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.

When a HARM misses is it designated Harm-less?

[@bartwieckowski3352]

Way to go brother!!!

[@powerhousepaperairplanesrogers]

Maybe you could do a Stealth fighter vs Stealth fight. You could use the HO 229 Horton flying wing vs F-22

[@jdquesadilla8827]

This type of multi-level AND multi-role is purely awesome to watch!!! Keep up the good work!

[@keithhoss4990]

Agreed. The dogfighting is entertaining but this feels more like a real world scenario. Great vid!

[@pmgcc]

Those two near misses felt like actual plot armor! I was shaking my head, it was sooo close to ending very badly and prematurely. With so many bandits incoming that would've been very problematic for the A-10s too. Great piloting and great video as always!

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

I like to think the A10s would have turned tail and ran, but theyre so slow probably wouldn't have gotten far.

[@worldbreaker1023]

Thank you for finally showing the drop tanks hit the ground. Kind of. I’m mostly complete now.

[@armymanDR]

Once again your mission based videos are my favorite. It’s awesome seeing airframes being used for their roles and seeing how they excel (or what they lack) in capability.

[@Batceloplays]

It would be cool to see you and Longshot take this mission together! Like you fly the A10 and he flies the F16 or vice-versa

[@kingsaltman]

Thanks for all the hard work GS, love watching your vids

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

thank YOU for watching, I appreciate you.

I know it’s extra work, but the landings are icing o the cake! I hope you continue to add them! Great vid as always!

[@voidlessphobia]

As good of a multirole fighter the F-16 is I feel it lacks sufficient hardpoints to really perform to its full capacity. In most of the videos you can see how if one shot misses it can cause big trouble for GS

[@encryptedaviation1452]

They tried making an F-16XL

[@Golgi-Gyges]

I think it's about maxed out given it's size and power

[@Ghoster311]

@@encryptedaviation1452I would put the F-16XL second only to the F-23 in terms of aircraft that should have been put into production.

That viper looks sick. Great video as ever. More mission based stuff please.

[@CoinSnobz]

I honest to God jumped when those MANPADS flew by. Another awesome video as always!!!!

[@pyxl8]

I love the concept of doing videos from multiple perspectives on the same mission like this. Your previous A-10 video I can imagine this going on also. That's cool.

[@philcourteney4328]

I really do enjoy the editing you do with the long lens cutscenes of the bogeys getting nailed, and then your reaction to seeing the flash and smoke trail into the angels 00 😁👍

[@timbaskett6299]

That Falcon is loaded HEAVY!!! Kind of reminds me of the way I would loadout my Force One Die cast F-16 (when I was a kid, 10 or so) two HARMs, two Fox-1s (maybe -3s), two tip mounted AIM-9s, and a belly tank.

[@emmavaria]

I love these narrative combat missions!

[@Chuck_Hooks]

Su-24s launching Storm Shadows against Sevastopol next, please.

[@hk_maestro]

You have the right idea my friend

[@RKZX2]

Russia will shoot that shit right down. Ukraine can't win. Not enough men, not enough weapons.

[@Nathan-vt1jz]

I love the mission oriented videos. Great work!

[@Bismarck9771]

Keep this up GS I really appreciate the amazing quality you put in these videos. Just incase you don’t read my comment from last video I know you probably don’t like people always asking you to do things but if you ever want to in the future it would be amazing to see a dogfight between the A-4 and F-5 since they’re both from the era and are small aircraft it’d be a interesting fight.

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Thank you and no I never mind seeing suggestions in the comments I try to do as many of them as possible/is reasonable. I like the idea of a4 vs f5 so I’ll put it in the pipeline. Thank you again for your suggestion and for watching. Much love.

[@Aquascape_Dreaming]

Great suggestion! Hope we get to see this soon.

[@miker3866]

This video was action-packed but over flying the target with gun runs like that was risky as hell. lol

[@Aquascape_Dreaming]

Awesome video! That ending with the music and the external view of the Viper landing was so epic! Going from strength to strength... well done 🙂

[@N-L3]

Dude that music at the end!! Sheesh your music is incredible and only seems to be getting better and better!

[@autisticaeronaut]

I'm so proud of GS for finally waiting until he's not flying over the civilian area to jettison his tanks!

[@johnosbourn4312]

Good work, GS!!! You get another Air Medal for this mission.

[@rattleheadx]

Multi-role mastery! Loving all the mission-based content lately!

[@supermatt25]

Great video showing the capabilities of my favorite plane…the Viper is awesome

[@yellow_creeper11]

Very realistic combat scenario. I love these types of videos

[@davebartosh5]

That's a bad-assed paint job on that F-16!

[@Seigerootz]

I like hearing Jabba the Sidewinder during the slow mo portions

[@boumerguy7042]

As a non dcs player I’m amazed by these hostile missiles and rounds that always miss your aircraft. I wonder if you are very lucky or if it’s an oversight in game modules. I mean your F16 is a real ghost sometimes.

[@skenzyme81]

Nice, a proper Imperial mission.

[@turtuhl]

Amazing the F16 is still a beast. Nice vid!

[@FJFuentesCO]

Wow! Some video! Very exciting to watch!!!

[@justinpate7354]

That was fun to watch, a couple close calls there man

[@samuelrivera4542]

[@liiou4445]

Great video as always! that manpad near-miss really made me jump out of my seat 😂

[@Dude408f]

Thanks, this is very good! I'd love to see 4 F-16 and 4 F-18 in a mission against ground targets, Sukhois and Migs

[@mattdavis8899]

great as usual. I noticed you haven't done anything in the Hornet in a while.

[@KasperGamingVideos]

GS your vids are like my coffee in the morning keep it going man appreciate it.

[@f18-ice]

Great video as always love your channel

[@aceblaneescabusa5371]

What a thrilling mission to take. Last time, you did a gun strafe run using an F-22 on an enemy site. Why won't you do the same on a similar situation and map using a MiG-29 against an Su-57 Felon? I suggest for the 47th time to surprise us with your piloting skills! It was such a difficult flight you did back there GS!

[@DogRozan]

The F-16 ,when jettison the tanks, looks like someone rolling up his/hers sleeves for a fight

[@tomdarco2223]

Right on

[@icaleinns6233]

cool mission! Busy day for the Viper!

[@samucleta]

I'd love to see more landing footage like thiis at the end of the video!

Love the vids, brother! I was an F-15B, C, D, and E crew chief in Alaska with the Strike Eagle (90th AMU)(mudhen) and everything else at Nellis with the aggressor sqdn. I'm partial to the F-15E obviously, but love the A-10. Can you please post more mission vids of that and the 16 in this AK aggressor style livery? Pretty damn cool... See ya on the next one..Cheers! 😎

[@jh-gv6ug]

Ow man! nice one! what a great platform the F-16 is....I'm sorry to see it fased out in some air forces. This video shows it has a lot up its sleeve still.

[@ltjjenkins]

How comforting to have GS as a bodyguard.

[@clairecelestin8437]

This was a fun video. I enjoy when you have to prioritize in a complicated battlespace. Also... Are you BATMAN? How did those missiles not hit you?

Must be so freaking scary to man these SAMs on the ground and knowing that what's in the air is hunting you. Like standing in a field in the dark with a handgun and a flashlight and knowing you're circled by one, two, maybe three wolves.

I wonder what happens to the jettisoned fuel tanks. Is it possible to find some around training areas? Are they available on collectors' market? Does the air force try to locate, recover, and reuse them?

[@armhunter]

looks like a fun mission.

Did you see the video the other day of a HARM hitting an S-300? The video was shot from inside the cabin of the radar vehicle, but you can see the entire vehicle shake and break and begin to catch on fire. The operator bailed out a few seconds before the hit.
