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. - เกม

Might be sold to the U.S. MARINE CORPS, cause they want it.
Hey bud. I think that second hind got shot down from friendly fire. I think it was one of the surface to air missles that missed you! 😂
NGAD vs F-15 ACTIVE, dogfight, guns and missles plzkthx
SU-57 vs F-15 ACTIVE, dogfight, guns only plzkthx
I know you don't normally do what if dogfights but could you do an F-22 with python 5's vs Su-57 with archers? Or something similar
Day 31 asking for F-22 vs 10 MiG 21
1:13 " was thinking to drop a 2000lbs bomb on them. i dont think we need to do that, seems slightly overkill"
words from a man who laser guided a 2000lb bomb into a portable toilet
Followers by the laugh of evil.
Hey shit was going down in that toilet.
@@TwistedSheriffoh... you went full potty humor... *never* *ever* go full potty humor
Most patriotic thing since Sam Eagle
You have had noooo problem using "slightly overkill" on plenty of smaller targets in the past. Case in point, the poor guy in the latrine using "slightly overkill" JDAMS 🤔
Will GBU-39 SDB comming too for A-10? And can the A-10 use the JADM-ERs?
I have it on good authority that that dude had it coming.
@@chrisihg2253it's been touched on in the forums and on discord and the consensus is... Well...
It's not really much of a consensus to be honest. Basically gbu-39s and 39ers are pretty classified in terms of performance and pilot operation. Like it would technically be doable for dcs but it would likely be toeing the metaphorical line.
The major (I hesitate to use this word) "consensus" is that if it comes to the F-15E in the future then the warthog has a decent chance of getting them too. But that all depends on what the DOD decides is ok or not.
Fingers crossed but be prepared to get your hopes crushed.
That was my favorite GS drop of all time.
Hey, GS had to sanitize the area to ensure no toxic waste was left behind. 😄
At 2:54, when you hear, "Bomb was on target." That was my squad leader yelling that over the radio in 2006 Ramadi, Iraq, after we dropped an LMAV on a building we called the "Swiss Cheese." There's a good video of it on here.
3rd Bn 8th Marines Kilo Co.
what a small world. I saw that video it's a great clip.
@GrowlingSidewinder that's for sure. You can hear me yell "Fuck Yeah!!!" after it hits 😄
dude thats so cool honestly when little things like this happens it trips me out, to think one of the dudes in that video I saw is here commenting on my video where I used the audio from that clip....so wild.
Per the GAU-8: some wag once said, "if dragons were real, that is the sound dragons would make".
Spooky! 😀
The A-10 to root around the dirt and support ground pounders.
F-16 and F-35 for SEAD.
F-35 and F-18 for electronic warfare and precision air strikes.
Eagles and 22’s top of the stack for air superiority.
All have their place in the stack.
Don't forget the BUFF for when the guy doing the maps messed up and you have to change the topography to make sure you maps stay accurate.
F-35 is FAR superior to Eagle even for air superiority and probably better than F-22 at this point too
@@Aotearas and the bone
Impossibly false lmaoooo. F35 isn't supposed to be a dedicated air superiority fighter, which is why it isn't good at it. It's a multirole aircraft that turned out to be half failure on the side of air superiority, and now it's good at being a stealthy jet for strike missions, electronic warfare, and reconnaissance. That's it @@Asghaad
@@AsghaadCitation DESPERATELY needed.
I always find the cheers of the people at the end so wholesome and funny
Right at the end with the GS logo only on the screen with the sound of the cannon going BRRRRRRRRRRT was awesome.
Made me think that was your logo going brrrrrrrrrt for a second.
glad to see someone noticed it.
@@GrowlingSidewinder ...sound bite for a phone ringtone in the future?
maybe??
For the fans to use?
Maybe?
That missle was pant shattingly close.
It's when you see them streak past your canopy at a distance for which you immediately question why they didn't detonate that gets really wild.
1:22 “slightly overkill”
Meanwhile the guy in an outhouse as a 2000 lb bomb is hurtling towards him:
I didn't even serve (I tried to enlist, but that's a long story for another day), but that outro with the A-10 buzzing friendlies with the cheering audio gets me in the feels every damn time!
The A-10 is probably my favorite plane of all time. That being said, it's days are numbered. Aging airframe, high maintenance costs, slow response time, no stealth, needs air supremacy to function properly. etc etc. Gonna miss the old bird though.
Stealth isn't the main factor that its days being numbered. It's the simple fact that it cannot defend itself against air defense systems and aerial threats. These have to be cleaned up by other jets before this thing is sent to the airspace which makes the AF wonder why they don't use one aircraft for the job instead of two.
No other plane can low loiter and provide that low level cas support. Everything flys too fast. You need a CAS plane in the mix with all these multirole and air superiority jets. Nothing else can take down multiple tanks with ordinance and a gun run in a single run. I’d vote for an update on the model. I think the concept is there though. It’s not made for air to air combat just like other jets aren’t meant to take out tanks with their main gun.
@@b_rob3318Then why not use one of our other options then? Like an AC-130?
They’ve been saying that for two decades. Haha
@@TheSteelArmadillo back then they didn't start retiring the aircraft like they are doing now.
I feel like you can sort of test this out by doing a sort of fulda gap sort of scenario, where you have just an epic ton of defenses, and see how many minutes the A-10 lasts and if the F-16 lasts any longer.
The A-10 will be easily shot down by the air defenses. Its slow speed and the inability to defend incoming missiles means its a sitting duck.
@@traviswalker8933that’s just not factually true, the a-10 can survive plenty of missiles because of its large amounts of flares and chaff. Yes, it’s not fast, but it doesn’t need to be.
@@CarsonMiller-Raven-7 Thats just not the case though? Theres a reason A-10s are never deployed into contested airspace, just having some flares and chaff is not all you need lol, I've spent too much time on aviation forums and really forgot how clueless GS' community is on aircraft.
yes yes YES! A10 action! Thank you!
Loved seeing the A10 in action in Iraq. Can never mistake when she is flying overhead.
Unfortunately the Air Force is getting ready to retire the famous MD National Guard A-10's stationed at Warfield Air National Guard Base in Middle River, MD. I've always loved driving by and seeing them parked on the tarmac. In operation there since 1979 it's one of the oldest operating A-10 units in the nation. Hats off to them.
Still hoping for you to do some more A/G and maybe some intercept missions in the F-15E to show off the amazing capability of the Strike Eagle💪🏼🦅
As mentioned in earlier videos in the comments "Notso", the SME for RAZBAM has a fair amount of good videos out on his personal channel as well as on the RAZBAM official channel for A/G stuff. He also has a really good video with "Casmo" in the Strike Eagle with some really helpful tips regarding TOO, CDIP and general HOTAS tips.
If you include a recreation of the Strike Eagle’s first A-A kill with a GBU-12 that would be nice
@@CapNSo Sickest kill in history, imagine getting BOMBED mid air by a female fighter pilot.
I really love that you started sharing the missions 🙏 great video as always!
As an old leg I can say I do not want to see the A-10 disappear from the battle.
Economies of scale says otherwise.
The A-10 will always be close to us grunts hearts ❣
Hey I was literally in Martin State airport yesterday where these birds are kept in baltimore. Love the Maryland flag on the side! Saw a couple sitting by the runway and an old Hercules too
That last BRRRRT with the credits was top notch
Every time he drop a Jdam, I picture someone dropping whole kosher pickles on little green army men of Toy Story.
Outro was especially on point this vid.
I love the fact you've started/are adding mission links in the description. Great fun
The gun firing at the end of the video outro was perfect.
Thank you for another A-10 fix! Damn, I love that plane!
I remember my time in the Army and seeing these guys roll in, best feeling in the world
Ummm, yeah....the A10 stuff? NEVER gets old!!!
Love those A 10 fly by dude.
Your videos are always so darned informative and entertaining, GS. Thanks again.
Here's how I look at it. The F-16 and it's kind are like X-wings where the A-10 is like a snow speeder. They can't really do each others job well!
Really appreciate you making the mission files available for download. Please keep doing that :)
Redesign and upgrade the platform. It's that simple. It's too good at what it does no other aircraft can do what it does
Easy to say that it's simple for someone sitting behind a computer screen. In the world of UAVs which can be disposed, aircraft like these become less relevant.
The A10 is beyond obsolete
@@wilhelmheinzerling5341 long over due for retirement.
Those vids when you’re sneaking in for a strike , or when you’re escorting a cargo plane are really suspenseful - would love more of those !
Love the brrrtttt at the end. Nice touch 🤙
8:08 props to that Apache man O7
1:21 you say that yet you have dropped a jdam on some poor guy while he was in a porta potty 😂
Thanks for the red arrows and HOTAS commands. while your engaging.
Jo I LOVE the A10 wtf its just the BRRRRRRT that is so nice!
In german i would say GEIL!
It means NASTY haha.
Good vid GS!
Always love the A-10 videos
Love this shit... Keep it up!
Also, I was wondering if you'd do the same CAS mission you did recently with the F-16, but with the A-10. I could see it being a challenge for the Warthog, as you pointed out in that video, but I'd be interested in seeing if it could pull it off.
Great video!
Plane was designed around the GAU-8, GAU-8 was made for anti tank, tank armor improved, it hit an R&D dead end. It was too inefficient as CAS against soft targets and got replaced by Helicopters.
Yes a new A-10 Vid
i would like to see a f35 ground support video as a suggestion because of its multi purpose capabilities. Love ur videos
Being that they just did a major upgrade to the A-10 I highly doubt that it is going anywhere anytime soon.
What upgrade did they just get?
Those upgrades make them cost more than purchasing a new F-35.
There aren't likely battlefields over which they would be used.
Did they put better engines on it?
@@Xenomorphine seen this debunked so many times...
@@jonnybgoode7742let's see it again. I'd be interested in finding out.
"Hold..this..2000 pound JDAM for me my dude" 😂😂
I came back to your channel just for a10 content
YES!!! perfect video to wake up to!!
The A-10 is amazing at the insurgency wars we’ve been fighting for the past 20 years, but future wars are likely to be near pear conflicts, and is just not survivable in that airspace
its MORE survivable than any helicopter ... dol you plan to retire every single Apache too because its "not survivable on the modern battlefield" ?
hint ruskies lost a lot of SU-25s and KA-52s recently, that doesnt mean those things werent a total NIGHTMARE for the oposition when they were around ...
@Asghaad Show me the A-10 that can carry troops I'll wait.
@@ViperPilot16ah yes because Apache, Cobra or KA-52 carry so many of those ...🤣
Sorry but A-10 was second line once Maverick missiles became effectively operational. Though a fan favorite and crowd pleaser for sure.
😂love the cheering from the ground troops on those flybys
I’m a career A-10 pilot…it should stay!! It’s not just doing CAS but having a whole community that understands CAS. Until the US government decides to not send young troopers outside the wire in dumb places we should keep it!
And they say there are no such things as Angels? Tell that to Vets. Look at that load out, lol. Yup, angel's on our backs.
I already preordered a retired a10 and f22. Can’t wait for delivery😳🤣
I don't know if anyone is working on it, but I'd love to see how the A-6E Intruder does in the CAS role in DCS. It performed that very job in Vietnam and Desert Storm. Would really love to see it in upgraded form as the proposed (but never adopted) A-6F model. The avionics and engine upgrades from the Hornet would have made it a ground pounder's best friend. They never came with a gun, but there are a couple gun pods it probably could have mounted. The F-model was also supposed to have been capable of firing the AMRAAM.
We currently dont have any A-6 for this sim but one is currently in development but it wont come out any time soon.
The ending always gives the chills
That was very cool!
That BRRRRRT at the end with BF soundtrack...
Nothing like the spirit of giving. Everyone wins a miata
Favorite aircraft of all time without a doubt
it wont be stopped the guys like it too much brilliant
The reason why the BUFF has always been upgraded as of lately is due to the fact that as time passes, the earths topography gets changed and as the American's maps of the middle east needs to be changed, they don't want to change their maps so instead of changing maps, they change landscapes
And yet it hasn't been used in the Middle East as of late. The last it was used was during the 2003 Iraqi invasion.
I would love to see you do this mission or one similar to it in a modern battle and perform close air support but instead of the A-10, you should fly the P-47 Thunderbolt!
You came heavy today… I love the A-10- That the hand of God -🇺🇸🫡
I'd love to see some classic A-10A videos
@growlingsidewinder Since the A-10 is heading towards retirement you do this same mission with the F-35, F-16 and F-15E since they are slated to take on A/G missions now.
Love the sound of the A10 gun.
Great video. I was wondering if you can share your counter flare/chaf profile if it's different from the default. Thanks!!
this is going to be a good video
a-10 could use a upgrade as a platform but to retire it? could easily make the a-10's mini c-130's if they really wanted too with tech today. Imo having niche platforms like this is always a must no matter how good the BVR
Or F22 raptor vs Area 51 please
that brrrrrrrrrrrrt in the end was OP
i like those sound effects.
I really wish there were more A10 campaigns, ive played tew3 and persian freedom to death, but its so much fun to belt around in, definitely a tank for the skies
2000 pound JDAM on that little Toyota was ridiculous! You may as well drop it on a port-a-potty.
A-10C is easily my favorite content on this channel!
Love the low-level pass at the end...
Looking down the barrel of an A10 looks like an angry Micky mouse
A-10 videos are the best 👌 the brrrrrrrr is awesome.
Can't help it. LOVE the warthog!
ONLY you would gun a main battle tank but drop two grand on a pickup! 😅
The sound of freedom.
The fair point to bring up is its cheaper to do longbows the fixed wing crop duster that is cheaper easier to maintain and does all of the a10 in rl.
if there's any aircraft that will be remembered for it's pure kickasery; it's the A-10
Sucks, as a soldier, to know how vulnerable every piece of equipment is!
Would be nice to make some more acurate missions where you kill more friendlies than enemies (you know like in reality). Just to emulate real situation where actually ground troops asked comanders to remove A10 from battlefield as they made more harm than good.
All 4th and 5th gen fighters in the current US inventory are susceptible to the "Golden BB" while trying to fill the roll of CAS...which will then change to a Sandy mission. The A-10 still has a vital mission to fill on the battlefield for the foreseeable future in my opinion.
The best channel on TH-cam
Successfully delivered some nice juicy freedom and democracy.
I love the A-10C missions.
Cool to hear the friendlies cheer! Question: *What will replace the A-10 Warthog???* 😵💫
GS those are a Toyota Land Cruiser truck. Very strong and durable. But no match for a close GBU 😂
The A10 gun noise put a smile on my face LOL
I think that package exceeded the max load carry weight of that technical
There is no kill like overkill. A-10C videos are always awesome.
Never gets old.
I would love to see the sr71 in dcs and perform stealth missions
No, in a word. Best CAS aircraft designed or currently in existence.
The Warthog : A wheelbarrow full of whoop-ass...
Love this scenario this is more like real life stuff that you will encounter in middle east combat.
