A few years ago I lost a girlfriend because I watched too much Dogfights (TV series) on History Channel. Your flying on DCS is way higher level to watch. Love it! ... Bravo!
@@thiagorodrigues5211 doubtful that she actually did. if it was because he "watched too much dogfights", then it's either because he was absolutely obsessed with it, or could also just possibly have been a symptom of a general neglect he had of her and she was tired of not feeling like she mattered to him 🤔
1:03 where you listed your loadout...it is remarkable the amount of ordnance such a relatively small aicraft can carry. I understand that it would be impossible for it to win a dogfight weighed down with the bombs and all, but it's also a good BVR aircraft and can legitimately rely on that as well.
It depends what you're dogfighting. He was still pretty heavy when he went toe to toe with the MiG 21, but still scored an easy kill. Should never use the word 'impossible' in such a context.
As a run qualified F-16 engine mechanic, I run a test of the warning lights as well and the Bitching Betty for every maintenance run. I am shocked how accurate they made her voice sound in this game, it's absolutely spot on! I'm curious if General Dynamics provided the sound files for the game.
Kinda sad (for them) that the almost suicidal sacrifice of the first 2 MIG-29s was all for nought despite the clever ambush of the 3rd MIG-29. I guess that's just what happens when you mess with a Viper... GREAT mission - Thanks, GS! 👋👋👋
This is the first video I’ve been able to catch within an hour of release. And as an infantryman who is headed to Korea some time next year this is very comforting to know what even just one lone f-16 could do let alone all the other air power the US has over there already.
Don't forget the SKs. They have F-16s and F-15s too, with F-4s and F-5s as backup and even a few F-35s that will soon be joined by their own indigenous KF-21s.

When GS was describing the F-16 load out that included “a tank”, my first thought: “wow the F-16 can carry all sorts of weapons”. Obviously it’s a drop tank, but I thought it was a tank with tracks. 😅
Mission Planner: We need to execute an anti-air mission, strike an enemy SAM sites, and destroy an enemy ballistic missile site. GS: I got it. Mission Planner: Which part? GS: All of it.
The Viper is hands down my favorite fighter, growing up in the shadow of Hill AFB and watching them fly over daily probably has a lot to do with that but god damn that’s a sexy aircraft
Hey man, been watching your videos for a long time - but never even played DCS. I've always loved aircraft and mil sims. I finally got DCS - and have a decent HOTAS on the way. I'm absolutely in love with it. I went with the F18C as my first aircraft, and plan on getting the F16 or F15 next. Just from watching your content, I came into the game with a decent amount of knowledge. Obviously this game has a GIANT learning curve. But once you break everything down into its own specific system and learn those - you're good to go. Still a lot of learning, but man am I having a blast. Anyways, I love your content. Sucks I missed out on the sale you had for the Flaming Cliffs sometime last year - but at this point I'm not even mad about it. Appreciate the work you do for us!!
Generally speaking radar receiver senses the locking radar for radar guided missiles. IR guided missiles may be detected by IR/UV optical sensor that looks for the missile rocket flame.
@@joman2334There's a difference between radar waves used for scanning and tracking and guiding the missile, so that's how the system tells the difference
It's nice to see you engage ground targets for a change. I'd like to see more missions like this. And learn about the challenges that you encounter while engaging such targets.
One F16? What was it a Sunday and the rest of the guys took the day off? Or the mission was actually scheduled for the next day you showed up early and they figured well he's here, might as well do it. Great videos love them. I would like to see one between the sea harrier and the yak 38.
Ngl the air strike part felt more dangerous than the dogfighting. So much things happening at the same time, im not surprised why some nations are relegating hostile ground targets to unmanned drones
It's amazing. Ukraine's MiG-29s look like works of art with that digital camo, and the NK MiG-29s look like they should still be fighting in the 1950s.
Absolutely brilliant, have to wonder how many times you did this to achieve this result? Love your channel GS, educational and entertaining all while demonstrating amazing skills.
Such a shame that the Mig-29s are never really going to see the kind of electronics upgrades that could make them truly formidable fighter/attack aircraft in the present day. Sure there's the Mig-35, but Russia isn't putting those into production any time soon.
My grandfather was a bombardier for the USAAC, 256th Bomb Group. He gave me a piece of flak he picked up over Italy. He said it came through his cabin and bounced around before landing in his lap. Its not what I expected it to look like.
It's actually amazing how close you get to them after they have already launched a missile at you before you launch on them. I don't understand how you can defend that fast all the time!!!
You said in the merge with the mig-21 that you only had guns, but you also had the 2,000lb ordinance. I've seen you do crazier things that hitting a mig with an unguided bomb. That would be a cake walk for ya hahaha
An aircraft like the F-16 with a limited ordinance package screams for the "loyal wingman" project. Or as I call it "the off platform weapons carrier". I can only think of one other MiG air to air fighter that would be worse than a -21, and that would be a MiG-23 "Flogger".
Excellent mastery on an F-16. 39th suggestion time for the MiG-29 (4 archers 2 r-77) vs Su-57 Felon BVR/Dogfight combat scenario for pilot skills gameplay GS.
You do realize all those migs were being flown by the supreme leader remotely while he shot trap in the back lawn of the supreme leaders palace, The clay pidgeons were being hand thrown by south korean dissidents. Hes so benevolent he allowed you to win to show the peasants how merciful he is.
Just seeing this. Before I clicked I thought “if GS is in the F-16” I am 100% sure of the outcome. Then I thought “if GS is in the Mig I am 100% sure of the outcome”. Lol.
That poor MiG-21 should have been in a museum somewhere. But, four up, four down, four chutes. I usually like to see the adversary hit silk, but it didn't matter with NK, as I see them as evil.
Because he was too high and he is outranged by the amraam therefore he had to basically commit suicide to get it into good range to hit the target. So he was high and way too close and therefore died.
@@GrowlingSidewinder Yea seeing those museum worthy early versions of MiG-29 equipped with only R-27 and R-60 being splashed is a little bit heartbreaking for MiG lovers lol. I really enjoyed and missed your videos in MiG-29s and hope to see more of them in the future haha
It would be cool if you had a call sign and squad # like Cobra as your call sign becuase its your UA-cam Icon and maybe have like Venom One as your squad #.
Sad to see those early MiG-29s being sent to fight a modern F-16 with only R-27 and R-60s, probably would got the kill there in the dogfight if it was equipped with R-73, also they will be able to at least defend after shot with R-77s

Day-20 Asking GS to dogfight F-14 Wings retracted only
Still think a low visibility storm dogfight would be sick
Like the F-14 with modern weapons vs Su-35 video, but the F-14+Meteor/AIM-260/AIM-9x vs an Su-57 with only Fox-2s+Guns.
f 22 vs everything in dogfight
A few years ago I lost a girlfriend because I watched too much Dogfights (TV series) on History Channel. Your flying on DCS is way higher level to watch. Love it! ... Bravo!

damn bro
Why would your girlfriend dump you over something you watch?
That’s some bullshit lmao

I really enjoy the mission videos more than the dogfights. I think it shows off the plane capabilities more. Fun to watch both, but I prefer these!
Agreed 👍🏾
F-16: Nothing like punching downwards.
KPAF Mig: What’s that beyond the hori-(DEAD).

Should never use the word 'impossible' in such a context.
@@Aquascape_Dreaming being a much newer and superior aircraft as well as pilot skill difference does help
Great display of the multirole capability of the Viper, from BVR to a dogfight, straight into SEAD and then striking a target. Chef's kiss.
bro really did a mission that would be allocated to an entire squadron by himself
As a run qualified F-16 engine mechanic, I run a test of the warning lights as well and the Bitching Betty for every maintenance run. I am shocked how accurate they made her voice sound in this game, it's absolutely spot on! I'm curious if General Dynamics provided the sound files for the game.
Hah I've never heard that name for her before that's hilarious
"Shut it Betty"
The UK has the "Nagging Nora"@@Rakshael
I mean there's so much audio of her out there, it would be pretty easy to just get a few videos together and grab the audio from them.
Kinda sad (for them) that the almost suicidal sacrifice of the first 2 MIG-29s was all for nought despite the clever ambush of the 3rd MIG-29. I guess that's just what happens when you mess with a Viper...
GREAT mission - Thanks, GS! 👋👋👋
GS could be in a sopwith camel and it would be an unfair fight... For them.
@@Eluderatnight Heard he's planning on flying a Gypsy Moth bi-plane trainer against an F-22, so yeah...
loving these sort of mission based videos. Also a big fan of yesterday's, would love to see some more Skyhawk stuff.
This is the first video I’ve been able to catch within an hour of release. And as an infantryman who is headed to Korea some time next year this is very comforting to know what even just one lone f-16 could do let alone all the other air power the US has over there already.
A usaf paper airplane is more dangerous than anything north korea has to offer
Don't forget the SKs. They have F-16s and F-15s too, with F-4s and F-5s as backup and even a few F-35s that will soon be joined by their own indigenous KF-21s.
North Korean pilots average < 10 hours of practice a year. They could have F22s and still be demolished.
@@elijah_9392 can they even safely fly the aircraft (aka not self maneuver kill) with that few flight hours?
@@r2020E they can take off and land and probably navigate, but can they run missions and be mission capable? Probably not really.
You’re a massive inspiration you helped me get into fighter jets and I want to be a fighter pilot one day thx for helping alot😊

Day-20 Asking GS to dogfight F-14 Wings retracted only
I don't think the Tomcat can stand the Gs
Not how that works lmao
It could actually be a good opponent for the f16, with all that speed the f14 could do something against the viper
Please ignore this GS.
Why lol
80% of the way to ace and the destruction of enemy air defence with HARMS in one day?
Gonna get a medal, sir.
When GS was describing the F-16 load out that included “a tank”, my first thought: “wow the F-16 can carry all sorts of weapons”. Obviously it’s a drop tank, but I thought it was a tank with tracks. 😅
That would make for one hell of a combat insertion.
I tell ya what, Kim’s not gonna be too happy about his green machines being destroyed 🫣😅👏🏾
I feel soooo much better about myself and my flying after the gun miss on the Mig-21. Great stuff bro
Mission Planner: We need to execute an anti-air mission, strike an enemy SAM sites, and destroy an enemy ballistic missile site.
GS: I got it.
Mission Planner: Which part?
GS: All of it.
Great video....That' was a whole lot of mission for a single F-16. The only thing this video was missing was Chappy Sinclair!
Once again, the F-16 living up to that multi-role.
BVR, Dogfight, refuelling, and Ground Attack. This one has it all
It’s crazy to see how much “Harm” an F-16 can do!
More missions like this please… got me hooked more than the dogfights
BVR, Dog fight, refuel, and ground run !!! Man GS you are pulling out all the stops.
Great video
The Viper is hands down my favorite fighter, growing up in the shadow of Hill AFB and watching them fly over daily probably has a lot to do with that but god damn that’s a sexy aircraft
Big Sky, Little Bullet theory goes a little sideways when the air is drenched in bullets.
Sir you are ruthless in the Viper, great video. Thanks for posting it.
These mission videos are super entertaining! DCS popcorn time!
Hey man, been watching your videos for a long time - but never even played DCS. I've always loved aircraft and mil sims. I finally got DCS - and have a decent HOTAS on the way. I'm absolutely in love with it. I went with the F18C as my first aircraft, and plan on getting the F16 or F15 next. Just from watching your content, I came into the game with a decent amount of knowledge. Obviously this game has a GIANT learning curve.

hey man, great content, you really helped me learn about planes, i really appreciate it :)
I sure appriciate your vids! Any chance of a live stream Q and A. You are a wealth of knowledge and we are fortunate to have you share with us!
That F-16 camo is gorgeous.
Loved the Vid, would not have minded to spend more time on the refueling etc but still brilliant!
I love watching these ariel missions against North Korean targets.
With what kind of sensors does the Airplane recognize if a missile is locked onto him?
Generally speaking radar receiver senses the locking radar for radar guided missiles. IR guided missiles may be detected by IR/UV optical sensor that looks for the missile rocket flame.
@@MrMulleteer Thanks! It‘s just crazy how accurate these things are over such a long distance
@@joman2334There's a difference between radar waves used for scanning and tracking and guiding the missile, so that's how the system tells the difference
Rwr for radar
Maws for missile detection via uv/ir
Two 2000-pounders, two HARMs, three AMRAMs, a 9X, and external fuel? Jeez? Talk about being loaded for bear?
The North Korean MiG 29s are such a pretty combination of green and sky blue camo, it seems a shame to splash them.
Can you do more missions showing the multirole of the f18?
We also need some Jeff content :)
It's nice to see you engage ground targets for a change. I'd like to see more missions like this. And learn about the challenges that you encounter while engaging such targets.
Imagine being the Mig21 pilot. “Sir he single-handedly took down half our fleet of Mig29s…what do you want me to do?”
Everytime a missile is launched I hear “YEEEEET”
SO much AAA, lol. Like in Forest Gump "There was all kinds of rain, even upside down rain" @16:07 exterior shot, wtf! the golden BB.
One F16? What was it a Sunday and the rest of the guys took the day off?
Or the mission was actually scheduled for the next day you showed up early and they figured well he's here, might as well do it.

really interesting to see this type of video, love the long range fights
Theres just something about the Viper that makes it so beautiful, Its just so aesthetic
Supreme! Amazing flight! So you flying the F22 is a cheat code in this Sim.
It's amazing. Ukraine's MiG-29s look like works of art with that digital camo, and the NK MiG-29s look like they should still be fighting in the 1950s.
Yea . NK is so messed up.@@logicplague
I'd like to see a U.S base on the defensive vs an adversary. With some close air support scrambled to defend.
Absolutely brilliant, have to wonder how many times you did this to achieve this result? Love your channel GS, educational and entertaining all while demonstrating amazing skills.
You'd be one of the most famous pilots alive if you pulled this off.
Only GS could get the 6 of a MiG-21 in an F-16, and miss at point-blank... Never changed GS, never change.
F16 cockpit is so clean and open. Love that jet so much.
Such a shame that the Mig-29s are never really going to see the kind of electronics upgrades that could make them truly formidable fighter/attack aircraft in the present day. Sure there's the Mig-35, but Russia isn't putting those into production any time soon.

The best growling sidewinder video by far imo.
It'd be cool to see some videos with you flying the MiG-29.
Again, 2x500kg of TNT dropped on a target and the small tents / trucks right beside it are just chilling. ED pls fix
your gardian angel had to fly with you the whole way and had his hands full of work :D
Very nice video! Can you provied the Mission for us?
Just seeing this. Before I clicked I thought “if GS is in the F-16” I am 100% sure of the outcome. Then I thought “if GS is in the Mig I am 100% sure of the outcome”. Lol.

I don’t get why the first MiG didn’t defend earlier. Seems way too easy for these kills here
Same here, I guess that those MiG only having R-27 is probably the only excuse here.
Because he was too high and he is outranged by the amraam therefore he had to basically commit suicide to get it into good range to hit the target. So he was high and way too close and therefore died.
