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.

@avramnovorra Год назад

The one standout in any Hornet dogfight is that howl i keep hearing from its 2 F404 engines, like in 7:29 and 8:26! It just stands out, like the buzz of a real hornet! As for manuever kills, i can indeed say i enjoy watching them occur. Gun and missile kills are always preferable but a bandit plowing themselves into the ground reminds me of boxing matches where the opponent is just completely out of it.

@louispenn9253 Год назад

The howl makes me yearn for the Avro Vulcan

@Axxetto Год назад

@ArnelCustodio Год назад

I used to be an AC at NAS Lemoore for five years (tower and radar room) so I got the pleasure of working with F-18s every day during that time. They're incredible birds. Watching their training sessions and the things they could do... mind-blowing. I must say, though, that I was most impressed by the F-16 pilots, who would come by once in a while. Those guys would come in for a low pass at what seemed like 20-40 feet off the runway and just shoot off completely vertically like rockets... what a sight (they tried to show off in front of Navy guys all the time ;) ).

@murphymmc Год назад

Maneuver kills are satisfying. You can create an atmosphere of panic in your opponent, you can create one of overconfidence, you can create one of tunnel vision focus all in one fight at times.

@T25de Год назад

Last kill When you’re thinking oh no this isn’t good, but your enemy is saying the exact same thing

@NightOwlModeler Год назад

Looked like in the last fight the Mirage just pulled up into a full stall... see how slowly he's falling with his plane pointed straight down and GS is still manuvering yet the same vertical speed. The mirage just pancaked into the ground with better than 60-70 AoA as he fell.

@The1980Philip Год назад

Damn ... the other guy didn't survive ANY of the rounds. He tried ejecting in Round 2 but went splat before the chute opened up.

@vized2415 Год назад

Can we appreciate how GS was juking those rounds during the 3rd round? Holy shit!

@jasoncrawford4929 Год назад

I think of maneuver kills as a compliment: they were so heavily focused on you pressuring them that they weren't paying attention to flying anymore due to panic

@christoney2491 Год назад

Maneuver kills are the best. You didn't have to shoot your opponent. You simply out-flew them.

@benhitchcock3057 Год назад

Maneuver kills are just as valid as other kills. I fly R/C gliders in combat slope soaring, and if you force your opponent into the ground... then that counts just as much as hitting him and then he ends up on the ground. Excellent flying as always GS. Love your vids.

Pilot over G'd(8.5Gs I think) in a Lot 10 18C back in 1996 during the Bosnian conflict. Maintenance crews had to pull all the strain gauges placed throughout the aircraft to determine if the aircraft was air worthy. It was.

I think the US Navy and McD&D went a bit conservative with the G rating, as now all C Hornets are 9G rated and have been for years.

Since we're getting a lot of you playing some good 2-circle fighter (well, F-18 isn't a part of them, but you still use 2-circle tactics here because he's better at this than the M2K). I would like to see you playing a really good 1-circle fighter (Flanker, M2K, F18 ...) against a really good 2-circle fighter like the F16 or the F14 (or anything better than your actual plane in a 2-circle), because 2-circle seems like ''godtier easy tactic'' to win when it's your strengh. But I think it's because you've pretty much mastered it haha ! Would be cool. Appart of that, very good videos as always ! ♥

You learn the Hornet properly and you’ll kill him 100% of the time I think bruh good luck

@TictacAddict1 Год назад

I work in the Defense industry. Some of my colleagues and I were discussing maneuver kills yesterday, consensus being they occur for two reason. 1) Adrenaline filled target fixation by the aggressor in the fight. 2) Too much attention given to the dominate aircraft by the defensive pilot who is in pure desperation mode.

Good evening. First of all, thank you for the many videos you make. I admire your driving skills. I'm not as good at dogfighting. I don't know if you've seen any of my videos, but currently I can't defeat the su-33. With the Hornet...I got it by letting it chase me and it ended up hitting the ground...It's not really a win. I think I have better luck with the Mirage against the su-33. I had two duels and managed to hit the su-33. And your last video motivated me even more! Thanks! Predator1726 from France

Would it be possible to see a fight between the A4 Skyhawk vs the F-18 Hornet? The A4 was used as an aggressor for Top Gun against the f-18 and is still used to this day in aggressor roles with certain companies, notably Top Aces, a Canadian contractor that operates the A4N, amongst the Alpha Jet A model and A/B F-16s.

M2000 should never to lose to the f18 in a gun battle. If you get to the deck and get stuck in a 2 circle just extend away, gain altitude and restart the 1 circle.

@TurboHappyCar Год назад

That's why they have fox-2's for the fight. For GS's dogfights, they're allowed to use the missiles to finish off an opponent that was damaged by guns or if the the opponent extends away, iirc.

@kfree8841 Год назад

I was referring to gun battle only after missiles are exhausted. Honestly though wouldn’t matter as the Mirage should win almost always in the first turn assuming gun proficiency. It’s not even fair if the Mirage pilot is aggressive on the merge.

One of my most memorable and enjoyable kills was a maneuver kill. Two enemies on my six, seemed like they were not coordinating at all.
