Have you thought about 2v2 dogfights in the merge? I think learning about how to cooperate with teammates in high stress environments would be interesting
Agreed. A 2 × 2 engagement where each side has a wingman would be a super-interesting knife fight in a telephone booth. Given the outcome three videos ago with GS flying an F-15 and went up against *two* F-4C's, it’s clear wingmen are important. It would be nice if GS at least addressed in his commentary the likelihood of having a wingman in a given tactical situation.
I know it must be monotonous at times, but I appreciate you constantly sharing the same information (TWS/STT, gaining altitude before launching, speed bleeds missile energy, etc...) in your videos. I have the memory of a goldfish, so that really helps.
This was awesome mate, thanks. I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone explain the Flanker HUD so well before. I've heard references so I knew it displayed the info & I noticed the radar displaying dots to lock. So thanks for filling the gaps, one video at a time ❤
You sure minimized the work that last Fox2 had to do. It didn't even have time to go "okay, where am I? What am I looking for.... Hey look an Eagle! BaM!" Great positioning! Coulda hit it with unguided rockets.
@Michael Harrison By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation.
@Spetsnazovets I recognize that. My point is that the Eagle is particularly bright even considering that, because it's A. Large for a single-seat fighter and B. Has some seriously powerful engines. I mean, this is the bird that sometimes got called the "Flying Tennis Court" because of its size. And it doesn't have considerations for reduced IR signatures because that wasn't really a concern in the 1970s when it was designed.
Hi! Many thanks for your videos! They are really fun and instructive. I want to thank you specifically for all sort of sounds, beeps, dongs, tangs, that came out of the cockpit and you explain to all of us. That’s really interesting!
I love it when BVR fights eventually merge. It ramps up the intensity knowing that the fewer Fox 3's you have, the more and more likely the merge will occur, so when it does happen, the dynamics change completely.. well done!
Really great ‘play-by-play’ GS! Dudes like you who can “Do” … and are willing and gifted at “teaching” … are rare and rightfully become legends in whatever world they inhabit.
#1.The clouds are neat- you should do more dogfights in unusual scenery, like cloudy mountains! #2. YAY, been wondering for EONS when you'd use the IRST systems to try to sneak up on a opponent with out using your radar ! Though you'd want ot be ...in mountains or somewhere where their fighter radar can't see you, and the enemy AWACS is still a problem if you dont have any hypersonic mach 5 extreme range missiles to fling at it..... #3. It's neat seeing you use the flanker at it's max speed- here's hoping we get more max-speed action from you Cough maybe fly a foxbat or foxhound sometime while trying this! cough Solid performance!
Wow, when you give details of the systems inside of an aircraft, the video becomes so much interesting and gripping to watch! I love it when you explain this does that, this means that. Thanks for the hardwork :)
Thanks for all the explanations you include. I've learned a lot from your after action reviews in your older videos and the little bits you include during the fights
Hey GS! How do you know so much about what feels like every jet ever? We’re you a pilot? Or were you ever going to be a pilot? Or do you just know a ton about aviation? I’m relatively new-ish to the channel, I’ve been watching for about 3/4 months now and I love the content. Thank you!
hello, no I was never a pilot I simply know these things from watching docs, learning the aircraft in DCS and also having access to real pilots who were nice enough to teach me what they are allowed to say publicly, and a little bit of trial and error on my own part.
@George B since he hasn't replied yet, you should look at his channel and search for his setup videos, he's done more than one since his setup has been updated over time. The gist of it is either a Thrustmaster or InWin HOTAS from their equivalent competing lines, along with maybe some mounting kit if you don't want to just put your setup on your desk and move your keyboard out of the way. It seems like most people like having their mouse on hand as well too allow interaction with the physical systems in many of the Soviet jets which aren't fully HOTAS compatible anyway, but I also don't play DCS yet myself, nor do I have a HOTAS setup either (kind of the main reason I haven't started, no funds)
Thank you for letting me know about the little LA detail and the within range thing. Always thought that you had to know the missile personally before when knowing which distance to fire at XD.
Loved the video @Growling Sidewinder! Can't wait for the next video man! Day 2 of Asking for 4 F-14 Tomcat's against 4 Su-27 Flanker's over the South Atlantic! It looked like you got the Eagle right in the Center of Mass as well at the end!
As far as I know, what has been made public, the F22 has no electro optical site. The F35 does and it is one of the very few advantages it has over the F22.
First off as usual love this channel. It has become my favorite channel. My thought is on these bvr fights is anyone else amazed at the amount of missiles both planes fire that never get close to the other plane? 6:01 I am at 6:01 and I think they have both fired 2 each. Is that normal in engagements like this? I never knew they would go through that much ordnance to get a kill.
I learned a lot from GS to the point that today, i somehow managed to avoid an F-22 with my Su-27, no bullseye from both party despite me literally slinging those R-77, but it's an achievement being able to escape from such a monster without having to eject =]
I'd love to see the F-15E and EX mods be finalized and used more often. Would definitely be interested in watching 1v1 with full load outs for each. Pretty sure the F-15 can carry something like 20-22 AMRAMMs. And if you had 2v2 with a pusher load and a missile truck load I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be very easy to beat that combo with competent pilots that could really fly the F-15 at her limits.
yes that's true but putting 20 missiles on a jet makes it slow too so the effectivity of each missile would be less when fired. So the bandit would be able to defeat the missile and commit onto you early.
Yours is the kind of build that beginners on DCS do. It's a common pitfall. Loading a jet that much makes defeating missiles really easy and makes you easy prey.
Great fight. These BVR matches between dissimilar but near-equal aircraft usually turn out to be edge-of-the-seat tooth grinders😅. This one was definitely all that.
Love watching these videos. I learn a lot. But after watching so many I feel like you need better competition or you're absolutely the best DCS pilot living.
Another "mission" of a loyal wingman concept would be a "third party" hand off for a Fox-3. It would keep the pit bull mode off while the launch vehicle could notch sooner. The target wouldn't be sure of a missile launch until the absolute last minute. It would also keep an AWACS safer vs. a data link guided missile.
Would be interesting to see the ACMI in this scenario here because you were breaking lock as soon as you fired those 77, at least to see the missile behavior.
Would this variant of the Su-27 be the SM2 or SM3? Considering those are the modernized variants of the Su-27 Flanker. I really enjoy these videos GS because as a kid, I really enjoyed researching military aircraft. My all time favorite was the F-14 Tomcat 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼. Air Combat made me love aviation and wanted to learn more about military aircraft and aircraft in general. Now I'm pretty knowledgeable due to always researching and learning new things. Considering the F-15 is undefeated, it would be a very intriguing scenario to see the Eagle and Flanker collide. Its like to collide, not in U.S or Russian hands, but possibly the countries that have the export versions of these amazing and phenomenal 4th Generation Fighters

Best video thus far.
Can you do the 2 best planes you know against eachother?
F-22 Raptor VS Nine North Korean MIG-29's BVR
NGAD vs F-15 ACTIVE
PLZKTHX!!!
Have you thought about 2v2 dogfights in the merge? I think learning about how to cooperate with teammates in high stress environments would be interesting
I enjoy those the most. Hes got some older 4v4s that were alot of fun to watch too

USA vs. Europe: F-16 & F-18 vs. Eurofighter & Rafale
Great idea
This is a good idea
I really appreciate the little extra information on how the aircraft provides you with data and how you integrate that while planning your attack.
Yes that is really great. Thank you for adding those arrows, too.
I know it must be monotonous at times, but I appreciate you constantly sharing the same information (TWS/STT, gaining altitude before launching, speed bleeds missile energy, etc...) in your videos. I have the memory of a goldfish, so that really helps.
"And hopefully they never will"
Exactly, my friend. Thank you for staying rational in all of your videos!
That was probably my favorite BVR battle you’ve done. Fantastic flying.

Helps that the Eagle is a huge, bright IR source.
the missile never had to do that in the first place because the missile always knows where it is because it knows where it isn't.
@Michael Harrison By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation.

Splash 1 by the last missile in the tightest merge. One of the best GS uploads without doubt.
Hi! Many thanks for your videos! They are really fun and instructive.
I want to thank you specifically for all sort of sounds, beeps, dongs, tangs, that came out of the cockpit and you explain to all of us.
That’s really interesting!
One of the BEST parts of this channel is that you actually teach us
I love it when BVR fights eventually merge. It ramps up the intensity knowing that the fewer Fox 3's you have, the more and more likely the merge will occur, so when it does happen, the dynamics change completely.. well done!
I don’t even play this simulator and love this guys videos. Freakin dope bro
Thank you man, I appreciate the support, much love.
Really great ‘play-by-play’ GS! Dudes like you who can “Do” … and are willing and gifted at “teaching” … are rare and rightfully become legends in whatever world they inhabit.
Thanks for the arrows in the vids showing what your describing. Super helpful for us new DCS users.👍

Solid performance!
Stunningly competitive fight. Most impressive.
What a damn great commentary man, so much time enjoying this videos :D
3:31 Such a beautiful camo on the Flanker
one of ur best videos! this one had it all, the bvr stalemate, the merge, the final cobra kill!
rlly goes to show how evenly matched these two aircraft really are
Wow, when you give details of the systems inside of an aircraft, the video becomes so much interesting and gripping to watch! I love it when you explain this does that, this means that. Thanks for the hardwork :)
So cool seeing the flanker in a BVR fight while having fox-3s.
This was more educational than the how to's for the SU's. Thank you mate. Really helped understanding the capabilities of the aircraft.
Very nice use of the super maneuverability to get that shot. Was cool to see you mention about using speed brake for a one circle fight as well.
GS truly embodies "it's not the plane, it's the pilot". 💯
Thanks for all the explanations you include. I've learned a lot from your after action reviews in your older videos and the little bits you include during the fights

@George B I love the TM16000m flight pack.
Great content as usual. Thanks for the detailed explanation about the HUD. It really helps newcomers like me to understand what is going on
Thank you for letting me know about the little LA detail and the within range thing. Always thought that you had to know the missile personally before when knowing which distance to fire at XD.
You can even override the computer and launch the missile early if you know the parameters.
@@Sublim3Transc3nd3nc3 cool. Didn't know that either.
An amazing vid as always!
Loved the video @Growling Sidewinder! Can't wait for the next video man! Day 2 of Asking for 4 F-14 Tomcat's against 4 Su-27 Flanker's over the South Atlantic! It looked like you got the Eagle right in the Center of Mass as well at the end!
Yes, liking all the extra info / pointers and explanations! Making it harder for me all the time to resist going into DCS!
This brings a tear to my eye. What a beautiful victory!
GS I get so excited every single time I see a new upload. Keep it up
explaining these HUD informations was a nice upgrade for your video today :) ty
Really cool vid, super awesome to see a fight develop from BVR to dogfight, normally we just get one or the other
My Mrs got me an hour in an F16 simulator- with instructor, as a Christmas gift.
Hopefully i can use some of what i have learned om this channel.
The F 15 eagle is and always will be my favorite fighter jet!!!!
As far as I know, what has been made public, the F22 has no electro optical site. The F35 does and it is one of the very few advantages it has over the F22.
I dont think the F-22 has an EO system, but F-35 does. F-35 has EOTS which you can see under the chin.
Thats where cobra is op....
great to see an opponent who clearly understands how to fight BVR take you all the way from BVR to the dogfight!
Good stuff as per usual from you. Love the content.
Great commentary GS, slowly filling in the blanks for me.👍🏻
Hey man. Do some more videos of Flankers. Specially of Su-35. Would be great!
Your videos teach me a lot about modern planes, I love your videos GS
It's kinda amazing, how this looks less like an action movie and more like a game of chess.
First off as usual love this channel. It has become my favorite channel.

its like smartest kid vs smartest kid
What a great video. Fantastic flying from both.
This is one of the best BVR fights I have ever seen
Oh wow i didn't know there's sunshade mode for the HUD. I know its just a small thing but i never knew this. Thanks for showing this.
Your channel is wonderful.
The Su-27 starting to become one of my favs
I love the bvr to dogfight transitions
Your videos where you BVR and make it to the merge are some of the best
That was good, long and intense. Nice video
Great job and you see cobra is working but time should be right for that. Thanks again GS for video
I'd love to see the F-15E and EX mods be finalized and used more often. Would definitely be interested in watching 1v1 with full load outs for each.

That last missile on the -F15 had me! I fist pumped yeah !!
That was a lot of work!
Great video
This was one gooood show my dude
Great fight. These BVR matches between dissimilar but near-equal aircraft usually turn out to be edge-of-the-seat tooth grinders😅. This one was definitely all that.
It is not the f-22 with the electro-optical sensor, it is the f-35 that has it
BVR is like a chessmatch with throwing knives under a blindfold. Nice fighting.
"Literally in every way it's better to be fast in BVR..." *makes sad F/A18 notching noises*
I've always loved Su-27 and Mig-29
You should do an Helicopter Dogfight!
Love watching these videos. I learn a lot. But after watching so many I feel like you need better competition or you're absolutely the best DCS pilot living.
These videos are the layer cake of DCS dogfighting videos. Love how everything is brokendown. I actually learn a lot each time.
Great fight, I got nervous in the end! Haha
I love how the BVR fight turned into a merge.
Next video: Su-34 vs. Russian apartment building.
😂
Or we could always replay "MV-22B Osprey crash kills US marines" to get bonus points.
How about Boeing 767 vs. some skyscrapers
@@АндрейПопов-с4с More bonus points to watch a replay of the sinking of Moskva.
@@Chuck_Hooks That's not a plane, buddy.
Love the BVR stuff, keep it up. :)
i think an A-10 vs Su-25 dogfight but both planes get HMDs and high off boresights fox2s would be interesting
Great fight! And the Cobra did make a difference.
Another "mission" of a loyal wingman concept would be a "third party" hand off for a Fox-3. It would keep the pit bull mode off while the launch vehicle could notch sooner. The target wouldn't be sure of a missile launch until the absolute last minute. It would also keep an AWACS safer vs. a data link guided missile.
I so wish i had the patience to really learn DCs and friends to have fun in DCS cause this stuff is so cool
This was super enjoyable, i like it when non-american planes are flown (and win) for a change... Here's hoping you give the Gripen a try someday
The optical system came handy indeed its the first time to see that very nice
Su27 and F15 : Intense air acrobatics *FLARES* missiles
AWAC1 : So nice weather right ?
AWAC2 : Radar forecast says missiles raining
Props from a russian german keep up ur work❤️
Saw a F-22 doing aerobatics above my house and immediately went to see if GS dropped a new banger ❤
This is as intense as it can get!!!
Love ur vids bro nice job
Very exciting! Well done!
Amazing vid dude!
The Dance of Death :) is really close ranged.
Strange to see a A-50 not on fire or crashing. Times have changed!
Would be interesting to see the ACMI in this scenario here because you were breaking lock as soon as you fired those 77, at least to see the missile behavior.
Great video, great informations, great bird and thanks to F15 pilot too. Thanks guys!
Very nice and very tight fight.👏👏👍

Not the SM3. Because it carries only 6 Fox 3s.
F-15E or EX with AESA radar vs Su-35 would be interesting. They are very solid 4.5 fighters
Nah this DCS models the Su27S which is the 80s early version of the Flanker. I would kill for someone to model a more modern one.
I dont know why I always root for the Su-27. Must be because I think it is one of the best looking fighters ever made.
would love to see you in more redfor planes, great video!
Such a satisfying fight!
hell of a fight. nice video!
