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

Hey guys, brought back this tacview because I feel like it explains a lot of concepts that might be useful to those of us new to air to air combat in DCS, I hope you guys found this useful and thank you for watching, if there are other concepts you'd like discussed let me know in the comments below and I'll see what we can about it. Thanks again, All the best.
Good idea GS, with your channel growing you may need to drop this video once a year.
So.. what you are trying to tell them is: gitgud.
@@BattleChicken-ij2qs 👍😉
Having tacviews every couple of videos would be amazing for the channel man. We missed them 😅
Amazing video is always, very informative
@@Error-33 Ditto The tacviews would also be interesting for some of the ground attack missions.
Learned more in 10 min that hours of “dcs tutorials” thanks brother
Glad you found it useful man.
@@GrowlingSidewinderI doesn’t even have a pc gamer so far but your videos is just amazing for who loves this amazing machines. I am watching all your videos and just bought a GPU for starting assembling my pc for someday enjoy this sim as you do. Tks a lot.
been playing combat sims since falcon 1.1 and just learned that chaff is more useful when the missile is below you due to the lack of ground clutter. makes total sense. One thing I think needs more explanation though is how you can abuse the missile's need for lead pursuit to make it run into obstacles like the ground. And how smaller changes in your heading can have large turns required for the missile, especially if you're fast - because it needs to pull more lead when you're fast.
cheers!
You should spin a wheel with planes and dogfight them against each other
F-22 vs ME-262 could be happening then...
@@gabrielraveleau1798 ez me 262 win, as tech from the Germany back then is just the best
Gotcha :)
and if there is a difference in performance between planes, like say MiG-21 against something like an F-14, then the plane that is objectively worse gets an AWACS or something
Great idea
Wheel of Plane?
Tacview feels nostalgic man
I miss the Tacview debrief.
Miss
6:19 Can we appreciate how well he drew that y with a mouse
he doesnt just tell you what to do, he tells you WHY you should do it and gives full examples with technical/mechanical background information for context. perfect teaching method.
@GrowlingSidewinder
I'm new to the channel, and finding it's becoming the highlight of my day/week when new videos are available.
When I looked at the older videos, I found the tac-view and review awesome to watch as it gives me ideas for the stories I'm writing. Is there a reason why you stopped doing them? Do you think you could bring them back on occasion like this?
Thank you for what you do! Smile and be happy!
I would love to bring them back from time to time but the reason I stopped is cuz I was constantly repeating the same concepts so I’ve reduced it to only doing it when there is something new or interesting to talk about.
@@GrowlingSidewinderRepeating the same concepts of crushing your opponent 🎉!! I know you don’t always win but when you do it’s “Double Kill Dominating” (voice from UNREAL TOURNAMENT)🏟️
@@GrowlingSidewinder even if there is nothing new to talk about, it might still be good to do them every once in a while. There will always be new viewers who never came across those older videos :)
@@joostvisser6508 Isn't that exactly what this video is?
@@GrowlingSidewinder That's a great choice. Thank you for the tac-reviews when they're there, and thank you for responding.
Do you have a video that goes over the aircraft's user interface? I'm starting to learn how to read the radar and HUD when watching, but was curious if there's already a video. Don't have to take the time to link it as I'll find it if it's there.
Thank you, and I hope you're having a wonderful Easter!
Honestly, even with being familiar with most concepts covered it’s still always great watching these recaps and refreshers. Plus this one was done really well, good stuff.
I just started dcs and I really appreciate these videos. Dcs is quite a lot when you just start out. Having these videos are such a big help. Thanks GS
my pleasure, glad you found it useful.
I'm always learning something from the tac view. You could have talked about this dogfight for an hour and I still would have watched it.
This video made a lot of videos made by fighter pilots make way more sense, thanks for posting this!
My pleasure glad you found it useful.
Hell yeah! TacView is back!
Mate.... im no fighter plane enthusiast or anything.... but Ive watched all your vids.... very interesting!!! Thanks heaps for taking the time to explain...
Thank YOU for watching. Much Love.
Appreciate you taking the time to educate people instead of being all high-faluting like some of these "I've never actually flown a fighter but I'ma act like I have" players. Love your content!
humility is always the right answer and elitism is the cancer of any community. Hope to see that kind of crap phased out of the DCS community, its already gotten much better over the years.
How do you calculate the MAR or NEZ (No Escape Zone)? Do you just generally set a rule that if an aircraft is at such an altitude, you avoid coming within such a distance? For instance, if hostile is at 15000 at mach 0.8, you should generally avoid coming within 20 NM of the hostile? I mean, is there a basic scale chart, or mathematical equation that can provide that determination? Also, should you assume the hostile is carrying the latest and greatest on board, or is there information/factors one can use to help determine how to establish their MAR and maintain combat dominance against the hostile?
So yes you should always assume he is carrying this best payload, unless you know for a fact what he is carrying (obvs in real life you wouldn’t) as for the ranges of the MAR you have to do “testing” to figure those out. And it’s the main reason why countries don’t release the real capabilities of their missiles because then the enemy can figure out the MARs and survive.
@@GrowlingSidewinderAlex Hollings touched on this concept in his AIM 260 missile video too
Been watching for a few months and really liked all the videos. This one really helped solidify my understanding of the the things you say. Thanks a bunch!
Glad you found it useful, thank you for watching.
I would actually love to hear more about the logistics of a fighter. Usage of tanks and pylons/loadouts, route planning, force or divisions of force, weapon selection, etc. Basically what a ground army would plan as logistics, but from an aerial perspective.
Oh my god yes an explanation video, love it! I‘ve been a long time viewer, but still I enjoyed this video and learned some awesome things through it. I hope this won’t stay a one-of-a-kind video and we will see some expanse to this new series! Keep up the great work, I love the videos
I'll learn how to play DCS when I'm retired. It's so daunting, but at the same time would be great to understand so many of these concepts. Good simulators really have strong educational value.
I think the simplest answer to the question why GS's missiles hit while his opponents' don't is just because he's a better pilot. Usually. Sometimes it's also just luck.
I missed the Tacview.. I appreciate this.
I’m only passingly familiar with the terms and tactics so, even being a long time viewer, these videos help a ton. Keep up the great content!
You became a friend even if I don't know you or met you on dcs. But still, I feel it this way. Thanks for all the lessons you give, I find them very useful for my learning.
My pleasure, thank you for watching and I'm glad you found it useful, Much Love.
All the content recently has been so good, and this video stands out. As a casual viewer who used to kind of just watch to enjoy the planes shooting each other down but is now trying to get into dcs, videos like these are priceless. Thank you GS!
I was just thinking to myself the other night that I miss the tac view videos and here we are 😄
Appreciate it, I've literally just found your channel and its not like I was never interested in this but not enough to know anything so this cleared up a lot of questions in my mind
Watching your video's for quite some time now, even from the days where you gave a lot of tacview insights, I still learned something new. The ground clutter and beam/chaff part was very insightfull. Thank you!
That was a really easy to understand explanation my man, thank you.
great for newbies to the channel but also for those of us who've been here much longer but are a bit thick.
I can relate to the thick crowd 😄
So I guess the drag from the atmosphere is the missile's biggest problem, because if it wouldn't be you could climb and force the missile to trade speed for altitude. But when you dive the missile following you will trade altitude for speed which seems to be not enough to compensate for the denser air.
Is the towed decoy modelled in DCS? I would like to see some F35 action with that.
Yes it is modelled but I think only for the f18
@@GrowlingSidewinder Seeing it on the F-18 would be nice too!
I really appreciate how clearly you explain these concepts. I would love to see one of these videos for WW2 aircraft!
Could you touch on the topic of radar multipathing and how that can be used to defend incoming missiles? And can you provide sources or places to research this concept?
Really enjoyed the breakdown of everything. I feel like i have a good understanding of all the tactics you use now!
Best explanation of Notch, Crank and MAR I have seen, thank you so much!
Forgot how much I missed these... Also pleasantly reminded about all the knowledge of air combat and dog-fighting dynamics, terminology, and physics this channel has imparted on me over the years. In the end times, I will have an overall more detailed understanding of how to fight in the sky... and thus, will be one of the ones who volunteers to help fight the baddies in a crucial moment... all thanks to these videos... Thank you Growling Sidewinder.
I work with a couple of retired fighter pilots (one of them a Red Flag Aggressor), they love it when I drop in their cube and discuss the finer points of the Crank and Notch. 😎
This is the single most valuable video I've watched on air combat. I would happy hear the other 35 minutes you left out :D
Excellent content! Thank you for teaching these concepts!
This is really great! I enjoyed the tac view and wish they could be done more often because with only the cockpit view the whole context gets lost sometimes...thanks for the great explanation!
Good one buddy, i came from P3D, and i never flown a fighter jet, because of that i'm struggling in this sim and seeing this tutorial teached a lot, thx.
my pleasure, glad you found it useful man.
i have to say that your kind of education is the one i prefer. No long talking, just straight facts with a good explanation. Thx for taking care of your community and showing us your knowledge und your thoughts in the active battle. Keep going with your work, still love this channel. Viper out :)
This tutorial was great! I'd love to see more in the future.
I miss the Tacview days
Such an informative video, I'd like to see more of these.
I've been watching your channel for years, always great content. DCS was too difficult for me but I love to learn the logic behind the maneuvers and watching the gorgeous visuals is great fun. Thanks for all the hard work, I really enjoy your channel.
Yeah, but did you "Jam the WEZ"?!? 😉😁🤭
Great video, another GS classic! I miss those Tacview commentaries of yours.
👍🏻👏🏻💪🏻😓🍻🍻🙋🏼♂️
Good job on the explanations! It will assist many new pilots who view it.
Always good to see Tac View. Such a great learning experience.
Great video. Thanks for taking the time to talk about it.
Thank you for the quick lesson on air combat. Now your other videos make more sense.
You need to do more of these. VERY useful
This was incredibly insightful. Thanks.
Great examples for the New comers! I've been watching DCS for a while and actually know what missile should do, can't do, and what Jets can do and what they can't do. But it takes time to understand how everything works unless you are a major Military person. Not meaning in the military really but people that are very much interested in Military Stuff.
I don't even have a PC that can run DCS and I love these videos. I had no idea of the limits of fighter jets or the importance of energy management.
Yes! More of this please!! Thank you
Awesome, we need more of this brother!
That was a great explanation for what we hear thank you
Notch: ground clutter, Beam: Chaff.
Thank you brother. I learnt much more things in just 10 minutes from you.
my pleasure thank you for watching, Much love.
I’m glad you revisited this for the newcomers
Thank you! All new info for me. Way cool.
Some other interesting concepts would be the process of detecting an opponent, differences between missile tracking (radar / IR), the need to assist the missile after it's been launched and the engagement range of different missile types.
Learned a lot from this video. Thanks for sharing GS.
Great idea!!👍 I had so much trouble getting weapons hot and radar on that i would try and ram the other jet, I got so pumped first time i pulled the trigger and shot the gun😅
Thanks man! Great video!!!
Awesome explanation. Thank you!
Ive already learned all of this from you, I clicked like and watched just because its a GS Video!
Excellent overview/summary
Thank you! Although I've never played this game and probably will never have the money for a PC to play this, or the time, I still appreciate your explanation and all of your content! Mahalo from Hilo, Hawaii!
Thanks for the refresher
Well explained. Loved it❤
That was a neat explanation GS thanks a lot......!
Fantastic content as always brother thank you
excellent video you should do more of these.
Love your explanations dude. Gotta say and I'm not trying to blow wind up ya ass but you're a really good teacher and do it so chilled.
Makes people want to hear and learn from you, ace job man.
appreciate you man thank you, glad people find the info useful/interesting.
@@GrowlingSidewinder 🤘
As a rifleman, seeing an Apache, a cobra gunship or an A-10 circling overhead, giving air cover, would give me a throbbing
Well, A-10 can also give you friendly fire...
@@kwkfortythree39 so can field artillery
Great explanation thank you !
That was pretty darn good. Best channel imo
thank you very much brother...... god bless you
That is an awesome explanation!
Would like to see more Tacview more often, if possible
I love when you make these videos; I sometimes on stream react to your dogfights (I get loud and excited like a sports commentator) and I think I say stuff that nobody understands a lot, so this is super helpful to help me explain some stuff to them so they know why I go WOOOOO THRUST VECTORED HIM ASS RAHHHH
Always good with an explanation
When you stated using variables I was waiting for a complicated equation.
This is really informative
Excellent explanation
nice refresher
This was so cool!!!
Very helpful
More please
That was really interesting learning that I got most of it. Can you do WW2 tactics as well as my dad flew P51Ds in WW2
Thanks, love in depth analysis from you. I think you forgot the links to your other resources.
hello, the other video is in the pinned commnet.
Yeah.... seems easy with your explanation!
I came back in DCS few days ago and... well not that easy in fact. 😅
Thanks any way for your work!
Awesome video!
Thank you im now educated :)
This helped so much thanks matey
Do you have a buyers guide I can watch? As I want to get my first plane but not 100% sure what to get I’m leaning towards an f-18
2 uploads in 1 day? hell yeah.
Right On
THANKS!
my pleasure sir
@@GrowlingSidewinder I should add that this will help me live more vicariously through your videos... not in a creepy way! The tac view was interesting in explaining what I have seen you do and talk about. Nice fast education.
Just in time while I’m starting dcs
Thanks GS
