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!

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

[@CrstnJdiKnight]

Now that's funny. 🤣

[@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.

[@cherryperoxide]

more like 6gs and pilots break those limits often

[@stephenfowler4115]

@@cherryperoxide 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.

No f4 phantom?

[@mrlodwick]

Thank you Capt and crew.

American, not mad. Pilots make a huge difference.

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! ;)

[@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..??

[@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 😜🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@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!

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@sulyokpeter3941]

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

[@yasinamr5457]

cool stuff

[@Linska495th]

Nice video

[@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.

[@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. 🤔

[@ronindanbo]

No EE Lightening?

[@yereverluvinuncleber]

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

[@RTS907]

That was Grrrreat Cap and Reapers!

[@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

[@iristhompson2350]

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

[@Davros-vi4qg]

No F4 in game 😢

[@tatenapier7365]

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

37:20 I AM AMERICAN. I AM UPSET. 'MURICA

[@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.

It’s a great day!

Where o where do you get the Raptor?? I DL the F35 mod but it wont let me fly it no mater what I do, and the Felon handles like hell and goes into overG blackout spin in level flight or is so sluggish to controls its impossible to keep airborne. Is the F22 a free mod or paid?

[@daviddunster9305]

I thought it was Chuck Yeager that almost rammed you.

[@memelephant]

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

[@sleat]

Early Sidewinders should rather be called "WideSenders" since "missing wide" (when sent) seems to be their thing.

[@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?

[@UkDave3856]

[@gwizdolby]

Love you guys. Just FYI uncle same is a bit behind in some respects but it's not in electronic warfare. Question I have is do you think it will ever be properly modeled into DCS? Not trying be critical just wanted Your opinions is all.

are the mig29/su27 using r27 er/et ? they are 1985 missile while the initial version r27r/t is 83.

3:58 True! The soviets didn't have a good Air-to-Air Missile until they captured a Sidewinder on an incident involving Taiwanese Sabres and Chinese MiGs. Their first AAM was a copy of that sidewinder, the K-13

[@grimreapers]

Yup I will abuse the Hell out of this with China vs Australia.

[@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.

[@CrstnJdiKnight]

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. ^_=

[@TechWizard28]

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

[@cherryperoxide]

[@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.

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
