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 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.

Little more "Bandit Unknown" Action for you guys since many of you have voiced that you enjoyed the series, Big thank you to Shark for flying as our bandit today and thank you all for watching, much love.
F22 vs j20 BVR
*Bogey
Bandit unknown series is awesome. I love how its still an "staged fight" (guns only), but with the added challenge of ID'ing the plane and adapting to its capabilities. It shows off your skill AND knowledge and that makes it incredibly enjoyable. Thank you.
@growling sidewinder....can you do an episode describing the different gun sites on your most used jets and how they work?
Please make a bandit unknown episode with jf17 block 3
“He looks like he’s rating with you. It’s an illusion.” A mirage, you could say
damn it hahaha
LMAOO BOOOOOOOOOOOO
That was perfect ...lol
nice
are you a shakespear of the skies?
I want to see the other aircraft be a Sopwith Camel just once. The lol's would be epic.
10 minutes in: Where the f is he??
"He's turning inside my circle"
A wood-and-fabric kite, with very little rear-aspect heat signature. Swap out the guns for a countermeasures dispenser, and hang a couple Stingers on the wing struts, and you might have a pretty slippery opponent.
Numbers could make it a problem too, if the processor can keep up. "Alone and Unafraid: 80 million dollar jet fighter VS. 80 million dollars worth of Camels; Can you smoke the whole pack?";-D
@@bengerendash he was indeed turning in his circle
"Very few things that make me want to go two circle.... and there's a mirage" I could hear the resignation in your tone as you were now forced to two circle exactly the opposite of what you intended. lol
1:41
I guess you could say it's a "Mirage"
Friend or foe, I am always happy to see an F-14!
Dude! I love "bandit unknown!" Do you think think you could do something like a gun-game where both you and the bandit start with the same plane? A kill gives a better plane. Obviously, you'll hash out the progression and details with the person you fly against. But I think it would be cool content.
When he said “that’s my wing” my reply was you aren’t in an f 15!😂
The Tomcat was extremely lucky to have survived those gun shots multiple times.
Will someone please tag the military? I want to see how well Sidewinder does in an official simulator. We are seeing some serious skills here.
excellent idea! love to see the hornet's versatility
the fight with the f-14 was incredible to watch. like something srtaight out of a movie.
That thing you did against the flanker. I have no idea what it's called and i am a very novice dogfighter but I love doing that in my hornet. So many people just drag themselves into it and so long as i have sufficient altitude you win that fight. In my first ever knife fight with a real person it was against a -16 who has thousands of hours in the -16's cockpit. yet i still damn near won, had them shitting themself in the discord call lol
Really like these Bandit unknown fights... makes it interesting on how you are going to work the bandit...
There is a reason I call the Hornet "the Easy Button"
You missed showing your ejection... straight into the water!
Bandit unknown...and next minute you see this massive triangle out in front and realise it's the Executor and Darth Vader is onboard to take care of you, personally :P
I appreciate how you explain different terms you use during the fights (albeit I don’t understand how anyone thought you were calling a rate fight a rape fight). I’m curious how the nose to tail became known as two circle since it seems like that would be more accurate to call a one circle since you are both moving in the same circle same direction. This isn’t me doubting your use, I’m just curious what the origins of these designations are.
Awesome to see you fighting in a CF-18🇨🇦👍🏻
Would love to see some BVRs with these Bandit Unknowns or a knife fight with missles. Maybe see the F16 next? Love the vids GS keep up the good work.
Lmao a perfect 409 jet, grease streaks everywhere 🤣
Great plane choices on the OpFor.
Do some unknown BVR engagements. With and without AWACS. Where everyone is an unknown BOGEY.
The fog of war is real. I think friendly fire is now deadlier to allied troops than the enemy.
It's possible to declare a bandit with a negative mode 4 and positive NCYR.
@@mobius7089 The fog of war is real. I think friendly fire is now deadlier to allied troops than the enemy.
@@mobius7089 I'd like to see another Persian Gulf war scenario of a lost and damaged F-16 surrounded by a mix of American and Iranian F-14's.
The Hornet is such a pretty plane..
I really like the bandit unknown vids.
The true Skies Unknown.
Really loving the bandit unknown series!
Love the Canadian Hornet livery ;-)
That tomcat should have been dead in the second or third turn ;). Had him in the gunsights, just couldn’t get enough control to hit him
Shark in the Mirage should have Fox-2'd you. Felt like the F-18 extended away to keep nose up altitude. Just my observations from the phone screen. V/R, -armchair qb
I think you should do this series without using zoom, cause it would look cool
@Growling Sidewinder, Loved it. Can you plan to make Bandit Unknown with SU 30 MKI
Is there a beginners guide series or tutorials?
Request. PRC SU-30MKK VS PAF FA-50
You dont want to reverse a turn on F-18. They have such a good radar gunsight. Then fails to hit an F-14 twice and crashed and burned!!!!
lol ya but thats my fault not the gun sight
All of these Bandit Unknown videos are gold.
this new "series" is pure art
Amazing! I would like you to make a reproduction of a campaign that actually happened. would it be possible?
How much do the flight characteristics of a hornet vs super hornet differ in a dogfight ?
show us your setup + are you using track IR or VR system?
But did you kill him politely? After all you are flying a Canadian ornet.
I saw some VFA-25 hornets the other day
Nice shooting there GS...that's more like it!
Q: What's your tactical advice as in 1-2 circle with you flying an F-35 V a Chinese J10?
I need some help here, mate :/
Do you respawn for every round? The 6 Fox2s seem abit overkill 😅
Could u do an f15 version?
3:36 is there a reason why we couldn't see your rounds travelling through the air before impact?
they didnt have tracers?
@@KekusMagnus I didn't know you could change the ammunition type.
So when the Tomcat starts pulling you down into the rate fight on the ground why not extend away, get some separation and then recommit aggressively for a one-circle fight?
Bandits who extend catch fox2s in the ass, same as real life.
@@GrowlingSidewinder Right guessed that was the rules - but better to turn / extend for a few seconds early in the rate fight then turn back in than wait for the inevitable staying in the rate fight?
@@GrowlingSidewinder ok just seen you offsetting the 2 circle with a Mirage 2000C against the Tomcat to kill it rather than trailing around in a losing rate fight. It seems to me this is similar to what I was suggesting - extending and then aggressively turning back in gives you turning room and offsets the circles.
Even I knew that was a mig29 seeing that smoke
did you survive the water landing?
Why 6 AIM-9's in a primarily guns fight?
Also, could we get bandit unknown fox 2 fights? Thanks!
to weigh me down and make it harder.
@@GrowlingSidewinder hardcore dude
Isn't an "unknown bandit" ......a BOGEY?
lol a nice attempt to play on words, a BOGEY means you don't know if its friend or foe, in this case we know its a bandit, just don't know what it is.
I find it odd that you fly with your ANTI-SMASH lights on.
🤘🏽
why are you carrying 6 aim-9Xs? isn't 2 enough
They’re not 9x
Hi gs
hey man
Apologies if I sound salty but the pilot who flew against you did so well with the F-14 Tomcat that I just wish that he put up a better fight with the Russians. No hate tho, and definitely no doubt that GS isn't a slouch on the hornet either. Great fight overall. Again, sorry but I kinda have a soft spot for the Russians, as much as I appreciate all the fighters.
Pls, I tried to put it as politely as I could. The last thing I want is a bad rep in one of my favourite youtube channels.
lol no problem man, nothing wrong with what you're saying, he did a great job in the tomcat but ya most people aren't experts/good/experienced in all aircraft thats a hard thing to find in this community.
It looks like hes rating with you but its a ✨mirage✨
I fly for an airline and I have to say that your channel is my go to on my overnights. Keep ‘em coming!
means a lot to me to hear that man thank you
Haha same here. Or while sitting some airport appreciation.
Do u have any tips I’m going for airline too
im now imaginine an airliner boeing 737 in a rate fight with an airbus a320 🤣
@@fruitygranulizer540 He is falling around that circle, so I am going vertical. Differential thrust. And.... Fox 2. Splash.
YAY. More of the Bandit unknown stuff!!! Don’t stop! Maybe try to do some Bandit unknown video in a Flanker?
Na an f22 would be better
@@crosshairs19 hes too good with it
Its quite remarkable how good the F-14 is, being how old the design is. They just made it that good.
Aerodynamics are aerodynamics, We still knew a damn lot about how to make a good airframe back then.
a reminder that at the time F-15 was being introduced, with all of its much newer cutting edge electronics and newer engines, the F-14 was still considerably more expensive...
@@AKAtheA the variable sweeping mechanism must be pretty expensive.
Tom Cruise sitting there.
Heat Blur made it that good in DCS. I'd argue that the DCS F-14 flight model is still over performing big time
Would you be able to post a dogfight like this with your inputs overlaid on screen? Particularly throttle inputs. Personally as a beginner, the throttle is the control that I have least of a clue of how to use during a dogfight. I can sense more or less how much stick input is right in certain situations but I have a hard time knowing when to use full burner, mil power, complete idle or anywhere in between, during a dogfight. I haven't really found any resources that explain throttle management in engagements.
I love the paint scheme on the CF-188. It's called Poor AF. We show up to a fight looking all homeless and rusty, then blow the enemy out of the sky.
I downloaded heavily weathered RCAF skins for the Eagle and Mirage too. They look so rough and gnarly, lol
It is all that Canadian road salt...
"So uh today I'm in a hornet. Definitely gonna be fighting in the one circle. For sure. No doubt about it. There's nothing I wouldn't want to fight one circle...Oh look it's a mirage. Two circle it is." Lmao
Love the livery on the F-18 or I guess CF-18 in this case. Keep up the great videos, greetings from Canada!!
LOVE that you take Canadian Liveries out. Not many DCS channels do so thank you for doing that. One of the many reasons I love your channel!
I love me a good old cf-18 brother
Yes! CF- 18 rocks 💪
It’s kinda scary how good the f-14 is in the rate right, you don’t notice it as much when you’re in the f-14 but when fighting it it’s like one second you’re on his six and the next second he’s pulling lead
The Tomcat fight was awesome, but that move on the flanker was fucking gorgeous!! Wish I could have seen the tacview on that puppy!!
Great fights yo! Gotta say I am loving this Bandit Unknown stuff. Great for the excitement factor, also great for tactical analysis & learning how you have to use different energy management strategies with each new bandit that appears. This kind of fight teaches improvisational skills in a major way. Keep em coming, GS. 🤟💥
💯/💯
When I was in the Navy years ago when the Hornet was new, I was chatting with an aviator about flying it, The thing I remember the most was when he said " When you fire a long burst with the gun, it looks like a grey bar in front of the aircraft" Due to pilot seating and gun position I think.
I remember seeing the Blue Angels perform during Seafair as a kid. They were amazing to watch. They show what a F-18 can do when controlled by a highly trained pilot. My favorite fighter is still the F-14 though. Always had great respect for Navy pilots. Taking off or Landing on a airstrip is one thing but doing that on a carrier with all the possible hazards they face is on another level.
Ive watched an F22 hover and then turn its nose to the target like it parked itself in the airspace. I was training with the national guard and doing our gunnery.
If a giant space ship showed up in earth's atmosphere and began to disperses fighters; GS would:
One circle or
Two circle
But best believe he would rate fight the "bleep" out of them and game over Thanos!
Even though WT and DCS don't exactly translate, your videos have helped me tremendously in my late war prop/jet combat lately! Thanks!
You must respect the Hornet's low speed nose authoritah!
-Eric Cartman
I'd love to see some Bandit unknown/bogey BVR content some time! Especially in the 14.
Perfect video: Hornet and Bandit unknown. NICE! 👍
@ 7:55
Those are the moments when you have to just "DO SOME OF THAT PILOT SHIT."
- GOOSE
How about a Bandit Unknown in an F22 vs. a trio of unknowns. Or something to that effect...
I don't very much about fighter jets, but your dogfights are awesome. Please keep us entertaining, I will definitely subscribe your channel
Loving the "Bandit Unknown" format!
Seems the oppo had a nasty habit of reversing in front of you and didn't take into account the Plastic Bug's Low speed/High AoA capabilities... Great video as always!
Hornet is certainly the best dogfihter besides the F-15 but Russians do have better close range fighter planes...US of A advantage is BVR especially with F-22 raptor which is the best fighter in the world! Greetings from Serbia and our MiG-29SD squadron ;)
US planes have adventage of BVR
@@ghoroob19 Yes,for now...
Fantastic fight! Could you consider doing a guide/video on how to force a 1-circle fight against a rate fighter?
A lot of the time, it seems to me like if the radius fighter doesn't get a kill in the first 30 seconds, they end up low, slowx and out of options. How do you keep that from happening?
Once you are low and slow, options are limited. My go to is losing the rate fight, tightening down the circle and neutralising into a one circle, basically what GS did against the Tomcat.
My favorite intro. What's up my dudes. Haha. Keep up the good work man.
Again you prove Col John Boyd's statement, people make the difference. Excellent flying. I am very much in the boom and zoom, extending out and keeping the energy.
Please do a what-if scenario where Maverick from 1986 vs Maverick 2022 Tomcat vs. Hornet
Usually pilots flights with more than one in real life.
Can you arrange something like that as well.
I will like to see cumulative results on on your part?
Thank you 🙏
DCS made me a Hornet guy. I never thought much of the plane, others took the poster spaces on the wall etc. I admit that i was a bit ignorant towards it, no doubt. But DCS brought me around. What an incredible, versatile and dangerous multitool this airplane is. I admire everyone who got to experience it in real life and I tremendously enjoy being able to fly it in DCS.
Not gonna go 2 circle
Sees mirage
Okay I’m gonna 2 circle
The Canadian CF-18 Hornet is still only an upgraded F-18A. It's not the Boeing F-18E/F Hornet. Good job with that airplane.
You seem very knowledgable on BFM/ACM - do you teach or Fallon or something ???
I never realized the Hornet was that good. Rate fight with a Tomcat doesn’t seem like a good idea.
At slow speeds the Hornet is the best you can have. F-14 and F-15 pilots were shocked when confronted the F-18 the first time. I think that legacy Hornets outperforms the Super Hornets in dogfight. Regarding the Tomcat, funny thing is that in reality is better in the one circle than in the two circle. This shows that models aren't so accurate.
You were getting your "Buzz" Beurling guns back by the end of these matches.
Loving the false cockpit on the under belly of the hornet
Bandit unknown sounds like a Tom Clancy novel it fits so well I love it
Lol did you notice you were carrying 6 missiles on the first flight?
As I’ve said in the past the Bob Ross of flight simulators
I think GS titles should be "in this episode GS kills...."
Great Vid! Do you mind doing an F-15C vs F/A-18C fight?
GOD, I love your calculated engagements in DCS. Now at War Thunder even in simulation, I have six other aircraft flying up my ass.
Bro, it's not ilusion - it's mirage... sry, had to :D
Can we see a Super Hornet go up against a Legacy Hornet?
