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.

[@Snoopyflyingace80]

Look up gun cam footage from Apaches. There's one where it ambushes a bunch of T-ban fighters with a Hellfire and proceeds to wipe the mountainside with 30mm before circling back to finish off survivors. One of the survivors from the ambush was finished off with a direct hit from a 30mm round.

[@pale_2111]

That dude getting hit with that 155mm is the equivalent to dropping a JDAM on a portapotty.

[@LongBinh70]

Funny. Just about three hours ago I was watching a "real" AC-130 video and thought to myself, "I wonder if Growling Sidewinder ever did an AC-130 video?" Refreshed my page, and there you were! But a 105 to just take out a sapper? A Hellfire for four dudes under a tree? Be careful with our tax money, Dude! Also, pay attention to the warning notes in the lower right quadrant. It was screaming at you that the minigun was overheated. Also, yeah. A Cobra's minigun, while "only" 7.62mm, strafing a football field, will put a round in every square foot. When I was in Vietnam, we used to set up lawn chairs and watch 5 Cobras work the VC on a hilltop about five miles away at night. Each Cobra was stacked at a different altitude, so if the enemy tried to duck the stream of bullets behind a rock, one of the other ships would start firing from a different direction. Oops. The tracers, every fifth round, would come so fast it appeared to be an unbroken red stream. We called it "pissin' on the enemy".

[@murph3194]

I remember loving the AC130 in Call of Duty. They would only let you play with it for a short period but I could have played it as a seperate game entirely. Very satisfying.

[@TheOriginalFaxon]

Well now you can!

[@UncleRayRayGarageEmporium]

During war games in the Corps, I saw the AC130 demonstrated at night. Terrifying. Nothing it sees is allowed to live. Thinking about how they had to verify our friendly Marines location left a strange feeling in us. Annihilation was a trigger finger away. Glad those beasts are on our side.

[@andersjjensen]

If you're pinned down and you hear an A-10 above you, you go "Hell yeah! Here comes the ass whooping!" If you're pinned down and you hear an AC-130 above you, you go "Oh... rest in pieces, I guess..."

I watched F-16s mock dogfight above my family’s house. I once stared at the AC-130s slowly fly over my house. Traumatized my family’s horses. Even my sister, who is unimpressed by any aircraft was staring in awe and those massive bird. I with I could see them again but I probably won’t happen any time soon

[@mrlt1151]

Way back in the day I was camping north of a bombing range in Florida when A-6’s? Flew over super low. I didn’t known the range even existed at that point and was afraid we were about to go full Red Dawn.

[@zilfondel]

I live under the flight path of the air national guard fighter wing, we get 2-4 F-15EXs flying over every few days throughout much of the year. They hit the afterburners when they climb away, around 1,000 or so AGL. Its awesome

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Dude, Shane is the fucking best. I love that joke. “That guys a psycho”

[@brosefmalkovitch3121]

11:28 that's actually not inaccurate for infantry to survive what is more or less a direct hit with a Hellfire, I've read from Apache pilots that the Hellfire really is primarily an anti-tank missile and the missile body isn't designed to produce a lot of fragmentation, apparently the guaranteed infantry kill radius was pitifully small so it was very much for point-targets only.

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Very good to know and great attention to detail from the game devs

[@WhatIsSanity]

Yes, but whatever the hellfire is blowing up largely turns into shrapnel. Even people.

[@williamwimmer5473]

@@GrowlingSidewinder don't worry, the weapon designers figured that out and fixed it. Of the 20+ hellfire variants there's several that include various kinds of HE/Frag warhead, and also at least two thermobaric versions

An acquaintance of mine was a AC-130 gunner at the start of GWOT. Typically they'd load the 40mm with incendiaries for use against unarmored and light armored targets, munitions ECT, and often they'd try to bounce them up into cave entrances. He said one time they did that and the entire mountain lifted up from the secondary. Although they were never officially credited, it's estimated that one instance took out over 200 insurgents.

[@Kenedien_737]

The Physiocological methods here are crazy

[@DefinitelyAPotato]

Psychological? Physiological?

[@kasper_429]

I think you mean psychological, lol. Although there are definitely some physiological effects when you direct-impact an enemy with a 105mm shell. 🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀💀

[@DDayJayke]

When they marked that car, I was like "Yup, I have seen enough footage and movies to smell that IED through the screen". And yes GS, it is 15 Dollars American

Just this morning, a CC-130H buzzed my house at about 500ft. I thought, "No way would could they have been as low as I think." Checked FlightRadar24 and they sure were. Almost as fun as when the Chinooks buzzed my canoe.
