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.

You can't tell us the falling leaf fight would probably look great from the ground, and then not show us the hornet fight from the ground 🤣

[@keithincomics6102]

I was watching this in the break room at work with headphones on and as I get sucked into the video and my face gets closer to my phone and then I nearly jumped out of my chair when that KIA moment happened. These videos can be kinda hypnotic at times, way more tense and exciting than most aviation movies.

[@carsonlacey7974]

That bullet sound makes me jump EVERY time without fail

[@itsdokko2990]

LOL that startled me too, so that's what dying in combat feels like...

[@Four-zp8jf]

those KIAs nearly always have that effect on me

[@eric97909]

I knew it was coming and it still got me

[@223556762308]

[@dm1i]

Those sudden KIAs are sometimes like jump scares from a horror game.

[@clairecelestin8437]

Yeah, I jumped right out of my skin

[@stinkyfungus]

More like a snuff film...

[@hubril7921]

Its actually cool that your opponent is also utilizing the differential thrust, as visible from the first fight

[@carloberetta6305]

That wail of the Hornet in high AoA is such an iconic sound. If the Stuka siren is the stereotypical sound of a dive then I think that the sound of the Hornet in tight turns is becoming the icon of a dogfight

[@lonkfrompennsylvania4274]

I have been very disjointed about this but I am adamant in my quest to see a spitfire vs p-51 dogfight. I think it would be really cool to see the ww2 planes fight. Also great video growling. Keep it up

[@9999AWC]

Spitfire would most likely have the advantage.

[@TexasGreed]

@@9999AWC I think the mustang has to try to stay fast and not get sucked into an agressive turn fight, it can build energy and climb better and has better guns for long range shooting. The spitfire has to play the mustangs speed against it and use its better turn performance to get the mustang low and slow where it will outperform. Just my opinion anyway.

[@charlienash1050]

It feels good for us Iranians to get represented in these videos. Thank you. Great fight.

I can’t wait for the history stuff you’re killing it GS.

[@beatboxbuggi6884]

The hornet’s gotta be one of the only 4 gen fighters that could pull off those turns at those speeds for that amount of time

[@PhycoKrusk]

Several of the Sukhois can do it too, particularly the derivatives of the Su-27. The F-16 might be able to (but won't be happy about it). Otherwise though, you're right; there don't seem to be that many that can.

[@mintman825]

I think the head of the pilot popped.. the sound effect + one of the rounds hitting the cockpit exactly where the head was

[@ArmaSti]

Nice Video. I was never a fan of the Hornet and didn't like the fact that Canada was using them...but man is this plane starting to grow on me.

[@kgjung2310]

Doesn't differential thrust have more impact the further the two engines are separated from each other? If so, the Hornet's effect would be minimal at best.

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Yes that’s one of the reasons why it’s not as effective on the hornet.

[@ex0ghost837]

Yes

[@OnceShy_TwiceBitten]

@@GrowlingSidewinder Did you mean NOT as effective? lol

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

@@OnceShy_TwiceBitten yes sorry thats what I meant

Oh, I'm exited then. Thanks for your work! And that goes for all of the work you do, not just this special project.

[@saltyb2119]

Thanks GS for giving us the heads up about the posting frequency. I think I speak for all of us in saying no matter how often its a treat seeing new videos show up. Thanks for having us in mind with your project. Also glad to hear you're well and it's been due in part of a project. Cheers

[@avramnovorra]

Been a while i could watch DCS content, damn i love it when a Hornet and a Flanker duke it out.. and god the howl the Hornet makes at certain angles like the external shots in rounds 2-4, love that too! Now i wonder: what historical content is coming up?? That makes me pumped

[@RMK67]

Yes mate, really enjoy the history you add to the vlogs 👍 keep it coming

[@maverickmissile801]

Very cool scenario.. can't wait to hear about this new project too!

[@Will_Abner]

I think a lot of people forget that the Hornets are a multi-role fighter and for that it holds its own EXTREMELY well for it being one against other fighter aircraft

[@kodyzachmann]

It’s a blast to work w f18s and f35s to watch how much raw power their engines have and launching them

[@Joshj963]

I'm looking forward to your new project!can't wait to see what you're putting together.

[@connie.shearer5210]

I suspect that the F-14 & F-15 can make good use of differential thrust due to the spatial separation of the engines, which, on the FA-18, is so much less.

[@apipp]

Yes! More History/Docu series!

[@krustdogg131]

Excited for this project you speak of!

[@evo3s75]

this is awesome, you could see the Su-35 was also using differential thrust xD

Round 4, pilot already bailed and you still kill the aircraft. Love it.

[@TexasGreed]

your control is so clean and smooth, perfect placemen. You make this shit look easy. That other guy is good too.

[@TheOneWhoMightBe]

Some of these manuevers gives new meaning to 'reach out and touch somebody'.

[@ashergreenfield4180]

It would be cool to see a couple rounds with a display measuring your inputs for stick throttle and rudder.

[@paulcooper9011]

Thinking about the design of the airframe, the SU-35 would probably be a better aircraft. The additional canards of the SU-30 may have offered some benefits but not enough for the original airframe. All in all a great vid.

[@BroPatOC]

Looking forward to the history content you were teasing! Feel free to throw in some space nerd stuff there too.

[@brianwright9514]

In the last fight, it looked like the Flanker's left AB was out right at the moment you shot him. I wonder if he was trying a differential thrust move with flight controls off and it departed right as you shot him, then you caused enough damage that he wasn't able to recover it.

[@starlingphoenix9683]

When your pilot got gunned I jumped in my seat from being startled xD

[@LackaLackaLacka]

Man that was so cool., great job!

[@maxspezialbauag9745]

The wight smoke in the last round might have been his thrustvector controll unit or something. On the closeup you can clearly see how the gimbal of his left engine is compleatly to the left. Might have been the reason for him loosing control

[@TwoCraZyEyes0]

Can you do a 2v2? I think it would be interesting, everyone trying to kill their bandit as fast as possible to go and help their wingman

[@castlebravo1599]

in airshow footage, the sukhois in general and the su 35 in particular tends to carry a heavy missile (probably an r27) on the between engine rear pylon. I have not seen confirmation of this but if i remember my controls class correctly this should make the aircraft slightly more unstable and thus permit better maneuverability. I was wondering if you could try it in one of those fights and see if it makes a difference?

[@robihobby9490]

Warning! Do not drink hot drinks ☕ while watching this Video! There is a risk of spilling 😊 4:50

[@scroopynoopers248]

Is there an F9F Panther in DCS? If so, I’d love to see if Growling Sidewinder could match Navel Aviator Royce Williams when he took on four MIG-15 fighters on November 18th, 1952.

[@Raz.C]

It's not that Egypt said they didn't want them. No. The USA pressured Egypt, saying "If you buy those Russian jets, we won't sell you OUR weapons any more and we'll sanction you, too!" So, despite roughly 80 years of cooperation between Russia and Egypt, vs only about 40 years of cooperation between the USA and Egypt, the new anti-russian policy of the USA has now been forcibly pushed onto Egypt.

Great fight GS! I think India should give a try to a fleet of the F/A-18. Also, just something I couldn't help notice: The Su-35 clipping through the ground before bursting into flames at the end. 😅

[@pyronuke4768]

It seems like a lot of gun kills comes down to whoever makes the first mistake. A lot of people like to point to Erich Hartmann with his 352 official kills, but don't seem to remember he was shot down himself sixteen times.
