*How are [YOU] able to decide to add a feature like TWS ..? Are you creating the game? Do you get to create your own specs? This doesn't really make sense to me... (Thanks)*
trumanhw no no the developers haven't added it for the hornet yet. They hornet is still work in progress. They add the features as they go until it's finished
That was a great video. I always appreciate your content. It is so entertaining that it makes me think of putting a DCS setup together so I can get shot down over and over by you and your guys. Hopefully I will learn and become competitive. Thanks again!
I liked that too, but I was wondering why he only went with 1 carrying the strike package. To much could have gone wrong, 50/50 they get the the right one in a blind fire, and then the missile can still miss in the end.
I just woke up having a coffee and watching this in my bed. My GF is looking at me and saying Dude you are a nerd. Amazing cinematography. Awesome details. She wont understand its f18 vs Migs
@@terryboyer1342 What kind of relationship does not allow for a guy to spend 30 minutes on a saturday watching a video, rather than staring at his girl? Sounds to me like you are a slave terry lol.
This video shows that the enemy violated every facet of successful ACM. They did not act in a coordinated fashion, they were poorly positioned to take advantage of their numerical superiority, they gave away advantages by being behind the curve and trying to move to support each other instead of maintaining their offensive stance, turned cold instead of notching to maintain the press, lost SA and did not use their longer ranged missiles at an advantageous distance of over 15 nm, and finally, when they did attack, only attacked one opponent at a time when they are fully capable of multiple launches against multiple opponents. Conversely GS and Sonde used teamwork, coordination, and good communication, while maintaining good SA, to quickly cut the fight from 3:2 to 2:2, then when their opponents were disorganized they maintained good communication, SA, and coordinated an attack against the remaining MiG's which quickly eliminated their opponents. GS and Sonde could have been flying F4 Phantoms with Sparrows, and they would probably have won this match using the same tactics. The enemy might have been good pilots, but they were very poor opponents.
Kris Welter I agree with all of those points. Chemistry between the pilots is also a huge help as you said they deff could have made life much much harder for us, even splashing 1 of us quickly could resulted in a 3v1 or 2v1 situation which would have been an easy fight to win. Deff coordination and good communication are key in any fight. very good insightful comment brother 👍.
(1)The scenario of the video was explained clearly. (2)The scenario based pvp layout was entertaining to watch. (3)The video was educational due to clearly narrating both the combat footage and tacview. (4)The combat was over very quickly. Depending on how you pick your video footage, a longer engagement could possibly be more entertaining to watch. (5)I'm surprised over the lack of missiles fired from the red team. I would be interested to see how a team of air superiority fighters (su-27/f-15) would do in a similar situation when playing as red or aggressor squadron. Could they have completed their mission more aptly if employing a more patient strategy of trying to bleed the blue sides missiles, Taking turns to go cold and play it safe? (6)How do you select footage for the videos? Do you play it once and take the first try of the mission or do you play several times and pick the most entertaining/educational one?
Sten hi sten, yes the way I do it is run it once or twice as a warm up. Let everyone do a couple test runs to see how they want to play it. And then we do the fight regardless of who wins I'll use whatever one comes out "good" the first time thru. Really all I'm looking for is a version where no one had any connection issues and got disconnected for no reason, or lag, or if someone blacked out in a high G turn and hit the ground, we'll probably do another run.
Hey, Sunde! I'm roxedboxer. I think I faced off against you in a 1v1 the other day. Got my ass kicked (repeatedly), but I learned some things and had fun.
@@Surpriseify Definitely want to do that again sometime. Only way I'll learn is through a buttload of practice! Wish I would've remembered to let go of the afterburner, though. Might've lasted an extra 4 seconds. XD
Indeed man, finding someone more experienced, and getting hammered repeatedly will teach you loads, assuming you understand what you did wrong, a tool like Tacview is perfect in that you can review your fight afterwards to try and see what happend.
Great video! I think it's the first ground pound mission I've seen incorporated with pvp and TACview. I'm sure it took a lot more time and energy to setup but was very enjoyable to watch!
Alex Riley thank you I'm glad you enjoyed it. Yes this was a logistical nightmare to set up lol. And then the editing and all that. Always nice when you guys can see the work that goes into this kind of production. I appreciate it very much.
Good energy management and great violence of action. Sidewinder and Sunde won because they kept the pressure up. If your gonna die don't die with un-expended ordinance. Great video!
AIM-120s are very dangerous. My bro in law who was WSO in a Su-30 was attacked with 3 AIM-120C5 on 27th Feb from a distance of 30 nautical miles. Luckily he managed to evade them. Plus the El-8222WB onboard helped too. His colleague in a Mig-21 in another sector got hit by AIM-120C and was taken POW for a short time. The missiles failed to hit his wingman though.
I don't agree with some of your analysis of the situation, especially where the R77 doesn't track (because Thor went nose cold on you) but I can definitely say one conclusion is that Sunde is an excellent wingman. He does what he needs to do, follows his flight lead and communicates the situation well. I think that without him on your wing this would have been a much more difficult fight.
Hey man thanks for the kind words, really GS is very easy to fly with, calm and not the type that tries to micromanage your every move. Regarding the R77, remember that it is an active radar type missile, i.e assuming the missile has gone pitbull (77's does so off the rails) Thor's radar is no longer any factor in that missiles guidance. I think perhaps the nature of the maneuver that GS made, the high speed dive and then sudden quick reversal just had the 77 pull excessive lead, forcing its target out of its gimball limits, and go stupid as a result? Perhaps anyway.
Best video, best music, best style. Best everything. Thank you man. Your second masterpiece after that F-14 fight in which you also used this music. Awesome man. Thank you. Wish you do more and more of these videos.
Really enjoyed the more full mission format on this one. Makes for a better story than just merge-fight-tacview I guess. Also the com brevity comms. Tax(dollarsatwork) possibly the finest call sign ever IMHO
Norman Normal hahaha ya I love his name. And yes I will try to make the full mission thing a more common scenario on here. Would be really cool. It is a logistical nightmare to set up but if you guys enjoy it I'll try my best
GS thanks again for another awesome video! The way you gave some background info on the pilots, mission,etc was great. Always look forward to your vids brother!
and thats with basic RWS ( and within it LTWS) modes. Just wait until STT and TWS get added. With the latter youl be able to engage target(s) whilst still keeping an eye on the movement of others. And remember despite how people claim the AIm120C is is OP, it still is under performing
I watched the fight again after the tacview .. It really helps for someone like me who is shouting at the screen "WHERE I CANT SEE HIM" Haha Was a quick fight yet lots to take away from it.
I'm pretty sure Thor's r77 missed because he dropped lock after firing, making the missile try to find you on it's own with it's narrow and bad seekerhead making it drop dead. Mixed with those countermeasures and your speed.
AMRAAM the ultimate death note. I hear the D variant is a freaking monster in comparison to the C. The Fulcrums manage to put up a decent performance they are very maneuverable beast.
ya man, thats really how it tends to go with the aim120s, people will think its not "fair" but thats exactly what you want in a fight. U want it to be unfair and you want to have that advantage that will bring you home.
Situational awareness and first to fire seems to be the deciding factor in these fights. The 29's only managed to shoot one missile between the 3 of them versus like, what 10? Bet our war fighters can't wait for the new AIM-280 or even the Meteor so they can shoot from even further.
Id love to see the Tacviews take place with the opponents in the discussion so we can get thier viewpoints and what they thought the situation was at the time. It seems like they had no clue you guys were in the area at the time you engaged them. Would be nice if they were in Tacview to confirm or deny that.
Nice video, liked the new setup and personally i loved the part where you added music Maybe you should try add more in some scenes, like the external views of the combat cheers 🍻
A question about notching a missile in the case it has already gone pittbull (an ARH missile obviously): Is it supposed to work the same way it does with a missile that is being guided by the aircraft's own radar (semi-active mode, TWS) ...? Flying perpendicular to a (fighter/aircraft) radar filters out the Doppler effect (or rather the computer algorythmn filters out a target of 90 deg heading), so it "blinds" only a pulse-Doppler radar, right? (feel free to correct and inform me) I have a hard time believing that the tiny radar within an AAM would pack a pulse-Doppler radar & a computer to calculate the Doppler sift (at least in the case of the AIM-54 Phoenix, which was conceived in the era of analogue computers) I understand that the notching manouver might take the aircraft out of the missiles radar cone and thus break the lock.
Really enjoying your videos. Makes me want to get a PC, DCS, and get into it. Because I’m into music recording, mixing, and graphics programs, I’m all Macs at home. I think DCS is PC only? Anyway, used to play older combat sims. Great work on your vids. Very informative on the tactics.
I was in 122 when it transitioned from F-4s. We received well worn A models from the RAG @ Cecil in Jax. They (122) were then the Crusaders. Had to make a name change when SWA ops began.
When I saw the vid I said "Everyone, I am offline for the next 60min". 30 to watch it the first time and 30 to digest what happened and why you did what you did. You guys make most guys in SATAL look like new trainees. Your formations were clean, defense on point, everything was not flawless but definitely professional. Those migs defended very well. Are there any Top Gun like training videos out there for DCS? I am not saying this because of the movie coming out. I just think it would be a good watch to see DCS's vets posing as aggressors and challenging those who are good stats at SATAL and think they are the best.
Great Video Sidewinder, I really enjoy how you explain your actions in the tac view, It adds a new perspective to the fight. The objective was a nice touch too, added a new layer to the mission. Are you planning on doing more of these kind of videos in the future?
5 років тому+1
Good stuff, I like this objective based approach! But, honestly, all the content is great because the real value is the tacview analysis. Watching tacview analysis many times I ask "how on earth he knew the other plane is there?"
Really cool show guys. Great flying and great editing! Looks fantastic. I'm glad to see you're working with a 1080TI, which is what I'm running. What sound effects did you add?
Very nice. Side note: would recommend not going to STT so quick. Didn't shoot until like 10-15 miles out but you had him in STT at like 30. Would have had more situational awareness by staying in search. Not to mention it lights up their RWR.
awesome video mate, and love the tacview at the end, really in-depth on how you engaged your targets. just wondering, with the missile sounds, are they a mod or original dcs sounds cause they sound amazing. keep up the great work.
Matt Warne thanks brother, ya I edit in some of the missile impact sounds and stuff just for dramatic effect. I think it adds a lot to the video/immersion
Great content and skills guys! Also Tax did really well there! When you went for the deck to defend that R-77 I felt that was going to be a hit...Funny what happened in TacView... Also curious the Fulcrums didn’t launch sooner? Did they have a fuzzy picture for some reason?
I don’t know if they have a program for the super hornet e or f model or even the g variant for iron hand strikes but I think a full a to a load out on a super hornet is unreal 10 aim-120c and also 6 aim-9x with drop tank on centerline station would be cool to see videos on the super hornets f/a-18 has always been one of my favorite aircraft
Thanks, good stuff! Would be more interresting if awacs were in the mix, because Hornets here had full SA wilst Migs were always going to get surprised. Their defending looked sluggish too, I guess they need more practice with the Fulcrum. Keep on flying dude ;-)
Recently subscribed GS. Top quality channel mate! 👌👍Watching DCS blows my mind the same way FA18 Interceptor on the Amiga 500 did 20+ years ago when my dad upgraded our Commodore 64. Would you consider doing an upload on your PC/VR set-up and approximate cost to get started? Loved the clip with your non AI RIO working together in the Tomcat, despite the outcome. Keep up the great work GS!!!👊
First of all, you should do more this kind of objective videos, this was really amazing like in the old days as you re-created the Iraq campaign/missions. Usually, I'm not a fan of the Tacview analysis but this time I wanted to know how three MiG-29S, with two how you've said experienced and aggressive pilots couldn't get one splash. Especially I was surprised that they don't even try to put you both onto the defensive with the R-77s. So I've watched the Tacview analysis and I have a possible explanation of why the R-77 didn't track properly. As I had seen this, I opened the FC3 manual and searched for the datasheet of the R-77. My explanation is that it did track you but wasn't fired at a proper angle so as the missile was fired the seekerhead hit its limit of +/-60° as it tried to get lead on you. I hope one of the MiG pilots read this comment for a better understanding. They really should staid together. As always nice Video Growling Sidewinder!
Growling Sidewinder i have a question..Why is it when your in cockpit and opposing jets fly by mach 2 that their isnt any sound barrier broken but in cinema replay or cinema flight that their is a sound barrier bust?...is it something as far as volume turned off or anything. i'm just wondering about that
Hey Sidewinder. I enjoy your Vids so much, always a pleasure listening to you and your knowledge. At the end, this was the Wild Weaasel tactic am i right? Exept u don't have the HARM Missile for engaging on Radar Stations, but ur doing it still with the Hunter and Killer tactic is that correct?. Anyway, keep it up with this great Channel and i will stay tuned for more. King Snake out :)
hi bro, ur correct in the sense that it was wild weasel style with Sunde distracting or "luring" the threat to engage him so I could come in easily and hit the target yes. And thank you for the support man it's much appreciated
Great video as always. As a Fulcrum fan and (virtual) pilot I hope for more videos vs MiG's. You are really doing a great job,just cant figurr why fulcrums haven't fired or gone defensive?
@@GrowlingSidewinder yeah it happens. SA is everything, thats one of the cons of Fulcrum. One day when I get dcs hope to fly on your server and maybe face one day. I literally cry after turning on flaming cliffs 2 after your videos 😅
Those sounds effect at 0715 or so, with the ticking and music.....what are those? Its a cool beat that I wouldn't mind using if you can tell me! Awesome content as always
Not enough fire suppression from the migs, vigorous defense on them against the spamram except for their first killed not reacting) but the danger of defense is relying on it and losing initiative. In the end their defense was not coordinated. The air force concept of a rolling linear attack, one shoots and turns back while the next arrives behind to press would have worked better. A parallel L shaped attack is trickier in flight for risk of fratricides but can be delineated in a high low double ship formation. A bait and a chaser attack is another variant of that. If the coverage of the anti aircraft systems had been larger, the migs could have baited you into the zone.

Armoured Burrito glad you liked it, I'll try to do it for future videos too.
I liked that too, but I was wondering why he only went with 1 carrying the strike package. To much could have gone wrong, 50/50 they get the the right one in a blind fire, and then the missile can still miss in the end.

This video shows that the enemy violated every facet of successful ACM. They did not act in a coordinated fashion, they were poorly positioned to take advantage of their numerical superiority, they gave away advantages by being behind the curve and trying to move to support each other instead of maintaining their offensive stance, turned cold instead of notching to maintain the press, lost SA and did not use their longer ranged missiles at an advantageous distance of over 15 nm, and finally, when they did attack, only attacked one opponent at a time when they are fully capable of multiple launches against multiple opponents.

RahRahRaharu thanks man and yes that's right brother. If u have missiles use them.no point in getting killed and having missiles on ur pylons still.

And remember despite how people claim the AIm120C is is OP, it still is under performing
Great vid.
I'd like to see this with realistic load outs. More likely the Bugs would have 2 AIM-9 and 2 AIM120c and 2 JDAMs for the described mission.
I paused the video after the intro of the teams and pilots...
Im hyped to see how this plays out,
I look forward to every video GS.
AvidGamer ya I'm liking this intro thing a lot of people are giving positive feedback so I'm gonna keep doing it.
I watched the fight again after the tacview .. It really helps for someone like me who is shouting at the screen "WHERE I CANT SEE HIM" Haha
Was a quick fight yet lots to take away from it.
10/10 on the music choice when the migs are revealed
Okay, that music @ around 7 minutes is straight out of Terminator. Fits well.
That was epic. Really enjoy the mission videos!
Great video and nice change of pace with the objective. I'm not surprised tax dollars dodged those 120s. He's dodged tons of mine in a F14.
I'm pretty sure Thor's r77 missed because he dropped lock after firing, making the missile try to find you on it's own with it's narrow and bad seekerhead making it drop dead. Mixed with those countermeasures and your speed.
WHAT UP BROTHA,
Great run, you and Sunde killed it.
I like your new Growling Sidewinder insignia- looks really good and clean.. Great video as well..
Nice! Good idea spicing it up and going for an air to ground objective with air to air.
Jeff Shapiro just an experiment right now but would love to do more/more complex style missions.
I would love to see more objective-based missions in the future. It provides context for the engagements.
great wingman btw. He is very confident and give useful informations

(feel free to correct and inform me) I have a hard time believing that the tiny radar within an AAM would pack a pulse-Doppler radar & a computer to calculate the Doppler sift (at least in the case of the AIM-54 Phoenix, which was conceived in the era of analogue computers) I understand that the notching manouver might take the aircraft out of the missiles radar cone and thus break the lock.
Really enjoying your videos. Makes me want to get a PC, DCS, and get into it. Because I’m into music recording, mixing, and graphics programs, I’m all Macs at home. I think DCS is PC only? Anyway, used to play older combat sims. Great work on your vids. Very informative on the tactics.
Let me just say this
*“Top Gun: Maverick” looking good so far*
Man, those missile impacts sound great.
I was in 122 when it transitioned from F-4s. We received well worn A models from the RAG @ Cecil in Jax. They (122) were then the Crusaders. Had to make a name change when SWA ops began.
Great choice of debriefing music!
When I saw the vid I said "Everyone, I am offline for the next 60min". 30 to watch it the first time and 30 to digest what happened and why you did what you did. You guys make most guys in SATAL look like new trainees. Your formations were clean, defense on point, everything was not flawless but definitely professional. Those migs defended very well.
Are there any Top Gun like training videos out there for DCS? I am not saying this because of the movie coming out. I just think it would be a good watch to see DCS's vets posing as aggressors and challenging those who are good stats at SATAL and think they are the best.
I love this game and I wanna learn it so bad. Do you have any guides for learning the game or have any thoughts for new players?
Great Video Sidewinder, I really enjoy how you explain your actions in the tac view, It adds a new perspective to the fight. The objective was a nice touch too, added a new layer to the mission. Are you planning on doing more of these kind of videos in the future?
Good stuff, I like this objective based approach! But, honestly, all the content is great because the real value is the tacview analysis. Watching tacview analysis many times I ask "how on earth he knew the other plane is there?"
Thanks brother and the answer is "situational awareness" if u can keep it up you can have a good idea of where to look for the enemy.
I can't get over how stunning the visuals are in this sim. The only next step would be getting plugged in like The Matrix.
What a great vid. Very awesome mission. I love this channel.
Really cool show guys. Great flying and great editing! Looks fantastic. I'm glad to see you're working with a 1080TI, which is what I'm running. What sound effects did you add?
Very nice. Side note: would recommend not going to STT so quick. Didn't shoot until like 10-15 miles out but you had him in STT at like 30. Would have had more situational awareness by staying in search. Not to mention it lights up their RWR.
This channel is dope bro, I’m console but this is still amazing. Currently on AC7.
The intro was next level.
6:55 that feels so fucking ominous and I love it
awesome video mate, and love the tacview at the end, really in-depth on how you engaged your targets. just wondering, with the missile sounds, are they a mod or original dcs sounds cause they sound amazing. keep up the great work.
Matt Warne thanks brother, ya I edit in some of the missile impact sounds and stuff just for dramatic effect. I think it adds a lot to the video/immersion
I loved the new format.
Excellent video once more! Do you happen to share your mission files Sidewinder?
Great content and skills guys! Also Tax did really well there! When you went for the deck to defend that R-77 I felt that was going to be a hit...Funny what happened in TacView... Also curious the Fulcrums didn’t launch sooner? Did they have a fuzzy picture for some reason?
The entire plot of Top Gun 4 or Iron Eagle 10!
Top quality content as always!
I don’t know if they have a program for the super hornet e or f model or even the g variant for iron hand strikes but I think a full a to a load out on a super hornet is unreal 10 aim-120c and also 6 aim-9x with drop tank on centerline station would be cool to see videos on the super hornets f/a-18 has always been one of my favorite aircraft
Thanks, good stuff!
Would be more interresting if awacs were in the mix, because Hornets here had full SA wilst Migs were always going to get surprised. Their defending looked sluggish too, I guess they need more practice with the Fulcrum. Keep on flying dude ;-)
Kon Fuzon the migs had early warning radar I forgot to mention that in the video my apologies.
Recently subscribed GS. Top quality channel mate! 👌👍Watching DCS blows my mind the same way FA18 Interceptor on the Amiga 500 did 20+ years ago when my dad upgraded our Commodore 64.
Would you consider doing an upload on your PC/VR set-up and approximate cost to get started? Loved the clip with your non AI RIO working together in the Tomcat, despite the outcome.
Keep up the great work GS!!!👊
First of all, you should do more this kind of objective videos, this was really amazing like in the old days as you re-created the Iraq campaign/missions.
Usually, I'm not a fan of the Tacview analysis but this time I wanted to know how three MiG-29S, with two how you've said experienced and aggressive pilots couldn't get one splash. Especially I was surprised that they don't even try to put you both onto the defensive with the R-77s.
So I've watched the Tacview analysis and I have a possible explanation of why the R-77 didn't track properly. As I had seen this, I opened the FC3 manual and searched for the datasheet of the R-77. My explanation is that it did track you but wasn't fired at a proper angle so as the missile was fired the seekerhead hit its limit of +/-60° as it tried to get lead on you.
I hope one of the MiG pilots read this comment for a better understanding. They really should staid together.
As always nice Video Growling Sidewinder!
Awesome video! Are you excited for the F-16C
MammerMan56 hell ya I can't wait.
Where do you learn all of this..? I’m still trying to figure out how to use half of the hornets systems with the training half explanations.
One of my favorite YT concept
NICE!....I have been secretly hoping/wishing for a mission like this.....
really like the new format
Well Done. You should do more like this.
Growling Sidewinder i have a question..Why is it when your in cockpit and opposing jets fly by mach 2 that their isnt any sound barrier broken but in cinema replay or cinema flight that their is a sound barrier bust?...is it something as far as volume turned off or anything. i'm just wondering about that
Quinton Campbell it's probably a sound effect they haven't added in. I'm sure stuff like that will eventually make its way into the sim.
Another awesome vid man
Definitely a do or die mission if I do say so myself.
Hey Sidewinder. I enjoy your Vids so much, always a pleasure listening to you and your knowledge. At the end, this was the Wild Weaasel tactic am i right? Exept u don't have the HARM Missile for engaging on Radar Stations, but ur doing it still with the Hunter and Killer tactic is that correct?. Anyway, keep it up with this great Channel and i will stay tuned for more. King Snake out :)
hi bro, ur correct in the sense that it was wild weasel style with Sunde distracting or "luring" the threat to engage him so I could come in easily and hit the target yes. And thank you for the support man it's much appreciated
I'd really like to know where did u get that soundtrack in 06:55 from ? IT DAMS, BOI !
serageo Sicario theme song boss
@@GrowlingSidewinder I knew I recognized that lole
Thx, dude. U awesome !
Great videos! I'm not getting my other tasks done! haha
Great video as always. As a Fulcrum fan and (virtual) pilot I hope for more videos vs MiG's.
You are really doing a great job,just cant figurr why fulcrums haven't fired or gone defensive?
Blaze thanks man I think they just misunderstanded the time they had ended up getting splashed before they could do anything
@@GrowlingSidewinder yeah it happens. SA is everything, thats one of the cons of Fulcrum. One day when I get dcs hope to fly on your server and maybe face one day. I literally cry after turning on flaming cliffs 2 after your videos 😅
haha I hope to see you up there sometime boss
Those sounds effect at 0715 or so, with the ticking and music.....what are those? Its a cool beat that I wouldn't mind using if you can tell me! Awesome content as always
hey man, here is the link to the song ua-cam.com/video/K3d4-VMtiOU/v-deo.html
@@GrowlingSidewinder Awesome thanks dude!
NICELY DONE. GREAT SKILLS
Not enough fire suppression from the migs, vigorous defense on them against the spamram except for their first killed not reacting) but the danger of defense is relying on it and losing initiative. In the end their defense was not coordinated. The air force concept of a rolling linear attack, one shoots and turns back while the next arrives behind to press would have worked better. A parallel L shaped attack is trickier in flight for risk of fratricides but can be delineated in a high low double ship formation. A bait and a chaser attack is another variant of that. If the coverage of the anti aircraft systems had been larger, the migs could have baited you into the zone.
