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.

How about Harrier vs A-10?

[@Anarchy_420]

Please fly The F-4 Phantom VS A-4 Skyhawk Please fly The AV-8B VS F-35B🙏

[@Anarchy_420]

Please create a scenario with both The F-15E and A-10C working together! Please create a scenario with all three DCS 6th gen aircraft-- NGAD, SR-72, and B-21!

[@Wraithss]

Please start a rumble channel. I like your content and I'm done with youtube woke poitics.

[@kurttank3081]

Gracias por el video, saludos desde Argentina,

[@johnaustin6649]

The conversation on the ground between the 2 pilots would be fun to hear!!

[@NavyDiver912]

It would have been as if the Skyhawk pilot wasn’t paying attention.

[@SudsyMedusa53]

"Pendejo!" "Wanker!"

[@RabidGoldfish]

You know, at first they would each be furious at being rammed. But that long, slow flight to the ground might just give each of them a chance to reflect on the situation. Hopefully, as they approached each other on the ground, both would be smiling and laughing at each other. Mutual respect and simply being thankful they were alive. I imagine an exchange of rations and funny stories, while waiting to be picked up by your own helicopter. Hopefully, the chivalry of mutual combat would take over.....

[@andrewlindhjem1662]

Would they greet each other with "GG" and then start shooting other with their hand guns? Maybe take photos, exchange pilot licence numbers and insurance companies.

[@benn454]

Settle it with a bout of fisticuffs like gentlemen.

[@rocketpunchgo1]

Some of the best content on KZbin comes from this channel.

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Much appreciated

[@SamG-py7ej]

​@@GrowlingSidewinderdoes Toxic have his own KZbin channel?

[@RabidGoldfish]

​@SamG-py7ej , Toxic definitely should have his/her own channel. Toxic is no pushover, after all. It would be nice to hear his evaluation of going head to head with GS. Even though I'll always root for our boy, I for one would appreciate Toxic's interpretation of the last dogfight.

[@Peter_Aranyos_Jr]

@@SamG-py7ej I want to know the same thing. I hope they do

[@MrSpinkser]

DCS related - for sure!

[@Ifoughtpiranhas]

I believe Argentina still flies the A-4, dubbed the A-4AR 'Fightinghawk', that were upgraded and modified here in the US, and used almost exclusively for the ground attack role. The avionics upgrade came from the F-16, and the 'Fightinghawk' designation is a nod to that.

[@localracer]

Beautiful aircraft

[@kurttank3081]

Yessss

[@MisterZealot]

Correct

[@cvillalobos27]

Correct in all accounts. And flown by very good pilots

[@IC3XR]

Yikes, Argentina needs to update its arsenal

[@dondraper3871]

13:00 Legend has it that, after ejecting, both pilots drew their sidearm and continued dogfighting still strapped to their chute all the way down to the ground...

[@GrizzlysWelcome]

When Sidewinder's videos go live, its a good day from then on. Thanks for the great content man, keep it up, and wish everyone a great day.

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Appreciate you

[@kuryakin2483]

@@GrowlingSidewinderalso thank you for saying “ArgenTINE” and not Argentinian

[@theriddler1643]

Best part of my day 😁

[@cademosley4886]

You ought to do a video chat with some of your regular opponents like Toxic sometimes. He feels like a channel regular by now, and it'd be cool to hear some of his thoughts on dogfighting.

[@zentriel]

I support that!

[@richardramsay1795]

Yeh, that's a great idea... an expansion of an already incredible channel

[@MrKnoxguy101]

That collision made me jump.. that looked very brutal in the replay.

[@billisaacs702]

Apparently the Harrier not only does vertical takeoff, it reverses fate as well. Interesting. Must be alien tech.

[@UchihaPercy]

Nah, Belkan Witchcraft.

[@punt3rplays]

@@UchihaPercy😂😂😂

[@MiG-31893]

Bri’ish tech

[@Ifoughtpiranhas]

You know what they say about the ramming maneuver....."It's a bold strategy, Cotton, let's see if it pays off for 'em."

[@farmcat9873]

Surprised the engine could even stay working after that first game when it got shot seeing that Harrier/AV8 engines tend to overheat ALOT.

[@XiaOmegaX]

I'm always impressed by the flight dynamics modeled after mid-air collisions in this sim

[@macgyver186]

The Harrier pilot is lucky that he didnt have a Jester in the back punching out after getting hit.

[@NN1Ckl.]

In the harrier, my best experience dogfighting is keeping as much altitude as possible, pulling high aoa, and using those nozzles to slow down as fast as possible and force the nose around(or an overshoot) to get a shot and force the other guy defensive, then nozzle back-nose down to regain speed quickly, and do it again and again until hitting ground level where I like to keep the nozzles just slightly down to keep the other pilot confused with the weird maneuvering lol

[@kcmsterpce]

In a GS dogfight, expect to expect the unexpected.

[@thatcococat]

Easily some of my favorite content on youtube, the videos are always so engaging and so rewatchable! Your channel is the whole reason I personally have gotten into DCS because the way you play makes it look incredibly fun and exciting.

[@ToTheNines87368]

I love how you cut out abruptly when getting hit like that. Not to sound morbid but it really makes you think about how immediate and sudden death can be.

[@AegisAuroraTV]

Nice change of pace fighting with the Harrier. Like it.

[@Shaggerob]

Worth noting that the Sea Harrier had a Blue Fox radar and was designed for air-air fleet defence vs ground attack AV-8B

[@MrErictank]

I didn't see the other chute until the end-replay. Thought for sure you came out on top for that one, if only by virtue of making it out of the plane.

[@treyaldridge1757]

Also worth noting that the Argentines were operating a different A-4 variant than is depicted as the Argentines were operating primarily A-4Bs and C's, both of which had only 3 pylons, and also without the notable hump in the fuselage seen in later models.

[@mtbjim]

For the kill in round 2, I’m surprised it didn’t FOD the engine. Great content as usual!🤙

[@JoelGarcia-ez9jq]

Best content on youtube, I don't even play DCS, but, somehow I find these soooo entertaining, fun and relaxing to watch, on top of that, now, I have a somewhat basic understanding on "how to dogfight" and on how to fight on BVR combat, even some fighting terminology, things I never thought I would learn, so yeah, thank you GS, this is awesome.❤ I got to the point that now I know when you mess something up waaayyy before you get killed just by looking at the other aircraft thanks to your teachings. 😂😂😂 I simply "learned how it works".

[@ahdfuoa]

That last shot of the two pilots parachuting after ejecting, I'm imagining they continue the fight verbally. "Why the **** did you ram me?!?!" "You rammed me!!!"🤣🤣

[@alextowers3564]

Love the harrier stuff! Would you do any A-10 vid style ground pounding/atg stuff with the harrier? I'd love to see that!

[@timsullivan4566]

This one was... fun. And funny, Thanks, G.S.!

[@Ob1sdarkside]

That first fight was such an interesting contest. When he reversed the turn for the second time, I thought that was it.

[@jeremyortiz2927]

I was hoping for a fist fight after touchdown on round 3. 😂💪👊

[@NordicRest]

The epic ending music that usually plays over a triumphant GS dropping flairs in a victory roll instead playing over two planes that got just a shade too friendly with one another fucking killed me.

[@williamtaftt]

Would love to see some videos in the harrier soon. VIFFing such a cool concept to throw into a dogfight

[@bitkarek]

he has some videos of doing that

[@ChesterAyos]

It’s honestly a part of my daily routine to watch your videos! Thanks for the great content GS

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

thank YOU for watching. Much Love.

[@lukecreamer8426]

"Bring him in close" he says... *dies*. I'm dead, that was brilliant. Now do it against the F-22!

[@StuartKoehl]

That Harrier driver deserves at least a Navy Cross for that first engagement.

[@timbaskett6299]

I wish the BAe Hawk was in DCS, especially the Mk.200 variant. It would be cool to see it vs. the A-4.

[@RupertFoulmouth]

I thought the rules of engagement required you to have mauled the target with guns before using Fox2's. Am I missing something?

[@Boslandschap1]

“Keep your friends close and your enemies closer”

[@matthewgalendez7354]

I’m from Guam 🇬🇺 and watching your content is part of my daily routine.

[@steveclarke1857]

YES! What a great dogfight and the type of underdog video I love.

[@superfastmonkeysim5200]

Fair play watching you guys fly is an inspiration. I don’t ever think I can be this fluent 🫡🫡🫡

[@PavewayJDAM]

The A4 has some weird voodoo on it. I remember that Falklands video where both sidewinders he each other and the A4 came out of the fireball like a boss.

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Ya that was very cool I remember that

[@pxc3lz]

Que grande GS, usando el A4 de la Armada 🇦🇷

[@viperishyper8596]

this guy has helped me learn how to dog fight so much ever since i found this channel thank you

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

glad to have been of service.

[@cj41079]

Love this match up ❤

[@zonacrs]

Love the A-4. First aircraft I put a wrench on in Navy A school at NAS Millington. Then off to NAS Lemoore and WestPac with VA-147. What a ride it was.

[@Casual7646]

Thx for this content man❤

[@mostlyharmless7425]

The inhabitants of Guam thank you for dropping all that hardware on their island. I expect it will now capsize.

[@tykjpelk]

Great stuff, love the melee kills

[@SeaWasp]

The Paths of Hate routine... Well played!

[@kyle.1442]

Surly if both pilots bail out, finish it on the ground. Use your survival knife, John Rambo style.

[@firstchevalier]

Always fun to watch you take on Toxic. Good fights all around.

[@florianmaschke269]

You don't give up. I like that. Very nice fight. I always liked the A4. Such a sweet yet deadly little plane.

[@aceblaneescabusa5371]

Amazing basics in a dogfight. 46th suggestion on a MiG-29 vs Su-57 dogfight as well. Keep playing!

[@madmax2069]

That AV-8B was like "wounded, but not out" That last one is going to be a bit awkward when both pilots reach the ground........

[@imanijones10]

Happy Thursday!! Also biig ups on the merch and the lil endofsummer discount!! Just got the f16 vs mig and f18 vs mig dogfight shirts in the mail and I fukkn love them!!!!

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Thank you for supporting the channel. Much love.

[@michaelbuteau4183]

That last dog fight you had when you bumped into each other. You both parachuted out when you get down. You can just have a fist fight to see who won that last one.

[@imdoobie80]

If you would have been at about 10,000 feet or higher you might have been able to save the aircraft. Still some amazing flying from both of you very well done. I still recommend F-4 vs Bandit Unknown 4 rounds.

[@ericcrilley8871]

Lol that 3rd round collision actually jump scared me...

[@semsjo2364]

That was a planned body slam at the end ;D

[@zombie-yellow]

I love that you put Battlefield 3 theme on Round 2 :p

[@Sivalente1]

That last round is gonna end in an argument on the beach about who rammed who.

[@dennisgraham3087]

The Harrier Pilot in round 1....Oh you wanna play rough huh ? HERE Hold this Missile for me LOL

[@brandonb404]

Watching you get rammed like that gave me flashbacks of War Thunder. Shout out to all the fellow AV-8 pilots in war thunder 😅

[@defdaz]

Hahaha that last round was hilarious!

[@danielc4296]

Crashed into the parking area that takes skill, well done mr. GS 😂😂😂

[@robbabcock_]

That first battle had Toxic striking from the grave! 😲☠👻😂⚔

[@LordEradicus]

Round 1 was almost criminal--he was venting more smoke than a Cuban cigar convention, but still managed to score the win. But Round 3 was another fine example of Famous Last Words--"...bring him in close...: WHAM! 😄

[@davejob630]

I think that was the most uncoordinated victory role in history!

[@grimgramsci]

Would have liked a round 4 of two guys sneaking around in the woods taking potshots at each other with their sidearms

[@NavySturmGewehr]

When the harrier was behind you it looked like a klingon d7 heavy cruiser!

[@ironcito1101]

I want to see the continuation of the last dogfight, with the two pilots fistfighting in that forest.

[@jwn2003]

Well now its a fistfight when both pilots are on the ground in that last fight😂

[@opperbuil]

Nice outcome!

[@AdamWalkLikeSuicide]

0:48 Without looking it up, I believe we also had a few RAF GR3s.

[@litgeek6391]

I'm not sure anything will beat your Skyhawk vs Harrier video from a couple years ago where you had the missiles hit each other in a head-on pass

[@user-vs5uo3ev4r]

Your doing great man

[@Chooie6]

Final round tie breaker continue the fight with your emergency weapon that comes with your ejection seat

[@victorpapaavp]

4:23. almost looks a bit like Iron Man is following your aircraft there lol.

[@jameslanning8405]

2 wins and a draw... I'd say both aircraft are really fairly matched in their performance and capabilities. It comes down to pilot skills, and weapons performance. Good match!

[@keithbriscoe99]

"There's a..." ..... Poor little A4 literally falls out of the sky.

[@broneauell]

Getting popcorn 🍿

[@daszieher]

"...bring him in close..." 😂

[@c.ladimore1237]

at the end: monty python's black knight fight - "we'll call it a draw."

[@thejetfighter]

Love the Skyhawk 😀

[@thegreenmamba100]

The collision literally made me jump

[@pancudowny]

On the ground, after their collision: OP: "You call that FLYING!?"😠 Toxic: "Ahh--your father milks chickens for a living...!"😒

[@HeatMyShorts]

That was an AWESOME ending 🤣🤣🤣

[@TheJimtanker]

On that last fight after you both punched out, pull a hard, diagonal slip in his direction and land before him and then go on the hunt.

[@Mauros-Lykos]

Spectacular fall

[@jtrosse9092]

Finish the Fight on the ground!

[@bitkarek]

great fighting! :)

[@busterdee8228]

And that's how you make an odd number come out even.

[@nonyanks2510]

This is what we call the Bang Bang Maxwell move, if all else fails just take him out, demo derby in the sky !

[@Gcatt1]

SO many times planes have come close but this is the first collision that I"ve seen where both planes were damaged. I think the A10 had another thunderbolt bounce off him and one more, I can't remember. . .

[@firebald2915]

I think it was a P-51 that ricochet'd off the A-10. Thunderbolt2 was fine. haha !

[@talon0863]

Nice shootin @2:25

[@rays.5764]

Finally! Ramming technique!!!!

[@icjd80]

no no no, you have to finish that last fight in hand to hand combat on the ground

[@samcy9551]

This ladies and gents is a proper knife fight.

[@andrewanderson5297]

and the fight continues on the ground

[@Acula33RC]

Now you guys can fight hand to hand to the death!

[@karelpgbr]

Toxic is almost a channel regular, they fly really good! (Way, wayyy better than I can lol)
