It's sad how is the most of the comments just ignoring the video and talking about other things like suggestions, first, etc.., this video deserve more attention, Great job GS keep the good work :D
Just because people are not talking about the video. does not mean they're not paying attention. I do. I learn a lot. or will learn more by throwing different aircraft suggesting different aircraft. So, I can learn better. Just like other people.
Hey GS, I've been watching you for the last 7 years. I begin to miss the TacView after the fight. Yes, I know many of us stopped watching it years ago and I'm sure the analytics show it. But please bring the TacView back to 80 miles BVR fights like these at least some times. I'd like to geek out on speed differences between the missile types and I want to see where they travel and where they end up falling when each of you successfully defeat them.
Was thinking of the same thing. It is probably quite time consuming to do that, hence I assume he stopped doing that, but it would be really great to see those.
Its funny, I just watched a 3 year old vid because YT put it in my suggested vids for some reason, even though i'd seen it. Watched it anyways and saw that it had TacView and I agree that for some engagements, especially these sorts of ultra-long engagements or complicated engagements with many bogeys and so on; basically any video where a lot of guessing is involved. I can also see TacView being inserted in short bursts in the action footage, probably accelerated, so that it gives situational awareness to the viewers.
I think the first 3 needed more guidance. Test with adding an AWACS to help with guidance. AIM-174 is meant to be assisted by a big radar. I thinks it's seeker is for the las 10 - 20 miles

@@GrowlingSidewinder One wouldn't think that a ~15 inch larger (thiccer) munition would make that substantial of a difference in RCS but it's entirely possible.
I believe it's more about the shape instead of the size. A clean Super Hornet have RCS 5 times smaller than its actual size, disturb the shape a little bit and the RCS increase drastically
With the legs on the AIM-174, the F-18E/F radar is underanging it. It is meant to be used with a datalink aircraft (specifically the F-35) to provide lock and the hornet to launch on that lock, not it's own. Could you put them in place of the AIM-54's on a F-14B with it's AUG-9 radar. It should have the range to take advantage of the AIM-174? I am not a DCS player, but love your videos.
@@snakeoo7ca His point is that the F/A-18 doesn't have a good enough radar to get the full use out of the missiles range, but since it has data link the F-18 can fire the missile based on guidance from the F-35 through their data link and using the F-35s superior radar.
I know they are using the Super Hornet as a testbed for the AIM 174b, but wouldn't other aircraft be able to carry it eventually, assuming their wings have the structural stability? Maybe, like an F-15E with AIM 174s vs SU 57 with R-37s? That could be a neat matchup. I would say it would be a good idea for the 'Outmatched' series, but the F-15's radar is kind of a beast...
It’s not only the testbed, it’s the primary launch platform for the AIM-174B because there aren’t any other aircraft in their inventory with the ability to carry the AIM-174B. Integration with other aircraft from other services would take time, while integration with F-35C seems impossible at this moment due to its gigantic size.
Interesting how highly-reflective recent missile development is of late-50's future air power/combat predictions: Interceptors delivering long-range, high-speed armaments at BVR targets, versus close-quarters dogfights that require/involve guns.
The R-37M is basically Phoenix-sized: about 10% more weight (1120 lbs for R-37M, 1024 lbs for AIM-54C), same body diameter (15"), slightly longer (13 feet and change vs 12 feet and change), slightly smaller wingspan (28" vs 36"). I suspect it can only be mounted to certain stations on most of their aircraft. Much larger than the AIM-120D, which is a little shorter but much skinnier (7" diameter) and lighter (354 lbs). Of course, the AIM-174B at about 21" long, 13.5" wide and 1900 lbs is a behemoth.
I've always wondered why the US didn't seem so worried about our air-to-air missiles. You see russia, China, UK, and other countries creating long range and/or hypersonic AAMs. The moment that the US announced this, all my wonders were put to rest. I forgot that if these other countries have it, then the US already has it and isn't telling us about it.
Whoever does the model for SM-6 needs to keep in mind that the 3.5 mach listed speed is probably assuming that the missile is being fired from sea level and climbing to altitude (up to 110,000ft) to engage the target. If you even fired it horizontally, it’s probably going to go faster, never mind from an aircraft that may already be moving near mach or above, and at considerable altitude.
Ok, is it only me that jump out sit when the missile hits like? I'm totally listening and focusing hard and then 🎉(hello). Awesome Job brother love your mini movies!!!!
Another great video. Always enjoy BVR chess matches. Interesting to see how differences in missile velocity become more significant at longer ranges. BTW, what happened to that last fox3 from the flanker?
I would guess the AIM-174B would be carried on the F-18 in a similar load as the F-14 used with the Phoenix. Two AIM-174s, 2 AMRAAMs and 2 Aim-9Xs. The F-14 typically carried 2 Phoenix, 2 Sparrows and 2 Sidewinders. Two long range, 2 medium range, and 2 dogfight missiles.
Ever since your first vid on the aim-174B I had this question in mind. What’s the difference between it and the aim-260 long range anti air missile practically speaking?
AIM-260 is for 200-300km range and will be carried by both F-35 and F-22. AIM-174B is for 400+km range similar to Raytheon's LREW and will be carried by 4th gen platforms. However since AIM-174B can also be used to strike maritime targets it may stay with the USN.
Adding onto what others have replied, the AIM-174B also has an inertial guidance computer in addition to its radar seeker. Provided it is calibrated prior to takeoff, the missile knows at all times its distance from and altitude relative to a fixed point on Earth (+/- the drift that naturally occurs with inertial guidance). This means that, at least on paper, the AIM-174B can be used as either an air intercept missile or as an air-to-ground cruise missile against stationary targets (on inertial guidance, the missile only knows where a target is relative to its starting point, so it only understands "go here" and doesn't receive mid-flight updates, but once launched, it doesn't need continuous guidance either). This mission flexibility is why it's referred to broadly as the SM-6 ("standard missile"), and AIM-174B only when configured for air-to-air (or as RIM-174B when configured for surface-to-air).
Go to the bathroom and use earbuds hahaha. Or just save it as a post work relaxation nugget when you get home like I do. It's like saving the best for last.
Would have been interesting to hear more about effective use of the SM-6 and your radar. I'm fairly sure by mid vid people grasped just how compact the R-37 is, girthy the SM-6 is, and the effect on your g-pull and wings.
I'm still thinking, why does U.S. operational long range and hypersonic missile is still not available while the Russia has been use it since a long time ago,.
I would argue that Russian hypersonics are vastly overselled in its capabilities, even the “hypersonic” cruise missiles they have aren’t really true hypersonics, they are are hypersonic in their launch phase but slow drastically down later, I expect their A2A hypersonics are vastly overstated to. The aim 174 is kinda unhinged when you think about it if it’s paired with datalink and a F15EX acting as a missile truck
@@socomgaming1014 Aren't hypersonic air-to-air missiles like meteor accelerated by an airplane? Or are they launched from the ground to get the "hypersound" achievement?
Im curious the size difference between and SM6 and an AGM88. Was a munitions guy in the Air Force but got to work with the F14 and in 2003 the F14 was still using AIM7's. As an Air Force guy we learned about them but I had never seen one in person. We quickly took down their AIM7's and gave them a 120 varient that had not been disclosed at the time.
What’s bulldog range on the Aim-174? Is your missile taking longer to reach target really a disadvantage? You might be able to get into a position where you’ve defeated your opponents missile while they’re still defensive from yours and use that to get into a better position.
If by "Bulldog" you mean the missiles on board seeker going active, that's called going "Pitbull" and the missile has the same seeker as the AIM-120D so probably 15-20mi-ish.
I’ve discovered your channel in the last few days and they are great to watch the only problem is that I have no knowledge of aviation whatsoever so I have no idea what’s going on lol I hear you saying you know where he is and you probably see him on the radio but i know idea how to understand or use the radios or see where he is myself Edit: I just looked on your channel saw you have a couple tutorials these will be a massive help lol
I know we're seen the hornet equipped with these missiles, but can you do a vid with the EX and these AIM174Bs? PLEASE, cause im guessing they're working on that as well for both fronts
Suggesting a video with the new Lockhead Martin “mako” hypersonic misleading that has been announced as moving through additional testing with multiple platforms.
You have very interesting videos of the new missiles. Please tell me. Where can I get mods for aircraft and missiles that you show in the videos? I really want to evaluate Su-27 and F-18 with these missiles in TacView.
I don’t know if you can pull it off in DCS but it would be cool if you could use the cooperative engagement capability to keep yourself safe from the R-37
Depending on the modle used..(?) the SM-6 could have a very very powerful radar. It's the same 'brain' as an AMRAM but has four times the power output as it has a much larger array to transmit. So it will detect and lock on at much greater range.
The only good thing you could really say about the SM-6 compared to its Russian counterpart: " i do like the look of the Hornet with the 4 SM-6 straped onto it" 😂😂
Don't ask me how but I just knew he will be shot in that mountain. I think that missile was defendable by sharper turn, heading more to the ground, but not with this payload under wings.
The peak speed of the SM-6 is listed as greater than Mach 3.5+, but if you use a rocket calculator, if the peak velocity is only Mach 3.5 at 135,000 feet on a 45° angle launch, then the maximum range is about 765,000 feet or roughly 144 miles. We know that the missile has mad an interception at 240 miles+ on an aerial target from a surface launch, so that requires that the peak velocity at 135,000 feet to be Mach 5.7. I think that it is important to remember the amount of copium from the Russian side.
If we want to talk real copium, In reality it's also important that to remember that russian pilots have far less yearly flight time than American pilots. So the US has more time training than Russians. So while some airframes from Russia are pretty capable, the pilots flying them might not be as capable. So the difficulty mentioned about fighting off the tracking of the SM-6 might be quite a bit harder than a lot could manage.

Edit: I just looked on your channel saw you have a couple tutorials these will be a massive help lol
I know we're seen the hornet equipped with these missiles, but can you do a vid with the EX and these AIM174Bs? PLEASE, cause im guessing they're working on that as well for both fronts
AIM174 only for navy
Seems like a missle for the Tomcat
Suggesting a video with the new Lockhead Martin “mako” hypersonic misleading that has been announced as moving through additional testing with multiple platforms.
You have very interesting videos of the new missiles. Please tell me. Where can I get mods for aircraft and missiles that you show in the videos? I really want to evaluate Su-27 and F-18 with these missiles in TacView.
8:45 hey man... whyd he say it like that?
BVR fight: F/A-18 with AIM-174B vs. F-14C/D with AIM-54C. Sort of an OG vs. New Kid matchup. Make it happen.
Excellent work as always ❤
I wonder if any other aircraft will carry this missile
Great video, but to complete the experiment, you need to swap seats!
You need to update your weather mod to the latest version 😉
I assume you're THE bandit648 that made the mod, would love to chat if you have a discord ?
I was wondering which map and how you got those killer weather patterns. Would love a tutorial or details on how to get my weather looking like this.
@@velvetsound Checkout the mod here, everything is explained in the mod description www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3335023/
Damn this is one girthy boi youre shooting
they ought to call that missile the firebird (or phirebird for... ya know)
I don’t know if you can pull it off in DCS but it would be cool if you could use the cooperative engagement capability to keep yourself safe from the R-37
I'd like to request a JF-17 mission, I haven't been seeing you flying the aircraft for pretty much a while to be entirely honest 🤭🤭😯
Why didn't you fire first? You had the high ground, Ben!
What about the aim 174b vs the meteor
8:52... That's what she said.
Can you mount this missile on other planes like an F15 which has a good radar and more speed? ...thanks
Depending on the modle used..(?) the SM-6 could have a very very powerful radar. It's the same 'brain' as an AMRAM but has four times the power output as it has a much larger array to transmit. So it will detect and lock on at much greater range.
The only good thing you could really say about the SM-6 compared to its Russian counterpart: " i do like the look of the Hornet with the 4 SM-6 straped onto it" 😂😂
Don't ask me how but I just knew he will be shot in that mountain. I think that missile was defendable by sharper turn, heading more to the ground, but not with this payload under wings.
You should strap the AIM 157 to the F14, I bes you will get amazing results!!!!
Not sure if possible but Ill throw it here, F-16 Block 30 bigmouth vs F-16 Block 50 in BFM
The peak speed of the SM-6 is listed as greater than Mach 3.5+, but if you use a rocket calculator, if the peak velocity is only Mach 3.5 at 135,000 feet on a 45° angle launch, then the maximum range is about 765,000 feet or roughly 144 miles. We know that the missile has mad an interception at 240 miles+ on an aerial target from a surface launch, so that requires that the peak velocity at 135,000 feet to be Mach 5.7. I think that it is important to remember the amount of copium from the Russian side.
If we want to talk real copium, In reality it's also important that to remember that russian pilots have far less yearly flight time than American pilots. So the US has more time training than Russians. So while some airframes from Russia are pretty capable, the pilots flying them might not be as capable. So the difficulty mentioned about fighting off the tracking of the SM-6 might be quite a bit harder than a lot could manage.
Can we get a fight where you use r-27er/et against aim-120a/b/c
