Cam's flying throughout this video was fantastic. Especially when he was defensive against the F-22 in the Su-35 really good stuff and I was amazed he survived as long as he did. Should have more of him in your videos
well in syria russians claim and shown photos of a captured f22 tracked by su35. They showed on our west news. They also claim they are the best stealth but a syrian s200 shot a israel f35, israels claim the f35 hit by bird. Is all over internet news 3 years ago. But you free to believe whatever you want. Also they are 40 su57 in service and they use them in north ukraine to fly stealthy over air defenses and bombs. Here a video th-cam.com/users/shorts86dAN3KKbbQ?feature=share
I feel like with the stealths you might as well have an altitude and speed advantage. You don’t need to hide in terrain & you’ll get better missiles if any lower opponent gets close enough to see you.
Yup, this is just silly. "BVR" but everyone is just hiding behind *buildings* and using super-zoom Mk.II eyeball. Then again, DCS's poor radar and missile mechanics does incentivise 3rd-gen Vietnam-style flying. Even peer-to-peer 4th-gen combat, with the official "PFM Modules", devolves into this weird ground-hugging pseudo anti-Fox-2 gameplay. It's exactly what I'd expect if you just took the 3rd-gen aircraft and their unreliable rear-aspect Fox-2 missiles from the Vietnam era, and simply made them faster, more maneuverable and cooler looking, while keeping the tech and tactics essentially unchanged. Radar guided Fox-1 missiles are essentially just clones of the Fox-2s, replacing flares with chaff and putting the seeker on the aircraft, but keeping the fundamental tech and tactics the same. The introduction of Fox-3s into this ecosystem would obviously prove extremely deadly for the ground-huggers (just look at how the playerbase complains about Fox-3s being too good, unfair and 'not fun'). So the Fox-3s were simply given a gamified exploit that allowed those same Vietnam-era tactics to be used against even the fastest, highest Fox-3 launch, thereby nullifying any advantage that building and keeping your energy up, being disciplined and respecting standoff distances, or even just practicing and knowing your timelines, etc. would have given the 4th-gen pilot.
@@mortlet5180 it's a difficult thing as we have to acknowledge that it's a game first and a sim second so it makes me wonder if they should just offer an option on the missles server side for if you want them totally realistic or gameified
@@pottyputter05 What I wouldn't give to have "full-fidelity" missile modules that we could buy. Yes this could easily be controlled on a per-server basis, but I don't think that's the issue here. Think about it, IRL Air-to-Air missiles (AAMs) don't need to hit you and they almost never miss by very small distances, like we often see in DCS. This is exactly why missile designers are willing to degrade the kinematics, range and the maneuverability of their missiles so much to put large explosive warheads on (reference the payload in The Rocket Equation), when even just the supersonic missile impact and subsequent internal detonation of 1-2kg of RDX would be enough to neutralize most modern lightweight fighters. ED pushes to achieve the most "Realism", while actively ignoring any classified information (and even unclassified or declassified info if it didn't come with explicit, verifiable and written permission to publicly disseminate said information). While this seems sound in principle, in practice they misuse it as an excuse to keep inaccurate or even completely unrealistic things in DCS. They even use it to actively ignore (or in some cases even completely revert it after the fact) multiple, fairly reliable (but not up to their 'standards') sources of information, even when it's obvious that DCS is lacking in that area and that no better source of that specific info is freely available either. One very visible example of this, as it relates to AAMs in DCS, is Proximity Fusing. It is common knowledge (or at least easily verifiable) that kinetic "Hit-to-Kill" interceptor guidance, compared to using an explosive warhead which only requires guidance to get somewhere within tens to hundreds of meters (depending on warhead size, altitude, etc.) of the target, has been a *much* more difficult and less reliable technique until (arguably) very recently. However, even with the AAMs we currently have in DCS and all their problems, ED have decided that it is more 'realistic' to have fighters 'defeat' active radar homing missiles, that came to within 15m (~50ft) of them, by literally out turning the missile (not decoying, masking or otherwise confusing the seeker). Sometimes the fighters are even flying so close and parallel to their persuing missiles that it seems like formation flying. ED insists that this is better and more realistic than having lagging/de-synced players die from a missile that they never saw hitting them. This doesn't make much sense as players are then able to exploit all manner of network issues (high latency, variable latency, packet drops, duplicate packets, etc.) to get a very significant edge. Indeed this lag-teleporting phenomenon was already widely observed years ago when this topic of proximity fusing was being actively discussed. Considering the past and current rate of progress on this, I have absolutely no hope of getting even semi-realistic proxy fusing in DCS withh the next 5-10 years. However, if we ever do get it, you can bet that they will nerf the missiles so that the proxy fusing doesn't suddenly result in a much higher Pk or substantially decrease those Hollywood-worthy, high-G near-misses!
Recipe to counter a flat spin: Air brakes deployed, flaps down, landing gear down, rudder opposite to the spin direction, full throttle, cook it with abundant altitude.
Amazing flying Grump. What's crazy is that's exactly what you see from the Russian pilots from Telegram videos taken by witnesses on the ground. Both their Su-35's and even attack aircraft like their Su-25's are keeping super lower altitudes, and then only pop up to fire, launch a salvo of flares, and hit the deck again. There's actually about 4-5 videos of Su-25's doing this, and I think about 2 of the Su-35's, that I've personally seen. I understand AESA isn't modeled, but people need to realize that Russian and other nations like India who are flying the PESA equipped Sukhoi's & MiG's have been doing training against AESA equipped adversaries, and have still had success, so tactics have been developed and employed. Not to mention the Russians relying on their IRST sensor more than most nations.
Iam prety sure American have exaggerate their planes abilities. Su 35 and 57 have made the best radars to detect stealth from bvr engage. Of course mods in dcs are incomplete. Not a hater and personally i like f22 to much. But russian planes are in another lvl.
@@alekosalekadis6095 I'm pretty sure the SU-57 isn't all that. All development in Russia is full of corruption, so yeah it's going to be very lacking in some aspects. Not to mention there are like 10 of them or something like that. On the other hand F-22 is being kept under wraps when it comes to some functions. To my understanding they limited the pilots from taking part in international excercises, since the pilots aren't allowed to use all of the plane's abilities when other countries are present. Operating with limited abilities lead to some bad habits forming so they put a stopper on it.

CAP, I was surprised you didn't zoom out to Sea, speed up, let the F-35 draw them in with quick pulses from the radar and then shoot them from the side or rear. The F-22 super cruise would be a big help to get into position before giving up the location. I'll watch the rest of the video and see what happens.
"Grump doesn't have a stealth fighter" Doesn't matter in DCS since ED has not clue what stealth means in regard to low observables aircraft. EW and ATC radar have no problem seeing stealth fighters (the tails B2 is a different story). Radar that is accurate enough for fire control has a big problem seeing (and targeting) stealth aircraft. Also, the SU-57 is loaded with right angles that render it no more stealthy than an F16. And then there is the US doctrine of using the F22 and F35 going radar silent, the F35 finds targets with its EO sensors, F22 fires missiles in the direction provided by the F35 which then datalinks the missiles to the targets. No radar required at any point. But as that is a technology from the last 20 years I don't expect ED to understand that. Heck they still have AGM-88 acting like AGM-45, going stupid when the radar is turned off and ignoring their INS. DCS is a really good attempt at a flight simulator, but they have cut too many corners for it to be considered realistic. They should give their aircraft fantasy names and stop trying to push them off as the real thing. Flight models are accurate enough, but damage modeling is too generic across aircraft and weapon systems are buffed or nerfed to make it not really matter.
I mean you can't really complain about it when you use modded aircraft. None of the vanilla planes have stealth so there is no point in ED wasting time programming more detail. I with GR would use less mods as 99% of the time it's just a janky mess.
@@Kevin-hb7yq Not really. Aspect is already calculated as part of rasterization of the plane's meshes when drawing each frame and the angle of each surface is already calculated for lighting. The only reason why it probably isn't done already is because there isn't much of a point as it won't change gameplay at all.
@@cockatoo010 with all due respect is clear you don't know anything about the subject, I recommend you to do your research because firstly the rcs data is classified, not to mention that the rcs changes constantly depending on the angle and the radar wave lenght, and the Su 57 does use composite materials and has an radar absorbing paint.
In the third fight with cap in the felon, I think Cap’s canopy was opened at the very start of the flight. No idea on the speed brake but maybe bad binding.
DCS: I am the greatest and most accurate flight sim on the planet ! Also DCS: Don't forget to blow your canopy when you get into a dogfight so you can hear when the enemy aircraft shoots at you...
Re-Re-Match Please! Excellent scenario! Herculean effort! (and yes, I stopped getting all of my favorite TH-cam videos, until I switched it from "personalized" to "all" too, so you're not just imagining it)
Recent thing i learned about the su-57 is it has nearly the same indentical side profile as a yf-23. The russians definitly were checking out those yf-23s when we had them just sitting out in the sun. We should of atleast put them indoors. But its stealth profile from the rear is basically non existant on the su-57. And thats where the YF-23 excels over any fighter, basically to this day. Its giant tails that were the size of an f-35 wing alone gave them impressive performance without the need of vectoring. And the flat underside also helped. They were going mach 1.8-2.0 while the raptor hit 1.56 tops.
@@lastknownjedi5119 I doubt that, its a completely new design made from a computer. I know this for a fact. Its a diamondwing completely unique frame, still to this day, basically a 6th gen airframe made in the 80s.
- The thing about side profile and YF-23 being left in the sun makes no sense. - Thrust vectoring will always be better for maneuvers, especially at low speed, when wings don't receive enough air. - The YF-23 tails were so big because they combined vertical and horizontal surfaces. In plan view, they look normally sized. - No point in going faster than the F-22, since stealth coatings degrade with high speed temperatures.
Doesn't matter actually, when it boils down to it, there are only so many ways to solve a problem. Just look at the C-5 Galaxy and AN-124, they look very similar from the side profile, but the same mission requirements dictated their aesthetics before they even could get to adding the instrumentation and engines. Same with the "Checkmate" and F-35 as well as the Korean "Baby F-22"
no , they have gone their own path , just like the usa they experimented with various forms across the years. the chinese J20 though is suppposedly based on the Mig1.44 , i mean they bought one of the prototypes.
I heard a rumor that the Su-57 isn't actually that stealthy at all. I saw a picture of it up close and you could see the rivets holding it together. But hey, when have the Russians ever lied?
10 experimental units were produced, each for a different role. 6 were built as a serial unit. The serial units don't have the rivet problem. I recommend watching "Millennium 7*" channel. Dude has made an hour long video about it.
Easy question to answer the one at the end... YES I WANT TO SEE MORE! Problems aside, it is interesting to also see you try to work around them as well, such as the stuck airbrake :P
Wish the mod creator of the F-35 would update the flight model. We know now (from video evidence, and estimated sustained then rate and AOA) that the F-35 pulls higher AOA than an F-18, and sustains tighter turns than an F-16.
This 1000%, there's a video of an F35 pulling the same loop into flat spin physics witchcraft that the F22 can w/o vectoring, albeit a little less nimbly. The thing is just so capable that I think people are in a state of disbelief; I imagine if it were accurately modeled it might get a little unfair tho
@@forzaelite1248 any plane can enter a flat spin , it just depends on weather it can get out of it or not , some can and some cannot and those high alpha maneuvers depends on its speed n sht
@@hemendraravi4787 yeah I should've probably specified post stall maneuvering and recovery but it can do it at will whereas before a flat spin was grounds for an eject, not quite sure about it out-rating the F16 but with the engine and tech available it shouldn't be too hard to beat what we've done before
Russia has neither the time nor the money to build QUALITY things. 'Good Enough' is fine for them. Over optimization is the root of all evil. Ask Nazi Germany.
@@stalinliberator464 DCS is the most realistic military flight sim. And just cause your a commie don't mean you get to say that Russia builds quality planes.
The problem with this is no one has an objective to go after. Can you imagine the non stealth plane flying around in buildings when he has something he needs to attack or defend. The stealth planes wouldn't fly anywhere near him in real life. They would go do their mission while he played around in the buildings.
@@Laerei If he played around in the buildings while they were bombing his base or fuel depot or ammo dump he would be useless. Just like he had no air capability. He would have to come out to play or lose everything.
Hey Cap, Have you seen the community F-35 mod? What are your thoughts on it? If I may, any chance you could reach out to them and see if they’d let you showcase it? Its been in the works for years and looks great. Miles ahead of the VSN one we use now. Interesting video as always, hope you and the misses are doing well. PS; a short video on getting the R-77M working for the Su-35 would really help some of us less .lua gifted people out ;)
Tries to outrun a missile in an F-22. Flys too high without O2 on and blacks out. Accidently blows the canopy mid fight. Launches missile too low and blows up own plane. Fun to watch but not sure how good the pilots were lmao
@34:50 Why was Cap so mad that he made a sonic boom? What's the disadvantage of creating one in a dog fight? And I'm so sorry if I ask these questions, but I'm trying my best to learn what's going on in these simulations. 👍 p.s. thnx Cap for the editorial vid you sent me on the HUD.
when aircraft made sonic boom it created a massive "cloud" around it (from sub sonic speed to super sonic speed), this is model in the game, so if some one (the enemy team) by chance saw that "cloud" they would know some one is there, it basically says to every one "Hey! I'm here, point your radar at me!"
@@somsokca7836 of courses, know it makes perfect sense. Forgot about all those cool cloud burst IRL. Thnx so much for taking time to explain that. Be well. 🍻
Cap in the flanker I think would be better cause he dogfights like it’s natural he moves and just performs while he is planning in the stealth he over thinks to much and it cost him
Su-57 in another video makes me happy, It's interesting to see the change in approaches made to combat the stealth factor the tactics of using the Su-35 as bait and the buildings as cover is smart forcing the opposition close in for the Felon to intercept from the side to rear. I think if the F-35 stood off and let the raptor engage the Su-35 it's superior radar will help track the Felon especially if it gives its rear its lowest stealth aspect. overall good fight and great video keep em coming
Well the SU-57 is buffed in this mod, not to mention the Su-57 isnt a stealth plane. And the F-22 is also nerfed for 'Balance' Im not sure why considering this is SIM but ask the mod creators not me. Im not sure about the F-35, havent looked at the mod
@@kohlshu8979 I know the jets aren't accurate by any means but working with what they have at hand it was still was a commendable fight, Irl Su-57 has stealth aspects but not on the level of the F-22 and F-35 but it still has stealth qualities. If this was a accurate fight the F-22 and F-35 would've at best max ranged both the Su-35 and Su-57 at worst knock them out at 10 miles.
The first production model of SU 57 has slightly improved its RCS by applying 30% RAM coating on it and the RCS of around of SU 57 which is actually an (serial production) around 0.01m2 as the size of the human fist. But still it not as stealthy as F22 and F35 which has the RCS of around 0.005m2 and 0.00015m2. But remember the SU 57 has a stealth features which might help to undetect in a Long Visual Range.
Kohlshu all over the internet. Do some research. People complaining or saying “the SU57 isn’t stealth lol” or “my raptor will eat it before it ever sees it coming” is just wrong. Most times it is young children saying “my stealth jet will beat up your stealth jet”
I've been bugging for a F-35 Lightning VS SU-57 BVR Fight although I heard it wouldn't make sense because they both have the exact same stats in terms of stealth and that the FELON would dominate if they were to make it to a merge, however this fight makes a little more sense!
I think this definitely deserves to be redone there should be no mistakes and a winner definitely has to be declared I honestly would suggest replacing the SU-35 with the J-20
The Super Flanker going low the to the buildings (if memory serves me right) is like the Harrier's in Falkland war staying low to fight forcing the enemy Mirage to go down to fight them. Cause if the Harrier went up to the optimal altitude for the Mirage they would have lose.
The Flanker should have stayed high and way back and just kept illuminating the Yanks to keep them guessing while the Felon maneuvered to nail them as they went hunting the (non-existant) Flanker in the city.
i’m no ordie but i’m pretty sure if we were flying stealth with air superiority payload, an F-35 in reality would be carrying 2 aim-9s and 4 aim-120s which i don’t think is bad but i was only an avionics maintainer and never really studied the radar cross section with specific payloads
If I was on the Russian side, I'd use the "Felon" as a sniper (staying low), and the "Flanker" as bait. Never thought I'd see air to air urban combat!!
@@williamhumber5890 I mean they got one clean round off before it fell apart do to stupid stuff and really dumb trigger happy tactics probably DCS and human error
You've just fired a missile at a target within 10 miles.... they have used the terrain to evade it..... do you A) Turn and run (bearing in mind they can probably visually see you now) or B) Use the terrain yourself..... I guess we know the answer now! Thanks for clearing that one up Cap! Also...tactically.... a 20 mile split pincer would have been a better move, pinging the F-35's radar on and off to draw in the two SU's with the 22 flanking
Fun to watch video. However in real life I think both Russian jets would go down by a missile hit by a jet that never showed up on their radar screen. They would be left wondering where the jet was located that fired that missile.
@@timmyburden5701 the SU-57 is a 5th gen fighter with current gen stealth and is super maneuverable. The SU-35 would absolutely be prey for the F22 unless it can get within range to find it, but the SU-35 is better in every way to the F35 other than stealth. So I really don't think it would be that easy.
@@dylan4972 I mean you could be right. I still feel that the su57 would have a difficult time getting any good lock on a f35 beyond visual range. I do think the su57 is very maneuverable in a close dog fight. India tried out a su57 and they were not impressed. The su57 does look cool.
@@TerraZetzz I mean the F-22 has capabilities that the pilots are not allowed to use in combat exercises with allies and NATO countries. From what I've observed Eastern countries will OVERSTATE the capabilities of their equipment while Western countries ESPECIALLY America will UNDERSTATE the capabilities of their equipment and be way more secretive about it. For a historical example look at the MIG-25 and how pathetic this war in Ukraine has been so far with big bad Russia. The J-20 could very well be the exact same. Because the specs I've seen about that thing look utter fantasy at least the B model and in my opinion could probably be like a child trying to wear daddy's boots. Is it smart to underestimate them? No. And the U.S. is not underestimating them, but just like China's GDP they're more in likely overstating the significance.
@@somsokca7836 I've been playing DCS for years, I rarely see an aircraft survive a direct hit from an Aim-120. If It did, it was a larger aircraft. The Felon just isn't modeled correctly. They said in the video that the Felon is taking more missiles than it should to bring down.
That’s wrong f-22 is rarely tracked the f-35 is uncommonly tracked n the su-57 is made to be stealthy buh doesn’t have the same stealth capabilities as f-22 n f-35
aint no way an f35, one of the worst modern day dogfighters beat a su 35, one of the best modern day dogfighters in a dogfight even if the f35 started on the flanker's six. if russia claims that point its nose at anything with ease, it should still get offensive pretty quick be able to pull out of a flat spin.
@@fadli_1577 im not sure you would say that when your up against a su 35 when your in an f35 in a dogfight and the su 35 just points its nose at you with ease. its just russia who doesn't know how to use its weapons and their undertrained pilots
@@Goober_____ It's an updated, somewhat scaled down version of the radar the Raptor uses. It might not actually be better, in some ways. The Raptor's radar is bigger and therefor a bit more powerful.
Why didnt you use counter measures Cap? Was they allowed in this fight! Also the sensors on the F35 are the best about, thats what it is best at, in real life the F35 would have all the data and info well before anything else even the Raptor, a dog fight is the last thing it wants to be in. Its all about beyond visual range for the F35. I love the fact that us British have carriers again BUT for me it doesnt make sense to only have the F35B, it also needs something that can dog fight, it does carry helicopters but for me they really need something that is not stealth, something cheap that can carry a big load, at this moment the carrier with F35b's is too much of a specialised platform, but without a catapult they have limited themselves to the stovl aircraft, id like to see a few Harriers on there atleast
Before watching this, I can of think this is an uneven match up. 2 stealth crafts vs 1 stealth and 1 normal, as much as I love the Flanker, it is an awesome aircraft, stealth alone states it should be targeted and shot down, way before it gets anywhere near the F-22 and F-35 to take a shot. As much I would to watch the Russian's piss all over the USA, in this match, having 2 aircraft that can close to serious distance with out being ''seen'' is too much of an advantage. The SU-57, either flies formation with the flanker, in which case, it's position is known from a great distance, or it bugs out and leaves the flanker in which case, the flanker should be shot down in minutes, leaving a 2 v 1 case. EDIT: Ok I take that back. The flanker, that was some damn good flying, thought those buildings, impressive.
Sorry to break your communist bubble, but Russia would be the one getting pissed on in any real war scenario. There isn't a country on the planet powerful enough to "piss on" the U.S. #1 baby.
Cus low frequency radar can only tell you that there's SOMETHING, SOMEWHERE, and that's about it. And any communication between surface-to-air missiles and ground radar, would just give away the location of the ground radar. This is all 70 year old technology. There's nothing new here. There's really nothing involved in stealth technology or missile technology, that wasn't widely known to everyone in the scientific community in the 1940's.
@@ashscott6068 Don't you know where the ground radar is anyway? (I thought lf-radars were generally left on all the time) and I think they're accurate to around 100 meters (correct me if I'm wrong) so not enough to target an aircraft, but certainly enough to point a fox3 in the right direction.
@@gail_blue I think the positional accuracy of those big low frequency radars is a lot worse than 100m so it might be enough to vector a plane into the vicinity of a stealth jet, but not enough accuracy for a missile. The other problem is that those radars are very big and not particularly mobile so they make easy to find targets that would be prime candidates for cruse missile strikes and SEAD missions in the opening hours of a conflict.
The biggest problem I have with this simulation is that you are giving the Russian stealth fighters the same visibility and detection properties as the American fighters. From what I have read, that is not the case. The Russians would be disadvantaged
The biggest problem with this simulation + comments like yours is that we don't actually know how any of these work. Obviously we have a rough idea, but we can't know how exactly F-35/Su-57 work, so you can't say the Russians/Americans would have an advantage/disadvantage.
So yeah, as mentioned by others, the Su-57 is not really a stealth aircraft. It has an RCS of between 0.1 and 1 m2. About the same as a Super Hornet or Typhoon. But that isn't even the biggest problem. The Russians still don't have any missiles it can carry internally. The missiles it's supposed to carry are versions of the modernized Adders and Archers the Su-35 carries, but with smaller control surfaces to fit in the internal bays. Unfortunately, they are still in development. So as of right now, the Su-57 would need external racks to fight BVR, making it even less stealthy. Just speculation on my part, but is it actually confirmed that the Su-57 actually has functional internal weapons bays? Like we've seen F-35s, F-22s, and even J-20s with their bays open and/or firing a missile from their bays, but have we ever seen a Su-57 with its bays open? We know the Russians claim it has bays, but the Russians are known liars...
When they sent the Su-57 to Syria to conduct bombing missions they hadnt even finished the weapons management interface, they were literally using slide rules to work out where the manually released dumb bombs would land. Not that accuracy and collateral damage was something they ever cared about.
@@ferrous3262 I think you misunderstood what I was saying. Yes, the US developed modified missiles to fit in the internal weapons bays of the F-22 and F-35. What I am saying is that the Russians haven't done so yet. So the Su-57 can't carry its missiles internally like the F-35 or F-22.
What I would find super interesting, to see how they would perform if you add S-400, AWACS, Patriot, Pantsir,... In a conflict those systems will work together and a 1 vs 1 or 2 vs 2 is rare. While I think that in an offensive role the F-22 and F-35 are superior to the SU-57 and SU-35. I think that in a defensive role (or close to there own frontline) where the Russians are supported by there AWACS, S-400, Pantsir, BUK, TOR, Krasukha (electronic warfare system),... the US would get there ass handed to them.
@@MICLakVER Could be. However if you use stealth and use a radar (or any other active system) you give away your position. So in a steath fighter you need an AWACS to be your radar and than using a secure data link you get the data. I think that a Karasukha could jam this link between the AWACS and steath fighter and make the fighter blind. It could still use it's passive scanners. Maybe I am completly wrong.
@@philippe2715 no your logic is great karasukah jammed the link and f22 forced to use the radar and it give its position and if no jamming then s-400 will lock awacs at 400km and thats a trouble for f22 since no awacs suport and f22 forced to use its radar
Cam's flying throughout this video was fantastic. Especially when he was defensive against the F-22 in the Su-35 really good stuff and I was amazed he survived as long as he did. Should have more of him in your videos

Yes this could easily be controlled on a per-server basis, but I don't think that's the issue here.
Think about it, IRL Air-to-Air missiles (AAMs) don't need to hit you and they almost never miss by very small distances, like we often see in DCS. This is exactly why missile designers are willing to degrade the kinematics, range and the maneuverability of their missiles so much to put large explosive warheads on (reference the payload in The Rocket Equation), when even just the supersonic missile impact and subsequent internal detonation of 1-2kg of RDX would be enough to neutralize most modern lightweight fighters.
ED pushes to achieve the most "Realism", while actively ignoring any classified information (and even unclassified or declassified info if it didn't come with explicit, verifiable and written permission to publicly disseminate said information).
While this seems sound in principle, in practice they misuse it as an excuse to keep inaccurate or even completely unrealistic things in DCS. They even use it to actively ignore (or in some cases even completely revert it after the fact) multiple, fairly reliable (but not up to their 'standards') sources of information, even when it's obvious that DCS is lacking in that area and that no better source of that specific info is freely available either.
One very visible example of this, as it relates to AAMs in DCS, is Proximity Fusing. It is common knowledge (or at least easily verifiable) that kinetic "Hit-to-Kill" interceptor guidance, compared to using an explosive warhead which only requires guidance to get somewhere within tens to hundreds of meters (depending on warhead size, altitude, etc.) of the target, has been a *much* more difficult and less reliable technique until (arguably) very recently.
However, even with the AAMs we currently have in DCS and all their problems, ED have decided that it is more 'realistic' to have fighters 'defeat' active radar homing missiles, that came to within 15m (~50ft) of them, by literally out turning the missile (not decoying, masking or otherwise confusing the seeker). Sometimes the fighters are even flying so close and parallel to their persuing missiles that it seems like formation flying.
ED insists that this is better and more realistic than having lagging/de-synced players die from a missile that they never saw hitting them.
This doesn't make much sense as players are then able to exploit all manner of network issues (high latency, variable latency, packet drops, duplicate packets, etc.) to get a very significant edge. Indeed this lag-teleporting phenomenon was already widely observed years ago when this topic of proximity fusing was being actively discussed.
Considering the past and current rate of progress on this, I have absolutely no hope of getting even semi-realistic proxy fusing in DCS withh the next 5-10 years. However, if we ever do get it, you can bet that they will nerf the missiles so that the proxy fusing doesn't suddenly result in a much higher Pk or substantially decrease those Hollywood-worthy, high-G near-misses!
@@pottyputter05 Weird how the sim that's so complicated to fly that you'd need a pilot's license to takeoff is gamified in such a way.
Recipe to counter a flat spin: Air brakes deployed, flaps down, landing gear down, rudder opposite to the spin direction, full throttle, cook it with abundant altitude.
Aside from the bugs this turned out to be a really weird one. Su-35 killing F-22 and getting killed by F-35 in dogfight
it also wouldve helped to use chaff while youre trying to "run away" from their radar guided missile haha
@@paradiddlesixix7530 that was weird. Incoming missile and his defensive strat is to try and outrun it?
Did the F35 even get guns on at all? I think the Su-35 killed itself.
@@JelqSmith F-35A has gun
Amazing flying Grump. What's crazy is that's exactly what you see from the Russian pilots from Telegram videos taken by witnesses on the ground. Both their Su-35's and even attack aircraft like their Su-25's are keeping super lower altitudes, and then only pop up to fire, launch a salvo of flares, and hit the deck again. There's actually about 4-5 videos of Su-25's doing this, and I think about 2 of the Su-35's, that I've personally seen. I understand AESA isn't modeled, but people need to realize that Russian and other nations like India who are flying the PESA equipped Sukhoi's & MiG's have been doing training against AESA equipped adversaries, and have still had success, so tactics have been developed and employed. Not to mention the Russians relying on their IRST sensor more than most nations.
Iam prety sure American have exaggerate their planes abilities. Su 35 and 57 have made the best radars to detect stealth from bvr engage. Of course mods in dcs are incomplete. Not a hater and personally i like f22 to much. But russian planes are in another lvl.
@@alekosalekadis6095 I'm pretty sure the SU-57 isn't all that. All development in Russia is full of corruption, so yeah it's going to be very lacking in some aspects. Not to mention there are like 10 of them or something like that.
On the other hand F-22 is being kept under wraps when it comes to some functions. To my understanding they limited the pilots from taking part in international excercises, since the pilots aren't allowed to use all of the plane's abilities when other countries are present. Operating with limited abilities lead to some bad habits forming so they put a stopper on it.
@@LarryJL well in syria russians claim and shown photos of a captured f22 tracked by su35. They showed on our west news. They also claim they are the best stealth but a syrian s200 shot a israel f35, israels claim the f35 hit by bird. Is all over internet news 3 years ago. But you free to believe whatever you want.
Also they are 40 su57 in service and they use them in north ukraine to fly stealthy over air defenses and bombs.
Here a video th-cam.com/users/shorts86dAN3KKbbQ?feature=share
CAP, I was surprised you didn't zoom out to Sea, speed up, let the F-35 draw them in with quick pulses from the radar and then shoot them from the side or rear. The F-22 super cruise would be a big help to get into position before giving up the location. I'll watch the rest of the video and see what happens.
"Grump doesn't have a stealth fighter"
Doesn't matter in DCS since ED has not clue what stealth means in regard to low observables aircraft.
EW and ATC radar have no problem seeing stealth fighters (the tails B2 is a different story). Radar that is accurate enough for fire control has a big problem seeing (and targeting) stealth aircraft.
Also, the SU-57 is loaded with right angles that render it no more stealthy than an F16.
And then there is the US doctrine of using the F22 and F35 going radar silent, the F35 finds targets with its EO sensors, F22 fires missiles in the direction provided by the F35 which then datalinks the missiles to the targets. No radar required at any point. But as that is a technology from the last 20 years I don't expect ED to understand that. Heck they still have AGM-88 acting like AGM-45, going stupid when the radar is turned off and ignoring their INS.
DCS is a really good attempt at a flight simulator, but they have cut too many corners for it to be considered realistic. They should give their aircraft fantasy names and stop trying to push them off as the real thing. Flight models are accurate enough, but damage modeling is too generic across aircraft and weapon systems are buffed or nerfed to make it not really matter.
I mean you can't really complain about it when you use modded aircraft. None of the vanilla planes have stealth so there is no point in ED wasting time programming more detail. I with GR would use less mods as 99% of the time it's just a janky mess.
are you going to pull a "challenger" and release classified material on how stealth in those fighters work?
aspect matters, hard to model in a sim
TBH stealth is only roughly modelled in game at moment.
@@Kevin-hb7yq Not really. Aspect is already calculated as part of rasterization of the plane's meshes when drawing each frame and the angle of each surface is already calculated for lighting. The only reason why it probably isn't done already is because there isn't much of a point as it won't change gameplay at all.
I think the figures that are thrown about the most are F22 with an RCS of 0.0001, F35 at 0.005 and SU57 at 0.1 - 1.
F-35 is stealthier than F-22 according to remarks by Airforce officials
@@mac2857 also it is smaller and if the same or similar paint etc is used, the F35 should habe a significant advantage from several angles
The SU-57 has a larger RCS than that. It's lack of radar-absorbing coating and other issues make it as large as a clean super hornet's
@@cockatoo010 with all due respect is clear you don't know anything about the subject, I recommend you to do your research because firstly the rcs data is classified, not to mention that the rcs changes constantly depending on the angle and the radar wave lenght, and the Su 57 does use composite materials and has an radar absorbing paint.
@@cockatoo010 yeah this is you just hating not facts. Watch the channel combat approved it shows the su 57 in detail
In the third fight with cap in the felon, I think Cap’s canopy was opened at the very start of the flight. No idea on the speed brake but maybe bad binding.
it was frustrating to watch him with airbrake ON...
Probably just oversped it on his way down from ~45 000ft.
DCS: I am the greatest and most accurate flight sim on the planet !
Also DCS: Don't forget to blow your canopy when you get into a dogfight so you can hear when the enemy aircraft shoots at you...
@@rags417 i mean, theyre community generated mods, right?
Re-Re-Match Please! Excellent scenario! Herculean effort!
(and yes, I stopped getting all of my favorite TH-cam videos, until I switched it from "personalized" to "all" too, so you're not just imagining it)
Recent thing i learned about the su-57 is it has nearly the same indentical side profile as a yf-23. The russians definitly were checking out those yf-23s when we had them just sitting out in the sun. We should of atleast put them indoors. But its stealth profile from the rear is basically non existant on the su-57. And thats where the YF-23 excels over any fighter, basically to this day. Its giant tails that were the size of an f-35 wing alone gave them impressive performance without the need of vectoring. And the flat underside also helped. They were going mach 1.8-2.0 while the raptor hit 1.56 tops.
Has the side profile of a stealthy su-27 actually so the yf-23 was conceived with the su-27 profile in mind
@@lastknownjedi5119 I doubt that, its a completely new design made from a computer. I know this for a fact. Its a diamondwing completely unique frame, still to this day, basically a 6th gen airframe made in the 80s.
- The thing about side profile and YF-23 being left in the sun makes no sense.
- Thrust vectoring will always be better for maneuvers, especially at low speed, when wings don't receive enough air.
- The YF-23 tails were so big because they combined vertical and horizontal surfaces. In plan view, they look normally sized.
- No point in going faster than the F-22, since stealth coatings degrade with high speed temperatures.
Doesn't matter actually, when it boils down to it, there are only so many ways to solve a problem.
Just look at the C-5 Galaxy and AN-124, they look very similar from the side profile, but the same mission requirements dictated their aesthetics before they even could get to adding the instrumentation and engines.
Same with the "Checkmate" and F-35 as well as the Korean "Baby F-22"
no , they have gone their own path , just like the usa they experimented with various forms across the years. the chinese J20 though is suppposedly based on the Mig1.44 , i mean they bought one of the prototypes.
Hell yeah! Your on a roll lol did I win a request lottery😆👍
Thanks for doing yet another request! Most appreciated, can't wait to watch!😁✌
I heard a rumor that the Su-57 isn't actually that stealthy at all. I saw a picture of it up close and you could see the rivets holding it together. But hey, when have the Russians ever lied?
Does it really matter ? They have like 3
10 experimental units were produced, each for a different role.
6 were built as a serial unit. The serial units don't have the rivet problem.
I recommend watching "Millennium 7*" channel. Dude has made an hour long video about it.
Those are the prototypes the serial production units have only entered service this year
@@CMarkem 6 and counting 🤦🏾

Easy question to answer the one at the end... YES I WANT TO SEE MORE!
Problems aside, it is interesting to also see you try to work around them as well, such as the stuck airbrake :P
"Mom... can we get an F-22 Raptor?"
"No sweetie, we all ready have one at home..."
**-F-22- at home (Su-57)**

Wish the mod creator of the F-35 would update the flight model. We know now (from video evidence, and estimated sustained then rate and AOA) that the F-35 pulls higher AOA than an F-18, and sustains tighter turns than an F-16.
Wtf ,f35 outrates the f16 ? No way
This 1000%, there's a video of an F35 pulling the same loop into flat spin physics witchcraft that the F22 can w/o vectoring, albeit a little less nimbly. The thing is just so capable that I think people are in a state of disbelief; I imagine if it were accurately modeled it might get a little unfair tho
@@forzaelite1248 any plane can enter a flat spin , it just depends on weather it can get out of it or not , some can and some cannot and those high alpha maneuvers depends on its speed n sht

The problem with this is no one has an objective to go after. Can you imagine the non stealth plane flying around in buildings when he has something he needs to attack or defend. The stealth planes wouldn't fly anywhere near him in real life. They would go do their mission while he played around in the buildings.
What if the mission is to reduce enemy air capability to zero?
@@Laerei If he played around in the buildings while they were bombing his base or fuel depot or ammo dump he would be useless. Just like he had no air capability. He would have to come out to play or lose everything.

Hey Cap,
Have you seen the community F-35 mod? What are your thoughts on it? If I may, any chance you could reach out to them and see if they’d let you showcase it? Its been in the works for years and looks great. Miles ahead of the VSN one we use now. Interesting video as always, hope you and the misses are doing well.
PS; a short video on getting the R-77M working for the Su-35 would really help some of us less .lua gifted people out ;)
Will try this now but I doubt we'll get anything. I haven't done anything to get R77M working BTW, it just works as default for us?
Despite the technical issues.. this was REALLY intense
Ahhhh, I love watching good pilots just getting at it
Tries to outrun a missile in an F-22. Flys too high without O2 on and blacks out. Accidently blows the canopy mid fight. Launches missile too low and blows up own plane. Fun to watch but not sure how good the pilots were lmao
@34:50 Why was Cap so mad that he made a sonic boom? What's the disadvantage of creating one in a dog fight? And I'm so sorry if I ask these questions, but I'm trying my best to learn what's going on in these simulations. 👍 p.s. thnx Cap for the editorial vid you sent me on the HUD.
when aircraft made sonic boom it created a massive "cloud" around it (from sub sonic speed to super sonic speed), this is model in the game, so if some one (the enemy team) by chance saw that "cloud" they would know some one is there, it basically says to every one "Hey! I'm here, point your radar at me!"
@@somsokca7836 of courses, know it makes perfect sense. Forgot about all those cool cloud burst IRL. Thnx so much for taking time to explain that. Be well. 🍻
Cap wasn’t mad he made one. He got worried because he heard one meaning the enemy was supersonic and just went right over it next to cap.
@@saulhannibal3819 yep this ^ is exactly what I thought. He was more like "oh shit an enemy aircraft just went right past me and I don't have visual".
Cap in the flanker I think would be better cause he dogfights like it’s natural he moves and just performs while he is planning in the stealth he over thinks to much and it cost him
Su 35 isnt a stealth aircraft but should be a lot harder to detect and lock anyway because of EW and still relativily low RCS
Su-57 in another video makes me happy, It's interesting to see the change in approaches made to combat the stealth factor the tactics of using the Su-35 as bait and the buildings as cover is smart forcing the opposition close in for the Felon to intercept from the side to rear. I think if the F-35 stood off and let the raptor engage the Su-35 it's superior radar will help track the Felon especially if it gives its rear its lowest stealth aspect. overall good fight and great video keep em coming
Well the SU-57 is buffed in this mod, not to mention the Su-57 isnt a stealth plane. And the F-22 is also nerfed for 'Balance' Im not sure why considering this is SIM but ask the mod creators not me. Im not sure about the F-35, havent looked at the mod
@@kohlshu8979 I know the jets aren't accurate by any means but working with what they have at hand it was still was a commendable fight, Irl Su-57 has stealth aspects but not on the level of the F-22 and F-35 but it still has stealth qualities. If this was a accurate fight the F-22 and F-35 would've at best max ranged both the Su-35 and Su-57 at worst knock them out at 10 miles.
The first production model of SU 57 has slightly improved its RCS by applying 30% RAM coating on it and the RCS of around of SU 57 which is actually an (serial production) around 0.01m2 as the size of the human fist. But still it not as stealthy as F22 and F35 which has the RCS of around 0.005m2 and 0.00015m2. But remember the SU 57 has a stealth features which might help to undetect in a Long Visual Range.
@@heatblast876 Source?
Kohlshu all over the internet. Do some research. People complaining or saying “the SU57 isn’t stealth lol” or “my raptor will eat it before it ever sees it coming” is just wrong. Most times it is young children saying “my stealth jet will beat up your stealth jet”
And the SU57’s dcs busted damage model strikes again.
Yeah idk why they test a model that eats missiles
I've been bugging for a F-35 Lightning VS SU-57 BVR Fight although I heard it wouldn't make sense because they both have the exact same stats in terms of stealth and that the FELON would dominate if they were to make it to a merge, however this fight makes a little more sense!
In dcs yes but irl not even close
In IRL the RCS of the F-35 puts the SU-57 to shame
In real life the SU-57 is apparently massive relative to other stealth aircraft. This is just what I've heard tell me if I'm wrong.

duly noted.
The Super Flanker going low the to the buildings (if memory serves me right) is like the Harrier's in Falkland war staying low to fight forcing the enemy Mirage to go down to fight them. Cause if the Harrier went up to the optimal altitude for the Mirage they would have lose.
The Flanker should have stayed high and way back and just kept illuminating the Yanks to keep them guessing while the Felon maneuvered to nail them as they went hunting the (non-existant) Flanker in the city.
Flanker could only see the US planes within 10 miles.
very cool fight!! it looks like a black out due to too many G forces
i’m no ordie but i’m pretty sure if we were flying stealth with air superiority payload, an F-35 in reality would be carrying 2 aim-9s and 4 aim-120s which i don’t think is bad but i was only an avionics maintainer and never really studied the radar cross section with specific payloads
Capt we changed the hat today and she likes it - all is well.
Did you get the $ back from old one I hope?
No it cost more 😪
If I was on the Russian side, I'd use the "Felon" as a sniper (staying low), and the "Flanker" as bait. Never thought I'd see air to air urban combat!!
What was that merge from the su-35? I see the pilot attended the Prometheus school of running away in a straight line.
is the data link on the F35 and F22 working in sim as the 35's main strength is to Bird dog for a missile truck to kill.
yeah I feel like F35 plus F15EX would be the actual comparison here if everything in DCS was like the real world

Its all about beyond visual range for the F35. I love the fact that us British have carriers again BUT for me it doesnt make sense to only have the F35B, it also needs something that can dog fight, it does carry helicopters but for me they really need something that is not stealth, something cheap that can carry a big load, at this moment the carrier with F35b's is too much of a specialised platform, but without a catapult they have limited themselves to the stovl aircraft, id like to see a few Harriers on there atleast

Before watching this, I can of think this is an uneven match up. 2 stealth crafts vs 1 stealth and 1 normal, as much as I love the Flanker, it is an awesome aircraft, stealth alone states it should be targeted and shot down, way before it gets anywhere near the F-22 and F-35 to take a shot. As much I would to watch the Russian's piss all over the USA, in this match, having 2 aircraft that can close to serious distance with out being ''seen'' is too much of an advantage.
The SU-57, either flies formation with the flanker, in which case, it's position is known from a great distance, or it bugs out and leaves the flanker in which case, the flanker should be shot down in minutes, leaving a 2 v 1 case.
EDIT: Ok I take that back. The flanker, that was some damn good flying, thought those buildings, impressive.
Sorry to break your communist bubble, but Russia would be the one getting pissed on in any real war scenario. There isn't a country on the planet powerful enough to "piss on" the U.S. #1 baby.
Grump's pretty damn good...lol
Do you guys play it in VR?
About 50% of the GR guys do.
Stick forward, right rudder and power.
So, will we ever get a Grim Reapers vs. Growling Sidewinder+LongShot crossover?
It's just no poss, we do our fights so differently.
@@grimreapers
Ah, understandable and it's not surprising from the different video formats.
Thanks for the explanation. 🐈⬛
How does the missle track a stealth plain
I'm surprised they don't use guidance from ground-based low-frequency radar to get missiles within [their own high-frequency radar] lock-on range.
Cus low frequency radar can only tell you that there's SOMETHING, SOMEWHERE, and that's about it. And any communication between surface-to-air missiles and ground radar, would just give away the location of the ground radar. This is all 70 year old technology. There's nothing new here. There's really nothing involved in stealth technology or missile technology, that wasn't widely known to everyone in the scientific community in the 1940's.
@@ashscott6068 Don't you know where the ground radar is anyway? (I thought lf-radars were generally left on all the time) and I think they're accurate to around 100 meters (correct me if I'm wrong) so not enough to target an aircraft, but certainly enough to point a fox3 in the right direction.
@@gail_blue I think the positional accuracy of those big low frequency radars is a lot worse than 100m so it might be enough to vector a plane into the vicinity of a stealth jet, but not enough accuracy for a missile. The other problem is that those radars are very big and not particularly mobile so they make easy to find targets that would be prime candidates for cruse missile strikes and SEAD missions in the opening hours of a conflict.
It’s not BVR if you guys can see each other
8:20 why didnt cap pop flares here?
I just didn't think he would be chasing me.
F-22 could have beat them all...
Bad pilot... 😆 lol
Great video love it..!!
The biggest problem I have with this simulation is that you are giving the Russian stealth fighters the same visibility and detection properties as the American fighters. From what I have read, that is not the case. The Russians would be disadvantaged
The biggest problem with this simulation + comments like yours is that we don't actually know how any of these work. Obviously we have a rough idea, but we can't know how exactly F-35/Su-57 work, so you can't say the Russians/Americans would have an advantage/disadvantage.
that was fun to watch
not sure why but my f22 in dcs isnt as maneuverable as yours
Are you doing a tutorial series on the f1?
Yup as soon as I get a chance next week.
Is there a way to install the su-35
We have an old version of the mod but have been asked not to share until it's re-released sry.
Airbrake stuck on? "This is not bug, this is feature of SU-57!"
So yeah, as mentioned by others, the Su-57 is not really a stealth aircraft. It has an RCS of between 0.1 and 1 m2. About the same as a Super Hornet or Typhoon. But that isn't even the biggest problem. The Russians still don't have any missiles it can carry internally. The missiles it's supposed to carry are versions of the modernized Adders and Archers the Su-35 carries, but with smaller control surfaces to fit in the internal bays. Unfortunately, they are still in development. So as of right now, the Su-57 would need external racks to fight BVR, making it even less stealthy.
Just speculation on my part, but is it actually confirmed that the Su-57 actually has functional internal weapons bays? Like we've seen F-35s, F-22s, and even J-20s with their bays open and/or firing a missile from their bays, but have we ever seen a Su-57 with its bays open? We know the Russians claim it has bays, but the Russians are known liars...
When they sent the Su-57 to Syria to conduct bombing missions they hadnt even finished the weapons management interface, they were literally using slide rules to work out where the manually released dumb bombs would land. Not that accuracy and collateral damage was something they ever cared about.
@@watcherzero5256 Lol, Russian engineering at its finest there.
@@djzoodude f22 missiles are changed to fit in the bay just like the su57
@@ferrous3262 I think you misunderstood what I was saying. Yes, the US developed modified missiles to fit in the internal weapons bays of the F-22 and F-35. What I am saying is that the Russians haven't done so yet. So the Su-57 can't carry its missiles internally like the F-35 or F-22.
well they dont lie as good as americans but uh...........
DCS doesn't support AESA radar? Or correct stealth RCS? That's not much of a simulator for new fighters then!
Good thing the over g doesn’t cause tunnel vision or black out
What I would find super interesting, to see how they would perform if you add S-400, AWACS, Patriot, Pantsir,...
In a conflict those systems will work together and a 1 vs 1 or 2 vs 2 is rare.
While I think that in an offensive role the F-22 and F-35 are superior to the SU-57 and SU-35.
I think that in a defensive role (or close to there own frontline) where the Russians are supported by there AWACS, S-400, Pantsir, BUK, TOR, Krasukha (electronic warfare system),...
the US would get there ass handed to them.
SU 35 + S-400 WILL BE SUFFICENT VS F22 F35 NO NEED OF KARASUKHA
@@MICLakVER Could be.
However if you use stealth and use a radar (or any other active system) you give away your position.
So in a steath fighter you need an AWACS to be your radar and than using a secure data link you get the data.
I think that a Karasukha could jam this link between the AWACS and steath fighter and make the fighter blind.
It could still use it's passive scanners.
Maybe I am completly wrong.
@@philippe2715 no your logic is great karasukah jammed the link and f22 forced to use the radar and it give its position and if no jamming then s-400 will lock awacs at 400km and thats a trouble for f22 since no awacs suport and f22 forced to use its radar
Should've had the J-20 instead of the SU-35
I think these are cool to watch but aren't 3 of these top secret and possibly nothing like the actual aircraft or avianonics?
I said fuc yah as you said F-35 down lol
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL
