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.

[@NisseROCKZ]

Those camera angles at the landing ! We need more Harrier content please!

[@parrettfamily4041]

Yes! Maybe more night ground attack stuff in the harrier!

[@TAINCER_]

You or whoever makes these thumbnails; They are always really good, love the style. I don't think I ever saw a comment about them in the comments, so I just wanted to say that I really like them. Especially with this video schedule.

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

I make the thumbnails so thank you I appreciate the feedback, I will try to make more like this in the future if possible, was just kind of trying out a new style to keep them fresh.

[@dapanda2068]

They do look really good

[@remain_]

GS is a class act with the presentation.

[@CivisMilitarum]

Really cool seeing these planes utilized as intended. They're so fluent in their jobs. Super Toucano vs WW2: Bandit Unknown? 👀

[@zachboyd4749]

She may be designated as an attacker but, just like grandma Skyhawk, she still has the heart of a dogfighter!

[@ThatGuy-cw8gb]

Just as a guy who spent some time working on military aircraft. The ground crews always appreciate it when you expend all the ordinance. Just avoids the hassle of safing the munitions and down loading.

[@Laerei]

Meanwhile, taxpayers and senate loves it when you get the job done with as little as possible.

Thank you for another video mate! I really appreciate you and the effort it takes to put up videos so often.

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Thank YOU for watching, you guys make it worth all the effort. Much love.

[@abdulmismail]

The Harrier and the MiG-21 were the first full fidelity modules I procured as well. But, for the first few weeks I became frustrated because everytime I increased throttle, my nose used to dive and I'd crash. So, I gave up on DCS for 4 months until someone told me that the Joystick bindings for throttle and pitch were probably the same. Guess what? Doh!

[@CraigAlderson]

Absolutely loved that nozzles down maneuver on that first Mig21. Exactly how the Sea Harriers used to take out the Argentinean Mirages and Sky Hawks during the Falklands conflict

[@Ghostrider-gn8ml]

Thank you for another great video. Finally you use the Harrier what she was designed for. I would love to see more video`s Harrier doing Harrier stuff. A close support mission for friendly ground units or something like that.

[@SeaWasp]

That first fight with the Mig-21 was spectacular. His wingman trying to nope off into the sunset was super funny, too! Thanks again man!

[@samduddington2886]

This is the video I've been waiting for in my life and I didn't even realise it! Love the Harrier. Great content as always :D I appreciate your efforts.

[@broneauell]

Honestly the Harrier lock tone in idle sounds like the guitar riff from Song for the Dead by QOTSA

[@michaelbrown9031]

4:52 in.... That exterior shot with the flares *chef's kiss*

[@jordandavis84]

LOVE the night fighting! As I’ve said before, one of the most underrated channels on KZbin. Seeing a fight where it’s dark enough to have to use NVG/thermals would be interesting also. Keep up the great videos!

[@bobdonovan34]

That's such an eerie sound when the sidewinder hits the target.

[@alextowers3564]

Oh my god no way, a harrier video? I've been wanting this for so long!

[@timsullivan4566]

G.S. : "Gee, I sure hope I can remember how to fly this thing!" [Proceeds to give a Master Class on the AV-8B Harrier] 😆😆😆

[@leonkenedy4616]

Beautiful bird. Every second could be an screen shot for a wall paper.

[@sirwhippamus]

Hey GS, i just wanted to day thanks man. Nobody gives you enough credit but you really do earn your paycheck. To know even 70% of EVERY dcs module is insane to me and i dont know if your just a genius, or your also on the spectrum, but you my friend have a gift. One that i will tune into for ever video, keep up the absolutely rock solid work, your killing it, and thank you for content we wouldnt get anywhere else.

[@DanBlake3rd]

Beautiful colors and flying in that video. The lighting was perfect.

[@Danko05]

Great video GS I really like the time setting, flying with the last of day light... Love it...!!!

[@thatguymitchthatguymitch5425]

As a harrier Aviation ordnance tech, thanks for this sick vid.

Love your work, man. You are a convincing ace

[@pigeonpoo1823]

I maintain the landing craft in Aliens was inspired by the Harrier

[@barbaros99]

Man, if that MiG-21 wingman had stuck with his leader, you would have been *toast* . Great job on the overshoot - hard to maintain closure when your target comes to an almost complete stop.

[@KKtheKitten]

Day one of asking AV-8B Vs F-35B in a dogfight

[@Xenomorphine]

Wouldn't that be like asking for a nuclear missile versus baby seal?

[@KKtheKitten]

@@Xenomorphine in a dogfight its more fair

[@mariuscatalin3195]

Love to see the harrier back on air ,but man i will love to see a dogfight between f35 B and harrier

[@Sithman1776]

I love the Harrier! Such a cool looking and unique little jet.

[@cikame]

Great to finally see the Harrier doing what it's supposed to :P, i find the little doritoes in the hud really help when looking for ground targets, i have no idea how that works i guess with the nose camera and clever software. I find it impossible to use Mavericks but it's an incredible bomb dropper and can carry an insane amount of rockets, i started with the A-10 for ground attacks but the extra speed and ability to land on ships makes the Harrier my favourite to use, though i do miss the helmet hud.

[@mal6232]

Gotta say I am loving the visuals at 2160p60..the shots of the Harrier at the start of the video are stunning.

[@grumpy2.0]

The mig bit post Tank, makes me think of the line, "Do some of that Pilot Sh*t!"

[@davidpalmer4184]

I absolutely love the Harrier! Some historic battles over the Falkland islands would be interesting, hint, hint.

[@dr.pastrami5272]

Those argentinians never saw it coming.

[@Laerei]

Another night op, can't get enough of these! Btw I can't believe F-35 which is slimmer and more aerodynamic gets a mean nickname "Fat Amy" but an actual fat and slow jet Harrier does not.

[@AShadowboxsFSX]

That thumbnail though. Nearly as awesome as the video itself.

[@sebastienhebert6794]

I was also wanting AV8B content ( AG stuff) and here it was. You are by far, the best DCS content creator out there. I learn something new in each videos. Thanks for pushing so much content. Much appreciated. You should do a series of AV8B AG stuff same as the A-10 .

[@PJoben]

The freaking battlefield anthem hits so hard every time never gets old. GS that was a particularly epic video hats off 🫡

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Thank you very much, I appreciate you.

[@jasoncollier4961]

Love your content! The thought of fighting with the harrier with the one 1000 pounder on the wing tho😅

"You are fired." "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

[@alexanderleach3365]

Awesome video, the power and ferocity of the AV-8V Harrier.😃

[@Paughco]

Good work! Glad you showed us the landing.

[@emmavaria]

I'd love to see a video of trying to intercept the venerable SR-71 Blackbird with the best technology 2023 has to offer. Does an updated MiG-31 with R-37s even stand a chance at Mach 3+ and climbing through angels 80? Modernised F-14 with AMRAAM-D3s, AMRAAM-ERs, or speculative AIM-260s?

[@rob9726]

The sound design of this game is crazy good!

[@paulhalforc1889]

Loved the ViF manoeuvre against the Mig21

[@johnnyporker8837]

That first fight with the mig21 was amazing

[@timbaskett6299]

I really think they should build a version of the Sidearm with the thrust vectoring of the AIM-9X.

[@SuperDerfmaster]

Not that it matters, but more for a fun fact. The harrier in this video is marked for VMAT-203. It was the the training squadron for all things harrier related. While I was in, they were the only harrier squadron that didn't radar birds, or night attack aircraft.

[@jachymtiger3663]

Anti-radiation Sidewinder's is something I didn't know existed. Initially, I thought that those were AIM-9C's

[@noiwonttellyoumyname.4385]

They left the factory as AIM-9C's, then later on were modified to be straight ARMs rather than SARH.

[@ericcallender1575]

Busy night. Thanks for sharing.

[@jamlarna]

When you absolutely positively need an overshoot....... except no substitute 😅 harrier all day 💪🏽

[@ConnieShearer-m1v]

The Harrier is one strange aircraft. It'll never be a favorite of mine, but it's kind of interesting.

[@SuperJeb98]

[@simonbarry6582]

Hey, great video, Harrier looks great at night in multi role. I know you like it, so this Brit would like to see you recover to carrier at end of mission 🤓

[@stufbaby]

Absolutely loving the night content!

[@christianemerson6184]

Hello there! One matchup that I don't think I've seen been done (my bad if I'm wrong) is the J-20 vs. the Su-57. Would love to see that!

[@snappers_antique_firearms]

I would love to see you go to a civilian dog fighting experience. They use extra 300s and other Arabatic planes to lazer dog fight. Another thing I know this would probably never happen, but you get one of those US airforce ride alongs. To see if the skills you have in DCS can translate to real life.

[@mikes8948]

"Fat Harriet" gets it done with the help of a little pilot skill

[@magnanimus9692]

The harrier always reminds me of Buzz Lightyear. (Something about the tubby shape and green lights... idk).

[@TheMagusOfTheMagnaCarta]

Changed my mind about the spitfire/felon thing.... A1 Skyraider vs A10 pleeeeeeaaaassse!! Send em up clean, load tracers on the A10 and let's get down to some real pew pew

Too cool for school. Is there a Sea Harrier FRS1?

[@sessions1617]

That was a bitchin move getting the mig to overshoot ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

[@Crane137]

Enjoyable video! I would have expected you, with two Mig 21s closing in, to have either dropped the remaining bomb on the same target or to have jettisoned it as dead weight before aerial combat?

[@blshouse]

Or maybe find a French embassy. ;-)

[@Uselessnoobcow]

Why did you lug that 1000lb with you in the dogfight? 😂

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

I didn’t want to have to answer to the taxpayer

[@Agilaz89]

Love me some Harrier content, though a bit disappointed by the lack of short take off or landing (it should be standard practice even on full length runways), or even a vertical landing (easier on a moving ship for practice). Also, the Harrier really hates uneven loads, so that Mk83 probably made your dogfight noticeably harder. I'll have to go fly it now after spending a week in the Hornet.

[@mailman35419]

The Battlefield theme at the end just hit so well

[@Anarchy_420]

Please fly The AV-8B VS The F-35B guns only!🙏👍

[@maximusatov4965]

Looks like you were dogfighting with a big fat bomb!

[@BobaFett895]

Excuse me…. The symbol on the Harrier at the beginning is VMAT-203- I was in that squadron. It’s a training squadron, what is going on xD
