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.

[@Evodocturine]

Damn you're quite the pilot here.! I've been watching your stuff for a while now and.. Well... Damn! You're one hell of a pilot.

[@joelfrantz3189]

Love you GS! Please do more VR stuff!!!

[@assafgol]

The question is if the flight model of the 86 is accurate or just a skin.

[@Anarchy_420]

Please fly The F-15EX with AIM-260's VS The MIG-31 with R-37M's!🙏 Please fly The F-15STOL/MTD VS The SU-30SM!🙏

[@nyito8548]

In a similar vein to this, I'd really love to see some guns only with the F-86, MiG-15, against some of the modern trainers like the MB-339, L-39, etc. Planes from very different eras but similar-ish performance. The A-4 would be a good addition here too.

[@mariapetrou2003]

The impossible dogfight: The Wright Flyer VS an A350 Airbus.

[@gotafarmyet4691]

Death by wake turbulence all it has to do is fly by the Flyer. The only advantage the Flyer has is that the pilot can fire the pistol in almost any direction

GS in every dogfight: that turn reversal of the enemy was a mistake GS in this dogfight: reverses the turn

[@heathb4319]

You only reverse the turn if you can get the overshoot.

[@termitreter6545]

@@heathb4319 Or feel like you got no other choice left.

[@stinkyfungus]

To be fair, that rule of thumb applies mostly to being on the defensive. In that first fight vs the E - GS was offensive through alot of that fight, it started to go neutral as the airspeed dropped off and that primitive little turbojet in the 86 just didn't have the poop to keep that nose up and pointed at the eagle in the toilet bowl. He had to keep the nose dumped to maintain airspeed, the eagle with its far superior T/W, didn't have to do that. You could see the fight turning into a slow one circle, which was favorable to the eagle with its superior power output, and ability to pull itself through manuvers using brute power The turn reversal was a last ditch attempt to change the geometry of the fight and maybe roll into the eagles control zone - but the eagle was just too good in the one circle, saw what he was trying to do and countered it.

[@billisaacs702]

That was quite a toothbrushing you got in the first round.

[@magnanimus9692]

[@MrMan5014]

In Vietnam the F4 Phantom was struggling against the Mig 17 and so they broke out the old F-86 to mock dog fight with the F4 in order to develop tactics to fight against the Mig 17...I've watched video footage of the training and its quite amazing to watch the old Sabre battle with the Phantom...my uncle flew in the Air Force and Navy and his favorite plane was the Sabre!

[@termitreter6545]

Funny thing was, it wasnt necessarily even a problem of the Phantom. But rather than this was a kind of fight the F4 pilots just never trained for.

[@microbuilder]

The slumped over pilot is pretty brutal lol

[@RodneyPinSC]

GS - We hope you are doing well. We were worried when we couldn't get our daily GS-fix. We know you are entitled to a life - you've created the addiction we collectively have for your channel. Thank you for all you do.

youtube compression is a thing, GS can see many more pixels on his screen

[@parkpunk2]

2:45 to 3:15 was more emotional than the first three episodes of Masters of the Air.

[@Stant123]

GS in previous videos: "Never do a turn reversal unless you are certain they are going to overshoot." GS in this video: "Okay so I'm gonna reverse the turn... [1 minute later] Let's try and get him to overshoot..." [GS gets KIA'd] We really appreciate the fact you reinforce the point that it's a mistake to reverse the turn in front of your opponent from the victim's perspective. Good stuff. Haha.

hear me out we might not agree Mig-15 looking cool aswell

The Australian CAC CA27 was the most potent variant of the F-86 sabre family with a bigger engine and 2X 30mm Aden cannons. It also had sidewinders at the end.

[@karelpgbr]

Oh this sounds so cool!

[@commandercody3935]

The Avro sabre MK6 had the best overall performance however stuck with the 6 .50 Cal's. The CA27 is one hell of a aircraft none the less :)

[@davidshanahan5134]

You want the Aussie F-86 Sabre with the twin 30mm Aden cannon against the A-10. Def get the job done.

[@GrimReaperOG1]

When you're a beast at dog fighting and you have to limit yourself to an under dog plane to give the other guy a chance! 🎉😂

[@leorossi8057]

honestly in a gunfight the sabre is insane. try it out sometime

[@doemacmonkey]

Australian Sabres has 2 x 30mm Aden cannons - that would have helped!

Man, I missed these dogfights so much. Glad to see you backG/S.

[@treetrunks4175]

i am absolutely loving the new style of making the deaths so emotional. Absolutely brilliant!

[@gjoinolywa5850]

Went back to watch old IL-2 vids. You were having fun, “so satisfying!” Less clinical than BVR fights. Keep having over the top fun! It’s what drew me in the first place.

[@kindasupersonic7114]

hahahahahahahaahaha that first kill was NAAAAASTY~

[@jgl6793]

Prez, is that you?😂😂

[@muttley00]

Imagine if you could do engine swaps in the same way as cars. What more modern engine would fit into an F86? Assuming its installation doesn't alter the C of G, doesn't bend the airframe etc, how awesome would it be?

[@Tenchigumi]

Hello, my name is Fatal Splat Sound, and I am proud to be a part of this video.

Thank you to both pilots for a great fight!

[@daniellogan9328]

Dude this video makes me so happy! At the FBO where I work there was an F-86 that was privately owned that needed maintenance for a couple of years. I was just thinking about it and was wanting to see it in a video!

[@nickhimaras9331]

Nice touch on the "Requiem for a Fighter Pilot" scenes...

Yes! Thank you GS!! I've been waiting 2 years to see this fight and knew it'd be an interesting one! Thank you GS for flying The F-86 and Thank you Bane for bringing out The A-10!😁👍👍

f 86 is such a beautiful aircraft!

Knife fight in a phone booth with that Hornet!!!

I love fighting with the Sabre against gen 4 aircraft. Its not easy but often they underestimate what the sabre can do in close and slow. I have a fight against the F18 on my channel with similar outcomes as your hahaha. Another great video GS!!

[@andrewbranch4075]

That was good to watch. Considering that the F86 is 1950s technology, that was a capable and vigorous scrap 👍✌️☮️

[@920utdoors9]

That hornet howl has got to be terrifying to hear behind you

[@DemonLordGamingAC0]

Back in the PS2 there was a combat flight simulator called Aero Elite: Combat Academy. I used to use the F-86 because it was a very good dogfighter lol

[@Geto-Dac]

the a10 pilot was great!

[@LeglessTurtle]

Great job on the DCS 2024 and beyond video btw! It gave me some serious goosebumps

[@asmodeaus8024]

This era of jets are so steampunk and I'm here for it

[@dougcoombes8497]

The A-10 was built to deal with an entirely different order of weaponry than .50 cal. It was built to survive multiple hits from Soviet 23mm cannons and the engines are designed to burn and fall off so if you lose one you still have a clean airframe to fly home on the other engine. Plus the titanium armor bath the pilot sits in make a pilot kill much harder.

[@KZ-se4ik]

Bane's first few choices were quite sportsmanlike. Turning you into pink mist however...

[@AshBhang2010]

ohhh so sad seeing the pilot slumped over his controls :) great shot ! !

[@LeonAust]

The Aussies had a Sabre heavily modified called an Avon Sabre with 2 x 30mm Aden cannons.
