awesome news dude, I think the F-16 is a great choice. Its pretty early Access and has a long way to go but even with that in mind its still the best air to air machine overall out there. great choice man.

[@System-Update]

I learn something every video. Even when it is re-learning because although there may be a re-explanation of 1 circle, 2 circle, rate fights, energy management, not going vertical in a Fox 2 fight, loosing cues, patience, when to reverse, jamming the WEZ, maintaining the right speed, flying the enemy's path, not pulling your nose too soon, off set in the merge, keeping your lift vector pointed at the opponent, using the vertical to cross the nose out of the HUD, etc etc etc; there is SO much information just casually and calmly imparted every video is a school video. Love them man, keep them coming and thanks for all the content.

The F14 and F15 were very comparable fighters when they were in service together. If the F14 had stayed in production like the F15 did they would more than likely still be both very capable fighters when matched against one another.

[@operator0]

@@treeamble585 The Iranians are currently upgrading their entire mothballed fleet of F-14s to something that might look like the proposed Grumman Super Tomcat. We know that they have all new avionics, we suspect that the engines have been upgraded, and we also know that the AIM-54 has been upgraded. The assumption is that the Iranians had help from either the Chinese, the Russians, or possibly both. The Iranians currently have the manufacturing industry to produce all the parts needed to activate the mothballed jets and keep them in the air, while also upgrading the entire fleet. It's unclear (at least to us civilians) exactly what kind of upgrades they have performed, but we do know the Saudis are very, very concerned. If all the reports are true, that would give the Iranians more than 50 advanced 4th gen aircraft that still have many, many hours left on their air frames. You can read more about it over at Janes, if you have a subscription.

[@LRRPFco52]

​@@Whiskey11Gaming There was an F-15C pilot who did at least a 12g Split-S in Desert Storm. F-15C is G-limited by the pilot, very tough airframe. F-14 had roll-rate induced engine failure limits that had to be observed by the pilot, as well as instability with nose procession and tail lagging that made it hard to fight. F110 fixed that though. Keep in mind these types of guns fights are handicapping the aircraft to a 1950s exchange, not the Fox 2 and Fox 1 fight that is more reality.

[@taproom113]

@@Whiskey11Gaming Exactly

[@JETZcorp]

@@Whiskey11Gaming I read a story once of an F-15 pilot who got the ocean and sky mixed up, and realized his mistake from the pull-up cue, doing 650kts nose-down. He pulled the stick with his full upper-body strength and pulled 14G with an initial momentary 30G+ spike. When he landed, the wings had measurable dihedral that the airplane wasn't made with, and the upper skin was corrugated at the wing roots. The airframe was a total write-off but it was able to land. In this scenario it was said that an F-16 with its strict electronic G limiter would have hit the ocean. The F-15 is a tough cookie. Compared to the Tomcat, the Eagle has a wider fixed wing root vs a narrow pivoting one, and has a lot less weight to heave around. Obviously it is possible to pull to hard and damage the airplane, but it's definitely going to stay flying after a little 11G excursion.

Lost the right wing tip, right vertical stabiliser tip, right rudder and left elevator. Some minor right-side system damage and a right engine fire. After putting out the fire, it took about 25 mins of circling with all sorts of alarms going off before I finally manage to get close enough, at the right angle to fire a Sidewinder. It blew all his control surfaces off, and the crew ejected. Despite all the damage, I was able to land safely. I call that a win!

Not even F-15E has fly by wire. A proper FBW system is present in the brand new F-15EX version, that will replace F-15C.

I used to go to air and sea shows as a kid and would see both of these jets. The F-14 appeared surprisingly maneuverable for it's big blocky shape, but the F-15 was a little better at flying straight up like a rocket. It only took a few seconds for them to climb out of sight. I always thought the F-18 seemed behind them in vertical power but the lower speed stunts were certainly in the Hornets' favor. I remember the B-2 being loud as hell ironically but the B-1B was also loud. We never got the F-16 Thunderbird team at our show unfortunately. I've only seen the F-22 parked at the airport but I think it flies now in recent air shows. The A-10 once used its cannon on a barge to explode some targets, so that was cool.

I can’t help it ... I keep hearing “aubergine, aubergine, aubergine”. What the hell does an eggplant have to do with any of this? 😜

I think a great addition to your videos would be a digital readout of your airspeed on a corner of the screen throughout the fight. Especially for jets without the JHMCS, it would be great to be able to see your energy state throughout

From the merge, the F14 pilot was flying a tomcat like a FA18

Awesome battle. A friend recommend DCS videos and this one, the first DCS dogfight video I’ve seen, certainly doesn’t disappoint. It probably helps that the aircraft I was rooting for emerged victorious. That being said, I was surprised how even a fight this seemed. The F-14 has very impressive long range capabilities, however, I expected the F-15 to have a more definitive advantage in this type of fight. Also, what is a “rate fight?”

Hello, welcome to the channel, thanks for checking out the video. I think people are often surprised by the F-14s ability to be competitive in dogfights that most people would write it off on, often times against far superior adversaries. If this kind of stuff interests you or you would like to learn more basics of this kind of stuff I have made a basics video where I also talk about what a Rate fight is, you can find it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJrTmaRud9aYbas&ab_channel=GrowlingSidewinder

That engine fire would've been the perfect dinner bell for a fox two.

Thank you for another great video GS! It's always amazing to see what aircraft can do in your hands. Ps. I would love to see what you can do in the F-15 vs the F-16 in a BVR and also in a FOX-2 fight. Is the F-15 still relevant at all or did all of the improvements made to the F-16, together with the fact that the F-15 doesn't have datalink and only has a SFM, make it too much for the Eagle to handle?

More F-15 wvr dogfights!!

This was the best example for a successful turn-reversal I have ever seen. Normally the reaction to a turn-reversal is "He shouldn't have done that"

THIS IS INCREDIBLE TO WATCH THE EXTERIOR VIEWS!!! nice!
