Would love to see more VR ww2 dogfighting, love the vids!

GS PLEASE DO F14 Wings retracted only dogfight

Day 70 of asking for A-10 vs F-86, or vs a series of different generations of jet fighter.

Day 42 of asking yf 23 vs f 22

[@kirsankaifat3702]

Unexpected but so nice to see Su-27 again

[@dystopianlucidity4448]

“It’s called trouble and we’re in it” best line since “I’ve merged with a meteor”.

[@o-manthehuman7867]

wait what video was that from again?

[@thedishonoredamerican129]

​@o-manthehuman7867 I think that is from the F-15 with AIM-260 vs Typhoon video.

[@shyneus9773]

Shiiit idk, merged with a meteor is king. Need to go find and rewatch that one

[@dystopianlucidity4448]

@@thedishonoredamerican129 it was from a video he did with long shot.

[@peatbogg3688]

Although I did like "An F15 is jamming its face off" 😄

[@stop736]

When he said, “we might actually have a chance here”, and I saw there was only about two minutes left…I knew it was curtains. Love the night missions! This is easily my most consistently watched KZbin channel I sub to and I don’t even play DCS. 😅

[@Gentleman...Driver]

I like the day missions more, because with night missions the whole screen is just different shades of green, obviously. But it was entertaining as always.

[@stop736]

@@Gentleman...Driver That’s cool, I hear what you’re saying. I love the day ops to of course. In a weird way, I enjoy the NVG green. Reminds me of when I was in the Marine Corps patrolling at night. 🤷🏻‍♂️😅

[@csjrogerson2377]

Not often you see GS on the run and still spreading himself over the countryside.

[@lancet.346]

"Sad Viper noises" made me laugh out loud.

I relate to that one on a far too personal level.

OK that missile jump-scared the $H!? out of me, and i knew it was coming...

[@SacredCowStockyards]

You didn't know it was gonna hit since we're all used to GS being a Fox-3 Houdini

[@Spartan1-1]

The moon and the clouds on the night vision is absolutely gorgeous! 🤩

[@antonyvalverde437]

It would be interesting to do a mission trying to penetrate an air defense that couples anti-aircraft systems with AWACS radars, and see how it would change attack strategies. Russia supposedly succeeded with their S-400 and A-50.

[@Laerei]

Two acronyms: SEAD and HARM

[@LeroyJ12]

I'd love to see cinematic shots during these night fights from ground level looking up at the sky without NOD's and just see the explosions and falling debris up above.

[@MTMILITIAMAN7.62]

"Why is no one doing their job?" Welcome to military service. Just think, you probably volunteered for this shit.

[@krzysztofdomanski8258]

Finaly, a video in which, after a long mission, things don't go according to plan and you are shot down. Almost all of your videos end with a happy ending :) nice suprise!

"If you want it done right, you've got to do it yourself." ... So damn true.

[@Rose_Butterfly98]

"we might actually have a chance here" Looking at the time left on the video, I would say no, you did not. I like how the SA6 operators were probably just going weeeee radar spinning

[@JulioRad954]

Damn first time ever in your video that missile at the end made me jump !

[@ret7army]

Almost every time for me

[@firebald2915]

For this reason... I quit wearing ear buds. Whiplash recovery.

[@johnhermann7498]

Damn... It's like they call it "look down, Shoot down" for a reason... Great video as always!

[@GM-fh5jp]

I'm surprised that the onboard ECM in your Flanker didn't register the jamming from the F-15 that was supresssing the SA6 battery... Is it multi frequency capable at least in RWR mode?

[@vized2415]

" I am in big doo-doo, request picture", "Flanker 1-1, repeat pls?" big DOO-DOO sir send help! I laughed so hard....

[@timbaskett6299]

The evolution of fighters is amazing. In the '40s-'60s they had dedicated night fighters, now just about all fighterscan fight at night. A night fight between an F-22 and Su-57 would be cool.

[@heretolevitateme]

The best night fighters had primitive radars. They were big and heavy and made you unmaneuverable, but at least let you find the enemy in the dark. Once BVR fox-1s entered the fight, every plane had to have a worthy radar to survive. The YF-16 was originally conceived by the Fighter Mafia as a radar-less fighter, but after a lot of hem and hawing the Block 1 was equipped with the APG-66 and given a bigger nose as a result.

[@grimwaffle5272]

Love the Content GS! This never disappoints! Is it possible to request some Super Hornet Content? A kin to your Warthog videos? You know, a mix of ground and air engagements? Love the Block 2 and I love your videos. Either way, keep making these bangers

[@nasaboy51]

I 2nd more Super Hornet content.

[@anonymousdevildog1406]

Really do LOVE these night fights. It's so interesting! Wish you'd do some non-fox 3 fights at night in the merge and more of these vids.

[@rishgamingchannel]

thanks for the daily content of dcs

[@thepilotman5378]

I'm up for something not yet done, how about a multi-role capability fight. Both and F-16C and and/or F-15C go against flankers or mig-29s but both red and blue air are loaded to a CAS loadout. Every plane involved has a very heavy loadout and has to be extra aware in BVR engagements as the MAR is much bigger.

[@HillslamsMirror]

That was probably the best jump scare I've had in years

[@djchrismac]

All hail the King of the unexpected death! We salute you!! 🤩

[@TexGrizzle]

Can you do a night in the f14? Absolutely LOVING these night fights/raids ❤

[@ecliptix5436]

You know, I ask myself that same question every time I try to get anything accomplished... Why is nobody doing their job anymore? I don't usually eat an AMRAAM a few seconds later, but still. I feel your frustration.

[@timsullivan4566]

Love that night sky look but it made me wonder... ...if Fox 2s would go for the moon? 😉

[@sol2wit781]

12:42 this is why the F-16 fighting Falcon is a jet that enemies shouldn’t be messing with!

[@whiskyguzzler982]

That’s how last thoughts are… Fuel warning, then thinking about next steps, then Sopranos ending.

[@MajorMayhem-cg9hf]

Lmao I was gonna request this (F-16 vs SU-27) but I guess you already had it in mind lol.

[@darkphoenix2]

So did one guy stay low and on your tail and the other guy predicted you'd try to use the mountains and he cut you off from up high? Nice.

[@Aspen51]

A "Snort Snodgrass" saying.... ALWAYS remember the ENEMY has an active say in YOUR plan...... B.Z. GS - one of the best vid's yet.... Thank you!

[@Skyfaller2010]

I was so into it watching with baited breath as you went into the mountains....when you got hit, I literally jumped!

[@CharlesHuse]

It would seem that the jamming had certain aspects of raspberry involved. (Spaceballs reference)

I really wanna see some dogfights with terrain. Say like in a mountain range or, less realistically I feel, in a city.

[@TymaDem]

12:42 famous last words

[@stephenhoda3362]

Reminds me of the Sullivan Bothers : "ALL THE BOYS ARE DEAD" I wonder if shutting off your radar and relying on Long Range Thermals & IRST would have changed the equation for the better.

[@lonl123]

Absolutely Brilliant video. Love these nighttime, complex environment videos. You were certainly at a disadvantage in this one, but you still scored 2 kills. Maybe if you had a jamming asset on your team, things might have gone better...but it's tough going up against NATO radars. Awesome job!

[@timgilbert460]

Dude! Talk about a jump scare. Thanks for the content : )

[@Gauweezy]

Nothing else quite hits like a jet fighter flying in the sunset.

[@luismartepr]

Meng there’s something about night time bvr and dog fighting it’s just mesmerizing

[@firebald2915]

That high/low pursuit is effective. Payback from the last joint BVR fight. F16 rules. Haha!

[@KillerKev1961]

Wow, that was seriously cool!

[@nathaniellazo5912]

Good luck GS, this doesn't look like it will be easy

[@emmavaria]

I'd love to see a video of trying to intercept the venerable SR-71 Blackbird with the best technology 2023 has to offer. Does an updated MiG-31 with R-37s even stand a chance at Mach 3+ and climbing through angels 80? Modernised F-14 with AMRAAM-D3s, AMRAAM-ERs, or speculative AIM-260s?

[@bitmanagent67]

Hey GS, weird question but I watched your setup tour video and just wanted to know where did you get your desk from ? 😊

[@davidpalmer4184]

"No-one is doing their job" as the SA-6 doesn't help. The reason for that in one word is VODKA. Sad Flanker sounds...

what is this thing on the rear between two engine on the russian planes... is it somekind of system for defends, jamming, secondary radar or what...
