Check out the Merch Store: growling-sidewinder.creator-spring.com/ Little bit of Bandit Unknown I know its been a while since we did this series, gotta keep the Tomcat something to do while we wait for the apache, thanks for watching guys and I hope you enjoyed.
@@GrowlingSidewinder Definitely getting a lot better! I remember some old videos where you could have easily made the kill multiple times a fight haha! Great job!
BRO that gunshot on the F22 WTF. Youre crazy that wasnt all luck. Not many people could have pulled that off so smoothly. that was precision instinct and feel, well played.
Can we get a bandit unknown as a two ship??? Like 2 human pilots against unknowns? EVEN BETTER unknown amount of enemy in a flight? OMG that would mos def level up this series. Loving it by the way!! Keep it up!
If you have the ability to, I would love to see you use an input map like some speedrunners do (showing your inputs with the stick, rudders, etc.) I think it could help folks like me learn a lot about how to use those parts of the aircraft at a more advanced level.
Gotta admit, I did a sphincter check when I saw that F-22 but then about came out of my chair when you scored the gun kill... Loving all these videos of the beautiful F-14... My favorite Aircraft of all time.
You CAN take credit for the second kill. You saw his turn reversal and knew it provided an opportunity for a shot, and took immediate action to make the situation work for you.
that F-22 kill reminds me that even an oldie like a Tomcat may still kick ass even when it's the underdog.. also, i gotta love the external cam in round 1 - it captured the difference between the howling & screaming of the Tomcat & Hornet's engines so good!
Good Flying!!!.... But it pains me to see that beautiful hornet crash and burn. Saw it in person in Abbottsford and it is still one of my favourite liveries. Kudos for downing that F-22, bro!!!!
I always come to these videos feeling chill. But afterward, as I leave, I vividly remember what a serious business dogfighting really is…someone probably isn’t going home.
The fight against the F-22 proves it is the man in the cockpit that makes a plane deadly. The aircraft is a tool, the pilot is a weapon, and it only takes one lapse in judgement, one mistake, one failure to read the situation correctly, to allow an enemy to capitalize and turn the tables, even in an inferior aircraft. That being said, Growling Sidewider makes the F-14 about as deadly as it can be.
Hey GS !! Thx for the amazing videos !! Love the unknown bandits dogfights ! Could you consider making a F16 vs Mirage 2000 (or F18) BFM video (with GS in the Viper) ? This fight could be interesting knowing that it is THE 1c fighter vs THE 2c's ! Thx again for the videos,
BTW, that F-22 kill WASN'T luck; you just laid down a solid stream of piss and vinegar hoping that he would walk into it. Sounds like that's exactly what you should do.
Damn, that last round was intense as a Hornet guy, just wish he had cut the throttle and hit the airbrakes to slow down to the point where ripping your wings gets impossible, could’ve saved his life there.
The F/A-18C warning system be like: "Over G! Over G! Over G! Over G!" F/A-18C:*Snaps wing* Pilot: 😦**Ejects** F/A-18C warning system: "I told you!"🤬🤌🤌🤌 Also the F/A-18C warning system: "Wait!!! Take me with you!!!" ☠ [I had to edit this idk how many times to get the asterisk to work on the ejects part. There is actually two on each end and it shows one.]
I love the F-14 tomcat.... one of my favorite childhood fighter planes which still holds to this day, even though the F15 and others outclass the F14.... still a fan, love this plane
Just goes to show it's not all about the equipment. GS can make a mockery of you regardless of what you're flying. Little bit sad he didn't come at you with the Viper. Wanted to see that rate fight.
GS: shoots down raptor in a tomcat Me: *quotes meme un-ironically* “THATS WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT! THATS WHY HE’S THE MVP! THATS WHY HE’S THE GOAT! THE GOAT!”
Can we see some F-18 BVR? You always mention how speed is key for BVR and I’d like to see how the F-18 handles it with its comparatively lower cruise speed.
Gawd Damnit why can't new upgraded Tomcats be flying in our skies by the Navy?! This is just sex with wings. Also, I know why we can't have nice things, it's just a figure of speech. I love in the game how the plane just rattles as you pull hard. It makes me happy each time I hear it.
1. You "rearranged" the Raptor's nose; call you Dr. GS, Plastic Surgeon 2. When downing a Canadian Hornet, just pretend the pilot is from Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Thunder Bay, or a Newfie. 3. Never seen you merge, high Mach, into a pure vertical zoom climb where you run completely out of energy, coming over the top with 50 kts on the clock or tail slide. Would be great to see a series of videos in different jets, high to very high Mach at the merge, and see if this monster zoom climb in a viable option (guns only) for ACM. Test the theory if sitting on a very high perch, with little airspeed, is a good idea or not. This is a good idea in an FW-190 but does this apply with modern jets? Never seen a DCS video specifically testing this out. You will be the 1st. Cheers.
