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 prefer more up close and personal dogfights consider the IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battle series and experience intense WWII aerial combat over famous battlefields such as Stalingrad, Moscow, Rhineland and Normandy. Fight in and against Russian, American, German, British warbirds such as the P-51 Mustang, P-47 Thunderbolt, Bf-109, FW-190, Spitfire, Hurricane and rugged IL-2 Sturmovik attack plane. You can also fly legendary SPADS, Fokkers and Camels in WWI dogfights over the trenches of WWI and discover your inner Red Baron! And all of this can be experienced in jaw dropping virtual reality!
If you enjoy war thunder or Microsoft flight simulator 2020, 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.

Check out the Merch Store: growling-sidewinder.creator-spring.com/ American Murder Hornet Hoodie: growling-sidewinder.creator-spring.com/listing/american-murder-hornet-bluepri?product=227 You guys seemed to really enjoy the bandit unknown fights we did last time, so here we are using the tomcat and taking on everything that is thrown at us, the Tomcat once again proves why its such a dominant dogfighting platform. Big thank you to Wombat for flying this video for us and I hope you guys enjoyed.

I’m really liking this content of X on X. In a real engagement, you will know what the enemy has in the fleet, but what they send up is unknown until you can get sensors on.

[@YG-zv3me]

"He's damaged, he's inverted, he's ejected. SPLASH ONE Chinese flanker." Love the narration!

I don’t play video games, but I’m addicted to these videos. They are well produced and interesting.

I barely play anymore but 100% agree. GS does an amazing job talking through what’s happening and WHY. The context and explanation with the amazing graphics is so interesting.

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Thank you William I appreciate the support man

[@sarhan3409]

THE SOUND TRACK CHANGES WHEN HE USES THE RAPTOR. I dont know why he does that but maybe to humiliate other western jets 😂😂 @GrowlingSidewinder

[@dong8174]

That Mig-21 just did its best impression of the F-106 "Cornfield Bomber" from years ago!

[@Frank-uw8sl]

Gs, very, very nice! We used to time ourselves to less than 90 seconds for a kill when offensive or to survive longer than 90 seconds if we were in the inferior airframe or defensive. You may want to try to implement something along those lines for realism. Maybe the unknown bogey (+unknown weapon) could be a series...? You do outstanding work! Thanks for all your "tapes"!

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

a very cool idea, I will try to implement something like this going forward thanks for the great idea

[@yubisnake]

It's crazy watching the schoolbus that's the Tomcat pull lead on a Flanker

[@KJ-kn8pg]

But isn't the flanker bigger than the Tomcat? Lmao.

[@yubisnake]

@@KJ-kn8pg The Tomcat is bigger. Not by much, bit it's also heavier and has more complexity to it. The Flanker also has greater TTW ratio giving it better acceleration after a sharp drop in speed/tight maneuver

[@paulbrooks4395]

Bandit unknown is really interesting, and I would love to see a 2v2 with 2-4 different airframes. Could you do some new videos on the Phoenix and how to fight from a full loadout to a potential merge? I think it would be interesting to see how we go into battle with full fuel and weapons and then are forced to deal with a potentially complex situation where the end result isn’t guaranteed. I know it makes for more difficult videos and if it’s not what you like to make then it’s probably a bad idea, but it’s probably more realistic in terms of what we face on full scale war servers.

[@TiramisuCorleone]

The enemy unknown thing is a good idea. More please.

[@AndreasNK]

You are great guy sir. Others usually try to excuse or complain or discredit their lost rounds. You give full credits to the other pilots thats why you are a very good pilot your self. You learn from everything.

[@mattkramer8426]

Seems like in the F14 it’s so powerful, especially with the splitting of the throttles and wings out, you can out maneuver, keep it two circle, and go vertical whenever you need to. Not to mention it’s the coolest looking plane ever made.

[@tomcatter2027]

The first kill maneuver reminds me to the one on the final countdown

[@johnhermann7498]

I am wondering if you had entered the merge (in the third round) at or closer to Max Corner if you would have been better able to set the tone of the engagement. I have a feeling that, having lost the first round in the J-15, once he saw your wings in full sweep he adjusted his game plan accordingly. I am also wondering if you had switched to manual, dropped flaps and squatted the jet over the top, maybe you could have forced a two circle and relied on the engines to get you back up to corner and beat him around the circle ... I was both happy and sad to see you win, and lose, in that VF-143 jet... Thanks again for another great video!
