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

Thank you for watching guys, hope you found the video entertaining. Tomcats Forever.
first attempt : Dassault Rafal against F-14B, fox-2 dogfight ;)
If you love the F-14, you should checkout "Episode 9: F-14D" and maybe "Episode 15: F-15 vs F-14: Exchange Tour" by "Air Combat Experience" It's part of the series "Tomcast" :D
The F-5EM is a brazilin version of the F-5E with python 4 or 5 and the derby missile. Maybe make a video with it and see how it goes?
Grinnelli F-22 Raptor VS Nine North Korean MIG-29's BVR
I think the tomcat number 1 asset is that new pilots will know nothing about it. Which is the most dangerous situation for a pilot, is not knowing the aircraft that you are against.
Nearly died laughing at the Gladiator scene with the dead "F-15's!" 😆
I know very little about aircraft, even less about simulated aircraft, but few things in life bring a smile to my face more quickly than watching you just wring the neck of that poor F-14 for absolutely everything it’s worth. Love it…
I agree- but he was fighting the f-15 IN the f14
@@sabadab0766 My apologies if the idiom doesn’t translate: when I said “wringing the neck” of the F-14, I meant that he was using everything it had to give; pushing the plane he was flying (the F-14) to its absolute limit.
@@LOVEMUFFIN_official i got it on the first pass.
@@alexanderbohm607 me too.
The more of these fights you win with the Tomcat the more believable the end of Top Gun: Maverick becomes.
Now, imagine an F-14 with a fly by wire control system.
I can picture it exactly. It would have leading edge slats, stick with the twin engine formula, aaaaand... replace the tomcat. Oh hey, looks like it's already a thing! It's the F-18!
@@Tiro_Chopper except the f18 excels in the exact opposite type of dogfight and has a much lower speed.
I’d be damned.
@@zacharybaker770
And lower range.
And a little bit of improved aero
Of course the Tomcat still has it! Those planes were made tough, so tough in fact that it could take twice the G loading that the Navy rated it for. The NATOPS G limit for the Tomcat was 7.33G, but according to Grumman test pilots it was a 13G aircraft. Makes you wonder what could have been had the Super Tomcat 21 (Grumman's proposal for a redesigned and improved F-14) actually made it into production instead of the Super Hornet.
That's the case for a lot of planes, it's called an engineering margin. F-16s can pull 12+ and there's one instance of an F-15 pulling somewhere between 15-20 G briefly. The manual numbers are always just what the plane can sustain without needing a maintenance inspection, and the difference between that number and the actual number where the plane comes apart is the engineering margin.
@@smittywjmj Another reason why a lower number is used is to extend the life of the airframe as well as some of the equipment onboard not being able to handle those Gs (like the F-14s inertia navigation system. Also for the airframes how many Gs they can handle is impacted by their weight at the time (closer to max takeoff vs empty weight).
True. It's the kind of thing that you don't want to test unless absolutely necessary, but it's nice to have it.
I think Super Tomcat woulda made F18 unnecessary
ST-21 sounded like an amazing design proposal, would've made the so-called 'Super Hornet' look like a sad joke by comparison.
I wish DCS would release an F-14D version for you to show off for us in GS, you fly the TC with such amazing skill!
Ain't happening for the next few decades at best sadly
Then a hypothetical "best guess" simulated Super Tomcat, at least.
@@joshuagarcia874 why not?
@@francel0198 Because fictional F-14 A/Bs are taking out fictional F-15s ;-)
@@francel0198 because DCS devs are slow
In the new Top gun, If you look very close, the f14 launches an Aim 9x, most likely because they already had one modeled, and didn't want to make another for a .2 second scene
Yeah because the Sukhoi spin wouldn’t have saved him from an X, only rear aspects like the H and older
@@Klaus_Klavier F-14 used the Lima too
@@semiedgv Lima is all aspect. Would’ve seen right through that dumbass little spin from the movie. The missile would have still collided with him if it was all aspect. Only a rear aspect missile would be confused by a flip since it chases the engine only and if the engine isn’t visible it cannot track properly.
@@Klaus_Klavier maybe but maybe it also missed due to a jammed WEZ
@@Klaus_Klavier mans getting mad about a movie inaccuracy
My dad loved the F14 more than any of the 100+ military airplanes he flew & tested.
My dad loves the F-14 more than he does me!
I’ve always said thus, the f-14 is heavily underrated as a versatile plane ever since I bought it 2 to a year ago. The bombing capability with the lantirn, laser guided bombs, A-A Phoenix, aim-120-7, aim-9x (with mods) is just an overall great plane. It quickly replaced my f-18 yet I still fly both but less now since I bought the f-16 and soon f-15 :). Still a great plane
hol up you can drop LGBs in f-14? thought it was primarily air to air. good to know
The f18 did not replace the Tomcat. The Tomcat was just forcibly retired and the f18 was the only thing left.
@@zc240x7 It even ended up being able to drop JDAMs. VF-2 dropped over 100 JDAM’s during OIF.
@@hermang.gerhardt4378 Its an inanimate object, it can't choose to retire.
@@hermang.gerhardt4378 You can thank Dick Cheney. For some reason, he had a hate boner for Grumman going back to the 80's. He did everything in his power to kill the F-14 and insure it's replacement was not made by Grumman.
Which is a shame. There were several proposals to refit the F-14's or build a new version of them. Fly by wire, glass cockpits, a massive AESA radar, the whole shebang. Apparently their kinetic performance would have been nearly unparalleled by any other 4.5 gen fighter. Agility to match nearly anything and plenty of speed with endless legs.
But, sadly, Dick Cheney existed. I can only assume someone paid him well.
Loving all the Tomcat stuff lately, one of my favorite planes, its an absolute classic and the variable sweep wings are just damn cool.
As a young Marine in the Corps, I was among the few who got to work w/ the Tomcat and calling in Close Air Strikes before the F18 took its place. I will NEVER forget the sight and sound of this aircraft on the field... so beautiful and elegant. It brings a smile to watch this (in simulation) take down one of the worlds most premiere air-to-air aircraft. COST IS KING - when it came to the demise of this bird. I hope the F18 lives up to the reputation in years to come.
Lmao love the gladiator "ARE U NOT ENTERTAINED?!?" yesss sir we areee
The Tomcat never ceases to be impressive, especially for such a massive aircraft.
You’re now probably the best instructor of Iranian pilots. 😀
I know it was a maintenance pig, and expensive. But damn if the tomcat would have evolved into the advanced tomcat proposals with Aim-120/9x and jhmcs I think it would still be a beast and the updated designs would have helped with the maintenance issues the A-D had in service.
@@davidsmith8997 the proposed super tomcat had a bunch of maintenance quality of life changes that decreased the hours required pretty well but at the end of the day it still was much more expensive than super hornet
Imagine a Tomcat with HMD, 9x, and thrust vectoring.
I imagine the wings tearing out of their mounts!
BRUH lol
@@fix0the0spade ...the center mass of the wing and fuselage structure is a large chunk of titanium. it was needed to hold it all together with the swing wing. So while i see your point...the Tomcat could handle a lot more than one might think.
So it would be interesting either way.
It would be spectacular in performance...
Or...
it would be spectacular in crashing :))
Likely something close to what the Super Tomcat 21 would've ended up being if had happened.
A super tomcat
One of these days you will be so good in the F14 that other pilots will be saying...
Oh look....."There is an F14 doing F14 things"
Differential thrust got me a raise at work!
Ummmm...there is a lot that could be said about that comment.
And since this is a family friendly channel...I will not speculate on what you meant.
But just to be clear...is it differential thrust or alternating thrust that got you the raise?
Peace
@@heathb4319 Thanks for your contribution to this extensive discussion on the ins and outs of the F-14(!!!) differential thrust. I will not stand for speak of alternating thrust.
@@OCinneide ...Hahahahaha...
A good boss loves creative employees that keep the...ummm....morale up. It makes for a better work environment.
Quality over quantity.
Peace
F-14 Tomcat. It will have a place in my heart, forever.
GS you are the real maverick of the tomcat in DCS
Still one of the best lookin jets designed by any nation.
I think you meant to say sexiest plane ever made
F-14 vid = instant watch. I'm a simple man.
Round 3 was intense! Nothing like a dogfight 50ft off the ground XD. And was that a salty double-rocket at 8:30?
I hope you inspire the Navy one day to reinstate the Tomcat back into service and modernize them, even if it means lighting up old furnaces to produce them.
You two were so close together a couple of times I thought you was getting a new backseater
The little screams added to the hit are hilarious!!!
The F-14 has long been my favorite combat aircraft - I spent over a thousand hours in it in Aero Elite (PS2) as a kid and young adult. It warms my heart to see it holding its own with modern equipment in these "what if?" situations. Keep up the awesome work!
I love these "what if" scenarios! And I always love anything with the Tomcat.
Love me some GS and love the revival of the F-14 content!
In theory, since the 9X uses the same rail and electrical connections, any platform that can launch a legacy 'winder should be able to use a 9X, albeit without the advanced features like high off boresight etc.
9X has a different seeker cooler though doesn't it?
@@jameshodgson3656 Yeah, it's internal. Doesn't need a supply line from on-plane nitrogen or argon.
Tomcat pilot "Puck" Howe said in an interview this year that they did, in fact, fly 9X on F-14 at the end (without HMD/HOBS). As usual, take decades-old memories with a grain of salt, but it may have happened.
Don't like you picking on my Eagles, GS. But gotta give it up for the Tomcat. Well done! 👏
Tomcat does her best work when she’s right on the edge of falling apart
Yo GS, another awesome display. Love seeing you bring the Cat's claws up to modern standards. Watching her hold her own with such an old airframe shows both the engineers/designers were ahead of their time and that you can wring out the performance out of it. Thanks for the content. Have a pleasant day. Cheers.
God, I love so much the scream effect just before impacts....!! :D :D :D
If you're doing more modern weapons mods, here's a suggestion: an F-5 modded for AIM-9X and AIM-120s, similar to Singapore's last F-5S fighters with AIM-120s and the Rafael Python.
Growing up the F-15 and F-14 were by far my top favorite planes. I couldn't choose between them for my absolute fave so I just gave both of them the spot. Love these videos!
One of your greatest videos ever. Had me yelling and smiling the whole time.
60 seconds is the earliest I've ever been to a GS video.
Had been hoping you'd try the 9x after the AIM120 vid. Absolutely loving the 'what if' videos. *GS uploads Tomcat video* - instant watch! Amazing aircraft control and commentary as always my man!
I just LOVE it when you do Tomcat videos. But I am still interested in seeing a Murder Hornet do differential thrust stuff.
Not much performance can be gained using differential thrust as the hornet engine placement is so close together that there is very little torque to take advantage of in executing maneuvers.
@@strykerk992 Hey Eagles engines are close too. and it worked in DCS for the Eagle. Why not the Hornet.
@@Matterian the airframe on the eagle is bigger and creates more drag
There's just something about that buzzing sound that the F-14s and F-15s make when locking on with a Sidewinder
I don't know if I've ever heard more joy in GS's voice than in a tomcat with 9X's 🫡😭
I just can’t help visualising this suddenly transforms into a Macross vs Starscream fight. Oh, the 80’s…
Dude, I watched it twice and played it thru a massive sound bar… awesome!
I am so fortunate to be as old as I am. Got to see the Jolly Roger squadron fly at Oceania .
Thanks for the memories GS
F14: So easy its like clubbing baby eagles !
Baby Seals: Its about time we got a break...
Dude seems like once you got down the differential thrust and wing sweeps the cat turned into a completely new beast! I love how your passion allows you to implement new techniques and you use suggestions to completely upgrade your style
I love the subtle little screams 😂 it’s amazing.
that Gladiator scene made this video! 😂 Anddd...the F-14 Tommy is a beast with those 9x's!!! Besides the F-22 being a favorite Jet of mine ( because of those curves...those curves man....💙💜❤ ) The F-14 is still my favorite, and always will be...the fact of its age, and it still is standing up to a lot of modern Jets and its speed is still significant,its such an absolute beast! Yeah it is somewhat a tank compared to others in its F class...but so what? The Tomcat is a special one,and such a beautiful specimen of pure beauty! Great flying and fights as always GS ! 💜💜
2 Of My Main Favorites Goin at It 😮💨 Good Video 😎
Damn. That was _not_ how I expected this video to go. Nice flying!
This is the most aggressive I’ve seen you with the Tomcat, GS. Absolute masterclass
I love the fox-2 dogfights, it's always so cool to see the jest fight so close together in the one circle.
Yes! Thank you. Just asked for this rematch Friday and, bam, here it is :)
Thank you for the Tomcat content GS!
Splash after splash great job with the f14 man
You are the Tomcat master GS and I really like the sound F/X you're using when a bandit gets blown up... hilarious!
Love the tomcat.
I love how of all the technical accomplishments made in top gun maverick and how stellar the cinematography and story is, the most relevant to us is a 5 second scene of maverick splitting the throttle and creating an f-14 renaissance in DCS
Beautiful flying.
F-14..! A true dogfighter and a true legend indeed! 😁 so amazing to watch..
Gs, you are definitely a Cat lover!
Great vid - lots of fun. Thanks!
Love the big fighter! How can ya not love the tomcat?!
I have no experience with aircraft, or combat, and I certainly never knew enough to be a fan of any jets. That said watching stuff like this is threatening to make a tomcat fan of me yet lol. Great stuff, love the content
Good because the tomcat is the best plane ever
In my opinion
That is some awesome engine management!
This fight was incredible. This would make for an amazing series too
I need more of this in my life
I'm really enjoying the death scream you recently started putting into your kills. 😂
You know, something that always hits me about DCS is the sound modeling. Especially the Tomcat seems to be fairly well perfect. Brings back fond memories from my childhood of sitting on the beach and listening to them rumble in and out of NAS Oceana.
When that Battlefield Theme kicks in! :D
Remember, it’s not the plane; It’s the pilot!
The Tomcat definitely has its work cut out for it when it comes to the Eagle. Great video.
Love the videos, keep it up!
Snort used to beat F-15s all the time, but he cheated good by his own admission, he’d crush them in the one circle like you did the first fight but he could do it reliably
@Klaus Klavier if you ain't cheating you aren't trying hard enough. Not to mention if you are in a fair fight your tactics suck.
RIP Snort. A real American hero!
LOL so he said.
"HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE THIS THING?"❤️
I don't know what it is but I love watching your videos. Please make more of the longer vids 🙏
Instead of using full flaps, can you use DLS flaps so that you can retract them if you need to go fast? Great video.
Hell yeah, she’s got it!
“She may not look like much, but she’s got it where it counts.”
Love ❤️ the meme!!!
Yes WE ARE ENTERTAINED.
The f-14 is my favorite rotary wing aircraft by far
Wow, the F-14 still has some serious moves!
Bombcat carried everything, even carried Chuck Norris.
Love the vids man
I like the Horned Owl vision capabilities of the Track IR.
Just when you think the F-14 is at the edge of her capability, Tom Cruise comes around with a movie to show you what she can actually do, and yet still GS takes that even further! Excellent vids!
The Tomcat was shaking so much that I thought it would fly apart. It did a splendid job though. What a great machine.
I love the that livery on the tomcat it looks like a Jordan color scheme
I like the gladiator reference with the dead F15s laying around.
The little screams have been a funny addition lately lol
love this fight!
Highway to the Danger Zone... Ride into the Danger Zone... (in my head, every F14 Tomcat video...)
01:20 I really like all the funny little details like that
That wing design is quite unique. Reminds me of an Albatross.
man, those modern peer battles are really frenetic
That first kill was simply OUTRAGEOUS, what in the Maverick did I just witness!?
The Tomcat will always be the coolest fighter.
loved the Gladiator clip lol
That was great 👍🏻
You have one new suscriber here
You're killing me GS. Such a ballin' fighter was retired *well* before her time. If we invested in the 14 what we invested in the hornet, we wouldn't be needing a hornet.
"Hold this my dude" 😂😂 never gets old.
