I love all of your content. What I really want to see is it reversed though. Growling Sidewinder in my opinion from what I can see is top dog. If he loses its in a fight that the plane is simply outmatched. I want to see him fly the panther over and over and over like he does the 16, and 22 etc. and then see what he can do.

Growling Sidewinder is a DCS beast. Completely humble and laid back, always teaching and walking the viewers through his thoughts. When he gets shot down. He owns it and is the first person to give props to the other pilot and critique himself in what he did wrong. He's played against real fighter pilots and he's the first to admit their level of aggression in on another level than his.

Guys, when you watch the GS vids please keep in mind that they are doing it mostly for entertaining people rather than educating purpose... I understand that they're sounds like they are teaching you something but learning the BFM from GS is like trying to learn self-protection technique from WWE I mean they are acting to create contents for KZbin and not telling the bitter truth about the fight. They put an easy kill into a stalemate or dragging the the fight for that purpose and the worst thing is most of the people are getting along with them... If you REALLY want to learn how to do dogfighting then GS vids is not a good reference for you or any beginners unless you didn't really care much and just watch it for fun then that's alright.

I believe in this specific dogfight, you can only use missiles if: A) Opponent is trying to extend B) You already landed a gunshot on the opponent He has other fights that are BVR and others that involve missiles, so I definitely would love to see a Fox-2 fight between the F-16 and F-35

@@reboundrides8132 Definitely, though another rule is to not shoot in the head-on for these “gun”-only rounds or Fox-2 fights. They want to dogfight and see what each aircraft and Pilot can do, rather than just shoot in the head on and get nothing out of it; you don’t learn anything from a head-on gunshot. Of course, the chance to get to the merge is incredibly small these days, given the technology we have packed into our Fox-3’s, such as the Meteor missile or even the R77 and AMRAAM.

@@reboundrides8132 GS uses this sort of scenario as an exercise of close in dogfights and to keep it entertaining for the viewers. GS has always acknowledged the limitations he places on these sorts of duels aren't realistic, but more of a personal challenge because watching constant 50+ mile BVR fights, while more realistic, would get boring for the casual viewer after a while. GS does missile duels and BVR fights, but doesn't allow initial shots during the merge outside of BVR engagements.

'Blink' does dogfights in DCS where the rules are that you can't use weapons until you've merged, and can't use missiles until A) the opponent tries to extend or B) you've landed a gun hit. This keeps the dogfights more interesting, instead of going mostly to who has the more advanced missiles and sensors.

"Follow on dogfighting" is a great turn of phrase. Makes me think of connections to the importance of good follow-through when fighting with melee weapons (swords, spears, etc). You can make that big flashy holywood cut and thrust, but if it doesn't connect, it leaves you open for the other guy to finish the fight with a lazy stab. Just like that overshooting snapshot. If he'd missed, he'd have been floating out in front of the F-35 with no energy and no options.

"blink" is a perfect callsign. Sounds like it would have some badass backstory about a staring contest with the enemy and making them blink. But nope, it's a jab at the pilot who blinked at the wrong time and lost sight of his opponent. "lights" would also work - as in "who turned out the lights? why can't i see this guy anymore??" or maybe 'optometrist', because clearly he needs one.

Took out a Viper in an F14B. I gained altitude and then nosed over and fox2 from 5 miles to force him into a Syrian turn, took his tail but kept my altitude around 15k, he reversed to prevent presenting his AB to me but bled too much speed, so he ditched his nose and I tucked in behind him, then he tried to go vertical and I took a high aspect fox2 shot for the splash. Whole thing lasted 41 seconds. Basic lesson really of any combat situation is to jam up their game. Take away their advantage and dominate. As Sun Tzu said, know yourself and your enemy. I would never get into a turning fight with a Viper except with an F22.

The new Block 6 ASRAAM has significant BVR capability. F-35s also get to choose whether or not someone will merge with them, and given that choice, better to reach out from the shadows and pull targets into NEZ than merge with them.

I wonder if DCS has accurately modeled the F-35 and that maybe it might be more maneuverable than they’re letting on?🤔 We all know the Raptor is king of the sky at BFM but there’s some things about the F-35 that make me think that it’s much more capable than we’re led to believe in this arena. It can do a falling leaf without thrust vectoring and that’s a massive clue that it is maneuverable and it just has a massive power plant at its heart that’s more powerful than any other jet engine on the planet and that means that it can likely maintain and keep energy much longer than anything else. Those are huge pluses but I’m not an expert and honestly what I’ve learned about BFM is from watching GS channel. It’s interesting to watch even if you don’t play the game

I bet SD was even a bigger problem at night with no horizon in the F-16.

Everything I have ever read says the only time the F-16 is more maneuverable than the F-35 is stripped down with a light fuel load. With a actual combat loadout the F-35 can out maneuver the F-16.

​@Max Afterburner what are your thoughts on Growling Sidewinder's obvious bias against the F-35? I'm sure you've noticed the "it's slow and can't turn" bias in his remarks.

@@saltyfloridaman7163 I mean the DCS F-35 Mod kind of sucks, It's not exactly a great model of its real life counterpart. Obviously the DoD isn't gonna release the F-35s true specs so mod authors end up having to guess.

"Blink" is good, but I like "Slack" better. GS frequently does gun-only dogfights and has too many high-aspect shots with no follow-on options, he has no "slack." Also, in Fox-2 fights, he frequently wastes his missiles while in the WEZ, again not enough "slack." And when it comes to this video he was "slack"ing when got complacent and lost sight of the F-35 at the start, too much "slack."

Blink would be the most appropriate callsign

Thats my dream bird, Ryan, the "sweet sixteen" a VFR daylight BFM platform, no clouds for me (in my civilian GA microcosm, its why I obtained my "Glider - aertow" rating after I had around 500 hrs of tailwheel time in a 1975 Taylorcraft F19). I honestly think it was best decision for me looking back. Basically I'd rather be circling in a thermal in Schweizer 2-33 or 1-26 than flying in the clouds 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏

I think this is a guns only fight unless your opponent extends away or to finish them off when you get a guns hit. Great video as always.

From the Air Force pilots I know, the sucky thing is, if you get a "call-sign" (nickname) you don't like or want, you can PAY (😂) to have a call-sign of your choice. In other services, if you get a nickname that has a negative connotation (let's use "Stinky" as an example), you can EARN your respect back with your fellow Soldiers/Marines, at which point your "Stinky" nickname becomes a badge of honor, because you EARNED the respect of your Squad/Platoon. If you don't earn the respect of your Platoon back,... well, you're going to have a long and painful enlistment, where you'll be known as "Stinky; the Platoon's weakest link". But we would have WAY more respect for someone who took their bad nickname and owned up to their BS, instead of someone who decided to BUY their way out of their nickname.

F-16! The most beautiful jet in the world! And as a swede Gripen takes second place. I love those Growling Sidewinder, Longshot and Grim Reapers clips. Yours off course aswell. Good work!

Thank you! I always get frustrated when I watch rate fighters not hold altitude on an opponent. Everyone is always so quick to cash in their altitude. Let them dump their nose while you stay high in a turn, and come in on them later.
