    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.

    Hey GS, not sure if you know but the Mirage has a predictive gunsight mode that you can turn on beneath the HUD. All it does is give you a shoot cue when the shots are likely to land, but it's super helpful when you're already pulling lead and want to fire immediately without waiting for the circle to catch up.

    Great vid as always GS. Given all the Viper stuff lately, you’ve shown how to “persistence hunt” with 2-circle tactics. I’d love to see a more like this video, showing how to press 1-circle attacks. Things like offset turn circles, or other techniques to counter a competent rate-fighting opponent that won’t just overshoot and allow 1-circle reversal opportunities. Would love to see some Hornet, too.

    Hey GS, great video as always! Just wondering what specifically makes an aircraft a better one circle or better two circle fighter. It seems to me being able to turn quickly while maintaining energy is the important thing in both types of fights, but I know I’m missing something. Thanks!

    • @jakethesnake9621
      @jakethesnake9621 2 роки тому +6

      Might be like how much AoA it can pull, aircraft with more AoA are gonna get nose on first and have less energy retention and better slow speed control therefore one circle type, the opposite applies to the two circle aircraft, correct me if I’m wrong I believe that’s how it works

    • @chacetiger58
      @chacetiger58 2 роки тому +8

      Higher roll rate also makes for a better 1 circle fighter as you’ll be needing it to get sharp turns in scissors

    • @Registered_Simp
      @Registered_Simp 2 роки тому +5

      Generally aircraft with higher degrees of nose authority and stability at high angles of attack are good 1-Circle fighters as they can typically cut into opponents turn circles, trading rate speed for a tight radius and instant agility. Aircraft that like to maintain their speed even at high G-Forces are generally very good 2-Circle fighters as they generally have a high rate speed which allows them to work over an opponent while staying out of reach for weapons employment (usually guns)

    • @bleakambition495
      @bleakambition495 2 роки тому

      In a one circle fight, each pilot is fighting to stay behind the other, the tighter the turn radius the better, because both planes are both moving in the same relative direction, in a two circle, it’s about catching their tail, so it’s about how fast you can come around a circle.

      He goes into the vertical to cut the circle in half. When he doesn't get the shot on the way down the viper reverses into the one circle because the mirage is at this point pretty fast. When the viper didn't win that first one circle, he didn't ditch out and kept trying, and the mirage is just going to win.
      He should have just ditched after he didn't make the shot.

    I think the F-16's biggest weakness is the fact that it has just one engine. I mean, if you lose an engine on an F-16, that's it. It's over. Of course, the Mirage 2000 has the same weakness.

    Hey Growling Sidewinder, I just started DCS today and I have a question, what does overshoot mean, I need an extremely simplified explanation because I can’t find or understand it anywhere else.

    • @GrowlingSidewinder
      @GrowlingSidewinder  2 роки тому +1

      Overshoot is when you get the guy who is chasing you to go out in front so you can now kill him. That’s the most basic way I can explain that lol, hope it helped

    At the end of your videos, especially when doing the TacView, you should talk to whoever you flew against and kinda see what they were thinking during certain times in the fights. Could be interesting take on whats going through your opponents mind when trying to bait them into a slow 1 circle fight. Also if you've seen the latest Devotion trailer, theres a part where a MiG 15 dogfights 1 or 2 Corsairs. I know theyre coming to DCS so that could be an interesting video, or even use the P-51 in its place? Korean era dogfighting. Just a few thoughts. Anyways thanks for continuing with the amazing content!

    Can you start giving descriptions on the type of ammunition each aircraft uses (ex: incendiary, explosive, fragmentary, or just straight lead) and possibly the caliber? Only reason I ask is because in round two, you took out his engine with one round (from what I can see) and I want to know what type of ammunition the 2000 was using

    • @GrowlingSidewinder
      @GrowlingSidewinder  2 роки тому +1

      It’s always HEI just with out without tracer

    • @GrowlingSidewinder
      @GrowlingSidewinder  2 роки тому +1

      But ya I can try and remember the calibre, but general rule of thumb is American is often 20mm with the exception of the a10 and Russian is almost always 30mm with the exception of the mig15 I think maybe also the mig21 I’m not sure about the mig21

    • @GrowlingSidewinder

    Hey GS, just thought of a video suggestion. How effective is the reverse thruster on the viggen at forcing an overshoot? For a lackluster dogfighter it would be nice to know if it could make a one trick pony much like the cobra on the su33

    • @gravitydood1554
      @gravitydood1554 2 роки тому +2

      I believe reverse thrust only works when there's weight on the nose wheel of the plane meaning it cannot be used in flight.

    • @TheCol111
      @TheCol111 2 роки тому +1

      Pretty much what Gravity said. Its intended mainly to make the viggen more maneuvorable while on improvised runways like roads & shorten landing distance. There is no way to overide it in flight, it can only be "prepared" to activate the moment the nosewheel touches the ground.

    The mirage 2000 is an awesome dogfighter, the only irritating thing with it is the horrible gun sight, I personally think it is the worse radar assited gun sight we have in DCS for a 4th gen aircraft by a landslide.
