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.

[@mictest12]

those 2nd CBUs tho?

[@macgyver186]

That would be a bit demoralizing for the guys on the ground seeing their A-10 get sniped.

[@namyun2743]

Only for the first few minutes, then the rage would kick in.

[@MandalorV7]

Most wouldn’t even realize it happened until they see the A-10 going down. There would have to be some sort of operation to recover the reck.

[@FozzieSTIlife]

That guy manning the AAA that took you out is the Turkish olympic guy. Legend has it that he didnt even aim at you.

[@Bad_Wolf_Media]

Assuming they deployed properly, he didn't have much time to celebrate it before the GBU-97s went to work.

​@@NXL269What do you expect the comments to be talking about, everyone's day? Of course the comments will spoil the video.

If the base didn't get overrun, and the Chinook got off with the CASVAC... It wasn't a "loss"

[@sharkbit1136]

Damn! That death was just sheer luck from that distance lol.

Day off he said😂 on a real note: Take however many days off you need brother, you always come up with creative missions for us to enjoy and the content is always top notch! Appreciate the effort you go through to keep us entertained.

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Thank you, always great to see the effort get noticed, I appreciate you, thanks for watching and your support.

[@JohnnyBeesh]

Noooooo! we didn't get to see the munitions go boom from the second drop. Also - cool you posted a loss too. Good vid. Love that A-10

[@justjackm8]

I absolutely love these unexpected endings where the fight doesn’t always go your way. Keep ‘em coming!

[@SamG-py7ej]

[@rlsuth]

@@SamG-py7ej That ending was perfect.

[@LancerKnight00]

If you're still taking suggestions for scenarios, a USMC beach landing being supported by a Harrier could be interesting.

[@davebartosh5]

From not a scratch to head blown off...RIP GS! haha

[@emkayusa]

Ah damn. RIP. Maybe your home town will name a square, park, or street after you.

[@iandhunt80]

Thank you for showing my old unit the Flying Tigers! Brought me back to Iraq in 2003. We did search and rescue from Talil AB. Miss the old days and the sound of the A10.

[@jkil218]

Bet u got some stories...

[@novveltech]

"That's actual triple-A. I should watch out for that." 30 seconds later, dead. LOL.

[@stevepreskitt283]

AAA: "Yes, you should."

[@sparky4878]

A head shot? Was that AAA gunner going for a platinum trophy?

[@Garian9]

"No way!" was the exact thing I said when the screen went black. My jaw was on the floor. That is one of the reasons I absolutely love your videos. No matter how many I've seen there are still so many times I'm totally surprised or shocked or both. Props to you for posting a loss.

[@hitmanct1]

That answers my question on if you could actually die by AAA. I always thought it was just for show. 😄😄

[@andersjjensen]

Make absolutely no mistake: Radio detonated AAA is very very dangerous to anything that isn't both fast AND constantly changing direction.

[@Truly_Lost]

My dad is a veteran of the US National Guard and while serving in a deployment on a mission an A-10 had mistaken a target and fired upon my dad’s squad. Definitely needed some more situational awareness

[@kuhnville3145]

CONGRATS ON THE 600K

[@porkrind3512]

Sometimes, you get the bear, and sometimes the bear gets you.

[@ProwlingHornet]

AAA is only a minor headache, especially when it enters through your skull.

[@the_jeremiah]

The Golden BB theory is real.

[@truthseeker9454]

Sho 'nuf, even sitting in a titanium bathtub. 😲

[@TheOriginalFaxon]

Damn that ending is gonna end up in the next moments of death compilation isn't it xD what a way to die. You didn't even get to see your cluster munitions round 2 go off properly

[@radustefan8945]

would be nice to see the a10's counterpart in action, the su25 or su25t

[@antilarge7860]

A low level fast flying rocket attack in a SU-25 would be really cool. Throw in some patriots/S400 and we got ourselves a cool mission

[@peatbogg3688]

And thus GS is forced to take a break. 🤣

[@MaxRuben-tt8hp]

Congratulations for your 600k!!!!!!! You really deserve it and I can't wait to see you reach 1 milion. I'm watching you for almost 3 years now and your videos are always incredible and well done. You are such an inspiration, congratulations!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Mav09]

F/A-18E/F vs F-35C (Fox-2 fight) would be epic to see! Navy vs Navy : Old vs New Day 102

[@krsanth-4142]

Even went behind the hill to 'crash and explode' like the old movies.

[@fabianggggggg]

That flare dive was badass! I also love how you integrate the other perspective to show the full action

[@subpilot1000]

He died a hero to those on that base! Maybe turning in for a look on the way out was a mistake that you wouldn't have made in real combat?!

[@atigerclaw]

The Goddess: "Back again GS? I still don't understand why you didn't choose to go to an adventurer's world. You'd have much more resistance to lethal magic than you do to modern weapons. Oh well, another respawn coming up. TRY to last more than a few sorties this time..."

[@PlutoSimulations]

Absolute incredible aircraft choice.

[@MartinSparks-ef9gr]

Hell of a catch . Splat !

[@PhillipChalabi]

More A-10 content?!? Yes please :D

[@sudeisygeresu1019]

The headshot sounded like an egg.

[@truthseeker9454]

Well, GS is pretty smart. Or was....

[@arealone9506]

I yelled "Oh Shit!" So loud it scared my cats lol Love your work. My fave KZbinr and channel.

[@TexasGTO]

Thank you for showing it. I still enjoy your videos.

[@wanderer98716]

Your flight and technical skills are astounding. The speed and accuracy of the weapons settings is the mark of an extremely high level person. Also thoroughly enjoy listening to your demeanour in the cockpit. Thank you for all your videos, the graphics are superb too. TOP CLASS WORK

[@wurfyy]

Nothing astounding about any of this. I'd say he dropped his bombs way too close to each other, they'd have been far more effective if spaced out more, and the way he died tells you all about his piloting skills.

[@stephenbrown563]

And the A-10 kept on flying and returned to base on its own... such a good boy! 😂

[@mikecrabtree8200]

For those who do. Getting in to this is great. I just enjoy watching these fine people fly these things.

[@angrydragon4574]

First time loss in an A-10. I never thought I'd see that.

[@wurfyy]

It was incredibly common in Iraq, though.

[@nooneyouknowhere6148]

The way you stopped the video as you hit the ground was greatness.

[@Ankhobo]

10:15 Every good dive bomber knows you're supposed to come in at a 70°-80° angle

[@bigdata_ibm]

The a10 just grows on you. I started knowing nothing about it and not really liking it, to being one of my favorites

[@babouras123]

I did not see this coming.

[@O5-council-III]

congrats on 600k I watched ur videos from 3 years ago, I love the Stalingrad and ww1 dog fights alot

[@phantommenace5407]

W/E I see A10 in the Thumb, I just like then watch b/c I already know its gonna be a banger!

[@james7154]

grats on 600k!

[@bridgecross]

well that was a twist

[@SomeDudeSomewhereOverThere]

USA: The A-10 is known for its rugged durabilitywith a titanium bathtub to protect the pilot. AA: Great story. Anyways..... 🎯

[@jdmac44]

I feel like in the cluster bomb scene, it needs to have Welcome to the Jungle playing just as Axl sings "you're gonna diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie!!"

[@Blueridgebully]

i'm glad you post them but i hate watching a-10's lose

[@kirkhere2711]

RIP GS. You were a good man. You will be missed. ⚰️💐

[@skunky1-1]

My jaw dropped. Glad I didn't read the comments first. Good vid.

[@OjavierMD]

Wow I did not expect that ending! Holy smokes!

[@dhooter]

Those ZSU 24-4 Shilkas are extremely dangerous. Extremely accurate AAA

[@MrErictank]

Man, I guess it's true that you can't win 'em all. That was a hell of a shot for that ZSU.

[@11bravo72]

First time I ever seen you get killed in an A-10

[@peterweller8583]

Always comes as a shock!

[@Wargasm54]

The vehicles just keep driving into the cluster munitions 😂

[@darrellseike3185]

Dude, I LOVE your channel! I would, however, like to see you produce more intricate scenarios, such as small, perhaps, three mission operations where gains and losses tally into the progression of the operation. Not, per say, in that specific description, but I hope you feel where I'm going with the multi-mission operation idea.

[@bitmanagent67]

I envisioned this was going to happen and even leaned forward on my keyboard to type, "Better climb or you will take AAA to the face. Less than 5 seconds later. PLAT

[@lukewandyg]

Love the A10 and love these mission/objective videos I’ve been binging them

[@ziepex7009]

loving the CAS content

[@TowMater603]

I love that pass or fail , he runs the sim. Sometimes you win , sometimes you die. Entertaining nonetheless.

[@Gotcha-san]

Now we need a Part II - Rescue Mission: White Hog Down

[@thewanderzone5031]

It's different to see an ending like that , adds a nice touch to the video , not all sorties are successful sorties.

[@LordHolley]

Well, I didn't see that coming......

[@DDDELAVEGA]

10:18 GS: "This is goin to be a west to east run I believe" the compass: "nope, due north bud" 😂
