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.

now I don't have DCS so I wouldn't know if this would work or even be interesting buy maybe one of all the US's current fifth gen fleet vs one of each of Russia and China's fifth gen fleet

[@nathaniellazo5912]

Oh, ok, an escort mission in the F-16, changing it up from all those amazing F-22 escort missions. Day 4 of suggesting: Ukrainian F-35 vs Russian targets similar to a past video with a Ukranian F-16, an unlikely "what if" they get the F-35. Idea from Binkov's Battlegrounds.

[@Jeb724]

How about a strike mission using laser guided bombs with the F-14 Tomcat?

I can't imagine the terror of being on the ground and seeing all of those B-52 contrails coming your way.

[@mikeyplayz8438]

Most likely if you can see those contrails you're already dead.

[@robertopiedimonte2078]

I can't immagine the terror of being on board the B-52 flying into an aerospace knowing there are still working enemy planes and missiles no one have destroyed yet, if others can't complete their missions will be one way trip to hell on a red carpet

[@JesusFriedChrist]

The F-16 is definitely a 2 circle fighter, but this was yet another demonstration that it is more than capable of hanging out in the 1 circle long enough to quickly beat opponents there. The Ferrari of fighter jets. Pure domination in almost all potential matchups, the exceptions being the few newer generation air superiority fighters. Pretty damn good for an aircraft that dates back to the 70’s. For reference, the day it had its first flight, January 20th, 1974, the number one single on the radio was “The Joker” by Steve Miller Band.

[@zahnatom]

can't wait to see the EF show its performance in DCS

[@MinefighterLP]

It's truly a testament to the great design of the F-16 that even so many years after it's first flight it still dominates most engagements.

[@SUPER-A333]

The bombing cinematic was insane, what a freaking clip you should do this more often

[@MCUT871]

Love the depth in missions. Feels Tom Clancy. Keep it up sir.

[@safaaminhas1461]

Operator drewskis videos also give a Tom Clancy feeling

[@kerededyh]

Since you (casually) asked, the Grumman F-11 is an early supersonic naval jet fighter that has the dubious distinction of once shooting itself down.

[@hammerstein5012]

would love to see a flight of tomcats taking on 10 bears with escorts from distance. showings fleet defense the way the tomcat was intended.

[@paulbeck5919]

Remember how you used to do 4v4 F-15 vs SU/MiG? Do you think you could do the same thing with the Bf109&P51? Maybe at 25,000ft with whatever bombers dcs has? All the WWII fights you do are low altitude and those are great, but I’d be interested to see the tables flip at high altitude

[@garymyers6638]

it could be red tails defending a massive bomber formation from 109's and 262's

[@NoNameAtAll2]

what about Battle for Brittain? defending german bombers against brits?

[@traviswalker8933]

Most of the WWII fights were fought at low altitudes so there's really no realism in that.

[@920utdoors9]

​@traviswalker8933 so all the American strategic bombers were at low altitude?

[@MrEd-qg8td]

@@920utdoors9 B-17's Usually flew at around 25,000 ft. So the OP might have a good idea.

[@jaredhaas4168]

That flight of B-52s wasn't happy when they saw that the mission plan called for them to fly into hostile airspace with active interceptors and SAMs, escorted by a single F-16. Then they were informed that the F-16 would be flown by Doug Masters himself, so they knew they would be okay.

[@terminusarms113]

Stellar video demonstrating multi-role fighting combined with the best cinematography on this wing of the internet. GS is something else, thanks for all you do and keep up the awesome content. We'll always be here to watch

[@paulanderson8272]

Squad of B52s: "Only 1 escort, "ARE YOU F***ING SERIOUS?" Mission control: "Yeah, but it's GrowlingSidewinder." Squad of B52s: "Carry on."

[@radiomanned]

At 9:12 that Mig-29 broke up like he was in a Michael Bay movie.

[@gamingsasquatch3357]

Love the B-52 bombing perspectives good angles and good job. Got to love the B-52, after all it’s the closest thing we’ve got to the devastating power of natures own tornadoes, and even the B-52 is still lacking.

[@andrewhamop6665]

Something that could be very helpful to a lot of people (including myself). You should consider making a video on the DCS mission editor, maybe some tips or not well known features so that people can have fun making and playing more varied missions.

[@rmp5s]

Would love this mission file! I think it'd be EPIC to see all those 52s in VR!!

[@firstchevalier]

I absolutely love the mission-oriented videos where the a-a kills have a purpose and you don't know what's out there. I find it very interesting that your missiles always seem to hit and even when they have superior position theirs seem to miss. Yeah, I get that the videos would end there, or reboot and start over but still. Just sayin'. Love the mission vids. Thanks.

[@nickr753]

“Time for the B-52s to do their thing” would have been a great opportunity to cue Rock Lobster

[@tylerwiley1243]

Great video! Was glad to see the run of Tomcat videos after I commented requesting them, makes it feel like you listen to your subscribers. Any chance you'd do more bandit unknown videos using gen 4 fighters? (F-15, F-16, F-18, MiG-29, etc.)

[@mikethompson2650]

I was in for nearly 8 minutes before I noticed you are using VietNam colors. Love that. The Falcon looks great in those colors. There was a Texas National Guard F16 they had painted in Nam colors, very sexy for a sexy fighter.

[@traviswalker8933]

You know a plane is an effective weapon when it is supposed to serve till 2060 and beyond with upgrades. Thats the beauty of the F-16.

[@HotForgeChaos]

And the B52

[@scottcarter2362]

That wall of steel coming at the camera from the bomb run was both incredible and terrorfying.

[@johnhermann7498]

Another (as always) great video! I seriously need to watch some tutorials on setting up scenarios because I have some ideas... Thanks again for all this quality product!

[@curtisbartlett8170]

I remember being a kid on a ranch in north Texas see massive formations of con trails above and just wondering where they were headed. Late 1960's. Thanks for taking me back.

[@mikethompson2650]

Conversely I was a kid in Irving Texas in Junior High and used to watch the massive formations of Hueys fly overhead heading towards Dallas and thinking they are on their way to Nam.

Congratulations on half a million subscribers, GS! Thank you for making these videos!

[@awger90210]

Love the videos -- entertaining as always. I've gotten the impression that you're a student of the art... and you understand that flying a mission like that in an F-16 is "easy mode." I'd like to see you do the same in Double Ugly with Vietnam-era ROE. Hat tip to Bob Shaw, if you don't have his book, you should.

[@whalehands4779]

Nothing lasts forever... Except The Buff, The Buff lives forever!

[@Xaunoki]

So, seeing all of those bombs dropping from the B-52's, I couldn't help but wonder, "What if those were all cluster bombs?". hehehehehe

[@AtlasJay]

I used to live not far from Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. We would often get Chinooks and all sorts of other aircraft flying by, but once, and only once, a flight of Three B-52's came over head. Lemme tell ya, one of the coolest, and most terrifying thing I've ever witnessed in my life.

[@Mr_Unavailable]

Can you please make a video on the Tornado? Intercept or ground attack missions would be cool.

[@mattm969]

Seconded! F3 Intercepting some naughty RuAF, or GR4 doing low-level ground attack things would be mint!

[@Mr_Unavailable]

There's barely any DCS Tornado content out there, so it would fill a gap

The frequency and quality of your content is incredible. Thank you. I can't wait to get a PC again so I can finally jump in to DCS. Do you have a particular module that you'd recommend? I'd really like to get good at one. As the Typhoon isn't in yet (that I know of), anything else you would suggest?

[@NuclearFalcon146]

A package of B-52s as demonstrated in Vietnam would scour the surface in an area 500m by 1500m destroying everything that was on the surface or just below. The plane was designed as a nuclear delivery platform... but it does not need nukes to be a weapon of mass destruction.

[@frogjello0919]

Just a suggestion instead of dogfighting the f35 you should do a modern day f35 ground strike either the f35 itself doing the bombing or have some b-2 or B-52 doing the bombing and you have to take out enemy aircraft

[@miranda.cooper]

Those bomb runs... if you don't die from the blasts themselves you die from a fucking heart attack, or suicide shortly thereafter. Like DAMN I would NOT want to live through that.
