    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 Canadian and former avionics technician in a CF-18 squadron I always appreciate anything Hornet. So, thanks!
    Even more crazy, in terms of Canada/China, would be something like what happened last October in 2023. You know, a Canadian Aurora patrol aircraft (P-3 Orion) off the coast of China gets intercepted by Chinese J-10, two-seaters, very distinctive canards, fuel probe, and PL-8 missiles.
    Tail number 64358 and I'm not kidding. Seriously, that J-10 was 10 to 20 feet from the wingtips of the Aurora where you could actually read the tail number.
    Now, of course, in typical GS style... Canadian patrol aircraft get intercepted by Chinese J-10. And hiding under a Chinese transport, well, you know, all of a sudden missiles are fired. WTF?
    Mission accomplished, lol.

      A lone launcher and site isn't necessarily a problem. When you get into S-300s that are on SkyNet and everything in the world is lobbing Mach+ telephone poles at you from 40+miles, THEN it gets difficult.

    I’d like to see you try the mission they did in top gun maverick.

    In this video and others, GS has used JDAMS. Are they better than Mavericks? Are Mavericks not a thing anymore? They were so great in Falcon 3.0 and 4.0

    Could you do a mission like this in a rafale? You have only ever flown it in a dogfight and I’d like to see how it performs using fox 3’s

    2 things, how do you determine your loadout for these missions and do they panic when they see its you?

    Out of curiosity, what skins are available on the F/A-18? When i was in the Marine Corps, I went Mirmar to see the Blue Angels for the second time. One display, there was one F/A-18 that and a MARPAT in shades and tints of gray with EGA's throughout the paint job. Thought it was one of the best paint jobs there that day.
    Anyways, if there's a skin in DCS like that, I'd like to see it on a
    F/A-18 some time in a mission.
