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.

[@thedishonoredamerican129]

That first kill was so satisfying. Nice kill GS 🤟😂

[@VerumAdPotentia]

Does differential thrust work on the A-10?

[@firebald2915]

Thank you, GS... for all of the time and effort put into these addictive aerial battles. It's been 2 years of education and drama infused bliss for me. Rewind is my other addiction, watching you fly over and over is like watch the Flying Wallendas at the Circus. Your verbal instruction in real time as you fly is top notch ! Thank you, sir.

[@Lew_in_Renton]

I would LOVE to see what a CBU-97 would do against a swarm of Iranian attack boats boghammers! If a Strike Eagle is sufficiently high enough away from their deck guns wouldn't the CBUs (cheap at $300K each) take out at least 20 per ?

[@thystaff742]

Thanks for taking my suggestion.

[@jimrussell4062]

Just a thought... could we see an "air to ground" competition for a change, given that we ALWAYS see air to air and these are both ATTACK aircraft? Be far more interesting to see how they hit assigned targets in the exact same scenario (point strike, CAS, etc)

[@lenteboom]

This would be so cool, I'd love the A10 vs SU-25 comparison. The Battlefield 4 attack jet comparison

[@bare-footjo35]

So time trial with penalties for any targets remaining?

[@wasbaddoog9849]

Yes that would be amazing

[@hanzandfranz5337]

It's a cool idea, but I feel there would have to be a lot of limitations. Different types of aircraft have different methods of air to ground. Like the viggen, which is a move in fast and low, strike and get out. Where the a-10 is a slow and long loiter time to take out lots of targets over a larger distance. I love the idea of a-10 vs su-25 tho.

[@emmavaria]

I suspect that what you'd find is that the F-15 is more capable at high speed, high altitude, as well as in circumstances where airspace superiority has not yet been won and the ship may be required to defend itself, whereas the A-10 might be more capable at short-range precision striking individual/mobile targets, anything involving gunfire, and CAS loiter times.

[@jeffschneider9516]

I really like the back and forth between planes. Please do this more in your dogfighting matchups!

[@wurfyy]

He has explained before that it's not really always an option. The other player might not have one of the aircraft or might not be any good in it.

[@othomasJR]

The power of the Strike Eagle was displayed in the last fight, as GS basically hovers above the A-10 to bleed its energy, then rolls over for the kill. That was the best guns kill I’ve ever seen GS perform. GS… the Air Force could hire you to train pilots via simulator. Great video bro… Thank you!!!!

[@termitreter6545]

14:00 I love how the F-15E just stays nose up and stable. Despite all its issues in a dogfight, that thrust and stability augmentation looks to be amazing.

[@onegemini420]

I love seeing you switch off on aircraft. Wish you did all your duels like this.

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

ya its not always possible the other guy might not own the other aircraft or might not be good in it to the point that they feel comfortable dogfighting in it/able to put on a good show. They might even own it but have no idea how to use it. etc etc its not always as easy as just switching aircraft is what I'm trying to say I guess

[@manofchaitea6904]

Yes definitely.

[@FarkyRL]

7:15 really surprised that the pilot survived that

[@oktc68]

I'm no pilot, sim or otherwise but I've learned so much watching these videos, and enjoy every last minute of them. Nice 1 GS

[@magoid]

When you realize that there is versions of the engine that powers the A-10, that can produce 50% more thrust per engine (although they are a little bigger and heavier), you can think what increase in performance the A-10 could had got 20/30 years ago.

[@FS2K4Pilot]

You’d have to completely redesign the aircraft to handle that much more power, making it heavier and less maneuverable.

[@MustangsCanTurnToo]

@@FS2K4Pilotweight and balance come into play as well. There really isn’t a lighter engine that produces more thrust.

[@magoid]

@@FS2K4Pilot "Completely redesign" is a exaggeration. Sure you would have to reinforce it to handle the extra power, but nothing that would affect turning performance that much. For example, both the F-14 and F-16 got over 30% increase in power, and these aircraft were not "completely redesign". Also, you can de-tune a engine if you think the airframe couldn't handle all the extra power.

[@murph3194]

The A10 is such a beast. 15:20 you can actually see the landscape through the hole in his wing and it was still in fight until it finally broke off. lol Gotta love that plane. Good fight.

[@danp8491]

Thanks for explaining things you have gone over numerous times. I like that you always are very explanatory with what you’re doing and what things mean. Some creators just cater to their long time subscribers and watchers and you make your videos watchable all the time.

[@Akiyama_Yukari]

The dogfight I never knew I always wanted

[@herrzimm]

The A-10's "stability at low speeds" should give a HUGE advantage to getting "over-shoots" on passes as well as easier rolls towards/away from the 15.

[@Rhinozherous]

I learned so much about Dogfight just from watching your VS videos! Thank you!

[@Mark_Williams.]

Great to see you switching aircraft in these match ups. Let's us see the strengths and weaknesses of both aircraft and how they need to be flown. Also, thanks for explaining "jamming the WES" I've seen many of your video's but I've never quite understood what that term meant. Keep up the good work!

[@madmarauder9925]

I was a Aircraft Armament Systems Specialist in the A.F. and I worked both the A10 and 15E so this was super fun to watch .... did you do an A10 and SU 25 already?

[@wurfyy]

He's done that more than once.

[@rring44]

I really want to see GS do some IL-2 dogfights. My favorite matchups in a a dogfight are maybe the Yak9/Spitfire Mk9 vs 109 F4/G2, Spitfire Mk9 vs G14, I-16/Hurricane vs 109 E7, P51 vs 109 K4 or G14, Spitfire Mk14 vs 109 K4 or even P51. The IL-2 1941 can be a fun dogfighter, it kinda feels like these A10 dogfights. I beat my buddy in a 109K4 in an IL-2 1941 the other day, he was so mad lol

[@deanlawson6880]

What a great dogfighting video! Just awesome! Pretty sure your superb skill and effectiveness in each of the planes comes through and it makes little difference which plane you are in even though they are so very very different! Love that awesome rudder-kick over-the-top dogfighting move in the F-15 against the A-10 - So awesome!!

[@RodrigoLobosChile]

I saw that last missile coming and swear I didn't have time to eject.... Beautiful video, great pilots, such a pleasure.

[@sn4rl277]

Great 4 round dog fight. Been away from your channel for a time, just now getting back to it. Thanks for showing how us how playing to the aircraft strengths can make all the difference.

[@belikumari6893]

Thanks to you also GS for making a long video👍👍👍👍 and even shows both prospective of planes.

[@andyfarrow7337]

Love your enthusiasm for a dogfight, whatever the aircraft. Can you/do you use differential thrust with the A10, even with its half-engines? As they are set well off the centreline, I imagine you'd get quite an effect.

[@MustangsCanTurnToo]

You also need some thrust to make an effect 😬

[@blahblah49000]

The window in which such a maneuver could be useful is very small, and those engines take time to spool up and down.

[@spudmajic]

it has more than enough rudder control to not really need differential thrust.

[@andyfarrow7337]

Thanks for the explanations.

[@TNTom67890]

What would be interesting is a best of 5, 1v1. Where each sides chooses one of 7 aircraft to bring in against an unknown bandit. Each person has the same pool of aircraft.

[@Acrophobia2]

He has done bandit unknown! (It’s similar to what you said)

[@localracer]

Best of 1 5v5!

[@stryker1999]

I mostly watched this because I'm a petulant old kid and didn't want to go to bed. If you're bored or run out of air to air mashups to try, I wish you'd do more missions like your string of A-10 videos. Those were fantastic. You don't have the luxury of every place on the planet to work with, but you could do Israeli strike missions and Israeli air defense against Iranian and / or Russian forces in Syria, Saudi defense from Iran, Ukraine / NATO vs Russia, Russian incursion on Poland, NATO fighter escort of bombers on Russia, defend NATO from Russian strikes, defense of Taiwan from China, South vs North Korea (if possible)... how about working on these? Have Longshot and others join in. Love the channel, long time sub.

[@SneakyFishy]

Your aerial gunnery skill, shown again and again, to die for... literally

[@carloberetta6305]

The A-10’s engines are so weak that the Fox 2 probably struggled to find them 😂

[@PhantomP63]

“Know your aircraft and you will win every dogfight” GS, “The Art of Airwar”

[@aerotorc]

The Mudhen feels similar to the Viggen to me (though much nicer to fly) - if you can’t get it done in one or two turns you’re better off running away at the speed of heat behind the nearest terrain feature then turning back in…

[@Grilled-Cheese-Obama-Sandwich.]

Man, i love this guy he uploads very often and all content is interesting af. just saw that i wasnt subbed, now i am way to go on the 500k king.

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Thank you and thanks for subbing. Appreciate it.

[@abhinavmathur5648]

“Nicked his tail”. A 10 Balboa voice, “I don’t hear no bell GS, come on one more round”

[@caleblarsen5490]

The body shots in the first round are like what Obi-wan did to Grievous. Freaking crazy dude.

[@WinVisten]

"Fall out of the sky like a sack of potatoes", I LOVE IT!

[@icaleinns6233]

Absolutely love these totally different dog fights with 2 aircraft that are not fighters. Keep 'em coming!

[@WinVisten]

The F-15E IS a fighter, it's a strike fighter, it's even in the name, STRIKE Eagle. It's a fighter with a secondary air-to-ground role.

[@icaleinns6233]

@@WinVisten I beg to differ, but it's primary mission is ground strike, NOT air superiority. It is NOT a dogfighter. Calling it a fighter is like calling an F-117 a "fighter".

[@Keep3r1438]

@@icaleinns6233The F-15E still retains its air-to-air capability even though it is a strike fighter.

[@icaleinns6233]

@@Keep3r1438 I never said it didn't. What I said was it is not an air superiority fighter. If you try hard enough, an A-10 has air-to-air capability. It can carry Sidewinders, after all.

[@abstractedaway]

Great dogfight! I love seeing these strike craft pushed to their limits, and it's extra fun seeing an A-10 or Harrier pull something out of its bag of tricks to teach a faster plane a lesson.

[@jamison884]

15:25 I just love it when you finish guys off.

[@mbmann3892]

Imagine looking up at this battle and seeing the A-10 come out with a W.

[@taxfraud853]

I’m in Switzerland right now and this morning I had witnessed two hornets engage in a mock dogfight right above me. I was thinking it would be cool if you hopped in the hornet for a video.

[@GM-fh5jp]

Awesome episode mate. You'll have war movie producers calling you any day now :)) Some of that cinematography was cutting edge stuff .

[@justsmallstuff4994]

Love it when GS uploads

[@kaseyrobbins753]

this video was sick, that border dispute bvr fight you did yesterday between the f-16 and the mirage-2000-5 was one of the best fights I have ever watched. What a chess match keep those coming! Best content on youtube..thank you for making a video everyday.

[@keithhoss4990]

Well, at least they’re kind of both CAS aircraft but anyone with a brain knew how this was going to go. 😳😂

[@Acrophobia2]

Commented a little early there did ya?😂

[@mrprodigy7143]

It’s not so much about the plane it’s about the pilot and GS prove that every single video he makes

[@lorka42]

I appreciates you for the longer vijeo, its nice to have more than one round, especially with two foes that you would think would be very unevenly matched.

[@kenhelmers2603]

Luv the longer videos! Thanks GS

[@danrieke9988]

You are the best at what you do, man. I need and want the late-night distraction from the issues of the real world.

[@waltersimmons3712]

Well, the a10 has the Brt, but the strike eagle has the actual ground attack capabilities

[@therocinante3443]

Lol oof

[@mutingp]

Oof thats a brun

Brrrrrrt

[@NikeaTiber]

That kill in round one was so dirty. I love it.

[@dat_guy]

Loved the hammerhead at the end

[@HereticsRight]

I'd like to see the F15E vs some older planes just to see how it stands up vs more limited competition, maybe the Mirage F1 or F5?

[@whalehands]

Toxic always gives you great fights. 10:10 he pulled a Raptor in the Hog! 12:13 is a cool shot!

You blow my mind man! Amazing work

[@peterweller8583]

That Fox 2 is actually tracking a moment of silence please.

[@scotta8189]

@GrowlingSidewinder, A-10 will preserve energy longer if you ride the steady/chopped tone. Chopped tone can put you in stall/engine disturbance area and not realize it until its too late!

[@svbeezy403]

Thank you, really enjoyed this one too.!

[@paulblack5883]

Wright Brothers flyer vs Viper...do it!

[@Barcodum]

AV-8B vs A-10. Now there’s a dogfight I’d like to see.

[@ilikeyacutg2802]

BF3 and BF4 themes bring me back, great video as always

[@candy_de]

very interesting video, to be honest, as i saw the title and thumbnail, i just thought the a10 would smoke the eagle in a dogfight, but as in the video, you can actually defeat an a10 in a bfm fight with an eagle which is kind of surprising for me. great video, thank you for the content💛

[@grisslebear]

re: Toxic's R3 ejection: I think he's like Cotton Hill now. His ankles are now where his knees were.

[@ohalrighthen4301]

Never thought a video of flying can opener and bomb truck can be so entertaining. Nice one!

[@nonamesplease6288]

That min radius one circle turn was known as the 'Warthog Stomp'.

[@gonnabeadoctorsoon2]

Thank you for another great video. I appreciate you appreciating me.

[@PvtPartzz]

Was really hoping for the A10’s warning beeps would turn into Darude Sandstorm. We were so close to greatness.

[@Ob1sdarkside]

That was a savage tutorial in speed control and using your aircrafts strengths to your advantage

[@savagehobo8427]

Can you please do an A10 vs F16 guns only dogfight?

[@JustWild-k7g]

I love these A-10 dogfights so much :)

[@gamehulk]

Every time a new module comes out: Me: "Screw that man, I'm not buying a new module until I learn the last one." A week after the module comes out: Also me: "OMG that thing is freaking beautiful. I NEED IT!"

[@Anarchy_420]

7:23 That's why it's "The Flying Tank" sure the wing was shredded however the Pilot was safe despite the carnage put directly upon him! Lol imagine a small Plane made of Tungsten Tetraboride! Lmao it wouldn't need a gun, could just ram targets like The XP-79 and Lippisch P13! it'd definitely have to be smaller bc of wait and materials😆👍

[@RockMountainYJ]

Imagine if you will an aircraft with the guns of an A10, the radar of the F15, and the stealth of the F22.

[@RockMountainYJ]

@@RW-zn8vy ugly but effective.

[@shaunfosmark]

Watching the A10 get a missle kill on an f15 was oddly satisfying

[@chalkbos]

4-1 it's not the aircraft, but the pilot! you are too good man!

[@rohithsingh-ik5kq]

I bestow upon you,good sir,the title of “THE WING REMOVER”

[@gregiep]

Love this! I’ve been asking everyone to do a Warthog v Strike Eagle

[@CharlesHuse]

Sooooo..... if the pilot of a high tech/high performance aircraft on par with the Strike Eagle is gunned down by a Warthog using the cannon survives, do they just wander off into the woods and stay there? Because I'd think if they walked back to base, they'd be like mopping the runway in the rain for the next year before they get another plane.

[@EnviroRico]

Always enjoy the A-10 videos!

[@michaelknightmustdie]

There's nothing more satisfying than an A-10 gun kill.

[@KyleSchwanz]

Can we get a f15c vs f15e dogfight? Would be interested in seeing how much better the c is than the E.

[@larsgottlieb]

What this shows is that it's a lot about pilot skill. It's impressive that you can do so well in so many different planes - but then I guess this thing Is your job?

[@sogerc1]

I was so cheering for a flawless victory but not so easy against Toxic. And I very much enjoy the switching around.

[@vincebermudez869]

I believe you could fly a weather Ballon and beat the su57....good job sir.

[@bigcomputerman4482]

The F-15E is a beautiful module, however I hate the Vulcan sound from outside. It literally sounds the same as in the cockpit which makes no sense.

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

ya probably a placeholder for now, but I think it sounds great from the inside at least.

Day 11 of asking if you can do a bvr fight in the f22 where you sneak up behind ur enemy and kill him without him knowing it.

[@foczastafomka5502]

he had that done to him while flying a flanker, would be funny if he got to return the favor lol

Beautiful first round !!!

[@Teko_jr]

Love these videos man it inspires me to get a pc and all the equipment to get in dcs keep it up bro!!!!

[@adamdgriffinatgmail]

Since they're both strike aircraft another contest could be to see which one could strike the most ground targets in a single pass of a highway of death scenario.

[@revodrvr]

Thank god for that titanium tubb. He was almost swiss cheeezzz

[@HitAndMissLab]

You should do this one: because A-10 has 10+ many weapon mounting stations, far more then A-15, you should load it with as many infra-red air-to-ari missiles and then go into a visual range dogfight with F-15 or F-14. Idea being that A-10 can run salvos of IR missiles at "dog fighter" aircraft.

[@benjaminhuberty5888]

Nex fight. " Nighthawk vs b1 bomber" all jokes aside, nice videos

[@simeonzdravkov9867]

Im calling this one "the battle of the bricks" :) Love both aircraft but for different reasons ... brrrrrrr
