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.

Getting a little deeper and deeper into the world of SEAD and trying to increase the complexities of the missions. If you have any other suggestions for videos, drop them in the comment section and maybe you'll see a video on it in the future, thanks for watching guys, Much Love.

The SEAD Missions are a great change up, definitely different. It would be great to see at least one or two other players join you in a SEAD Strike. One other person can do air cover, while another one or two can do the strike.

Love it when a plan comes together. I still remember my first time seeing 4 F-16 weasels taxying for departure. Got a great picture of them, one behind the other coming down the taxi way. All with inert HARMs loaded up. So cool.

[@Paxton171]

What's enjoyable about these SEAD videos it's like watching a F15 pilot who has mastered air to air has been transferred to the F16 and now has to learn the dozen other missions a F16 pilot needs to know how to do.

[@Triple87]

The F-16 is such a fantastic platform. It can do everything, and it carries so much for such a small jet. Love that thing.

[@zedith2010]

Keep it up with the Wild Weasel, GS! They've inspired me to take advantage of the F/A -18 A/G so much more!!!

[@rabeerajput1343]

You set yourself quite the challenge. Not many pilots could have pulled that off. Very well done. Keep these up as you see fit. Thank you very much.

[@Thomas-zc4vh]

Hey Growling Sidewinder! Thank you for the videos you made. You thought me so many thing and you made me a better pilot. I watch all of your videos and would like to see F-22 vs I-16. The I-16 was a very good plane and fought well and hard. I would love to see this fight! Thanks!

[@staubsauger2305]

Very nice. DCS SEAD/DEAD missions are different from high altitude Fighter Sweep as you often have simultaneous fights of air-to-surface as well as air-to-air all the while trying not to hit the big green ball in low maneuvering. Personally they are much more enjoyable that pure air-to-air missions. Thanks for the entertaining video.

[@Boomer25wa]

Well done! Both the mission and the video. Very cool to watch.

[@Variety_Pack]

Yaaas! GS video! You should pick random viewers for 2v1 dogfights, or other asymmetrical engagements. Obviously I would like to feature, but I'd be thrilled just to watch other players take you on. You're a dang heckin' good pilot, and I want to see how randos stack up.

[@Legendary_Tales]

SUPER SWEET! Keep 'em comin! Maybe an "Escaping enemy territory" in various e.g., F-15, F-18, F-22, SU-57, et al. I really enjoy all your dogfight videos, but adding air-to-ground content is a HUGE WIN for me! Just subbed up. Great work, buddy. o7

[@grievesy83]

The tempo is so incredibly high that the wild weasel workload (in the cockpit) is insane. I’d love to learn the Viper but have my hands very full with the Hornet at only ~50hrs! What impresses me most with GS is his SA. It’s hard to learn in any case, but when you’re also learning aircraft performance and systems at the same time… 🤯

[@whalehands]

Now we need to see this done with a Hornet. It'd be sweet to see it done with a Super Hornet or Lightning, but I know those are mods and don't know the realism it brings to the table. It would be really awesome if dcs had some Growlers. Did you know that the Navy is/was wanting to get rid of a lot of their Growlers? So much so that Congress stepped in and said "No". There was also talks of the Air Force using those said Growlers if that would happen. Love the daily content! I know it's difficult to do, but I appreciate it. Most exciting 15ish minutes of my day. So I'm one who enjoys the longer content.

[@bean108]

They probably want to get rid of the Growlers in order to implement either some other, more advanced Growler-type or more F-35s, which do the Growlers' job better than the Growlers.

[@barbaros99]

Do airbases tend to have CAPs regularly in the air like a carrier would? Just wondering if anything would change if some of the opposing aircraft started in the air.

[@tomriley5790]

Depends on the situation obviously but most nations have some degree of integrated air defence where fighters would be vectored to any air to air threat.

Something we're looking to try with our group (ANZUS) is having an F-16 with HTS pod give the LAT/LON of SAM sites, while our Viggens engage with BK-90 or other munitions. (For the Vipers, if you lock onto an emitter on your HTS page and TMS-Left, if should give you the LAT/LON for that emitter on the DED.)
