Thanks to all the Grim Reapers, flight team and the coders beavering away in the background making these missions and the videos of them incredibly entertaining to watch and far more realistic then any other DCS videos out there! All the best of 2023 to you all, it can only get better! 🎉

[@Utubesuperstar]

Cap: this is going to be easy! Also cap: fires a fox 2 into the sun and turns off an amraam before it goes pitbull and let’s himself get shot by a warbird by going hella slow lol This wouldn’t have been as entertaining if you just went full sweat mode never change!

[@5Andysalive]

Warbirds love to come out of the sun. So it makes perfect sense to shoot it down!

[@exidy-yt]

These guys just have so much goddamn fun with these missions. 😂

[@Utubesuperstar]

@@5Andysalive it’s a good strategy for any fighter lol but yeah the moment I saw him cue up a fox 2 while facing directly into the sun I said yep that’s gonna miss

[@roadiewcam]

Can a F-22 beat nine warbirds? Yes. Can a GR pilot in a F-22 defeat 9 warbirds? No.

[@2BachShakur]

This is actually one of my favorite things to do in DCS. Just taking a modern jet up against multiple WW2 prop planes. Helps you appreciate how far technology has come yet how formidable the WW2 birds can be.

[@klafsen]

It's been a fun year, Wargames 33 (Battle Of Kasserine Pass) was my first video and I've watched since then! I really love the new(er) vs old(er) stuff type videos! Looking forward to future bangers!

[@TheCaptainbeefylog]

These missions remind me of playing Chuck Yeager's Air Combat in the 90s. Flying an F-4 against Messerschmitts etc. Extend, turn in and drop one or two in a pass then repeat.

[@steveturner3999]

I absolutely loved that game. Bought my first computer just to play that game.

[@davidcanoy8579]

Would love to see more pairs, v Warbirds with Kortana's crew added, and change up the modern jets by generations. I think it would make a nice series showing the evolution of effectiveness... AND you all seem to enjoy this set up.

[@voradfils]

cap is getting smarter with the vertical. no need for afterburner if you avoid loops. climb in a lazy spiral @ M0.85 and you're golden. ammo is the limiting factor.

Warbirds vs. F-16, maybe. Especially a Mustang, Spitfire, Bf-109, and FW-190. Bonus points for a P-47, and P-38(If available)!!!

[@ryanpayne7707]

Hey Cap, I did some quick research and the price of each warbird, as produced in 1945, adjusted for inflation is as follows: P-51: $843,266 P-47: $1,405,642 Spitfire: $490,511 Bf-109: $283,817 I couldn't find a price for the 190.

That's cheap for what you get in the 109 Edit: but probably different economic surroundings then in Germany compared to GB and the USA.

[@Gunfreak19]

How does cap break the Mustang so fast, after the engine updates the last few months, the P51 engine actually takes quite a bit of punishment, same with Spit.

[@grimreapers]

It's one of my God-given talents...

[@drrocketman7794]

The M3 .50 caliber machine gun was not really used during WW2, it was mostly jet age. (Rex's Hangar YT channel) but the M2 aircraft configuration was used almost exclusively for guns in US planes. It has a higher rate of fire (600 rpm) than the M2HB (heavy barrel) used on trucks, tanks, and tripod mounts for infantry.

[@elijah_9392]

Loved the video! But I think it would have made more sense to use a 4th generation jet aircraft designed for dog fighting. The F-16 and Su-35 come to mind. Great video nonetheless!

[@c0ldyloxproductions324]

I mean the raptor was designed to take the f15s abilities of bvr, and close combat and double it in capabilities in both categories

[@emmata98]

4:00 why do you change the radar mode here? Warbirds don't have an RWR, so you could DL the missile in

[@SeedOfElijah]

Mad skilz plus a bay full of luck describes Cap in that universe. Is accurate IRL? Also a big kid whose enthusiasm is contagious. Now that's enough of that. Happy New Year

This is close to a swarm of Sky Wardens vs a 5th gen, but I bet it would be a lot more interesting if those ww2 birds were data linked in with an AWACS and had their own sidewinders to shoot at the Raptor 😂

[@stevenlarratt3638]

In the Raptor we would fly as a double, one at 40k feet, look down radar. One down low doing s turns until a visual is seen, then low would go high, and vice versa. Take out the hot engine in a climb.

This one looks exciting! before I even saw the video.

[@clangerbasher]

Thanks. Cheered me up. 😄

[@The340king]

Taking the battle high was going to be an advantage. Of course, with thrust vectoring it would be the Marianas Turkey Shoot. I wonder if the game programming isn’t setup for missile damage on the War Birds. My guess is they would absolutely explode if shot in real life.

[@The340king]

@Cancer McAids my assumption is that thrust vectoring works at any speed to aid in maneuverability. If it reduced the turn radius at any speed it might be an advantage in a turn fight. The biggest issue was the numerical superiority. There simply wasn't a way to kill that ratio. Good video and good discussion. Thanks!

[@egoalter1276]

A warbird's fuselage is mostly filled with empty air and duralumin structural framing. Blowing holes throigh it wont deal any significant damage unless you hit the engine, the pilot, or set the fueltanks on fire. The most danger a missile poses to them is probably from the shockwave potentially sending them into a spin.

[@Icarusabove]

Right off the start at 2:45, I would have gone vertical. Very cheesy but the service ceiling of the raptor would be way higher than the warbirds.

[@brannanjohnson4046]

Hahaha, what fun! Good video. Love the love for the warbirds!

[@waynesworldofsci-tech]

Really silly idea, but what about trying WW1 planes? I’m curious if the game would allow a radar lock on a stringbag.

[@Jordansim]

That was really entertaining.

[@5Andysalive]

I think "he's using fuel" is a pretty safe bet.

[@darkguardian1314]

With those advantages the only thing that could defeat a Raptor is fuel, amount of ammo and over confidence of the pilot to manage the swarm. Swarming maybe the tech of the future. Thousands of cheap drones would be difficult to defeat like Star Trek Beyond.

I decided to do some silly look up: A P-51D Mustang in today's dollars sells for 590 grand if you bought it off the production line. Back then, that translates to 51 grand roughly in 1945 dollars. A dollar went a LONG way back then.

[@TheAmbex]

I was really wanting Fly to get Simba by the end lol

[@trusstingod]

Now do WWI vs. WWII

[@seanmataya2290]

Can you shoot down falling satelights like the f15 did?

[@timwf11b]

A real F-22 vs 9 WWII era warbirds should be a baby seal clubbing event. You would get close to one kill per missile, and the first warning the warbirds get would be when at least one off them blows up (after being fired out from dozens of miles away). Even with with guns the F-22 is much faster level, diving, or climbing, and has better situational awareness with radar. so it could just pick its angle and pick off the warbirds. Also on a it could take more damage than any of the warbirds (which doesn't seem to be modeled well in DCS) and can dish out more damage even with just its cannon.

[@ryandugal]

What you needed was a fully loaded F15. Then the war birds are f’d.

[@BSJWright]

Saw the F-22 dogfighting Spitfires on the Growling Sidewinder channel. Looked like it was quite easy for the F-22, not sure I've seen him against a Mustang though

[@kneex6988]

Any one can tell how to trun on voice warnings? I dont hear them and i dont know why.

[@grimreapers]

It's an option somewhere in the main game options.

[@Arloashean]

Was there a rule against Me262s? Perhaps not a "warbird" although WWII vintage. Would probably get outmanoeuvred though... Epic!

[@jeroenk3570]

I would appreciate it if you could show what would happen if this was a real encounter without all the limitations and with modern tactics and systems. Would a swarm still win?

[@jrwickersham]

Hell, forget the F22. Bring out a Super Tucano set for “fireball,” or “knife fight.” What’s the modern USAF prop trainer?? That would be an interesting match. I visit San Antonio, TX, on the regular, and they do have those vintage lines, albeit with a modern engine. I would gladly pitch some Patreon $$ or ££ to see this occur!

[@Darthybuddy]

Irl this fight would be a turkey shoot. The 22 would just hang out and fire amraams from 30 miles away. Then if they ran out, they would just turn around and run to re-arm.

[@MrNoobed]

Nice vid cap

[@subjectc7505]

This pretty much proves with pilot skills anything can fight anything 🤷🏽‍♂️. Hell it's an A-10 with a F-22 Mark on its nose from an exercise.

[@LaYarddog]

In a modern fight with no restrictions, the warlords would not stand a chance. Each would be taken out from miles away by a missle.

[@xenaguy01]

Could the Raptor stay at 50,000 and fire fox3's til gone, then do zoom passes?

[@wolf06291980]

I was just going to say the same thing! Why on earth the Raptor pilot would tangle with the warbirds is beyond me. I feel the correct strat here is to nuke the birds form orbit then boom and zoom guns. The other option is to fire fox3s from the soup so it masks the smoke trail. Radar is your friend.

[@grimreapers]

Technically yes but it's REAL hard to find the targets looking down from high.

[@xenaguy01]
