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 many F-15Es does it take to wipe out a "massive push" of Russian aircraft?

[@AndrewLawArt]

12:58 did you friendly fire?

[@firebald2915]

How about 5 I-16's vs 5 Arimachi's....guns only dogfights ? That would be a great Furball !

[@NightBeyondVeil]

Name of the song pls

[@mariuscatalin3195]

Do a similar video but with dogfight just guns no missiles like a ww2 era but with modern planes or ww2 planes will be really fun i guess

[@ravenheartwraith]

this just has a very different feel and vibe from the 1 on 1 duals. the amount of lives lost, years of experience, the cost of training, and the ungodly amount of wasted millions of dollars... and what we saw here would of been a minor small engagement in ww2 scales.

[@mathijeba5375]

In a real air to air engagement will be kinda little short maybe 5 to 15 min and with possibly 2 to just 4 aircrafts

[@localracer]

I was thinking the same. Reminds me of the simulations you could run on Janes WWII Combat Simulator skies full of fire

Pretty sure the Tac Debrief shows GS shooting down an allied aircraft at 12:57. 😅 Or at least a red on red.

[@cesarosochido7777]

Unfortunately yes, GS shot down an allie 10:01, but in that situation it's pretty difficult to know what are you shooting at 😅

So are we gonna ignore the fact that GS accidentally shot a friendly on his last kill in 12:57?

[@hansiminator69]

Yes

[@rotj4587]

It's ok, he was RPing as RU

[@rangerrick8220]

I think he took out another one after that cause there were three left.... then there were two...

[@CapMarkMcLeod1]

Was wondering the same thing 😂😂

[@drakkon_sol]

Saw that at the end in the tacview and I thought, "...Did GS screw one of his own...?"

[@TFCSHQ]

What would be very interesting is to see this run multiple times with the same people ideally working together with some sort of plan. With a lot of these massive battles theres always the problem of just running into each other head on and shooting a bunch of missiles. It's just a non-tactical blood bath. Seeing teams work together however with planning, goals, etc would be more interesting to see how it develops overtime. What each side finds works best for their equipment etc.

[@Darthybuddy]

There are PvP leagues for DCS where teams go up against each other just like that. It’s quite interesting if you know what you’re watching.

[@therocinante3443]

Where do I find such videos? I'd really really love to watch those.

[@deadlygrounds]

With all the aircraft falling out of the sky, I kinda hoped an F-15 somehow fell on you. "Hold this F-15 my dude!'

[@tristanb.3470]

At around 13:00, you can see that one of GS' kills was a friendly kill 😂

[@Grim-Crusader]

Not good to be a jerk in the locker room before a mission. GS holds a grudge 😅

[@saiajin82]

I noticed that too, lol.

[@cineva-wb1pk]

I mean, they are Russian RP. It's in character

[@Reaper_03-01]

It was actually a thing. Not with the Russians, but the Iraqis in the months leading up to Desert Storm.

[@istvanbarta]

This was so apocalyptic. No matter if it fought with modern technology or stone axes. The sky is blood and orange and no mercy when the duel between the two big tribes starts.

[@rvnerd7671]

That battle tactical view reminded me of medieval archers launching a hail of arrows at the opposition. Cool!

[@Reaper_03-01]

That sunrise shot with the Eagles plugging in their afterburners, dude you could sell that as art. Though I admit, I might be biased as a hardcore Eagle fanboy.

[@david.bowerman]

GS, Looks like the second kill you got was friendly fire. Tacview Debrief seems to confirm it.

[@herrzimm]

Also noticed on Tac Debrief ONE situation of Red on Red... as well as the NATO forces seeming to be rather slow on picking up incoming warnings and starting to evade. Seems like they were almost surprised that the Red forces got off shots and then suddenly went "oh no" and basically everyone started to bank/dive at once when there was a clear missile lock already reached.

[@swtcorrado]

Yeah,I was like "why didn't the nato guys turn away after the first volley was released!?"

[@DDayJayke]

Yeah, GS shot down an allied aircraft sadly

[@chrisclark6161]

It's a common theme I've noticed. I first picked up on it when GS was doing a NATO one and the "wall of Eagles" was a literal wall that did nothing but fly straight and die.

[@mchovado3301]

6:29 those splashes are just insane man cool video

[@zwenriechtor8310]

Best channel for DCS, but … did you shot a friendly MiG 29 at 13:01?

[@Tbonyandsteak]

Dont worry just a buddy of him very friendly kill.

[@Skipper441]

I noticed two F-16 crashed to each other at the very beginning of the fight. It looks like they panicked.

[@jaspyjiindust.9227]

Nice catch!

[@lvlmaxballoonparade101]

Ever since you introduced the concept of multithreading and it's capabilities in DCS, I've almost been YEARNING to see a type of engagement at this scale. Would love to see more and potentially even entire air-wing battles taking off from bases and engaging with potential SAM cover too, could open the door for potential SEAD and air to air combat simultaneously. Keep this up!

[@resurgam_b7]

I love seeing the tactical view at the end of the battle. It really throws the rest of the video into a new light, light the jaw dropping number of missiles that the blues lobbed at the red force initially and that unfortunate red on red committed by GS 😂

[@echocharlie2226]

This was a cool video; however, I think it would be fun to see the same type of scenario i.e., large squadrons with modern jets but guns only! Dogfights in a meatball! 🏆

[@jackbenny5108]

12:57 that friendly fire on the red team tho. So hilarious

[@benjiman46]

Massive LOL at GS' Blue on blue (or Red on red in this case) at 12:58 😂

[@richardlehoux]

For a few moments, I thought you were on a mission to attack a massive flying saucer on independance day...

[@clairecelestin8437]

I've been thinking about that movie lately too. I like that the President's call sign is Eagle One; you don't often hear that on a fighter jet

[@eric97909]

What a cinematic video, tons of beautiful, suspenseful shots of jets climbing with afterburner

[@yveaux500]

12:57 GS shoots down a friendly. That's instant execution on your return comrade!

[@tomkelly143]

Really good video, a type of engagement you don’t see too often, and the TacView debrief is a really great perspective. Could do an entire video just going through that alone. One thing this does demonstrate is why you NEED to crank after firing missiles, even if you’re not getting targeted yet. Blue looked to have a significant advantage with early missile launches and locks, but seemed to fly straight in after them, so the red missiles hit them at nearly the same time, and with slightly greater efficacy. At the same time, you had a few red pilots crank earlier, and they tended to survive into the second round to clean up the surviving blues

[@FatherExo]

Realistically, thanks to link 16 and MADL nowadays, there’s hardly any “hold lock until the last second then give it up” there would be a series of fighters in rows, and each row will take turns slinging AMRAAMs at long range and around 45-50k feet, with no reduction of altitude, and just keep cycling in a large oval as the other rows do the same, and thanks to data link like Link-16 and MADL the missiles will always have target acquisition from the host aircraft with no dropped lock

[@Jojotheowl1]

Wait, did GS shoot down a friendly plane? Looks like in the TACview

[@Kevin-dw6qi]

I love watching these massive strike missions!

[@RVecc]

watching the TacViews of these massive BVR fights reminds me of watching Macross way back in the day... so many missile trails looking like tentacles of 2 mythical sea creatures reaching out to each other to engage in battle...

[@_IFLYFSX_]

WOW, this is a beautiful video mate! Top quality. New to DCS, so watching this blown my mind! . Thank you

[@CaptainSpacedOut]

Imagine being in the city hearing 20 something odd sonic booms looking up and 10 seconds later planes exploding and balls of fire raining down upon you.

[@Claudius_Nero]

12:55 Is that GS that kills a friendly while in the back of the pack?

All those dudes falling out of the sky at once.. I actually got a nervous feeling - "I wonder if that's what would happen in a real life peer to peer first engagement?" I hope we never have to find out.

It would be interesting to see both sides with equivalent missiles, the C5 is a 90s missile, while the 77-1 is a late 2000s/2010s missile. The Us in the meantime developed the C7 and the D which are def better. Would be cool to see those.

I thought for sure that my resident DCS instructor (GS) would be in the Eagle or Viper. Very ballsy (crazy?) move on his part.
