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.

As a new DCS pilot (and Hornet driver), the detailed explanations of what you're doing with the radar are unbelievably helpful!
He has an old video from about 4 years ago that goes in depth on the FA 18 Radar. Its a little dated, but its still the best one. It shows you how to save different settings for each weapon type. Theyve added a couple of features since then, but he gives you enough info to get you going
AFTER 77 DAYS HE FINALLY CHOSE ME THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH GS!!!!!!!!
Comedic editing with the "this amraam better make me proud" *cut to amraam nopeing out of the fight* well done!
GS: My amraam better make me proud
The amraam : 🤪
I kind of miss the tactical view in the end. I'd like to see the Flanker's defending maneuvers. It felt as if the Flanker was constantly on the offensive.
😂❤
@11:50 to the end
I love how honest this guy is. No need to allow your ego to play any part in a fair fight. THUMBS UP!
I have a feeling that was not the merge you wanted
That was intense! The Flanker pilot did a wonderful job in lofting these improved R-77 missiles from higher altitude. Did not see that result coming. Rematch in the future?
GS: That AMRAAM better make me proud
AMRAAM: Na bro not today
5:47 "It's good news and bad news, kids... Yes, your mamma was just clobbered by fuel tank, but on the other hand we've got a free 5 year supply of kerosene, and I'm gonna make two brand new canoes!"
Always interesting to see the missile's perspective, those things are flying like a maniac. And they don't care they're out of fuel, they just chase their target, that's all they do. Kinda like the Terminator.
Wow. Half an hour after the video was posted??!!
The is the perfect opportunity to make a request:
Hi GS! Can we please see you do some Mig-25 stuff? A Foxbat vs anything would be fun!!
Thanks for making the videos your people ask for, always a pleasure to watch your vids mate
Still on day 80 of F35 Vs SU57 :(
Idea for a more playful video: Can you kill a bandit by tactically yeeting your drop tanks at them?
It really is good to see FC3 aircraft going up against full fidelity modules and pushing them to the limit (or hitting them in a face with an R-77-1)!
More famous last words for your next Famous Last Words video... love this stuff! It builds greater appreciation for the pilots who've tested their sphincters for our freedom since the dawn of aerial warfare.
That was one expensive lawn dart.
"That amraam better make me proud
My amraam hits the ground..."
Such a poetry
That was an unexpected finale.
"That AMRAAM better make me proud."
AMRAAM: "Look daddy, I'm flying. Oohhh."
In DCS, I don't know how much of a difference there is between the Charlie Hornet and the Echo Hornet, but I'd like to see a Super Hornet vs. A Su-27.
Lol...the comedic timing on the performance of that AMRAAM was pure gold. 😂
'That AAMRAM better make my proud'
The aamram- Holy crap is that a PENNY!?
5:53 - I can imagine a guy coming home after a long day at work and sitting down for dinner with his family. Table set, food on the table, Wife and kids are seated. Holding hands and saying Grace before they eat and this fuel tank just crashes right in through the front window or roof of the house and crushes their dinner table.
Looks like the Jones's are eating good tonight!
So... Setting the radar to sweep through 40 degrees, does that mean that cranking to the gimbal limit of the radar is going to be harder, because you only have that 40 degree window? Or does that only affect the detection of the bandit, while maintaining a lock on the bandit retains the whole 120 degree radar sweep?
I THINK that the gimbal follows the bandit automatically once locked. For altitude you need to manually push the auto button on the right of the mfd though.
Right. The search is only 40° but once the contact is STT locked, GS can maneuver out to the full gimbal limit of 70° off nose.
Second idea
Depends on which tracking mode you are using. If you're using TWS you have to change 'MAN' to 'AUTO' on the right (I think it's the middle button). If you're using RWS like he was using here, that 40-degree search is just for locating and locking. Once it has something locked it will follow that target to the edges of your gimble.
Im no Expert, but to my knowlegdge you can move the scan area as well (either put tdc somewhere and press it or use a mode where it follows automatically), so it is possible to use the 40 degree scan but look at 30 to 70 degrees to your right. If you track a bandit, depending on the selected mode (manuel or auto) the radar will move the scan area with the target to keep lock. I cant tell how exactly (if at all) this differs between TWS and STT Lock right now, I would have to try it out again.
That aamram better make me proud...proceeds to hit the ground 200m later >.
The radar operations for a BVR fight I don't really know yet, but I find the analysis fascinating. I can't wait to get involved. This looks like SO much fun. Especially the guns only fights. I find those the most compelling, but all the "fights" or "missions" look really cool. Thanks so much for the content and especially the analysis. Explaining things for newbies. I imagine you get tired of repeating about the MAR, WEZ, elementary radar stuff, etc...but I really appreciate it. Great content. Keep it up. Your channel is most often the highlight of my day. Keeps me sane haha. Thanks...take care.
Always the jump scare at the end when that happens
I notice you use the F-18C a lot. I pretty recently fell in love with the Super Hornet (yes, before Top Gun) and would love to see its chops in more bvr stuff.
Also, another great video. And rare GS loss!
Comedic timing is always on point
Looked like that R-77-1 nailed you while you were in it's notch. Major Bummer Dude : (.
Great video. Would you be interested in doing this same scenario/video with the more modern Super Hornet to see how it stacks up? I know quite a few NATO and American allies still fly the legacy hornets, but, considering the USA has pretty much done away with using them and are primarily using the modern Super Hornet as far as the US Navy is concerned, it seems far more likely that a Super Hornet would be what goes against a Flanker if the USA ever gets into a hot war with the Russians that the US Navy is engaged in. Anyway, like I said, great video.
Day80: F35 Vs SU57 BVR and Merge
More WWII stuff and IL-2, please.
Kinda weird seeing GS lose. But he did say he was the underdog....
"This is not Behind Enemy Lines so the missile does not have infinite fuel". Love that reference.
I figure this would be an interesting video idea: how about a 3-way dogfight
Although a recreation of the final countdown with F14Bs vs Japanese Zeros gun only fight would be awesome too
Slow plane got you killed.. good fight, you called it at the beginning.
Not to make GS anymore legendary but I wonder if GS is involved in the development of of pilotless planes- able to easily surpassed the limits of man.
You know they already have mind blowing stuff that we can only guess about.
And the humans who pilot them will be different from traditional pilots in both physical and mental features.
I think someone on the moon is actually going to be the proud new owner of a fuel tank😂
GS just casually demonstrating why flying in clouds is challenging.
My man didnt feel a thing. 😢
Thank god the Episodic Content Gods will revive this man and let him get another shot at hopefully several bandits.
I love the moment when you said: we can get into merge if we…dead 😂
I’m a simple man, I see growling sidewinder flying an F/A-18C, I click.
11:29 From 1-10, how proud of you for that AAMRAM?
Your commentary as always adds so damn much to the video!
*God i love free Entertainment*
Day 90 of asking for F-35 vs Su-57 please gs I’m dying for this
This video tells me more about the missiles than the planes. The fact that Su-27 was already high and recommited by the time you defeated the missile tells me he defeated the AMRAAMs with ease way sooner which allowed him all that time to get high and comfortable to fire higher probability of kill shots at Hornet.
correct but the reason he was able to do that was because the hornet is slow (relative) and therefore amramms that come off the hornet are easier to defeat. I would bet most of those missiles might have hit him if I was in the F-16.
Well I wasn't expecting that ending. That hit like a Pheonix missile. All that was left was a corner panel flying off into the sunset. lol Can't win em all. Great vid bud.
Epic battle hell yeah
The last AMMRAM:
Fuck this shit I'm out.
Please keep using that camo on the Flanker it looks awesome
That ending was how most of my favorite characters die! 😭 🤣
Love the vids bro keep ‘em coming💥🖤
Your famous last words are getting better and better 😂
Loving the Intercept videos lately.
Oof, he smoked you hard on that last missile.
Pure adrenaline. Thank you for the video!!!
When that Battlefield Theme kicks in!
LOVE TO SEE F35 - F22 strike package against J20 and J11 🇨🇳🇺🇸
I didn't see that missile coming!
Both of these are my favourite!
I'm broken.. every time you say AMRAAM 120D a little guy in my head says "Deez Nuts!"
Well explained information about how the BVR missiles work. So I thought about you creating a BVR/Dogfight scenario between the MiG-29 and the Felon, GS. I need you to do this gameplay to compare the technological capabilities of these two planes. Anyways, great content again and keep low as always against BVR missiles in the next few videos!
I have a video idea for you. Why don't you try jettisoning the tanks as a weapon while being close to another jet.
Sorry, you seem to have been cut off there at the end. Could you repeat last?
Great vid though. Always informative and entertaining.
That was awesome. Can't wait to get into dcs with an f18 at some point man this looks intense
Your amraam really made you proud 😂 🎉
Cool way to dump fuel tank, inverted. 😅
Would be cool to see an EA-18G put to use
You were brave for even attempting that match up. The Hornets are good at many things, this isn’t one of them.
Loved the Behind Enemy Lines reference lol
If that drop tank hits somebody's home or head, he will be proud owner of it but in heaven 😅
Mission briefing: Why are you dead?
I miss Jester.
And STT is a stronger lock than TWS, because the radar is only focused on one target, while TWS focuses on multiple.
I was soooo looking to this merge
damn. Recommitted slightly sooner.
I love the fights over the sea.
Would love to see one more rematch again.....
i thought that the jettison tank function just released a clamp or something and they were immediately subjected to gravity- i didn't realize that they're actually ejected away lol
please try to drop the tank onto a plane during the merge or an overshoot. it is a very low tech missile. i believe in you
Looks like missiles hits the GS with additional rage! It seems that missiles hate GS)))
I wish a jettesoned fuel tank would land in my back yard. A Free kyak and jet fuel, thats a good day.
So I was wondering how much missile protection does ground hugging gives, because ground hugging not only provides enhanced radar clutter but also provides a fake signature of the target via reflection. So if a plane is sufficiently close to the ground, then the missile will inevitable drive into the ground next to target plane.
The question is that can there be realistic scenarios where a plane can fly sufficiently close to the ground on a flat plain such that it is practically invulnerable to radar guided missiles?
F4 phantom vs vegan
Imagine how many pilots had their lives erased like this
That hit at the end...ouch.
I'm still flinching.
I would have gone for the Fox 2 shot instead of that last AMRAAM.
Other than that, exemplary flying, GS
Please do more historical dogfights, i really enjoy those!
I hear they make a fine canoe.
That was a nasty kill tho
RIP GS
unexpected ending but great battle! do you happen to have any insider information on the release date of the F4U Corsair?
GS an underdog? Yeah right ...... Doh! RIP GS 👼
Not the "flaring to the merge" that GS expected to do.
Here's the problem with modern air to air combat , you have no idea when your gonna die, you die instantly, even your ghost get startled 💀
Rafal vs su27 lol
Great video btw
