[@nickbell3014]

The eagle fighting with a messed up wing, winning, and landing is the most badass thing I've seen yet

[@The1980Philip]

GS used the original Top Gun move in round 3. He hit the brakes and the F15 flew right by him.

[@thebushwook1e]

Tom cruise moment

[@Owl-cj3fu]

The F-14 always looks like it's got a mind of its own.

[@KergylKraft]

I love watching GS dominate in the Tomkitty, and then I hop in the F-14 on my own and do the same style fight with not quite as good results. All that goes to show, is that Growling Sidewinder is incredibly good at dogfighting.

[@Clawed9]

Hot damn, that Cobra maneuver was something else! I would like to see the 3rd person view of this whole fight please!

[@carolinedesneval8118]

The F15 landing with 3/4 of a wing, cobra of the Tomcat. Fantastic vid keep up the good work love your content.

[@davidbonds3202]

What an excellent video/pairing! The length of round 1 and the back and fourth, the Eagle coming back from the brink in Round 2, and finally the cobra for the win in Round 3! I enjoy all your dogfight videos, but this has to be one of the best.

[@PhillipChalabi]

I was prepared to be a little let down when he took your 6 in round 3. You snatched victory right out of the teeth of defeat. Perfection on utilizing the cobra, you were cooked otherwise, and like you always say you only pull that maneuver when you are out of options. Awesome fight!

[@terminusarms113]

Wow, Bane really gave a great performance in this one. It's awesome to watch two pilots at the top of their game nearly evenly matched.

[@elnach3240]

Not only will the Tomcat do everything, it will look good doing it.

[@drksideofthewal]

I like how each aircraft was able to showcase its “signature move.”

[@MCA2A]

I can't believe they have never made a Super Tomcat with stealth, updated systems, etc. Not only was the F 14 the coolest fighter, but one of the best designs.

[@ICECAPPEDSKY]

The thing is about the Tomcat is it probably wouldn’t have been replaced by the F/A18 on mass if the F14 was a fixed wing aircraft. A lot of the F14’s performance comes from it’s variable geometry but that same feature also dug it’s grave in terms of cost and maintenance

[@curtisjordan5303]

"Let's do a cobra". Strait savage. This was awesome.

[@KenVic02]

Silly question perhaps, but I noticed the F-14 in DCS and even in the original Top Gun movie makes a point of showing a lot of buffeting/vibration from within the cockpit. I've not seen it much on the other DCS fights on this channel. Is that unique to the F-14 more so than other planes? Perhaps only when the wings are in low speed mode, etc? Great post as always.

[@avramnovorra]

Been a while since i could watch DCS content again, but man i love me some ratefighters in the F-14 and -15, it's always a guessing game who'll slot into whose 6.. also, im hoping for the day we get the F-14D and get that sweet blue paint scheme ive seen of those in

[@heathb4319]

AS much as you love the TomCat...just know we love you for flying it for us. Always fun to watch and learn from you.

[@edgarlegendre7658]

Woaaw that cobra you pulled was so beautiful to look at : amazing last fight and great video

[@dystopianlucidity4448]

Good showing here by Bane! Flying the Eagle to her limits! Great job dude!

[@koffeekorner4207]

I actually like the BFM gunfights more than BVR. That's what dogfights were in World War 2, World War 1, and the Korean War.

[@Wubs4Scrubs]

Thanks for including the landing after that second fight. Was curious to see if he'd manage to land.

[@dloreanwiz]

Love the spoilers working at 6:51. Also love the Tomcat “buffeting” that feels like the aircraft is about to shake itself apart.

[@travissmith5011]

"Maverick makes an aggressive vertical move here, and defeats the bandit..." -Charlie (partial quote)

[@Orca19904]

"With a missile shot."

[@rangerrick8220]

One would think Tom Cruise should be able to get his hands on an old F-14 somewhere....

[@ICECAPPEDSKY]

It’s not that he couldn’t. It just wouldn’t be flight worthy, the only F14’s left that are flightworthy are in Iranian service. All museum pieces and F14’s in the boneyard have been stripped of components

[@elidawn4971]

Great show. 14v15 is awesome. Two cold war era beasts. And the F-15 was designed with a lifting body. The fuselage alone provides about 30% of its lift.

[@ICECAPPEDSKY]

The F14 has very similar lift properties which contributes to their similar flight performance

[@everettgihring8099]

Props to the F-15 for fighting the first round with gear down

[@Andy_XT]

Thanks for these vids. I really love the guns-only fights- The 3rd round was legendary! Love the Cat!

[@cr4sh0verr1de6]

A very cool issue! Thank you for your work! Tomcat is an amazing aircraft that, with the right approach, will reward you with pleasant emotions.

[@98mi]

Hey GS, the new AOA Buffet option may give you an advantage in combat, it is alot less shaky and smoother than the old one. It's in the special options menu under F-14.

[@DatDarkOne]

Me: Sees GS made a new Tomcat vid. GS: I'm gonna do a cobra in a Tomcat and succeed. Me: O.O

[@rickyquinteros7100]

I love how in the span of a few seconds you decide that a cobra is optimal and it works. That’s some real Tom Cruise stuff right there

[@joshpeterson2451]

GS, I know you said you didn't prefer them, but it'd be great to see you load up 15 AIM-152 GDW AAAMs on an F-14D Tomcat and take on a bunch of Flankers or Fulcrums over the ocean, or something like that. It'd be awesome to see a quasi-Super Tomcat 21 in action!

[@bruennlein]

"When I hit the brakes he´ll fly right by!" I´ve never expected that Top Gun move to be working. Nice!

[@morphene1k]

That Eagle with the damaged wing! What a machine!

[@rickybobby9649]

Hey GS. Can we get more WW1 action? Something about pushing those primitive fighters to their limits is really interesting.

[@marsdeimos4301]

Eagle: "Tis but a scratch!"

[@mikeyhbr]

GGs. Nice use of diff thrust. Glad you put that trick in your bag!

[@SVTL4799]

Talking about guns only, patience, and loving an airplane that’ll do what you tell it to do even if it means breaking the aircraft (no FCS), you’d think we’d see more WWII stuff!

[@rbigg]

When he had your six in the last round, I thought it was done. Great timing on that cobra.

[@Nackenzwei]

@11:30 Man, you practically did "the move" and made it work :D

[@lordhickory3322]

13:00 you gave that eagle a nice new afterburner there, how nice of you!

[@superscort57]

Great video. Tomcat has always been my favorite

[@corvette7784]

I think they could have run with the Super Tomcat F-14 with update avionics

[@johnhermann7498]

The Tomcat never ceases to entertain!

[@Lemmiiiiii]

IDK if that has been brought up before, since you mentioned you using differential thrust in the F14, would it be possible to implement the controls overlay in some form? I think that would make it a lot easier to understand and learn from your tactics :)

[@lethall6609]

Dcs adding those little details like the ahaking sound when turning hard is just crispppp😍

[@RybecFromCanada]

Can never get enough of the rattling and squeaking in the hard turns.

[@Lancemendonca]

I like your reasoning for the gunfight, I think it would be cool to see how hard a fight would be if it was F14 vs. F14

[@1993_Mitsubishi]

You actually taught me something growling sidewinder to treat any jet you fly with love.

[@pangandalf1529]

Thank you for this and much more videos about F-14, it's really majestic piece of aircraft

[@948320z]

I literally said out loud "you what?" like Goose/Rooster at the screen when GS said he's gonna do a cobra lol

[@peatbogg3688]

To quote Mal Reynolds, "You know what the first rule of flying is?"

[@tejasviroyal8977]

Its name is Tom"cat" but gives its all like a best boy named Tommy. 🐕💯 The video worth waiting for. Excellently executed, GS! 🔥

[@timsullivan4566]

Solid entertainment - thanks, GS!

[@elijahbrown3306]

YES, DOGFIGHT. I love all your stuff but I still love the dogfights the best

[@TOPGUNKHA]

4:52 why’d the Eagle have his land gear out ?

[@nvb9218]

Landing gear down during combat is sometimes used to indicate a wish to surrender, but IDK why the Eagle pilot'd do that in a DCS fun dogfight.

[@strider0303]

I absolutely LOVE the outtro music in this video

[@TheBigJil]

Day 76 for asking for the F/A 18 Super Hornet VS the SU 27 BVR fight. Use the hornet and I watch all you vids😢

[@epicboi3213]

it would really be interesting indeed

[@xxsuperdestroyerxx9258]

Come on sidewinder, give the man his request 😢😢

[@Wolfe351]

nice to see you pull the Cobra with a bit of Altitude to play with......plenty of recovery room if it doesn't go to plan!!!

[@lwrncschmchr]

I mean you're just a really good pilot. It's fun to watch and especially to know you're still a Cat Person.

[@James-bw4np]

That was an unexpected Cobra there! nice flying!

[@cszabo8899]

Great flying by BANE in his stricken Eagle.

[@francecsomartinelli1058]

This is one of most beautiful dogfight i’ve ever seen!

[@silentone11111111]

Big planes, you really feel the presence. Loved that cobra. Lol

[@adamtheninjasmith2985]

It was as much luck as skill but that cobra bro! Man that was a piece of art.

[@colombanoalessandro]

Beautiful touch to see the Eagle landing back at base ❤

[@miketwain202]

Wow, that was about as exciting as it gets… What a match! I felt like I was a screaming RIO. Anybody that doesn’t gel with the Tom is dead inside. Lol.

[@kyokushinkuma]

Everyone underestimates the Tomcat, but, big girl can move.

[@patopato9668]

11:28 Rooster: "C'mon GS, do some pilot shit"...GS: "ill do a cobra and he will fly by...wow it worked!!!!"

[@shazmodeus2795]

really missed an opportunity to edit in the Top Gun orchestral theme when you pulled that cobra maneuver 😂😂

[@gigachad1939]

The last round was chef's kiss

[@DriveCarToBar]

The swing wings on the Tomcat, while one of its great assets, also hurts it in a couple areas. The maintenance of the hydraulic systems was a nightmare, but it also means you can't hang any ordnance on them. Makes you wonder if Grumman had eliminated them for a Supertomcat, if it would have swung things in its favor away from the fat hornet. Stick a set of F4 Phantom wings on the Tomcat and see how she looks.

[@obwan5101]

Classic line, "Hold this 20mm for me." 😂

[@einfisch3891]

entertaining fights to watch, that cobra was a thing of beauty

[@fubaralakbar6800]

F-15: "Even I can't survive a double engine fire." A-10: "Keep practicing kid, you'll get it!"

[@Mattie_LIGHT]

The F-14 vs F-15 showdown is a very similar rivalry to the camaro vs mustang showdown for car guys. You’re going to have divided audience!

[@bestskateboreder]

That F15 kill was sick was wing onfire and still got to take you down just awesome but also the F14 was amazing

[@wicky383]

Great Vid. Be interesting to see the F-35 take on the F-18

[@eric97909]

Great video GS, and what a way to end the fight!

[@heretolevitateme]

Tim Robbins, from somewhere way off camera: "You're gonna do WHAT?!?"

[@SynchronizorVideos]

To paraphrase from an interview I watched with an old Tomcat pilot: "She dances pretty good for a fat girl."

[@rob6345]

Maneuver Unlocked: "I'm going to hit the brakes and he'll fly right by"

[@N8TheSnake]

Bro that Cobra maneuver was fuckin sick 😂😂😂😂 nice win!

[@true_neutral3378]

The F14 rattling is really funny lol, you're really pushing it

[@KraigZero]

11:32 HE PULLED A MAVERICK!!! IT WORKED!!!

[@auqanova]

if youd like another aircraft that would do anything and kill itself trying, you could turn off the fcs in the hornet. its basically like flying in a permanent flanker cobra mode, so its not exactly easy to use. ive had some fun with it in mid fight reversals though.

[@sokratisbairaktaris6345]

ALWAYS THE BEST THING ON KZbin BY FAR!!!!!!!!😃

[@KirShizzle]

GS literally said, "I'll hit the brakes and he'll fly right by"

[@cliffsta87337]

That was freakin awesome. I love the f14.

[@JamesW81]

I love the Tomcat. Wish i could fly her as well as you do though!

[@bobbyshaftoe]

These never get old.

[@covahredro8370]

"Secret technic land gear" "What's it do?" "Its a secret"

[@garyhendershot9153]

The old Tom Cruse maneuver... I'll just hit the breaks and he'll fly right by...

[@jonnyj.]

11:31 that was so badass :D

[@romanpotichko509]

Good fight! Btw I observe more and more fights where Cobra becomes an ultimate maneuver... 🤔

[@sleepingninjaquiettime]

Landed with a wing on fire? Pretty impressive really. I know on KZbin people make up their own cool sounding call signs (lame) but that feat deserves a name change. Unofficially thats what would happen in the real world.

[@adambabcock3569]

A successful Cobra!!!! Lol dude your laugh when pulling it off hahaha

[@augustborgen7193]

Best fight I’ve watched yet!

[@jared5862]

Loved the cobra! Great job
