Greetings from Germany, BTW)
Very nice timing on that run GS!...good video!...👍
I grew up south of Wittmund Air Base (Home of the last German phantoms until 2013) and saw Phantoms nearly everyday for the first 20 years of my life! I’m so incredibly excited to finally have a proper Phantom in a flight sim. I will live in my sim for the few days after release😅
Awesome demonstration!!!! F-4E is really a capable legend!!!! It never disappoints!!!!
The F4 is such a beautiful bird. It was always one of my favorites as a kid alongside the F14 and F16; good video!
The Luftwaffe actually had F-4F's with a higher to thrust ratio and the leading edge maneuvering slats. Probably peak Phantom.
Actually they were initially limited. The radar was worse and it was able to use sidewinders only until in the 90s they adapted aim 120.
They also had 10 E models mostly used for training
@@GrowlingSidewinder I think they were exclusively used for training...in the US I believe. BTW, your content is very entertaining.
Secret weapons of the luftwaffe S.W.O.T.L.
Another exceptional mission/video, GS. I really enjoy reading your videos' comments as well. You have a very appreciative and enlightened following! I searched to see if anyone else mentioned this and didn't see it, so I'll ask even though I got here late: I think I recall the F-4 Phantom was nicknamed "The Lead Sled or just "The Sled." Does anyone else remember that?
hello, always nice to see yourself commenting around, there are a few of you I've come to know because I see you guys so much so thank you for nice and encouraging comments. I have to agree with you that many of those in the comments here are great truly grateful for such a community. I too have heard it called a lead sled, a few others pointed it out in earlier videos that it had that nickname.
@@GrowlingSidewinder Ah, I should have searched the earlier videos for that but I only thought of it during this one. Thanks for replying!
my pleasure
I'm waiting for a Desert Storm Wild Weasel vid. I saw the Wild Weasel Phantom on the apron in your initial release vid and I need to see it in action.
Rarely have I been more excited for a video then this one!!!
Thanks for the great video G•S
Love the phantom how it moves and the heavy metal! It’s a beauty!
I love seeing you playing Phantom. Excellent gameplay!
man you and the other dcs CCs are killing me with the phantom videos... five day have never looked so far away lol.
Nice one! Well made overview...keep on going!
Really dig the detail put into this aircraft. Just stunnin. Dug all yer vids, btw. You've inspired me to get this, eventually.
Thank you, appreciate you.
@@GrowlingSidewinder l have always wondered, can the F-2 rate as good as the F-16 can? Wouldnt that be a match of kings.
My 1st model fighter I built as a kid was the Phantom. It hung suspended from my ceiling for years. I need to fly it now.
Very nice! Got the whole Magilla in one pass - that's just stellar.
Your best Phantom landing so far. Still something just so sexy bout that plane!
Matching colors on the flight suits, what a cool detail...👍
I remember those from my childhood in a village 50 km west of the German-German border. The Phantom looked like a suspiciously stable brick in the air that was getting bigger, and then things got really loud really quickly. Scary and awesome. Always liked them, though, and was more afraid of the local farm tractors as they posted a far greater threat.
Great stuff! The F-4 is a real beast.
Really enjoyed this one. Thx for sharing.
Nice attention to detail on your loadout.
This is my favourite era of aircraft without question
As a german i aprove this video
Those kind of missions look crazy fun.
That livery is sick, and heatblur seems to have knocked another one clean out of the park.
Enjoying all this F4 content!
On every Airshow i was in the 80s,all little Kids watched in pure terror when this loud monster starts.I loved it
I remember watching a documentary on dogfights over Vietnam, and I distinctly remember the pilots saying they had to use the vertical to fight the MIG-21’s because they just were not maneuverable enough in the turn fight.
0:48 - "How many bombs and missiles do you want?"
"Yes."
cant wait to get my hands on this
One of the best vids you’ve done sir 👏
Very awesome. Thank you.
I could watch this all day long.
Man this thing rocks. I've always liked the F-4 and didn't understand the haters who said it was ugly. Thing looks like a drag racer.
5:15 "Nicht so tief, Rüdiger!"
Hell of a mission, great landing! 😎
Loving the F-4 content. I have a soft spot for the Lead Sled, and Heatblur finally coming out with it might be what finally gets me to invest in a new computer and get DCS.
Would love to see one round with Greek colours...Great job GS!
Nice skin😊
The F-4F ICE Had fox3.
It was modernised in 1991.😅
Hawk PAR and High Power radars! I used to work on those.
Okay GS, the lack of Sparrows on this F-4 of the Luftwaffe, means that you're flying the German specific F-4F which was built without Sparrow compatibility, and the refueling boom socket on the spine.
That was fantastic. Thanks
Glad I finally got mine before the pre-order bonus vanished.
Man it was nightmare for those MIG pilots on the taxi way two Mavericks on the way and seeing you diving for runway. Love your video's GS keep on great work ❤❤❤❤
That's my Luftverteidigungdiesel!
Dude, you beat the mavericks to the edge of the runway!
2:36 what a sight for sore eyes
Sexy looking brick with jet engines strapped to it man. I love to draw and grew up drawing this fighter more than any other. Still love the channel after I think it's around 3 years of watching. Great vids champ.
Thank you man, always appreciate seeing you in the comments section.
No worries champ, watching some of your older videos now, loven it dude.
That was an interesting sortie to watch!!
I am sooo exited for the Phantom... It probably arrives just with my new joystick❤💛💙 greetings from Germany, its a joy to watch you videos
GS sure can make a barn door with a bent down stab fly. When in doubt, stand on your J79s.
F4's are such a good looking aircraft.
This is probably going to be one of the most popular releases in DCS history.
Those Mig 25's doesn't even seem damaged we really need good damage models
Can't wait to fly it my self, i realy love the F-4 phantom it is my favorite jet.
Looka like the plane is made for this skin, beautiful
This mod is a dream. I mentioned about using the Phantom F4 recently without knowing about it being released, bring on the F3/4 Tornado soon please.
Hey GS, for something completely different, Eagle Dynamics needs to come out with a livery for the F-16 like the Viper Demonstration Team is using this year. It goes back to the first F-16’s to roll off the assembly line. I remember seeing them back then.
Have a buddy that flew F-15's and he said the German F-4 guys were pretty good. He tallked about getting his butt kicked when he was new by those guys.
🤣
Amazing video! Would be so cool to see you put some fox-3 on, replicating the F-4F ICE. And maybe fight a pair of F-15 with Fox 1s to show the advantages of having Fox3
The phantom really looks good about 80% of the time. Then every once in a while that huge fuselage with the low wing just makes it look like a milk tanker 😂
Nice video GS! Great mission work. SO when do we get to see gun pod stuff???? Asking for a Friend.
F-4s were still in service by the USAF & Luftwaffe when I joined. We had F-4s at Spang in USAFE. Man those things are loud...those, F-111s & Tornadoes are the worst...
I'm watching your videos and it looks like a lot of fun :) the amount of knowledge required to fly all those planes is crazy... :) how much research you have to do if you are starting a new module from times that you are not familiar with?
