I have heard you say in the past the F-15E is not a good dogfighter because of its weight. The F-15EX is even heavier, does it suffer from the same problem?
In an emergency, if you found yourself over-shooting your enemy in close combat, could you drop your tanks on him to either change his direction, or maybe even score a hit and possibly cause some damage? Just a thought. Great content GS, Thank You
Love the videos, but you have to be careful with the large viewership you have now (congrats). Multiple replies have people calling it the F-15X now rather than the actual model name of F-15EX (Boeing F-15EX Eagle II).
Looks the C5 is from Memphis on the tail. Me too Tenn Air Guard rocks. Great Squad. They are in C17 for some time now. I miss the C5 flying over the house out east. That engine sound is just EPIC!!! C5 replaced the C141 decades ago now 17. Hercules before 141. Great vid of the X
Absolutely love the videos! DCS is an incredible game. Graphics are awesome. Just wondering about a few things. I'm relatively new to your channel. How do you turn your head and look out your cockpit? Do you have a headset on? Or do you just move your mouse? Second, is there any way you can show the very beginning of a mission? Like when you're actually taking off? Love the content man!
If i may help with this answer... Under playlist i think he has a few vids that show his set up and capabilities and also a few vids on the language, codes, types of maneuvers and tips to get you started. I think he has VR goggles and some type of eye tracking ability as well. Ive heard him mention both. Beginning with "taking off" he seems to do more with helicopter vids and mission based vids where he is scrambling to defend against an attack or go provide support. Ive seen him take off from a taxi way if my memory is correct. The dog fighting and scenario vids such as this one tend to start in the air. I hope that helps. Oh...I learned to understand what is going on mainly from just watching his vids because he explains it so well in the vids.
@@OzcarMike641 the ex would be the better choice since its modernized and upgraded while the C model is still an formidable jet its lacking systems and upgrade that can top up its newer variant which has 12 and the C has 8
I just wish they'd use some better tactics and put up a fight, they know their electronics are worse and their missiles are worse but they still come in high for BVR with the F-15s. Where's the old ground hugging Mig and Flanker pilots sneaking in low with radars looking up to make the most of their older technology?
@@yoloman3607 The problem with that is that IF you get spotted by someone up high there is no running, there is no hiding and there is no driving it into the ground. The missile will come down from thinner air very very fast, and since it's looking down on you ridges don't help unless they're absurdly steep. And you can't get it to lead you downward, because you've got no altitude to sacrifice.
@andersjjensen in DCS that's absolutely not true. If you fly on the ground and know your enemies capabilities you can fly smart and jam through much superior BVR capabilites.
Video idea: Last man standing bandit unknown intercept mission between you and a couple of your friends. Bring whatever aircraft with whatever armament you want, last man standing (or last man dying in case of banzai) wins.
Would your wingman normally coordinate with you on the engagement? So you dropped tanks does that mean the C5 would have to continue without you or would there be a tanker out there to let you continue? I loved the We'll push in... Oops wingman go him!
What is that alarm that's three loud beeps in quick succession? I'm trying to learn the different beeps of the jets in your videos and in American jets I always hear this "BEEP BEEP BEEP!" sound. It sounds like the plane is telling you you're in danger even though you arent in any apparent danger. What does it mean? i'm guessing its a TCAS alarm or something?
@GrowlingSidewinder aren't the avionics probably the same tho? I mean they use the same radar so I would be guessing the X has all of the fancy tech the EX does
4:40 genuine question, did that Mig pilot ejected at mach speed (assuming due to the ejection happen first then the sonic boom came later)? Is that something advisable irl? I can't imagine what happens to the pilot's body when ejecting at that speed
It does! ^^ There's two versions, the F15EX which is the strike eagle with the digital upgrade pack you see in the video, and there's the F15X which is the F15C/D with the digital upgrade pack. Biggest difference is the EX is a two seater and the X is a single seater :)
@@Nebby_Webby i know about the EX but i havent seen anything about the single seat C being upgraded to an X. fantastic! the F15C is so amazing as a gen 4 air superiority fighter, it needs to be kept as a new X model 😊
The condensation trails look great in the threaded view, but I noticed in the cockpit view, they look like puffs of cotton flying off one at a time, albiet in rapid speed. Why would they look differrent depending on the view?
As I understand it the F-15EX is a 2 seater but the USAF will only fly it with a single pilot, no WSO. They did that as a cost savings since it was already in production. They aren’t making a single seat upgrade that the USAF is purchasing.
I wouldn't be surprised if they end up having wso's, tho. Since they are only a force multiple. Especially since the f15ex is gathering an incredible amount of information with its advanced radar and other sensors. Not to mention all the information that it's getting from data link. It might be more efficient to have a separate person dealing with all of that.

Great content GS, Thank You
I once saw a concept of a B1 bomber fitted out to be a air to air beyond visual range missile truck. Is this a possible scenario?

This was a very important mission, as that C-5 Galaxy was hauling 40 tons of tasty Sriracha sauce.
I see you're a man of culture.
I was thinking steaks and booze for some party.
Lolllll
SAVE THE SRIRACHA!!!!!
🫡
If someone ordered me to go engage 2 F-15s in a Mig-23, I'd defect.
The MiG-23s should have (would have?) aborted the mission and gone home when the last MiG-29 died.
Half the time likely Libya crisis they probably don’t know they’re being engaged

I appreciate you watching when you can, much love.
Yeah 40 tons of Sriracha is a national asset. Defend at all cost!
*When they into visual range*
GS: Well Cowabunga it is....
Thanks!
Thank you very much.
Dropping wing tanks has always amused me in a few ways. I wonder if anyone in a remote area has ever had these tanks suddenly land near them? 😂
Steel rain? 😆
In Vietnam they were repurposed for all kinds of things by civilians, mostly boats.
@@benrichey2593 Many years ago in Northern Burma I saw a WWII 500 lb. bomb being used as a church bell. Almost like beating swords into plowshares! 😃
Punching off the tanks isn't done often at all. Very rare.
yes in turkey they hit some cars
Can you do any naval warfare next? Attacking and or Defending ships using anti-ship missiles?
Man the Flogger still looks mighty mean
CONGRATULATIONS ON 600K!!!
Ahhh yes he is finally in the F-15EX
Not an EX, he flews that a few times prior. This looks like a "what if" CX variant of the Eagle.
@@ISAFSoldier The F-15CX was actually proposed by Boeing, but they didn't go through with it because single-seat Eagles aren't produced anymore
Next thing you know, he'll finally be in the F-35 next. 🤣
@@ISAFSoldier he never flew the EX before.
@@ISAFSoldierno, USAF has a new F-15 and this is it
The F-15s came back like, "boy do we have a story to tell you." Lol
Congrats on 600K, love the mod videos
What an absolute BEAST! The F-15 rules!!!
Sweet, those were my MiG-23 liveries, woot woot. Firehawk7171
Looks the C5 is from Memphis on the tail. Me too
Tenn Air Guard rocks. Great Squad.
They are in C17 for some time now. I miss the C5 flying over the house out east. That engine sound is just EPIC!!! C5 replaced the C141 decades ago now 17. Hercules before 141.

F-15EX vs F-22? Would definitely want to see you up against something tougher than those old Korean MiGs
Need to see the X with the new AIM 174
I put it on the C model. Its a beast.
It would be neat, but I doubt it. It's a navy missile and the USAF and USN don't really get along.
@@OzcarMike641 the ex would be the better choice since its modernized and upgraded while the C model is still an formidable jet its lacking systems and upgrade that can top up its newer variant which has 12 and the C has 8
@ViperPilot16 they share missiles when developed
Hey that’s the Tennessee Air National Guard’s 164th Air Lift Wing from my hometown of Memphis, TN!
I just wish that one day we will get a video “I had the opportunity to fly in a real fighter jet” that would be so awesome
“And I turned it down”
There’s a few programs where you can. I got the opportunity to fly in a trainer F-16 FF back in 2000. I hurt for days afterwards
@@CarbonPower One of the teachers in my school district got to ride in the back seat of an F-18.
And DCS was better.
Love your stuff man but it’s been 3 months, time to get back into that piston engine shit my dude!
Kinda want to see an Eagle wall with the AIM-174 vs everything now 😂 Thanks for the video GS!
I think I will download the F15EX to my collection. Awesome aeroplane.
I work at RAF Lakenheath, nice to see we have F-15X at LN.......great video as always
Not an F-15EX. Just an overhaul for the ingame DCS F-15C since it doesn't have an interactive cockpit.
I need to see the eagle with that new gigantic missile. That would be amazing with the eagles awesome radar.
Can't wait to see him dogfight in the Tornado when it comes
Maybe he'll use that runway-buster cluster munitions attachment?
Migs will get your attention but Flanker's scare the shit out of me...

Loving the new digital cockpit....
Love these missions
Congrats on 600K🎉🎉🎉
How in the hell do they develop a simulator with so much detail? It’s insane honestly
im here for my daily dose of growling sidewinder
very cool! Anyone making a playable mod for the F-16 block 70?
That was like let's go out for lunch and will bring you something on the way home.........!
Waiting for you to pull a B-70 Valkyrie Fox 4 on that Galaxy lol
Thanks for that. Brightens my day.
Great to watch
wow, just 2 F-15 can win an entire war!
Two F-15EX fully loaded with AMRAAMs could splash the entire fighter fleets of some smaller countries (assuming all or almost all Fox Threes connect)
Does that C5A have pulse engines on it ?
FYI that C-5 was the one that launched the ICBM from its cargo bay. A glorious feat by the AF
Congrats on 600k!
Thanks for calling it out, I missed that. *YEAH, CONGRATULATIONS, GS!!*
MIGs-Wha what are you? Eagle-DEATH
Congrats on the 600K
Would your wingman normally coordinate with you on the engagement? So you dropped tanks does that mean the C5 would have to continue without you or would there be a tanker out there to let you continue? I loved the We'll push in... Oops wingman go him!
He drops tanks when they're empty unless something has gone completely pear shaped and he needs all the maneuvering he can possibly squeeze out of it.
no aircraft stands a chance against the new eagle. It flies like no other jet. It doesn't need thrust vectoring. shit.
600 K. Congratulations.
F15x vs mig31 would be a cool fight.
Did you ever play any of the Jane’s sims from the mid to late nineties, like the Anthology, or Longbow series?
yes I did, thats where my love for this stuff first sparked.
the new eagle can accelerate while going vertical. It's a fuckin beast
I mean, the F16 also has a positive thrust to weight ratio :)
*Go supersonic while going in a fully vertical climb.
I guess these days in BVR you'd want to push for better missiles and better radar
Do wingman radars share data lock?
Nicely done.
What is that alarm that's three loud beeps in quick succession? I'm trying to learn the different beeps of the jets in your videos and in American jets I always hear this "BEEP BEEP BEEP!" sound.

I'm pretty sure that's the RWR new airborne target sound
It's FRED - C5 . Work on them for several years.
Bro you half to do J20 vs su57
finally a real challenge for the F15EX
Not an EX, more like a fictional CX
How are ancient Mig-23's a challenge for any modern fighter?
@@s1mply_bl4ckout A single seat CX is the plane they should've built. With the stealth improvements of the SIlent Eagle.

Another easy day at the office
You should do an intercept mission in the EX
Not an F-15EX. Just an overhaul for the ingame DCS F-15C since it doesn't have an interactive cockpit.
Question: Does it have the extra thrust and enhanced maneuverability, or is it simply an avionics simulator?
Wouldn't their PoK but be similar to the missiles you fired?
Doesnt the EX have an HMD?
Maybe but this isn’t the EX the EX is tandem seat.
@GrowlingSidewinder aren't the avionics probably the same tho? I mean they use the same radar so I would be guessing the X has all of the fancy tech the EX does
4:40 genuine question, did that Mig pilot ejected at mach speed (assuming due to the ejection happen first then the sonic boom came later)? Is that something advisable irl? I can't imagine what happens to the pilot's body when ejecting at that speed
To be fair, hitting the ground at Mach isn't great for their body either.
