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, F-4 Phantom, Su-27, Mig-29, Mirage and the F-18 Hornet along with many other aircraft and helicopters like the Ka-50 and Mi-8.

Thank you guys for watching and if you have any ideas for future videos please put them in the comment section below, big Thank you to Heatblur for allowing us to have a sneak peek at the F-4 here, thank you all again , much Love.
Can you link the codes for adding the HARM to the F-4?
Day 97 asking for F-22 vs 10 MiG 21
NGAD vs F-15 ACTIVE, dogfight, guns or missiles (or both) plzkthx
SU-57 vs F-15 ACTIVE, dogfight, guns or missiles (or both) plzkthx
SU-47 vs F-15 ACTIVE, dogfight, guns or missiles (or both) plzkthx
SU-47 vs SU-57, dogfight, guns or missiles (or both) plzkthx
SU-47 vs NGAD, dogfight, guns or missiles (or both) plzkthx
If you're going to fly Iron Hand, you really want the enemy to shoot a few missiles at you so you know exactly where their radar is and what band they're using. It definitely takes a certain kind of pilot to fly SEAD missions.
Ehhh I like the f 16 with the HAD, easy work
Sympathies to that poor Eagle Driver who has to go back to the O-Club and admit a F-4G bailed him out...
Probably only reason Eagles are undefeated. Always a phantom in the area to clear their 6 for them. 😁
Unlike the AGM-45 Shrike or the AGM-78 Standard ARM, the AGM-88 HARM has an autopilot to back up the passive RF seeker. If the enemy SAM site shuts down its radar, the autopilot will remember the inertial coordinates of the radar, and the missile will continue to the last computed target location. It's not as accurate as homing all the way, but it is accurate enough, given the size of the blast/frag warhead, to shred the radar antenna and associated equipment. Also note the HARM has a broad-band seeker that has multiple radar signatures programmed into it, so, unlike Shrike or Standard ARM, it doesn't have to be "tuned" for a specific type of radar before the mission.
*On the C model only, plus the harm had to of had a perfect triangulation or PGM of the sam to even generate coordinates
Ahh the soothing sounds of the VA hearing test!
What a gorgeous model. We live in an age where we are blessed with such fidelity in these sims. Look at the level of detail on the underside... I'd like to talk to the people that crafted this...
Patiently waiting for GS to drop the BF3 F-18 mission “Going Hunting”
the F-4E has been out for 2 days and GS is already modding weapons 💀
Pushing boundaries mate
I was wondering if this was possible but deadass have no idea how to do it , the shrikes suck ass
I am almost getting old ... the F4 will always have and BE one the of the most revered and loved platform of all time ....outstanding!
God the F4 looks strange in "standard" gray paint lol, I'm so used to seeing it in green/brown camo.
I’m loving Phantom-Tube! I saw the Blue Angels when they flew them. My first favorite fighter. 🤙
There is a book called 'Magnum' by Brick Eisel and Jim Schreiber about this very thing, it's a fascinating read.
Regarding loadouts, I believe 2x HARM on the outer pylons, and then 3x each Mavericks and cluster bombs on the inboard pylons was also a combat loadout. Then centerline tank, natch, and 2 or 3x Sparrows and a jammer pod in the 4th Sparrow well.
IDK why but SEAD missions have become some of my fav to watch you do. It's just such a cool thing to do, "F*ck your SAMs I'm coming in anyway"
Thought my fire alarm went off 😂
At Gowen Field in Boise, they had RF-4s, then F-4Gs, and now A-10s. In 2026, they are supposed to be getting F-16s.
The F-4G usually didn't carry wing tanks, as they tended to mask some of the APR-38 (and later APR-45) Radar Homing and Warning system antennas, causing issues with localizing threat emitters (SAM radars). The F-4G carried a 600 gallon centerline tank from the F-15, to make up for the lack of wing tanks. The F-4E 'killer' part of the F-4G / F-4E hunter-killer teams usually carried wing tanks, as very few of the F-4Es were modified to carry the 600 gallon centerline tanks.
That was another one **** of a mission well accomplished. Well done! The simulation of the F4 looks real good, as far as I can tell. And it´s a beautiful bird in imho, to boot. Thank you for another, as always, great video!
Give the USN some love! We need carrier launches.
The Navy model of the F-4 isn't out yet, I don't think. At least not the official HeatBlur one. I would love for it to be, though!
I'd love to see an F4 vs A4 dogfight from both sides.
The HARM tone, asking you, if you'd like a free trial of tinnitus.
Hell Yeah. Thank you GS, please feel free to do any content involving the air campaign part of Desert Storm.
Solid performance! 2 MiGs and a whole bunch of SAMs, pleasure to watch!
With proper air support it can still carry a buttload. It's kinda sad watching all the old air frames get retired but they've done a lot of work. I saw south korea just retired theirs But I get it. Even an old workhorse has its day.😢
My neighbors son flew wild weasel missions in the F4 and later in the F111. Now he's a commercial airlines pilot.
Weaseling in the 111?
@@Name-ps9fx Yes, the F111 had terrain following radar that allowed it to fly extremely low and fast to avoid being picked up on radar. It was much faster than the F4 and almost every other fighter.
Loving the Phantom content. 👻
F-4Es of the 3rd TFW from Clark AFB also participated in Desert Storm out of Turkey
Good to know the Harm tone is the exact tone of my tinnitus
You are not kidding about the tone!! It takes me back to my hearing tests! 😂
Love the videos man ! .. your laugh during the mission cracks me up ! . You sir are a pro !!
Imma be honest, I was fully expecting you to get slapped out of the sky by a Fulcrum at some point, but I guess you slapped them before they had a chance. Nice flying and awesome vid
Nice video! I've really enjoyed flying the F4E and wondered if you ran into the same bug as I have? My problem is that when I restart my created mission, Jester seems to not be able to lock the ground. What I mean is he just continuously says things like "I got it locked" and I can tell he doesn’t. Since my reticle doesn’t fill up with orange like it does when he actually has the ground locked. I'm sure it's a bug, but I just wondered if you have seen it and maybe have a fix? Anyway, keep it up, and I love flying the F4E. It's 5 out of 5 good! I highly recommend it!!
I’m digging all of these F-4 videos!
This was the video I’ve been waiting for. The Gulf War Wild Weasel F-4/F-16 pair was my fighter jet All-Star team when I was a kid
Valiant Air Command Air Museum in Titusville, FL has a great F4. One of my favorite aircraft designs.
Be careful if you do too much weaseling, The Weasel himself: Pauly Shore will start watching and liking your videos. Weaselll BU-ddy! 😜
Hot damn that opening. Getting better my man!
Would be so dope if we eventually get addons for the phantom for other variants. USMC carrier phantoms, yes please, but also GWOT era German and Greek phantoms with upgraded avionics, MFDs and AMRAAM capability, on top of proper F-4G Wild Weasels
She’s a pretty bird.
Starbaby? Are you here? 😂
Yes! OG Wild Weasel content!
GS hit the good old ac7 double tap on that mig lol
Nice work. Very entertaining 💪
Between the new Phantom and the Kiowa I have not run another module in DCS. The weapons like the Walleye are just too much fun!
For a moment, I thought I had tinnitus and both ears instead of just my right
thank you for the F-4G wild weasel video GS
They wanted our pilots to go deaf
You should put that (sunglasses) on when you're blinded by the sun.
Two MIG splashes in the bathtub is pretty damn solid.
Phantom rescues Eagles. Awesome.
With the F-4 getting done so well could we see some more second and third generation cold war warriors ? I’d frankly love to see the F-8 Crusader, Grumman A-6 and the F-105 Thunderchief for that full Vietnam experience. And of course long needed is the F-100
Hopefully we get the Idaho Weasel skin as well, they took part in Desert Storm
The images shows the F4G having a gun in the nose ... did some Wild Weasels have guns in their noses? I thought the nose was all taken up by EW equipment.
Pity they haven't modelled the proper G variant in its looks though yet
The G model has specific avionics so they would need to create it specifically for this model only. Considering the limits of dev time it would make more sense to do a Navy variant.
On the ground the F4 looks kind of ungainly, like it was designed by a focus group of 8 year old boys, once airborne she becomes a beauty though, suddenly the unusual shapes make sense. Who agrees?
Very cinematic, nice!
EPH-Phour Phantom Phorever
All the vids I’m watching of the F4, the missile hit ratio seems to be extraordinary high! Either y’all are REALLY good, or, I dunno…😂
babe wake up. a new GS video
How do i get the Harm on the Phantom?
Yom Kippur war scenario soon?
This is so cool with the F-4 in the Wild Weasel load out.
Thank you GS ❤️
All we need now is the F-4 in the USMC squadron colours ❤️❤️❤️
Great my tinnitus is in game how immersive lol
my teeth felt that beep
Nuclear capable noises 🫣
Sounds like my tinnitus
Sounds like J79's
I hear ya, bro!
@truthseeker9454 what?
@@NXL269 😄
We can have a dogfight with a only gun situation?
Do you have any videos on your current setup?Been wanting to get into DCS
Can you over SAM technology and abilities? I understand MAR and WEZ but Id like to know more about evading SAMs?
How about Argentina attacking the Falklands with its new F16s?
Can you run that F4 off a carrier?
Awesome video 😀
10 f4 videos in the last 10 days?
that looks like fun
65 years of F-4 in 2023
How tf did u already find a way to stick harms on ut
I have a question, how do you get your replay to be so accurate. Because i know theirs an issuie where after a certin time, the reply goes "off center".
specially during long mission videos
I'd shit if they made an F-4G after the J.
F/A-18E/F vs F-35C (Fox-2 fight) would be epic to see! Navy vs Navy : Old vs New
Day 32
already a new video you are really fast
I eat lunch with F16 an F35 pilots from Luke AFB. No one wears aviators.
F 4 in it’s prime again
What tone? #tinnitus 😅
The HARM tone sounds just like the tinnitus that I got when I was in the Navy working around military aircraft.
I just did my VA pension exam for hearing loss and tinnitus yesterday and the Doc told me that high ringing was the sound of patriotism.
I'd give $10,000 just to have one week of beautiful silence.
@@rickb1973nice joke of the doc. He doesnt hear it...
What?
@@jamescdean9010You familiar with the finger rapping trick? It won't give you a week of silence, but a few moments of temporary relief still counts for something.
Basically, you do this: cup both hands against your ears so that your fingers are wrapped around the back of your head. While keeping your hands pressed like this, rap your fingers on both hands against the back of your head rapidly in a wave-like motion (in other words, do "spirit fingers" against the back of your head). It should create a noise like water droplets (only way I can think to describe this) in your ears. Do this for 10-30 seconds, then release your hands from your ears. It should have given you reprieve from tinnitus for about the same amount of time as you did doing this trick. Your tinnitus will slowly come back, but I've found mine seems less noticeable when it does. Regardless, even a moment of silence is bliss for any amount of tinnitus.
The F4 has stolen everyone’s heart in dcs
I know❤
I love the f4❤
I love the Power Glove and the F-4🤘
Thunderchief next.....I hope
Or the Buccaneer ? hmmmmmmmmm
I was a Weasel Keeper with the 37th Tac Fighter Wing at George AFB, and our F-4's had a centerline tank and 4 AGM-88's. The F-4E's couldn't carry AGM-88's. Only the F-4G's could carry AGM-88's. When the F-4G'S were flying over Iraq during Desert Storm, the Iraqis would shut off their SAM sites.
George AFB had all the cool fighter jets stationed there at one time or another.
I was at George from 90-92. I moved to Nellis with the OT&E Det. Was an EW tech. Loved working on the F-4E and G!
the trick with turning off the radar was probably the biggest weakness to the AGM-45, the precursor to the HARM. That problem, as well as many other things were fixed and improved on in the HARM
I was a WCS (radar) fixer in the 35th and 37th TFWs at George, too!!! I was there in the late 70's, early 80's. I would love to see the AGM-78 Standard ARM modelled in DCS. It looked like a telephone pole under the wing when a Weasel was carrying one.
@@greghorine4995 I was at George AFB from 12/86 to 10/88. I was with the 561st AMU, 37th AGS.
For anyone interested in the F-4G I would strongly recommend the crew interviews on the channel Ten Percent True.
Starbaby is one cool dude.
Petition to replace Jester with Starbaby. Sign below.
I've never heard of it but the name is hilarious! 😆
@@a.n.7229 that would be epic
It’s the best fast wing podcast imho. Long, detailed, no fluff. Starbabys video about his Mosul SA-2 kill should be interesting for F4 pilots, regarding workflow.
Just seeing the F-4 in this paint scheme, design, and it's role makes me think of the F-35 as the grandson of such a beautiful plane
Was a bit surprising seeing the first 2 HARMS come off the same wing, was that a result of forcing those missiles on an F4 or is that how the plane functioned?
"F-4 with a Mig-29 kill"
Coughing Baby vs Atomic Bomb, but the Coughing Baby actually wins... _twice_
Really want to see the SEPECAT Jaguar mod in DCS
YESSSSS MORE WILD WEASELING!!!
I enjoy when you take the time to explain some things about why you do the things you do during battle, so thank you!
There was a story floated about an F-4G engaging a B-52 with a HARM. Not sure of the validity, but interesting none the less.
Who was flying the Phantom?
@@BlyGuy US. Supposedly the B-52 activated its tail-gun radar about the time that the Weasel fired the HARM and the HARM bit off on it.
Holy tinnitus Batman
If you ever wanted to know what Tinnitus sounds like... here you go.
F15 Pilot: "Yep, Grandpa got himself two youngin's today!!!! Still got some bite in that gummy mouth!!!!"😝
If they aren’t canonically known as SEAD Glasses, they absolutely should be!
Lmao SEAD aviators. You should be able to toggle on a stogie too
The Phantom is a marvel, especially the one Turkey Modernized.
