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.

7:25 TOXIC, Man-Oh-Man You've got the moves. Holy $hit, this is some great flying by both of you. Thank You GS, and Thank You TOXIC.

[@thedishonoredamerican129]

Note: the F-15 and MiG-29 did square off in Serbia. Otherwise, good video GS.

[@numberyellow]

NGAD vs F-15 ACTIVE, dogfight, guns and missles plzkthx SU-57 vs F-15 ACTIVE, dogfight, guns only plzkthx

[@numberyellow]

@@hkguitar1984 Holy SHIT... i've never seen anyone do that with an F-15.. he even surprised GS. That is some DAMN good flying.

[@murph3194]

That guy has some moves for sure. What a great matchup. Well done.

[@MattWaller04]

Toxic is a beast for sure

[@CoolCarVideo]

Agree, that was good dogfight 💪😉👍

[@WreckRod]

I have no clue, but that stuff Toxic was doing in the F-15 makes it look like it’s either his favorite to dogfight in, or the one he learned on. This was some of the absolute best punch counter punch I’ve seen. Normally GS just makes everyone look silly.

[@nercksrule]

You can tell the man's spent time in a Flanker. That loaded roll was a thing of beauty.

[@fIourine]

7:22. That was a loaded roll. Never thought i’d see an F-15 do that. The things you can do with an F-15 never fails to bring amazement to me!

[@bobamarmstrong]

You can see that loaded roll in the F-22 vs Rafale video, but the Rafale regained the upper hand

[@atomf9143]

Would you consider doing more mission-style videos (defending/attacking a target, escorts, etc)?

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Yup, whenever I have a cool idea like that I will do it

[@larsgottlieb]

@@GrowlingSidewinder Let's give you a few then: One guy in, say a f22, vs, say, fifteen or a similarly silly number - more than he can carry missiles for anyway - fast incoming older planes each with a single air to ground thing, otherwise full on air to air load out. f22 has to prevent them from bombing the target ..

[@rmp5s]

​@Growling Sidewinder I really like the missions, too...ESPECIALLY when you share the file so I can remind myself how terrible I am at this shit. 🤣

[@jaredhall3661]

Or maybe an attack on an airfield

[@Viljoen]

@@GrowlingSidewinder Would love to see a long format cold start to landing. Spice up the channel. Love your work. Thanks

[@zeenom2794]

That dodge of the F-15 @7:22... what a beauty 😘

[@alexdesnev5640]

Kvochur bell? kind of.

[@Evodocturine]

The slow motion "oh no"! So funny!

[@timgilbert460]

Agreed! Had to watch it a couple of times.

[@iddan1205]

And the recover and gaining altitude like a rocket, thing of beauty.

[@roadhigher]

Fun fact about the MiG-29's record, the aircraft that has shot down the most MiG-29's to date, and unfortunately counting, is the Flanker.

[@rajaydon1893]

intresting

[@devdream9277]

that's funny when you think about it They made an aircraft which they then used to shot down another aircraft they made

[@dimitri1154]

@@devdream9277 happens all the time when countries change allegiances. Iran for example has primarily Western military tech from the 80s, and is the only country to have flying F14s.

[@christopher9979]

​@@devdream9277 It's good for sales 😂

[@jojyrocks]

Most of Mig 29 users aside from Russia and India do not have C4ISTAR assets like AWACS. Mig 29s opponent nations always had AWACS advantage and the users of F-15 were all first world nations with better intel networks. Israel got AWACS around mid 1980...after that, they literally became untouchable, better intel network. Before those times, even their opponents had their own ace pilots and Israel had lots of losses. Pretty much, Mig 29 is just plain unlucky.

[@benjaminmorgan1562]

Kudos to the F15 pilot - best dog fight I’ve seen in a while on this channel. Bravo.

[@karabenomar]

Always love to see Toxic! Unccooperative, resourceful, making you work for it!

[@Null24]

I would love to see a su30 vs su35/ su33 vs su27 dogfight at somepoint, just to see how big of a difference the canards and weight difference makes

[@DDayJayke]

I wish Aerial Warfare was still decided by the man in the machine rather than whose weapons are the most advanced. That is why I love mig-15 vs f-86 fights. Equal footing, the only thing deciding the outcome is the skill of the pilot. But this fight did get interesting, both of you put your skill to the test. Truly wonderful

[@BaseSerpentMessmer]

Yah, still plays a role but that role has diminished

[@dvaritek434]

It still is. They just dont have to be g monsters anymore unless things get really hairy. The OODA loop still applies for bvr.

[@timsullivan4566]

Round 1 : "Okay, we're not gonna do THAT again... ...maybe we will, but don't worry." 😆😆😆

The slow-motion WOW was awesome.

2:16 He literally ducked down 😂

[@gardeningniceperson]

I did too

[@xXx_SpaceAce_xXx]

12:20 is the best dogfight advice ever

[@ASO-xh5vu]

I love airforce work from far, but your dogfights are becoming an addiction. Very informative and enjoyeable. This is way better content than what anyone would get at an airforce base lol

[@FPS.Lancer]

15:41 the tempo of the rounds with the music is sick

[@rmp5s]

Hats off to Toxic. That was some BALLER flying.

[@zantherhayes7229]

What an amazing dogfight! Never thought I'd see an F15 dance like that

[@MaxIsStrange1]

It’s such a shame we won’t ever get a modernized, full fidelity F-15C module with an HMD, AIM-9X and DataLink 😕

[@DEADmetal3]

Certainly one of your better gunfight vids. But I find scenarios with missiles factored in more entertaining. Oh and kudos to whoever was flying F-15 - finally someone who can really fly the F-15 to it's potential, as your opponent.

[@stepheno21]

Not often I comment mid video. But I had to pause to say the flying from both you and Toxic in that second round. Amazing!

[@0neBadRabbit]

I'm very impressed. Never knew the F-15 would be so good in the one circle. Toxic is a great pilot tho, so it had some help. Lol. I love seeing one of my adolescent heroes (the Eagle, not Toxic lol) wiping the floor with another beautiful bird.

[@Junker_1]

Toxic is a great pilot. What I don't understand is why people when they are desperate don't start playing in the mountains to create angles and make it more difficult for for example GS. Or using sort of loops where you come out very low to the ground. If anyone follows he has to be very precise with the speed otherwise he plows in the ground or has to pull so hard he becomes very slow. Or why the clouds are not used (yes I know you can lock him and follow him). You can make it very difficult for the bandit. I don't know if there is a rule between the bandit and GS to not do that. But I never see it used. It seems they often let them lead to slaughter.

[@TheWritersBlockOfficial]

The Third Person Shots are INCREDIBLY helpful (not to mention just dang cool). Really helps the viewer understand what it is your doing in terms of maneuvers, and makes it far simpler to try to employ those tactics in our own planes

[@Tremeslay]

He did a real good job while defending. I would love to see him again. Maybe with his personal fav plane. 👌

[@SSJ4Brohan]

😂 The "Oh wow.." @7:34 got me. Sounded like the voice in that song Yello - Oh yeah.

[@NoName5589]

That's some of the best flying I've seen on this channel and I loved it! Great job GS and Toxic

[@niko7903]

Yeah, applause all around. That was high-level chess-ballet, takes two high-quality opponents to put on a show like that.

[@Googlencraptubesuckabandonship]

What I learned from this fight is that you never want the Eagle above you.

[@madaxe606]

All this MiG-29 content is a double-edged sword: It's awesome to see this really cool, under-rated aircraft get showcased. But it makes me want a full-fidelity MiG-29 even more than I already do. ED, take my money!

[@-fulcrumer]

One of the most beautuful dogfights i've ever seen !!! Mig29 vs Su27 would be heela nice :)

[@travis5457]

Whatever one gs flies is gunna win 😂

[@colbster54trains]

I just got into DCS recently and i gotta say, this is the first video where i really understood your movements and patience drawing slowly into a gunshot 👍

[@Thomas-zc4vh]

Thank you for all you do! Your videos are always awesome and good content. I've learned so much from you. So keep up the good work! F-18 and Su-57 Fox 2 Dogfight

[@laymanengineer7502]

That was a really good fight! That guy is one hell of an F-15 pilot too. You can clearly see that he knows the limits of the aircraft.

[@adavidson116116]

its not often someone makes growling sidewinder speechless with their moves, that was a great fight!

[@Boppinabe]

I say it often: A competently handled F-15 is a *FEROCIOUS* opponent. Underestimate at your mortal peril and do *NOT* make any mistakes.

[@buzzlightyear1484]

Wise versa in case of mig 29

[@The_Original_Brad_Miller]

That's the hardest I've seen you work for kills in a while ;)

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Agreed

[@vicroc4]

Man, it's fun to watch two pilots that are this evenly matched. Hell of a fight, every round.

[@TheMagusOfTheMagnaCarta]

Excellent excellent fight ... A totally hypnotic display of aerial ballet..

[@alexvolute7454]

I'd be curious to see how these fights would differ at different altitudes, I've heard the eagle has quite good high altitude performance.

[@SPFLDAngler]

Watching the playback of the first round from his perspective. I feel that. That struggle of being so low speed and fighting to get the nose right where you want it. Been in that position many times.

Thanks for subbing over there as well really appreciate it.

[@TheOriginalFaxon]

@@GrowlingSidewinder Yea bro that initial bump makes a huge difference, you'll be at 100k in no time lol

[@adbramsay]

During the Gulf War (the first 1) USAF pilots were instructed to avoid dogfights with Mig-29's. It didn't matter because they rarely made it to the merge due to the huge advantage of the F-15 radar.

[@josephmumma6997]

I love the channel and how good u r at rating and flying the aircraft, but what really got me on this one is how u r explaining how the MIG 29 doesn’t suck as ur punching out. Love it!!

[@VioletSilence]

That slowed "oh, oh wow" is straight up nightmare fuel

[@M1A2_AbramsSEPv3]

Hell yeah new sidewinder video let’s goooo

[@mowabb]

Fun Fact: the only reason Rico Rodriquez entered the merge with the mig 29 was cause he couldn’t get awacs to confirm the identity of the plane at long range and he was afraid of possibly shooting an allied f-15. So he had to get close to it to visually identify it as a mig for his wingman to hopefully shoot down. But by the time he confirmed it was a mig 29 he was too close and found himself in a classic turning dogfight.

[@JohnZsAviation]

I would love to see a new F-22 vs F-15 dogfight I think that would be super interesting.

[@Backseatercomedian]

Yeah, or an f-16 vs f15

[@rhubarbpie2027]

GS did the F-15 S/MTD vs F-22 and it was pretty cool.

[@JohnZsAviation]

[@markgadsby5568]

Is DCS really so accurate that it replicates all the flight envelope attributes of these planes? It looks amazing. Do real pilots confirm it’s accuracy? The physics modelling must be unreal.

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Yes that’s correct DCS does indeed replicate the flight performance of each aircraft.
