1950-2020 Jet Aircraft BVR Aerial Fights Through The Decades | DCS

[@timothyparrucci809]

I bought youtube premium to specifically listen to your videos at work. It's like listening to a football game on the radio, and here you are releasing a video just in time for me to watch after my lunch break

[@grimreapers]

Nice!

[@anthonyhannah4893]

You guys should do a bracket tournament of the top 8-12 planes and BVR and see what planes comes out on top, then another same format but did fight. This video was awesome.

[@madaxe606]

What an awesome video - super fun! . I think Cap made an astute observation about the RedFor guys being used to crappy missiles - you can really see it when Amraam/HMCS guys dip their toes into the Cold War servers and underestimate the ability of veteran MiG-21 drivers to get in close and knife-fight despite having a potato-tier RWR.

[@exidy-yt]

These dogfights can get insanely intense to watch! Really enjoyed this 'historical' dogfights through the ages. Damn Elden Ring for sucking in my gametime, I'm looking at my HOTAS in guilt right now, I really should be practicing, but I'll have to let the Grim Reapers supply me my DCS fix for now. Thanks for doing so!

[@primeministerprinz2695]

[@mrlodwick]

Thank you Capt and crew.

[@sulyokpeter3941]

Amazing video guys! Love your content! :D But I missed from this video the MiG31 and the Eurofighter/Rafale/Gripen

[@antongrahn1499]

The Mig 15 is a really good module tbh. High quality, simple systems and the biggest aircraft gun in DCS. The Museum Relic campaign is real good too!

[@whatshaploing8256]

I wish they would add the F-106 Delta Dart. I would pay full price for that module. It was incredibly ahead of its time and could be remote piloted after takeoff by ground control and the fastest jet at the time. Delta wing and an internal weapons bays that could launch its weapons - the first air to air guided missiles. Introduced in 1959.

[@goodboy1269]

Or just take a gander at Jinx's dcs blender tutorial and do it yourself. We believe in you!!

[@terryboyer1342]

WhatsHaplo'ing I remember as a young kid outside playing and suddenly being jolted by the sharp sonic booms of 106s in mid Michigan in the early 60s. You never saw them but sure heard and felt them!

[@Milesstout]

No f4 phantom?

[@DemonHippo266]

Can we have a Grim Reapers Air Show showing off all the airplanes in DCS?

[@stephenfowler4115]

I don't know how DCS modeled the mig-25 but it wasn't a dogfighter. It was limited to 3.5 g's.

[@lukagg998]

more like 6gs and pilots break those limits often

[@stephenfowler4115]

@@lukagg998 it's been long enough that I don't remember when or where I read that number but the mig-25 was designed for high altitude and high speed. Not turning and burning. The last mig-25 that was shot down was over Israel at 100,000 feet with a Hawk missile.

[@xxtherevlukexx]

I have to agree. I think something was wrong with the SU-57 in that last fight. Also you called Fox-2 the first time and fired an AMRAM by mistake (which happens when you fly 5+ planes back to back.) Had that been the 9X the pilot would have taken it to the face and been dead. But like you said at the beginning it was all for a bit of fun, and I had fun watching it. Which is all that really matters. Great fun video. I hope you guys enjoyed doing the stuff as much as I enjoyed watching it.

[@devvytm]

Clearly that was the Su-25. What are you talking about? Your eyes were simply playing tricks on you 😜🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@meanman6992]

American, not mad. Pilots make a huge difference.

[@karlasmith]

Dog fighting in the 1950s…wait until your opponent flies into the ground.

[@CrstnJdiKnight]

Now that's funny. 🤣

[@Anarchy_420]

I was hoping ALL Airplanes OF THEIR TIME would be fighting at same time..? For instance The MIG-19 and MIG-21 fighting together at same time..??

[@RTS907]

That was Grrrreat Cap and Reapers!

[@wrighttherealist1109]

This episode gave me another idea for a video. How about a multi timeline squadron dogfight or battle of sort. A mixture of craft from all generations on each faction. Wonder who would come out on top. 🤔

[@tatenapier7365]

Pretty good vid gentlemen. You all need to take on Growling Sidewinder and Longshot and maybe Killa that would be a good fight

[@ronindanbo]

No EE Lightening?

[@SuperJeb98]

WOW the flanker is waaaay bigger then I though! 1:30

[@Anarchy_420]

For The 70's would have been cool af if you added additionally The F-111 Aardvark and MIG-27K! And 2000's additionally F-15EX and SU-35! Oh and 50's additionally F4U Corsair! ;)

I am an American, I am not upset. Keep making great content, thank you.

[@FelixstoweFoamForge]

Ahhhh, I can see the immediate problem with the mig 15 @10:22; The pilots were not supplied with heads. Explains the kill ratio over Korea right there.

[@Eo_Tunun]

The Sixties without F-4, F-104, Mirage III or Lightning? Bristol Buccaneer? Harrier? Skyhawk? Just wimpy trainers and French strike fighters against top of the line interceptors?

[@yereverluvinuncleber]

Where the feck are the Vampires. Hunters, Lightnings, Tornadoes and Typhoons?

[@madaxe606]

The F-5's AIM-9P5 is definitely NOT a 1960's missile. All aspect sidewinders werent a thing until 1977 with the AIM-9L.

[@hemendraravi4787]

Yea

[@memelephant]

The F-14B was also made in the 70s, introduced in '74 but first flown in '70

[@WTFBODY]

It seems terrible to have a good MiG 21 and F5, but not a good F4. the F4 has seen soooo much more use. BUT... it only had a minor role in Top Gun.

[@roentgen571]

The problem with including the Su-57 is that it's not in wide manufacture. There's like a dozen of them made, and they're almost all significantly different from one plane to the next because they're all essentially prototypes. The F22 and F35 are in active service, in the score and even hundreds, across multiple air forces around the world. The F22 and F35 are the real deal, while the Su-57 is a pipe dream.

[@Rover200Power]

The biggest problem is the mod is dodgy as fuck.

[@cassius_eu5970]

The Su-57 is in active service so it's completely fine to include it.

[@goodboy1269]

Cap and the Reapers. I want to tall about the Grinelli F-22 and Air-to-Ground Mode capabilities. Does it include it, what obstacles are there to adding this function?

[@timblack6422]

It’s a great day!

[@tomsoki5738]

If English Electric Lightnings are in the game I would love to see a simulated Soviet bomber attack on a V-Bomber base with the Lightnings and Bloodhounds protecting the base

[@zsavage1820]

From what I know (read) the Mig could climb faster and go higher and even turn sharper, but in battles the F-86 ended up with a higher kill ratio... so to me, that means better pilots .. ?

[@leongao5120]

the f86 has better one circle but worse 2 circle and a g suit

[@Drobbik]

Yeah, north korean pilots weren't exactly the sharpest tools for the MiG.

[@Archer89201]

Fresh North Korean and Chinese pilots vs veteran allied pilots including several aces from ww2. The veteran soviet pilots had a decent kill ratio against the allies and many kill counts use Sabre vs MiG losses forgetting that MiGs shot down several bombers, attack aircraft and other fighters both piston and jet powered not just Sabres, and so they were also downed by other planes too

[@rapdfire-9175]

The F86 also had a range adjusting gun sight.

[@joshuabowen5617]

The russians swcreted experienced pilots down that flew too. One sabre advantage was the cockpit was pressurized. The mig would fog up and cause visiblity issues. As mentioned gsuits helped with Hugh g maneuvers as well.

[@iristhompson2350]

Why did you not use the F4 instead of the F5?

[@christopherjohnson529]

/Pedant mode on. These weren't all "BVR Aerial Fights". The F-86/MiG-15 and MiG-21/F-5 fights were all WVR only. The first BVR engagement was actually the Tomcats vs the MiG-25s. Loved the concept of this video and would welcome more like it. But maybe just label it "Jet Aircraft Fights Through the Decades". /Pedant mode off.

I can't wait for the day 6th gen fighters get added. (They have to be made and declassified first obviously lol)

Cracky! I'm glad this was just for fun and not for actual , realistic action . I can see several flaws in this made up scenario. You blokes need to run few rounds of the most common type of fighters of each era for a more accurate outcome. Just me thinking here. ^_=

Where is the F4 Phantom 1958 and entered service 1961 and the F8 Crusader 1955, "If you are out of F8's you are out of Fighters".????? Are they not in the game? Seriously a Mirage and a Tiger while good aircraft have nothing on a F8 or a F4 for that matter. :) Or did i miss something here?

[@rory5881]

Try Su 47

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

If those were humans in those Mig 25's and not AI it would have been much easier for the Tomcats. You know how horrible the SA is in that beast. Visibility is for shit and it turns like a cruise ship at low level. Plus the Blue's were robbed several times. That Phoenix going to the moon when it was a very high probability shot was one, the other was the AI knows all, even if the radar can't see them, the computer still knows where everything is. The only way to make it fair is to drop the skill level of the AI to Rookie. Then it will act like a normal human to a degree
