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.

If you have ideas for future videos please comment them below and maybe I can put them in the pipeline for future videos. Thank you for watching and I'll see you in the next one. Much Love.
F15 STOL-MTD vs F22 like you did a few years back, but use differential thrust in the f15 to see if you can stay in the fight longer.
What about streaming ? Also do something Wild Weasley
That was a neat dodge of the Fox-2 at 8:56 from the F-16. Great flying to both of you
I've been following the channel for some time now and very rarely comment on videos, but this one is something more.
Awesome segment about the past and great hints what is going on during the dogfight, definitely easies up the entry level knowledge, the area I remember struggling myself the most with at the beginning. You lifted up the quality to the whole new level, and I sincerely hope it will become a new standard. Stellar job GS, thank you!
Thank you for the comment and feedback brother. I really appreciate it and will continue to do this sort of thing whenever possible in the future.
@@GrowlingSidewinder Yeah I just scrolled down to say this was a next level video - and its already the top comment. Something about how you called out strategies in advance, critiqued his moves etc made it feel like dogfighting school... more so than usual... Nice work.
Glad to see that I'm not the only person who noticed the whole other level of effort that's been put into this video. It was refreshing to see the combination of a lot of different styles and techniques I've seen GS implement in past dogfighting videos, but never have they all been implemented at once into one video! This video definitely had a whole other level of effort put into it and it hasn't gone by unnoticed. Good stuff GS, we'd love to see more videos like this, but we also understand how much more work it takes to make ;)
we need a F14D in DCS
Agreed, unfortunately I don’t think they’ll do it until all of the classified data becomes publicly available.
🙌
@@diegodollarhide6663 why is anything still classified on an airframe that was retired 20 years ago?
@@aaronliddell4280 Because of Iran still flying them. Same reason all airframes not sitting in museums were shredded.
@@ljessecusterl and those in the museums had their wing boxes cut. Pure titanium wing box. The equipment needed to reweld Ti was also destroyed....
Love the intro, you do the documentry style really well. Honestly if I had to explain to someone what a dogfighting was, how complicated it is and how beautiful and aggressive the flying is, this video would be how I did it. An awesome demonstration of everything that makes dogfighting great, Thankyou GS
Thank you very much very grateful for that awesome feedback. Much love man.
@@GrowlingSidewinder can you try getting those F-14 Glove Veins into DCS
Also really appreciate the breakdown of the two combatants at the beginning.
Couldn't agree more! Was a nice change of pace and set the tone for the battle
"I don't need to outrate him, I just need my sidewinder to find him" - Badass quote
Fighting against the Viper really shows how strong the momentary nose-on pull for the -14 can be. It's like it just has that little bit extra to spare so long as you're not already using it and are ready to take the shot.
0:57 this shot of the F-16 flying is so beautiful
Great intro GS. Love the additional info you gave, clear and concise.
That close quarters fight after 9:40 or so with the F-16 was fucking incredible. Managing to keep control despite throwing all kinds of angles in the F-14 can't have been easy. Flying the bloody thing like it was a Flanker, and nearly succeeding!
Logging in to see a GS video posted 15 seconds ago is the best feeling. Love ya Growling, stay sharp up there
Adding a bit of history and context at the beginning was dope, man. Great vid.
Thanks for circling the bandit in red. It makes the video much more interesting when we can actually see the other guy. Appreciate it. 👍
I'd love to watch a video where you explain some of the different types of dog fighting maneuvers and strategies, maybe adding which aircraft typically excel at each one. Great video here with the context on each aircraft before, love it!
10:40 "After you sir"
"No you first"
"No you first"
That was an epic dance
Round 2 is one of the craziest dogfights I've ever seen, flown so close together. Respect !! to both of the pilots
I love how the f-14 rattleslike a bag a spanners lol
This channel is so good! Bringing to life the jet v jet matchups we could only dream about before
“I don’t need to out rate him, just need my sidewinder to find him”
My chuckle for the day.
That 2nd fight, even though the Viper ultimately won, was a textbook of beautiful defensive flying on your part, and beautiful offensive flying on the Viper's part. Stuff like this is why I love your content, GS; there is always a rich opportunity to learn more about BFM, ACM, and all forms of aerial combat. The deadly geometry, the sky dance, is also something I find beautiful in the extreme.
2:21 top 10 rappers Eminem was too afraid to diss
You’ve raised the bar with this one! History intro, red circle to help us follow the dot, great editing of inside than outside view of the same event… and man, round 2, talk about max performing the jets. Both of you just hanging on your thrust… just really great stuff.
When I was in Air Force JROTC (and before I had to get glasses), I *desperately* wanted to be an F-16 pilot. Outdated as the aircraft is, it still holds a special place in my heart.
Love the content, my dude. I fly vicariously through you now.
Round two was a nail bitter, beautiful flying from both of you. Thanks for your frequent posts. That takes a lot hard work and dedication.
Even without the awesome history lesson at the start, the level and quality of the live commentary on this video was next level! Thank you!
Loved the detailed commentary on the first round. I don't play DCS, yet. but I enjoy discovering more about dogfighting and BVR tactics. I've been able to implement them in other games and it has paid off.
That was best intro I have ever seen. The introduction and commentary was really helpful, thank you!
The history lesson at the beginning was incredibly good! I'm glad that you keep bettering your content, keep it up. Thanks!
cant explain how much I love the documentary type part at the beginning, keep up the great work man!
Really really like the combo history + dog fight video here. Haven't been a huge fan of the pure history doc type videos - interesting info but a bit dry. But this is perfect, gives more context to the fight.
Thank you for throwing in Fighting Falcon. As a historian, using the official name once in a while prevents the nickname being mistaken as official in the future.
I really liked the intro. You sure can make the f14 work hard.
Intro - 10/10. Instinct, control, and ability to teach while serving missiles - 15/10. Always a pleasure watching, win/lose/draw.
i swear to god GS always comes through with the content i need when im eating my food, never misses dinner time
Love the addition of the circles. Really helps us mobile users see where your looking
That second fight was fun to watch. Both pilots flew really well and smartly. I loved the end where you 2 damn near stalled both your planes in order to get behind the other to shoot. Awesome flying from both of you
Love the history segment! Definitely would like to see a LOT more of that!
loving the red marker on the bandit GS,i just couldnt keep up with it before this. Thank You!!
Love the F 16, even though my dad flew the F 18, so that's my favorite jet. But the company he flies for recently got dozens of block 60 F 16s, that may be sent to where he works, and he may learn to fly. It'd be interesting to hear about the differences between the different aircraft he's flown in a dogfight.
15 minute videos are not long. They are very welcome. Thank you for this one
A video of the rear stab in straight and level flight is a cool visual of the negative stability. Great stuff!
Thanks, GS, Please make more intro's like this where you are explaining the aircraft and a brief summary about it!
It helps me to learn more in detail about the aircraft
Thanks!
Much love to growling sidewinder, man I love these videos
10:17 Hit the brakes; he'll fly right by.
Read my mind lmao
love the quick bio recaps, binge watching your dogfights and absolutely love them. Thanks!
Short but sweet documentary intro, and straight to action afterwards. Neat.
Ben watching you vids for a while. Good stuff and lots of help. Ran across you intro dogfight sounds in the 1989 f14 vrs Libyan mig encounter and was pumped. Keep up the vids!
Great video GS, looks like you picked up the quality a lot with this one!
I’m frigging love videos like these that go into depth on each of the airframes and talk about it’s conception. More please. lol
Really like the history lessons on these videos- Great work man, really like the videos!
These are some of the most intense fights I've seen in some time. Really enjoyed the video. Keep up the good work!
*I LOVE THIS FORMAT!*
Damn you've upped the quality here, I love this. I wouldn't expect you to do this every video, but dang if it doesn't give me the perfect video to introduce family and friends to the channel! My oldest brother was in the Air Force...
... as an Arabic translator. There were two times back during the Iraq/Iran conflict where he told us "Listen, I love you guys, and not only may you not hear from me again, they won't be able to tell you what happened. I'm heading to Crete."
I the littlest sister loved him terribly, and I wanted to grow up to be a fighter pilot, though at the time girls weren't going to be "allowed" to fly jets. Personally I don't think women should be frontline troops, OR fighter pilots... but in general, a pilot is a bit more acceptable to me? Especially now that we can just Xbox a bird overhead... doesn't get YOU involved though, both the benefit and disappointment.
...am I babbling?
I'm babbling.
GREAT video, going to show this one to my eighty year old parents. This was the era my brother was in, as well, so it adds a lot. We weren't hyper military and stuff, but we did know and appreciate the tech that was going on. The thing we were all most focused on was hoping and praying everyone, EVERYONE from every country, could come home safe to their families.
Great work Sidewinder, I've been binging your channel for a few years now. You are a wonderful and humble super-talented man, a national treasure. Thank you.
This rivalry never ends and I am all in for it.
That was some beautiful ground level flying in round two by both aircraft seeing who could get the slowest, I really enjoy your videos with the occasional history lessons.
Congrats my guy. You’re about to hit 500k subs soon.
Eating up all your f-16 vids, I'm a noobie to DCS with the F-16 and desperately trying to learn. You explain everything so well, thanks for all the help!
Great video! Once again, knocked it out of the park. I also wanna say that I really love the videos where you provide information on each aircraft beforehand. Really educational and helpful.
Absolutely great video! first the explanation, second is the master class about how to fight with the Tomcat! Great!
I'm sure there's going to be someone saying that the red circle is like an NHL broadcast with the blue halo on the puck, but ordinarily I can't see the bandit in these videos (it's why I don't play warplane sims), so I appreciate that. Also the subtitles were great, there's probably a bunch of things that both pilots are doing than a running vocal commentary can communicate.
GS, really appreciated the intro on both fighters. I was around when those films were made. I remember it was the F-16 Falcon and the F-20 Tigershark going at it for the next fighter for the Air Force. Yeager was really pushing for the F-20, but the F-16 was clearly the better airframe. For those who don’t remember, the F-20 was a souped up version of the F-5.
fantastic airmanship man, those planes were just sliding around.
That last AIM9M was from a batch that was carefully hand polished and fettled by the ground crew before takeoff.
The IR seeker window had been lovingly polished with Windex -Military Grade and each of its tail fins and roller bearings were lighly coated in WD40 -mil spec prior to takeoff.
You can see the results for yourself as it proudly chases down that maneuvering Grumman and detonates with pride off its port quarter.
ps.That's a strong YES from me re: the red circle...
wd40 is not a lube that should be used on a bearing of any type in fact it isnt a lube at all its a solvent so putting it on any bearing would cause more harm than good as solvents break down lube it would also probably dry before the missile gets a chance to leave the rail bearings get oil or grease nothing else
@@paktahn Ummm...yeah.
That was meant to be comedy...
Recently watched an old documentary on the F-14... great to see more content on it
Man I’m so glad I found your page. Awesome content and always sharing great history on aircraft. Keep up the great work brother!
I really love those presentations of the aircrafts at the beginning !
More mini docs from the best man on DCS. YES PLEASE !!
Love this style of video - relevant history and aircraft aspects followed with the fight and text explanation of the fight. Excellent!
Okay, this format is ***INTERESTING*** DocuTainment : Describe two birds with some nice docu info and then pitch them against each other.. in the same vid. Brilliant.
That round 2 dance was juicy - the fighters were literally hovering
Didnt know you could Improve the quality of your content more, but you just did. keep going GS, great job man.
I don't normally comment on videos but i do want to say that your intro was amazing. Keep it up
You are such a high quality UA-cam, love your content.
hands down the best video on the channel so far.
Loved the format of this video. Possibly a topic for you to talk about during one of these videos (Maybe even a video dedicated to it...) is how you manage to keep sight of the bandit so well. That is the Nr1 thing I struggle with during any kind of BFM.
nice format! liked the introduction and then the attention circles in the fights.....
Hey Sidewinder, I just wanna say that I really love the channel, at the moment I’m not able to get into DCS as I’ve got stuff to take care of and prioritise, but I’ve been able to enjoy DVA vicariously through your channel!! ❤❤ Thanks for that :) Someday I’ll be able to fly the F-14 in DCS
Oh, that first kill was glorious. "He should have followed me vertical" - yes.
First one from point A to point B dies. Great second dogfight.
The third made me wonder if differential thrust couldn't help the F-14 with it's wide set engines. Throw one of those flat spins at him. But, you killed the F-16.
Great video. Great job.
Your DCS dogfight videos are always awesome! Love this channel!
Perfect edited video with useful dogfight information and some historical knowledge about the two fighters ! Keep it up, really cool ! 😎
"Not a pound for Air to ground' was the marketing jingle... I remember it well, the adfs seemed all over every aviation magazine when I was a kid in the seventies. And you were wallowing through the air like a drunken sailor trying to find his land legs in the moments before F16 took your gravity stabiliser away.
Love the history on the aircraft before the match.
This might be my favorite dogfight that you've done.
These have me on the edge of my seat more than any movie. It's more like FPV where decisions are in real time instead of choreographed scripts. Oh wait; it IS!
love how the Tomcat shudders and squeaks trying to keep up with the nimble Viper, she's big but she can do it with GS at the helm!
Absolutely epic dogfight!
Might i suggest some F5 VS Mirage dogfights? I'm really curious how that would pan out for either of them
Both jets are worthy that intro when F14 soon turning 60 and the Falcon closing in. And they are still one of the best F/A jets of today. Thats amazing.
The raptor is absolutely gorgeous, probably the most beautiful plane ever. But the tomcat is such a classic design. When you first see it, the impression it makes is like no other plane ever.
Perfectly called; you gotta make that missile work for you. A+ fighting as usual.
The flying is beautiful in this video. I really shows how much I can improve especially for the tomcat.
Wow. I had no idea the F14 had such wild instantaneous turn.
I love these informative intros. keep it up
Love these videos with the introduction speaking about the capabilities and specs of the airplanes. Excellent work Sidewinder keep it up brother absolutely love your content !
The intro with the dog fight is really cool I like it
I hope you have a good day everyone
Another great video as always!
This is a fire video love the intro Information part of this we need it more
The intro was brilliant
Love the combo of the mini-doc and the sim dogfight.
Great video as always, and made better by the fantastic play-by-play commentary!
Awesome, I'm an MSFS/XPlane guy, but you're videos have convinced me to get into DCS. Great stuff man, keep it up!
