Thank you for re-doing this dogfight, I'm glad you read the requests in the comment section. I was hoping the Gripen would have won, if you had piloted it I'm sure it would have :) BTW this is the second video you made from my suggestions, or just two coincidences. The other was the Mig-21 VS. A-4 that I had requested. Thx again.
I agree that skill does play a huge part but also taking into consideration how well he can use different jets. Might be better with one jet than the other.
Impatience in the rate fight cost him twice. As you've shown many times, when you're winning in the rate fight just hold off, don't cash everything in right away.
There's a saying in photography: It's not about the camera; it's about the person behind it. Well... It's not about the aircraft; it's about the person flying it! Nice job as always, GS.
well, actually it is a lot more about the aircraft than you think, just like the camera on the phones these days, with several lenses and automatic post processing. Pilots don't fly the planes anymore, pilots just tell the plane their intentions.
Sometimes people think pulling the whole way back on the stick is the best decision.. they never learn, when they stall out in front of my guns! (Full disclosure : I fly the Dora 9)
One thing missing from these extended duels is the ability of the pilot to sustain high-g maneuvers over time. If you're turning and burning for 20 or 30 seconds, what do you have left physically at the end? Flight sims can replicate grey-out and blackout but not the endurance factor of a human body in a fight such as these.
@@ser43_OLDC Any real world fighter usage is usually a tradeoff between how much ass can it kick once in the sky and how hard it is to get it to the sky to do the ass-kicking.
Interesting result, skill and patience wins about every time. I'm sure I am not the only one who would like to see the Gripen and the Rafale have a bit of a throw down.
@Growling Sidewinder Would love to see you do matches where you swap planes after. It would show that it's not just the simulated aircraft but also the pilot that makes the difference.
@@hel1nas They just did. 3-5 days ago. And I didn’t say they weren’t using Mirages (6 months ago). I clarified which variant. I’m saying they were using the 2000-5 and the 2000 EGM/BGM vars.
@@ATGG I was referring to 2000EG (Hellenic Variant of C )which are quite similar to 2000C. The 2000-5 will not removed from service. It was part of the agreement for 2000s to be given to FR but not six months ago.
Good flying. Two nice planes. The Mirage is like a somewhat younger manifestation of the Swedish Draken, though not related. And the Gripen a development of the Viggen.
@@myusername3689 yeah but it's still a bit worse than the Mirage in the 1 circle. That's probably one of the thing TVC helps with the most on the modern Flankers.
Nice situational awareness! The Gripen pilot made several unnecessary turn reversals right into your pipper. Sometimes it seemed he just aborted rate fights he was winning.
That first kill was absolutely beautiful. I actually yelled out when you landed that shot. May have to try out the Mirage next Also we really need to see some bf109 play in these clouds
@GrowlingSidewinder Dude another great vid and great manoeuvres! Little tip: against smaller size jets like the Gripen, when you are in one circle gunfight with a similar delta platform like Mirage 2K, perhaps a little bit of altitude relative to the bandit will give you much better attitude during deck transition, so much so that you’ll invariably gain a firing solution right at the cusp or onset of the transition thanks to the fantastic AoA that the Mirage can pull. But I am sure you already know that. BTW, how can I order your Hoodies from India bro??
Hey, how often does fuel become a problem in DCS? As in, the fuel you took, wasn't enough.. and are there ways to deal with this other than using afterburner less, trying to conserve fuel? Like options for Ariel refueling etc.. in DCS
got the Mirage today and as a newb this thing whips around so easily and I love it... but the gun reticle is so counterintuitive I have no Idea how to aim the thing correctly
This was a great match up - but same skill in both jets - the Gripen is taking it. BVR no question, Gripen is going to jam the Mirage and eat him alive.
@@lat78610 That's if the Mirage's radar can see through the Gripen's E/W. The little that I know about it would lead me to believe that it would remove the Fox 3 option and put the Mirage into a tough spot. Would like to see two equally competent pilots joust with their respective jets. You could put GS in either and it would be hard to match against him.
Question: What had the better thrust:weight? Few times there I would have turned and burned for energy, assuming equal or greater thrust. Those canards gonna eat you in thick air.
I wonder if the result would be the same if the pilot of the gripen was as good as you... i swear i saw a couple of moments where you would've died if the JAS driver was more patient

Nice vid as always
i'm waiting for the viggen vs slow plane so you can explain energy management....
Need to see the harrier back in action against a mirage
can you do a ka 50 vs hind vid?

@@violinbird77 *less
I haven’t watched the video yet but I already know it is worth my time, thanks man!
Change roles, you in the Gripen E vs someone else in the Mirage. It boils down to skill, which you have a lot of.
This is something I've thought of myself - every time they do those fights, they should switch it up at some point.
I agree that skill does play a huge part but also taking into consideration how well he can use different jets. Might be better with one jet than the other.
i believe its not the Gripen E, its the Gripen C.
Ah well, C, E, they should still swop planes.

It seems like this comes down to the skill of the pilot. Sidewinder is just better than that other person.
@@angela1984a SW is better than most people let's be honest. Timing is a skill in itself.
if you were in a server for example, taking your time might not be the best idea

as a photographer myself i find this phrase awesome, and in your quote it was brilliant.
Talking shit about The 2000?

@@ylstorage7085well in dogfight with no missles involved is still very much about the pilot
About how he uses the tools at his disposal
Is it only my or does it feel like you have more energy and are more confident. Cause' if so, good job.

Speed is energy; Energy is life.
@@Reaper_03-01 altitude is energy two so you can trade speed for altitude sometimes.
Another victory for Greece in our war with Sweden, it's a good thing we committed to the crate fight.
Ah yes the infamous Greeco-Swedish rivalry…
Yep, sweden hates southern countries and they want to destroy them.

Thanks for accepting the request GS!
My pleasure buddy, thanks for the suggestion

Because that would be a real rape fight ! The rafale is overpowered .

We will resolve our issues with guns only
Dude has a brutal laugh when he smokes those poor bastards 🤣 Great vid! Thx!!!
I've been waiting for this one!
6:05 that was THEE most beautiful transition i have ever seen
Just shows that the Mirage still has sharp teeth even after all these years...
There is something in taking a proven design over constantly trying to reinvent the wheel. A steady development has its perks.
hold up. Mirage dogfight and no Atè, that’s just not right. Still a great video though. Keep up the good work GS.
i think that in that case the plane wasn't the thing in the fight, the pilot experience was what decided the fight.
Damn son, that first kill was knarly lmao.
French Queen Mirage. Always legendary.
I miss the kill cams. Noticed that you are not doing them anymore.
But still, great vid and awesome battle :D
tracks keep getting corrupted man, so I can't go back and get the slow motion kills
Bro thx for making these vids like whenever I'm bored I think about jets just keep it up
Thanks for coming to watch them buddy
You're welcome
01:03 the way he looked in mirror was SCAREY ..xd
Well done - thought you were going to fly into the powerlines at the end :-)!
It proves, old is gold and technology is not everything. What we need is a good man behind the machine.
Great video as always, keep up the good work!
damn I was really counting on a tac view to see what the hell that Gripen did when you went like "good job on that Gripen"
"It's not a rape fight, although it does feel like that sometimes" 😂😂😂
@Growling Sidewinder
Would love to see you do matches where you swap planes after. It would show that it's not just the simulated aircraft but also the pilot that makes the difference.
I would love to see the Swedes truly adopt a splinter camouflage pattern for the 39 like on the Viggen
Yess! more delta wings, finaly X) X)
You should do one with the Raphale vs Gripen sometime.
This video you had to say RATE so enunciated every time. JUST to make sure
Shows how it's not the better plane but the better pilot that matters at the end
Holly molly I haven't realized how good the gripen is turning
For the record, the H.A.F. is not using 2000's. According to their website, they use the 2000-5 and 2000 EGM/BGM Versions. But still, great Aircraft.
HAF still uses Mirage but soon it will not since they are going to be replaced with Rafales

Probably worse

Request.
SU27 vs Mirage, I wonder who out AOAs who?

Not “RAPE” fight although it sometimes feels that way. Lmao
The great rematch, after literally years
summary of video: DOWN TO THE DECK BOIS
The Mirage, Rafale, Eurofighter, and Gripen look like the same plane more or less. All Delta wings.
Hmmm sounded like you were saying " rake" fight to me. LOL
Great piece of hardware GS!
Amazing videos ✌🏻
First round that reversal was elite
That kill on the 1st round is so satisfying holy shit
That first kill was absolutely beautiful. I actually yelled out when you landed that shot. May have to try out the Mirage next
Also we really need to see some bf109 play in these clouds
Hi,
I would love to see jf 17 thunder vs f16 viper do dogfighting
or F15 eagle vs MIG 29
I hope you can do it
Omg, that high pitched beeping gave me a headache 30s in.

It is a "RAPE" Fight if you are going against a Raptor though........
A rapetor u mean
Yes in that case it’s called a rape fight
😂
@@GrowlingSidewinder lmao
might as well just eject
I'm here for the rake fight :)
You always say its a R A T E fight and for the longest time I had no idea that it was short for "turn-rate fight"
There is physics and ingenious fighter designs and the there is the skills of GS disrespecting all odds ;-)
I would like to see you at the Gripen controls.
Hey GS any chance of a classic war bird match up, P51 vs Spitfire? Could really use some tips to help me best my wingman/Rio.
an Aermacchi mb 339 vs Mirage 2000 may be an interesting video; good old France vs Italy fight
Oh you thought you were winning? That was just a Mirage.
Do Russian vs European fighters. I guess Typhoon, Ralafe, Gripen is for mainly against Sukhoi and Migs.
There is no Eurofighter for DCS yet though :(
@@JazzJaRa Hope it'll come soon then :)
Hey, how often does fuel become a problem in DCS? As in, the fuel you took, wasn't enough.. and are there ways to deal with this other than using afterburner less, trying to conserve fuel? Like options for Ariel refueling etc.. in DCS
Im just chuckling as now GS says rate with an overly pronounced T now. Beautiful.
The old Mirage 2000 had a damn strong pimp hand, good fighter
got the Mirage today and as a newb this thing whips around so easily and I love it... but the gun reticle is so counterintuitive I have no Idea how to aim the thing correctly
Graphics were amazing on this one!
‘Ate’ would be proud!
I thought it was pronounced "tickle" fight. Boy, I was waaaayy off...
I always hear Rake (those tools to sweep up leaves) fight
Look at it this way....at least you don't have Jester bailing out on you.....
Ahhh, RATE fight, I was so confused why you and your opponents were always trying to out-rape one another. Glad you cleared that up.
what IS the diference between a 1 circle and 2 circle?
Also would like to see Gripen vs Flanker.
It's funny how he says raTE fight to not confuse people lol
Both the kills were outstanding....
You should put more heli videos up really like them
"Rate-fight", that would mean "turn-rate fight"...

Question: What had the better thrust:weight?
Few times there I would have turned and burned for energy, assuming equal or greater thrust. Those canards gonna eat you in thick air.
Cant you try to get in contact with a real swedish gripen pilot and fight in DCS that would be so cool to watch!
I mean id say we need a propper module for the gripen first
the mirage beeping is so obnoxious… great video still!!
I wonder if the result would be the same if the pilot of the gripen was as good as you... i swear i saw a couple of moments where you would've died if the JAS driver was more patient
It would be nice to see 2000 vs 22 in dogfight
yeah i would like to just see the numbers fight
do you need speed to turn faster i a raiT fight or you need to be slow ? i mean the sukhoi slows down to do the cobra and turn fast
So from an F-16 stand point how would you beat the gripen
Dont get slow. F16 does better at higher speeds, so a 2-circle would be my guess
Any Chance of doing the SAAF Cheetah vs. the Jas39?
