I've had a saying for decades [I turn 60 this year - yeah me]. It goes, "I'll try anything - twice." Why twice? Because you must always account for external variables. Your 1st experience should never be definitive. To be fair, 19 semesters of university taught me that. (Wanna know a secret? I'll try everything bunches more times - just in case I missed something good.) 💯
GS: I do like that you're facing opponents more even with your own skill now. There is actual tension and uncertainty in outcome, and it makes a win for you more meaningful. Keep bringing Longshot!
@@Redmalicious I like the way he points out how the situation looks good or has gotten crappy. All the little details, on how he divines his opponents energy state by what he just did How he. points out cues that he uses as markers for making the split second winning decisions. Oh yeah and I get a real kick when he tries something new or gets taken by surprise And I especially like his gallows humor and sick wit GS is DCS legendary at level 20 and LS is right there with him.. Okay fan boy out over
imagine being the people on that road at 4:35 watching two jets dance around above you only eventually one foxes at the other and boom, an explosion about 2 km away from you
Why is it that anytime GS says anything with some degree of authority DCS straight murders him. GS: I am gonna lure him into a rate fight because his missiles can't turn.........I gotta pull a little bit harder so those missiles can't turn...... DCS: Hold my beer... GS: THAT MISSILE'S TURNING RIP........LOL
It is always a joy watching two closely matched, very skilled pilots in closely matched aircraft going at it hammer and tong in these DCS dogfights, and pulling every rabbit out of the hat that they can to win. It is very entertaining, and instructive. I confess that after some of the F-22 videos, where the contest seems so one sided that it qualifies as a baby seal clubbing exercise, the first thing to come to mind was "Longshot, you earned that kill, just on Karma alone!". Please do more videos like this! :-D
Great performance. Love that fineally get to see the Gripen perform really well. all though hope that gripen get it´s own place in this sim. not just a mod.
Love to see that you’re flying the CF-18 in RCAF colours against the jet that may become its replacement! The JAS-39 Gripen E/F is a contender against the Block 3 Super Hornet and the Lightning II. Long Shot’s making the Gripen look good! Great video GS!
Oh my, this is actually my request, and you actually did it! Even if you're not the one piloting the Gripen, I'm very happy to see my favorite 4th gen Fighter being featured again! Thank you soo much GS, this is a very nice early birthday gift for me 🥰💞... And to my fellow Gripen fanboys, lezzgooooooo...
@@henry247 tbh i dont know, i dont play this simulator, and I dont know about these mods, but Gripen E is not that old, visualwise Gripen E is a bit larger than the older version not much but a little. The specs for E are alot more modern and sophisticated thou from what i can find info about on the internet. But all Gripens can be heavily modified for the country that is going to use them so im not really sure I just know it is one promising plane for the future, but i think there is a collaboration of making a 6th gen stealthfighter in europe at the moment and Sweden is Probably involved in that somehow. Sorry for a long and nor very specific answear to your question.
I love watching these videos, makes it hard to determine if someone is winning based off of pure skill or because they have a better airframe. Remember the Gripen is just over 10 years newer than the F/A-18 which means it should technically be better than it, but a good/bad or even great pilot evens those odds.
Thoroughly entertaining! The JAS39 Gripen is a really cool aircraft. I was just researching it and decided to see if GS has fought in one. And here I am. :)
It's an epic failure with so many problems that get overlooked by click-bait AvGeek media, who proclaim it as some kind of fighter marvel. Mishap rate is very high for a modern fighter, DFLCS wasn't worked out even by the C/D models, T/W is pathetic, and it's so bad Saab hired another marketing firm out if UK to pimp it for them using bribes to foreign defense officials, got caught, admitted guilt, and were fined $400 million for fraud and deceptive overseas marketing practices. To make it even worse, Saab built $4 billion worth of empty C/D airframes with no orders for them, thinking the Gripen E/F internals could be installed later.... Then realized E/F have to be bigger....it's like a clown show really.
@@jameson1239 Multiple sources, starting with Swedish press, followed by basic math assessing the T/W ratio, followed by the international defense trade stories on the IRAR violations and consequential guilty plea entered by BAE's marketing firm that was hired by Saab, followed by open source historical and aviation safety bulletin reports of the various Gripen mishaps. The mishaps are clown shoes stuff too. One involved the pilot's g-suit activating the ejection handle when it inflated. It's an embarrassment really.
@@mikaeljohansson6518 It’s really not. It’s easy to trick people who don’t know anything about aviation into thinking the Gripen is some type of marvel, but those who have been in aerospace and defense specific to fighters and their various systems look at the Gripen and say, “What’s all the hype about?” Low Thrust/Weight Low payload Long take-off roll Low combat radius when configured Low growth potential High cost for acquisition (each Gripen E/F costs more than the F-35A) Normal Operations and Maintenance costs What’s not to like?
You just cannot deny that the Jas 39 Gripen is such a beautiful aircraft compared to anything else it loos so elegant with the angles and the proportions
My only "Aviation" fandom was watching commercial pilots talk cockpit and night commercial approaches and landings. But this stuff is great content! Your skills are on par with real jet pilots. Your knowledge of combat doctrines amazing!
Longshot: I've been waiting for you, Sidewinder. We meet again, at last. The circle is now complete. When I left you I was but the learner. Now, I am the master. GS: Only a master of nice moves.😂
That's happened several times. It has departed controlled flight multiple times due to glitches in the flight control laws, right in front of Swedish news crews and another time in front of thousands of onlookers for a big national holiday. Videos are here on UA-cam.
Love the vids guys. Maybe F-16 vs Gripen next? Those two planes are always in direct competition for NATO allies ' airforces purchases. Would be interesting to pit them! Cheers!
Great vid as always and well played Longshot!! Love how you pretty much always call it first whether you about to kill or get killed tho. I really struggle with that sort of SA once in the merge especially as im using VR hurts my neck lol
That F/A-18 GS is flying has (what looks like) RCAF roundels on the side. Canada will be evaluating the Gripen along with the Super Hornet and the F-35 to replace its aging fleet of F/A-18s. A lot of digital fighter pilots and armchair experts are putting their support behind the Gripen. The Gripen looks like a winner in the digital realm.
well the gripen is a pack hunter, they have radar sync. I think a lone gripen killing a plane worth more then three times as much is impressive. The gripen is a fast responder and fast turn around not long fights.
@@Oneshrimpyboi Price is a bit irrelevant here. The Gripen is very small and light. That makes it nimble and with its delta wings, also manouverable at high speeds due to being able to pull high AoAs. Nothing strange with a Gripen killing an F-18 in a 1v1 gunfight, of course it depends on the pilots
So the Gripen (Like a lot of our designs) is a deltawing aircraft and deltawings bleed a lot of energy in a turn cuz aerodynamics shit, that was a problem with the Draken and that's probably why he could get behind you within 2 turns, so yeah... You don't want to ever underestimate the Gripen or it's missiles tbh

Is there an F-14A vs A-4 video? "This is HOP 19 - multiple aircraft multiple boggies. The competition for the Top Gun trophy remains tight."
I've had a saying for decades [I turn 60 this year - yeah me]. It goes, "I'll try anything - twice."
Why twice? Because you must always account for external variables. Your 1st experience should never be definitive.

Try jf17 vs gripen
I have been watching many of your videos. In this one, It felt like if you let the gripen win on purpose.
“I’m gonna pull a bit harder so those missiles don’t turn, THAT MISSILES TURNING.” *Dies*
