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 prefer more up close and personal dogfights consider the IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battle series and experience intense WWII aerial combat over famous battlefields such as Stalingrad, Moscow, Rhineland and Normandy. Fight in and against Russian, American, German, British warbirds such as the P-51 Mustang, P-47 Thunderbolt, Bf-109, FW-190, Spitfire, Hurricane and rugged IL-2 Sturmovik attack plane. You can also fly legendary SPADS, Fokkers and Camels in WWI dogfights over the trenches of WWI and discover your inner Red Baron! And all of this can be experienced in jaw dropping virtual reality!
If you enjoy war thunder or Microsoft flight simulator 2020, 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.

J20 vs f22 BVR
How about some "No Step on Snek" under the GS Logo merch as appears on your website? It is so awesomely meta!
Probably one of the most creative sets of dogfights in a minute! That’s saying a lot, all the tricks were being pulled out of the bag today. Thanks again for the fix!
Rule no.1 : The enemy is supposed to be in FRONT not in the REAR
He bleed speed in first Circle, he cant fly for shit
@@SparkySlow bro shut the hell up every fight is different they have to jam the WEZ bc they have fox 2s. You know nothing
Kudos to the Tomcat pilot. Very well flown. Keeping to its strength and not pushing its luck.
GS is pumping awesome videos everyday. So many variations to witness, great!
Glad you're flying the fulcrum so often
Loving the low merge fights, really shakes things up!
Yeah, they get dynamic really quickly.
One of the most attractive things about GS's channel ethos is he often ends with he himself getting rekt by another pilot. The temptation to always appear as the winning Top Gun must be enormous and I applaud him for it.
Hahah I’ve never set out to make people think I’m the best, very average, lots of guys better than me out there, I’m just here to have fun and make a few videos along the way. No shame in showing a loss.
@@GrowlingSidewinder Pure Sigma male Rule- Never Hesitate in showing a Loss😉
Love your vids GS so proud to be your subscriber❤️
@@GrowlingSidewinder The shame (if they feel any) is entirely attached to someone who refuses to acknowledge a loss or the talent of an adversary. It is your demenour here and the character you display in game that dictates the quality of your fans.
Buttheads and trolls rarely last long at a quality site of which yours is one.
SR71 is slower than me when I get the GS video notification
Just saying the quality of the content has rose up immensely lately, and it's always been high. From when u were doing dogfights to teach the main ideas of those fights, to BVR fights, consisting of pure skill, to now, doing more creative stuff. I love it, keep it up man!
"He's supposed to be out front, not behind.." .. That IS kind of the idea 😆
Love all the MiG-29 content, what an underappreciated plane
It really is. I absolutely adore the Fulcrum
This is the first time you really demonstrated offseting the circles to escape a losing rate fight. I know you have been really successful watching for them to pull lead, tightening down, and reversing, but as you have described it, you are relying on the opponent to be impatient or doing a poor job of managing the closure. Perhaps if you work on this offset technique you would not be as reliant on an opponent mistake. Or is this even easier for the opponent to counter if they see it and understand what you are doing? Perhaps you could display it in Tacview and explain your cues, goals, and actions.
Yes, please and thank you.
"I thought I could bring him in closer."
-Growling Maverick
Your killing it with these MiG-29 vids! Keep them coming!
"or the RATE fight" I love how GS still does that haha
Two of the best looking aircraft ever IMO. Along with the F4
The Su-37 is still better looking, and the rest of the Flanker family.
Fantastic video! The fights between the older jets, somehow are more impressive.
Keep up the great work GS!
Never did I ever think I would hear about Venn Diagrams in the context of dogfighting XD
Nice
Love these videos it’s so hard to know what the hell is going on from films and stuff. Gives a real insight into what combat pilots actually have to do and think about. Well done. 👍🏻🤟
the second round was amazing, dodging the fox 2 was so cool and then winning from there is like a scene from a movie. good games
The 2nd round, that may have been one of the most exciting yet. I loved watching different tactics being used.
After almost 50 yrs still a dangerous adversary
This US Army Rotary Wing Aviator to the computer game simulator pilot...
You always crack me up!
Thank you so much for the hard work making these videos!
The Tomcat is such a bad ass plane. Grandpa kicking the whipper snappers into place at 50. Imagine if a modern day 'Super Tomcat' was built,with today's technology. It would be LETHAL.
When you are about to do a desperate jink, an appropriate thing to say is, "I'll try spinning--that's a good trick!"
Nice video dude, in my opinion, you are one of the best dcs content creators, love from Brazil
Thank you brother I really appreciate that
Brazilian Warthunder players also watch you
I'd love to see a video of you taking on an f22 or su57 or some other sort of "good/new" plane with you and a buddy in a 2v1. Maybe you and longshot in Hornets vs an f22? I don't really know much about how a 2v1 would go in close quarters. Even if it would be unfair, I'd still like to see it. Just an idea 🤷♂️ Thanks for the videos! Can tell you're working hard.
Just sort of going in that same vein of "a fight isn't always fair and you don't always know what you'll merge with" from a couple videos ago.
Tatch weave
@@Future-Preps35 I wonder if it was BVR? I was thinking more like in the merge. Still neat to hear! Very cool!
I watched you for like 2 years now and I still learn new things from you.
Beautiful and enthralling this fight. Didn't know Mig-29 vs F-14 had such potential.
Once again I like to mention, always love when u explain tactics with diagrams and stuff.
Thanks for the info.
If I ever get in a dogfight with my old Piper Vegabond I will have a few tricks up my sleeve.
"See if we can force an overshoot", he immediately takes out both your engines.. Yeah, that's a good way to get him to pass you.. LOL
Round 2 was soo sick man! That was awesome to watch!
Damn that tomcat can really perform in the rate fight that was a slick roll over but he came around the 2 circle quick
"No worries" he said with both engines burning.
13:44 - "That Tomcat nose, man," that Tomcat knows!
I didn't expect that F-14 could beat Mig-29 ! 😮
"You should try spinning, that's a good trick!" - Bananakin Skywalker
Both the Tomcat and the Fulcrum are very capable aircrafts, in a 1 vs 1 situation, the pilot's skill would be the deciding factor.
true i think GS is better in USA planes than in Russians
@@matej1016 I feel like the russian aircrafts are a bit underpowered compared to the U.S ones in DCS.
@@badasstasticusbadass4908 I agree, I also think the mig 29 under preforms in a 1 circle, or may not be correctly modeled.
This was very fun to watch, loving your content! I always love seeing a Tomcat in the thumbnail.
Awesomely creative move when you went into the mountains - kudos!
Damn, in that first round the Cat was "polishing the cannonball" with his delayed gunfire.
I reckon he had you cold at least twice before the actual kill.
@@pogo1140 True, but as a fan of deflection shooting I feel it is an underated art these days.The high deflection attack is easy to miss coming at you because it's not encountered so often.Yes, it is alow percentage shot when done badly but when done right it's like a fist you don't see coming. I love watching an enemy fly into a well aimed deflection stream...it's a thing of beauty :)
5:23 Look at him go, What a majestic plane
I'm glad Shah decided to go with F-14 instead of F-15 in the 70s.
Tnx for trying F-14 and other Iranian version planes once in a while.
The 29s used to be giving our 18d boys some hard time until they are retired from the service. What I heard is that the two Sqn literally don't talk to each other. Now it's 30-MKM that's enjoying the limelight.
Two of the prettiest airplanes ever made destroying each other. Such a shame.
“Left engine fire! Ok. We’re ok….”😂😂
Second match was great, adapted really quickly as everything developed.
F-14 thrust vectoring upgraded engines to top performance and electrical platforms for 5th gen fighters…… we have a basic idea what the lead angel of god Gabriel looks like
˝If you intend to win, you must not lose˝ -Alan Ford
That second fight was amazing! Would have been a great tacview, beautiful to watch.
I saw the seismic charges scene of star wars attack of the clones last night and saw that part where Obi wan lost visual on Jengo Fett and Jengo got on Obi wan's six and started pouring blaster fire into him. I saw Obi-wan start reversing the turns and my mind automatically inserted GS' voice "taking him into the one circle.... Into the rolling scissors"
GS is gonna take at least one round, no matter WHAT he's flying or WHAT he's flying against 😂🤣 love it dude!
A Tomcat on your six is both a beautiful and scary site!
LOVE YOUR SHOW. I was thinking about all this work it must take to produce your show, and the amazing amount of information that you juggle to win the day.
So essentially the U.S need to put a glass cockpit in the tomcat and get it back into service
Echoes of Merlin in topgun.."You're gonna do WHAT!?"🤣
Great video. Where did he go? Where did who go?😂😂😂
Intense match-up! I could really feel the pf moments especially for this one.
Awesome video today man, I'd love to see more about offsetting the two-circle
I request more "two idiots"
Watching you two knuckleheads playing off each other pleases me.
The 1v1 tactical vids are action... but sometimes, just sometimes - comedy is what i crave.
It looks like flying the MiG29 is really honing your skills
5:16 "You dare use my own moves against me?!"
It is an outstanding plan that will survive contact with realty.
GS never disappoints in either case.
Ive never seen someone love a plane as much as you love the mig-29... But I love it
Good Tomcat pilot in this video. Not sure I could have kept a Tomcat in the air during those rolling scissors.
the F-14 has been dominating in your vids
10:09 Wow that Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-30-1 really doesn’t mess around. The quote "it is reported to be extremely accurate as well as powerful" may be very true after all.
Slammer would be proud on the tomcat driver.
GS you should do a video showing what your top favorite planes to fly are
he already made a video like this
For some reason I would've assumed that in a turn-and-burn within-visual-range dogfight the MiG-29 would be more nimble and dominate the F-14 with its higher thrust-to-weight ratio...
If fox2s were allowed in any situation in this fights the mig29 would have won all of them, especially with the R73+ HMD
^ this is correct, as soon as you allow the Mig to use its HMD and the AA-11 Archer the Tomcat is Toast.
@@UUUU-dn9wz I was thinking strictly in terms of gunfighting... but yes, I did know the MiG-29 had High Off-Boresight missiles since a long time ago.
@@GrowlingSidewinder question is do the Iranians have that missile and HMD capability in their MiG-29s though?
@@doncalypso in terms of gunfighting at an altitude this low it has no chance. If the fight started at higher altitudes the MiG would have many more chances in the 1 circle to kill the tomcat
4:39
Mig 29: *screams like a girl* Mister tomcat Have mercy have mercy im sorry!! Wahhhh!!
Tomchad: **NO** *Kills the russian Girl*
Mig 29: Cyka Blyat о, мамочка! AHHHH!!!!
The first Mig-29 was shot down by an Iranian F14 using an AIM-23 missile which is a MIM-23 Hawk missile modified to be used instead of the AIM-54 since the Iranians were low on Phoenixes late war.
Fantastic use of everything!
It would be cool to see something like a community fight night where you fight with viewers or they fight with each other and you break down the fight. Idk just something I'd be interested in seeing
Amazing content, but don’t get burned out GS!
Amazing. Amazing fight dude. GS is such a difficult opponent even as underdog.
Absolutely amazing content! Would love to see the tacview on how you offset the circles in a rate fight
Amazing video again. Quite surprised the Mig-29 isn't a lot better. Always thought the 29 would be a lot better then the Tomcat in a dogfight.
In reality, it is :)
2nd round is the best fight in my opinion, the use of terrain for tactical advantage.
This is that less careful people want to see in War Thunder LOL I just can not imagine how these jets will be ''Gaijinized''.
Please make a tacview on the offset 2-circle!
I'm an iranian. Thanks for the video. Welcome to my home guys.
I would like an explanation of why a larger aircraft like the tomcat can outrate a fulcrum. Thrust to weight is better in the fulcrum as well max g-load, wing loading is lower in the tomcat maybe?
I don't understand it either..but it's the modelling I guess, not reality?
You know what would be interesting? A merge at 35,000 feet, or even one at Angels 40. Might change things up a bit, who knows?
*Thanks for vid, very informative!!*
That was intense that cats nose omg
Good fights! Thanks guys :)
It was a very interesting fight nice video!
Very good one GS ..... can you talk about moves against superior fightr in 1 circle as well in next videos? how about them?
The cat is just a fantastic plane. It is a supersonic bomber sized stuff and still capable of win dogfight against the best interceptors of the era. And we have no D variant which is even more deadly just for sure. Super Tomcat for the people Heatblur, pleeeeease.
I watched a video yesterday about a planned tomcat that got dropped. Didn't know if you could do one for the DCS. It was stealth, thrust vectoring the works. Still had the f14 look. Pretty cool if you never heard about it.
I suppose the tactics from round 2 does diddle squat against the raptor and felon?
Damn my man is really goin in on the mig29 goin up against his old fav the f14
To growling sidewinder can you make a MIG 35 a cockpit model an upgrade version of mig 29 so I really just wanted to know that how mig 35 is really good at capable in dogfight as well as in BVR match.
There are no mods currently for MiG35 unfortunately but in dogfights it would improve where the 29 lacks. It would get less drag, bigger wings so tighter turns , better sustained /radius turns, more thrust and a FBW. So it would make it one of the best if not the best dog fighter in DCS currently excluding other mods.
BVR wise it would be on par with any other 4.5+ gen fighters.
I don’t quite understand how you create the offset 2 circle. Do you just continually tighten down and accept the loss of speed as a reasonable risk?
Cut paste, asides like this should be slotted into action movies.
What's the name of the song that plays during the kill replay
10:05 at that moment i was almost screaming "KILL HIM, CMON!!!"
Im not sure when i learn more. When you slash a bandit? or when you get splashed? Both are pretty valuable to new drivers
This was really exciting
