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, JF-17, Su-27, Mig-29, Mirage and the F-18 Hornet along with many other aircraft and helicopters like the Ka-50 and Mi-8. - Ігри

If anyone is wondering why I'm flaring in a guns only fight, its just good practice to flare whenever you can identify that you inside of an IR wez (weapon employment zone), thanks for watching guys and I'll see you in the next one, Much Love.
Thanks again GS, Loving your videos.
The same fight pakistan vs india
Thanks GS. Can you help me out and throw some knowledge at us?
1. You've shown the F-16 is an amazing two-circle fighter. Which other jet is the best "pure" two-circle opponent?
2. Is there an equivalent jet for the one-circle (giving you the same feeling as the F-16 but one-circle)?
was literally typing this question when i saw the pinned comment, cause i were confuzzeled ;-)
GS, Perhaps you get this one a lot…but is the F22 the best dogfighter period, end of story, if the pilot is the most skilled? Rephrased, which plane is the very best of all? I’m thinking F22.
man, the iq in this duel is on full display. It's such a great tactical tutorial! The instruction along with the technical skill makes these videos so advantageous to anyone picking up or expanding on their DCS time.
Nice! Btw, that's _Perseus_ squadron, not Pegasus. Fittingly enough, it's one of two squadrons in the HAF that fly the block 50. The rest fly either block 52/72 or block 30.
Greetings from Belgrade Greek brother! :) Was on Crete 2 years ago and saw F-16's flying wild. One took off right as we were getting off our flight... it was magnificent. Hoping to see some Raffale's next time I come, though as far as I know they're stationed near Athens...
The Rafale is such a beautiful plane, very French.
We want RAFALE official module !!!

@@Mike_Romeo he did a vid with the F35C in the past an recently made a video with the F/A-18F in it
I might be working on something LIKE this but it might take some time running into some technical issues at the present time.
@@GrowlingSidewinder take all the time in the world 👍🏻😁
LOVE the commentary during the fight. Really learn something that would otherwise go unnoticed without it.
Another great vid.
The Rafale has to be the most under-rated fighter out there.
F16 is underrated too
@@navyseal1689 no
Because it's French. If it was American it would be a best seller.
I mean. It also got our-rated so...
Eurofighter, Gripen and Rafale all seem to not get the respect they deserve. It’s crazy that people are thinking of replacing Typhoons with the F-35 pretty much just because of stealth and electronics
It would be great if you actually fly the Rafale
I second this
I would love that as well.
He never fly the Rafale all this time. I wonder why
@@jordanaria2035 He never fly russian planes too, pro american i guess
@@navyseal1689 He flew Su 27, 35 and 57. He flew Mig 29 but that wasn’t exactly a dogfight video
Good video.
Was very surprised you allowed the Rafale to get such a good position on you in fight #1 - that two circle positioning should have been a strong queue for you to change altitude immediately, that was probably the only thing that could have saved you from being hit.
Love the Rafale videos. Keep em coming!!
I love your videos!! I've learned so much on how to fly the Viper from watching you. awesome work and also great sportsmanship! Keep it up, brother!!
ahhh the consistent uploads really do make my day.... GODSPEED!
Nice fights. However, I am not sure how many actual F-16 pilots can sustain turning continuously between 6.5 and 9.4 Gs for 45 to 60 seconds at a time, to outrate the Rafale.
Aye that looks like the main weakness of DCS and simulators in general to me. They don't punish and simulate the strain of high G quite as much as real life would
Great video, I dont know what you are doing but I keep getting sucked into your videos! One minute I’m just checking out a module and the next I’m going through all your videos haha, keep up the good work you are awesome
Knowing the limitations and energy management, great tutorial.
Growling Sidewinder I wish you here back in IL2 early days to teach me one and two circle fights, I had 2 squad mates who where both fantastic natural dogfighters (with insane kill death ratios) who intimately understood turning fights in their bones, neither had a great way to describe it. You do, a masterclass in technique and communication to us mortals
GS, as long as I remember you have made many videos with many great aircraft but barely few if any flying the Rafale.
So please show the Rafale some love and drop some videos with you in the Rafale. Rafale vs F-16 with you on the Rafale would be a great starting point.
YESS FINALLY GREECE🇬🇷🇬🇷
he has done many videos using Greek liveries.
We see a lot of awesome videos of you in the F-16 against strong 1 circle bandits demonstrating how to force the 2 circle and then use the strengths of that jet to dominate the fight. I would love to see you do something similar for the F/A-18 or SU-27 on how to force the 1 circle to counter the strengths or the F-16 and other strong 2 circle jets. Obviously one way is to just bring Fox-2s so they have to stay 1 circle to jam the WEZ but it would be interesting to see how it can be done with guns only as well.
Alternatively would be interesting to see how the F-16 does in more Fox-2 merges. I'm sure the high off bore helmet sight gives it an advantage there too but maybe hurt by the fact that it has to jam the WEZ and can't ditch into the 2circle as easily?
Excellent video GS! Love the "fatality" when you kill the pilot. 😉😀
@Growling Sidewinder can we have a "Bandit Unknown" where *YOU* fly the Rafale?
Nice, I love watching the F16 do what it does best. I wonder if when it was designed the older aim-9's still required you to maneuver to your opponents six to get the best shot. As you have demonstrated its not the same with the HOB fox 2's . Anyway great videos as always
You're correct, when it was designed rear-aspect AIM-9s were still standard though by the time it entered service the all-aspect versions were taking over.
re - 6:26 "I personally think it's easier to force a 2-circle fight than a 1-circle fight."
Dude, I asked that question so many times when I first started watching these videos and no one here ever answered which was easier to force. I feel so much better now...
It's easier to force 2-circle... in a guns-only environment. With Fox-2's, 1-circle to jam the WEZ is far more prevalent.
As zanaduz points out, a fox 2 fight its a different animal There it's easier/more advantageous to be a good 1 circle fighter as it will allow you to quickly cash all your energy for a quicker fox 2 shot (in the Hobs era at least ).
So awesome, the way you can "read" your opposing aircraft!
Just watched one of your videos that wasn’t watched yet. And it’s about modern equipment and right after started complaining to myself. What a shame there isn’t more videos on his Chanel. Bang now there is :D
Love to see the viper still being strong, man! Designed to be the best dogfighter indeed. Also what a beautiful aircraft, I mean look at these curves!
awesome as always. Would love to see some 1 circle
Love your videos, I would love to see more anti two circle tactics since stiff arming someone into the two circle regime seems to be so prevalent.
Nice video! But I really love those fx2 fights
Great stuff. Watching these vids make me want to get a computer and DCS.
Excellent fight. Great showcase for the Viper.
"Allons enfants de la patrie le jour de gloire est arrivé!!!"
---- French National Anthem ---
As a greek,I aprove!
Nice shooting GS. Both pilots were excellent.
I love these comparison videos. You have really found your place in the DCS UA-cam sphere.
I just hope one of these days you’ll call an ejection riding the Yeet Seat for a video.
Can we get a WW1 blimp vs blimp pistol fight? That would be fantastic.
With differential thrust of course 🤣
Great idea
This stuff is so cool. I would love it if you could at some point show some basic transition moves on how to try and force a one circle. I know you have done it multiple times but I still cant quite grasp the concept :D
He forced 2 circle by always following the opponent's tail, and you go for 1 circle by doing the opposite: pulling across and into them. You try to make it nose-to-nose instead of nose-to-tail.
@@ltstaffel5323 yeah, but if I reverse i to his nose he will gun me down 🤣
This was great. And interesting. I read a series of SI FI books called "Fear the Sky" Really good. Nothing actually to do with flying but at one point 2 humanoid aliens got into a dog fight with one another. One in an F16 and one in the Rafale. The writer favored the Rafale.
The fatality clip was perfect!
round 2 was an absolute joy to watch
Great video / walk through .
Do you think you'll do more mission and cinematic type stuff again? I love all your vids but I found you from the F-18 carrier missions and loved that stuff! I imagine it's a lot of work to make stuff like that, I just miss the carrier takeoffs and landings with the mission brief and stuff!
Would love to see you flying the Rafale !
I have a suggestion you might find downright fun to do,
I suggest you Dogfight the Polikarpov I-16 vs the Chengdu J-10, and Su-57 vs the J-20
Love the explanation and of course the fatality view.
I remember at Eglin AFB when I was a kid, the New f16s in late 70s flying! Yes Im older lol
Its usually GS getting pilot sniped in the cockpit. I'm not sure if I can get used to this sudden reversal in content. Great content as always.
Really had it out for the pilot today!
A10 vs Harrier please!
Omg the Mortal Kombat reference was AWESOME!!!!!
Would interesting to see fox-2 rounds and see how these fights change with the same fighters
Good watch, thanks!
When you see an F-16 with those vortices, you know you're a dead man, I don't care what you're flying.
That fatality sound man 😅😂😂😂
I'm interested if fighters with high thrust/weight ratio(EF-2000, F-22, Su-57, J-20) can use high yo-yo to "win" two circle with F-16(if I remember normally at least first two struggled to)
Rafael was my go to plane for ace combat 6 and 7 s ranking levels was so much fun in it I'd love to see you fly it next time
"...Like a python tightening around him... I LOVE that, man!"
lol ;-)
Hoser himself would've been proud of you on that cockpit shot coming downhill.
GS turned that M61 Vulcan into a sniper riffle
@growling you don't play the rafale very often (or maybe never played?) can you defeat a Viper with a Rafale in the dogfight, gun only? A Gripen and a Typhon as well with a Rafale?
YES! finally some Rafale action, this makes me even prouder of my country 😍
Also Greece has f16 and rafales
I would love for your to either do a series or a set of rounds in which you do the same planes in guns only, fox 2, and bvr so we can get a full comparison.
Great video as always, how about giving Rafale vs J-10C a try?
Dassault Rafale Vs Euro Fighter
Any chance of getting the Rafael pilot back on to dogfight now that you've had even more experience?
It would be lovely if you were flying the rafale. Im sure there s a lot to do with this plane in dogfight
Christ I remember the first appearance of the Rafale, and it was a beast.... but god damn the F-16 is a monster.
Man I thought you were going to plow that farmers field for him a couple of times lol.
I think I'd pay to see you fly in an actual f-16 military simulator. You put on a clinic today.
That was a clinic, GS. 👊💪
🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
Growling Sidewinder could you please do more videos where you fly the F-35 and the Eurofighter Typhoon? Love your videos. Cheers!
Growing up, I never liked the F-16. I was always an F-14/15 fan (hundreds of models). I am becoming a fan of the F-16 because of you. I just never understood it. Now I get it.
That lawn dart is still a beauty 50 years later. Awesome watching that little thing wipe the floor with all the big boys
a delta wing lawn dart. The F-16 is such a formidable fighter for how small it is, it's such an agile little plane with some serious fangs.
Man is always learning dcs, in previous vids got killed for not jinking even though you thought it was short. Here you jink every time.
AS ALWAYS.... ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!!!!
it would be Very Nice to see some BVR fights with the rafale !
Ho-ly damn this was a tight fight! One realization i had that blew me away is that even though the F-16 is a rate fighter and the Rafale is a radius fighter, they are still both delta wings, main difference i notice is of course the stabilatora on the F-16... could that be the key to its 2-circle dominance?
The F-16 is not a delta-wing and not classified as such. The F-16XL on the other hand is/was one. And an impressive one to say the least if you look it up.
How does the F-16 do in a HOBS fight? Given it's not dominant in a one-circle fight, is it still competitive in modern fox-2 dogfights?
The clouds are looking very good.
Can’t believe it’s been two years since you versed ATE let’s see him in Rafale vs you in a raptor guns only.
PLEASE fly The Rafale VS Typhoon!🙏
T-45 Goshawk VS F-14 Tomcat Test Fight!
J-7 VS MIG-21
J-10 VS SU-27
MB-339 Aermacchi VS AJS-37 Viggen
Mosquito VS Pucara
Please fly Planes on the left!🙏
I noticed G effects are turned off. Question is, can you pull that many Gs and stay concious of will you eventually pass out?
Ya I mean F16 pilots train to maintain 9g for a minimum of 30 seconds and many of them can do a lot more than that.
The haf f16 livery looks dope
I would really like to see this matchup again but this time it's a hobs fight, I think the Rafale would do a lot better in that situation (and was probably more designed for that than gun dogfights like the f-16 was)
What is a hobs fight?
@@o0KillerWolf0o I think its high off boresight
F16 is like taking on a professional knife fighter in a phone booth..
I’d love to have a "special" round at the end in wich the underdog/looser has to use a wanky strategy/advantage to win. Or the superior could get a disadvantage.
Attempt 10! Anniversary one!
Could you please show us ground strafes with different weapon setups from ground perspective? We all know how A10 Brrrt sounds from the ground and looks on target, some even know that for Viper's 20mm, but I really wonder how a 37 mm, 6 x 50 cal., 23 mm MiG-21 and 30 mm MiG-29 long strafes would look and sound on target!
Also, could you please bring out the flying lol machine I-16 against the F-22?
Do you have a video explaining and showing all of the different terminology?
Good fight GS!🥊🥊
Hellenic air force has also the rafale, right now has 6 aircrafts and awaits for another 18.
Gorgeous plane, the Rafale.
Shouldnt he have an advantage in vertical beeing a two engine aircraft? Doesnt he have a thrust to weight ratio advantage?
I have a video request. My uncles flew an F-4 and a F-111. Unfortunately they both died in separate training accidents before I was born. Major Bob Rudiger's F-111 crashed on the Isle of Sky; years before his brother Jack's F-4 crashed in Spain. I was wondering if you could do some kind of a joint strike mission with an F-4 and an F-111 so I could see how these jets would be utilized?
Great Video as always
I think you already tried all but SU-34 ? Would you please do that .
hitting at the cockpit is like getting a headshot of the aircraft.
Hey growler as an ace combat player is there any type of "post stall" maneuvers in dcs or something similar to that?
What are post stall maneuvers ?
i'm curious if it was ATE's in the rafale, how the fight would end it would be interesting to see that in another video
Just wondering. Aren't 2 circle fighters at a disadvantage in the modern era since everyone has HOBS Fox-2s?
true dat
ya but they have options with the counter hobs stuff, they're not fully out of the fight, but ya probably at a disadvantage in today's environment.
