[@AaaBbb-ff1pn]

i told you the viggen was an interesting aircraft. i wonder if as a last trick of desperation in the sleeve you can use the reverse trust in fly to slow down fast transitioning from a fast 1 circle battle to a slow one. of course you cash everything in slowing down... the viggen love to be fast and high

[@timandshannon03]

New Viggen Pilot: I heard these engines are prone to compressor stall... Is there a cockpit indicator? Crew Chief: Um, yeah... It's an audible warning.

[@sheeplord4976]

There is a cockpit indicator, that beeping, and that banging. The computer also reports you if you stay above a certain AoA for over like 0.5 seconds

I heard 23° AOA is optimal if the pilot does more he will get hit by a blade in the stick.

The interceptor version, the JA-37, had an extra compressor stage and a few aerodynamic mods to be able to dogfight properly. I’d love that version to be added to DCS. Multifunction displays and a modern puls dopler radar…

[@TitusFFM]

This engine irritates the shit out of me. Sweden fucked that one up.

There is, low, fast and straight 😁

[@JD96893]

@@TitusFFM the engine isn't originally from Sweden if I'm not mistaken. They did duck up a little, but then the DCS AJS 37 Viggen was designed as a ground attacker primarily. Hence the lack of internal guns. It would be interesting to see if the fighter variant had the same problems though. In any case the whole strategy of the Viggen is hit and run. Decades later it is still one of if not the fastest sea level multi role jet. During the cold war Sweden knew they would not be able to achieve air superiority against the soviets solely due to the sheer number of soviet fighters. The only way to win an un winnable fight is to simply not fight. This is what makes the Viggen so cool in my mind. Tree top level deep strikes into enemy territory at mach 1+. Too fast for enemy fighters to get you and too low for SAMs to get a lock.

[@allizdog5927]

Keanu Reeves must have been flying that f-15 the way he dodged those rounds.

[@EndTimeDreams]

JA 37 Viggen's routinely radar intercepted the SR-71 during the cold war. One pilot had 5 confirmed locks on the SR-71. The SR-71 flew at an altitude of between 70,000 to 85,000 feet. One Swedish pilot zoomed right up to 22,000 meters reached the blackbird's cruising altitude head on! Luckily he managed to avoid a collision.

[@PPiTTislakatamia]

[@henryoshea4951]

One that can go Mach 2

[@Blablablabla1ify]

In a way. But bear in mind that it was designed and optimised for transonic speeds at 10 metres above whatever terrain it had underneath an as an attack aircraft. It’s amazing that it can dogfight even a tiny bit.

[@spikesz7849]

I’m no dcs expert but I’ve flown viggen a lot, air to air you could say. I would never recommend going back to idle and then slapping it up to full AB after or during a stall. Neither bringing the fight to high altitudes. It’s low by the ground your engine works wonders with the extra fresh air inlets that works as thrust reverses. The AJS is a bit delicate when it comes to handling the throttle. Sometimes even shutting the throttle down to idle then pulling manoeuvres then easing it back to power is a great way to get it going.

[@bjjkidz2716]

So nice to see Viggen. Grew up with it during the cold war. It often flew tight tight over our house, heading out to the Baltic Sea. The sound of freedom.

[@slowhornet4802]

I think instead of having better Viggens it could be great to have earlier F-15s / F-16s. Somewhere I read when selecting afterburner in early F-15s the pilot could not be too sure if the flames would come out of the aft or the front of the engines. Sometimes both happened. In my opinion it is more fun to fly these imperfect aircraft where you have to spend some of the focus on keeping within parameters. Although it is impressive to see what could be done in more modern variants with almost carefree handling, the experience of actually "flying" is better in the older jets. Just my opinion.

[@brown7583]

"goddamn it Sven keep it down back there"

[@nomar5spaulding]

I love videos where GS flies the Viggen because that compressor stall is just the best.

[@cortexus1]

When you lose the engine and you manage to stay below 21AoA pull the throttle to idle and then back up to full AB (fast) and it will start.

That shot where the eagle flew through your hail of bullets is as close as it gets, and could have been the end of the fight right there. I was thinking the deck is coming very quickly, then it will be game over man. Overall very entertaining as usual.

The Volvo RM8 jet engine (first run in 1964) was basically a licensed-built version of the Pratt & Whitney JT8D-1, a subsonic commercial airliner engine but heavily modified for supersonic speeds. Needless to say, these modifications include adding an (indigenously designed) afterburner to it, possibly by using the same hammer that Sven's wielding back there!

The JA version would be nice to see. The avionics was upgraded along with the engine etc. There was a test done to the J35 Draken’s wing profile. It made the draken superior to viggen in tight turns etc. When that was revealed, they had to drop the tests due to the new viggen was supposed to be better. I remember seeing a blueprint of the wing profile. Some engineering to talk about for sure.

Excellent video as always. 1. I do not understand why it is the AJS version that is included in the DCS, and not the JA-37. 2. Any simulation of Swedish aircraft is lacking the envirnoment the aircraft would be expected to operate in, as it is not including the STRIL-60 air defence system, and shared datalink over all assets. IOW, the attack aircraft AJ-37 shouldn't be anywhere near the F-15, or if it is, it should be protected by layers of AA.

[@johanmetreus1268]

1) AJ37 was the first of the type, and most numerous, so as good a starting point as any... unless you really fancy flying the unarmed S37 variants ;) 2) Very true, the command and communication components from system 35 (Draken) and onwards was always front edge... but doesn't matter much in a 1 on 1 dogfight (how the Viggen got itself into that mess would be an interesting story though!)
