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.

Check out the Store: growling-sidewinder.creator-spring.com/ The Tomcat is a crazy aircraft, it seems like its only limited by the skill of the pilot. Anyway thanks for watching guys I'll see you in the next one, Much Love.

@miguelangeldiazdiaz3 Год назад

Well done GS!!! remember the DCS is USAF certified so it follows that a pilot who knows his plane well can shoot down a "superior" plane sorry Flanker lovers the F-14 Tomcat can and is capable of shooting down Flankers or Migs with a good pilot at the controls, GS Please remember when the F-4E Phantom II is available.

@SkyMaXX5 Год назад

In fact, for the Flanker, the F-14 is a small fish. To confront the F-14, the capabilities of the MiG-23 Flogger and MiG-25 Foxbat were enough. But on the F-15, which turned out to be an excellent fighter at that time, the "teeth" of the Flogger were no longer enough. Therefore, the Flanker was created as a worthy answer to the F-15. Anything is possible in DCS.

@Orca19904 Год назад

What's ironic is that towards the end of the F-14's service life the Navy used them as aggressors representing Flankers at the NSAWC at NAS Fallon.

@OrtadragoonX Год назад

I think it fits. It’s a large twin engine fighter with great range and heavy payload. Granted the F-14 is dramatically different than the Flanker in many ways, but the basics are similar. Same with the F-15. They were the Thicc fighters of the 80s and 90s. They can represent each other as aggressors very well.

@operationexploration9831 Год назад

in round one it looks like the pilot was not killed buy your gun run. Because when you fired your fox 2s I noticed that he started flaring. Fun video as always

@M167A1 Год назад

Like the f-15 the tomcat was worthy of continued development. Had they moved a little faster it would quite possibly have been a lot more D models and maybe some of the multi-role variance that were being discussed. It's not even completely impossible that there might have been a follow-on version as we see with the f-15ex

@smacman68 Год назад

Dude, it’s not the jet, it’s you. It’s your SA, instinct, knowledge, skill and knowing how to be a sneaky bastard. I have watched almost all your videos and that’s the common denominator. Like going up against an F15EX and almost killing it. Most of us mere mortals would have been cooked in the first 10 minutes. You took it to the merge and was one shot away from beating it. You are a beast!

@coldsteel9420 Год назад

I've seen in other videos that you don't have to manually drop the flaps, breaking the Tomcat in order to win a dogfight. You only need to do that if you want to fly one-circle, the same way you fly the Flanker or Fulcrum. If you play to the Tomcat's strengths and fly 2-circle the Tomcat would win often, especially in prolonged fights.

@IRUKANJI Год назад

Since I've thought about it, you really don't shoot an enemy plane apart with the gun. You never really get "gun kills" unless it's a pilot, engine, or flight controls hit or maybe vertical stabs. You only have to hit a wing or elevator enough times to structurally weaken it and since most of the time they're pulling hard maneuvers the wings are already at the limit almost all those kills where a wing comes off are from the aircraft maneuvering under high G. So if it's a Flanker, F-18, or F-16 take as many potshots of opportunity as possible because if one or two lucky shells hit a spar the next Cobra or 9-G turn they try to pull they're gonna rip their own wings off.

@FlyingWithSpurts Год назад

Something I think you are missing GS is that your merges with flaps broken are occurring at .5M or a tad below corner speed while your flaps up merges are all .85+. Merging between .5 and .6 M already allows you to turn ridiculously tight to jam wez's.

@kingscorpion7346 Год назад

I served in the Navy in the 80's when Tom Cruise made the movie Top Gun, and the Tomcat was an amazing aircraft to watch. When I came home from my time in the service and the F/A-18 Hornet was going out into the fleet, I said, "A... what? What's a Hornet?"

@barbaros99 Год назад

The difference when you switched to no manual wing sweep or differential thrust in Round 4 was crazy.

@michaelknightmustdie Год назад

It's amazing to watch you wring out every ounce of performance from the Tomcat, and fascinating to see how much it fights you (compared to a Viper). Also pretty sure your wings weren't fully swept in round 3?

@invertwiley1689 Год назад

I don't play this, want to but for now just enjoy GS's videos. I believe that was the round he said he wasn't going to override flaps and manual wing sweep. So my guess is they sweep automatically without that based on speed (low speed out, high speed in)

@truthseeker9454 Год назад

8:53 - GS: "If you're going to survive the dogfight you're going to have to fight the best that the aircraft can fight. Right?" Yeah, and you're going to have to blindfold, gag, and tie Jester in his seat to keep him from punching out early.
