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.

Love that the two you snuck up on survived; they'll be able to tell everyone what happened.

[@trealosgaming3345]

That seen reminded me of the star wars trench run. "Lost starsky, lost hunch. Came from behind."

[@akka8588]

It never gets old seeing GS sneak up on enemy fighters with the F-22 and the fact that this is based off of what the Air Force is willing to release to the public makes the F-22 probably more terrifying in actual combat. Plus seeing him sneak up oon those two J-11s at the beginning of the video reminded me of the time that 2 F-22s snuck up on 2 Iranian F-4 phantoms, looked at their armaments and ttold them to go home. Also I'm questioning whether what GS did to that AWACS requires a review of the Geneva convention 😂😂.

[@KevinHuangPhasorQuantaG]

I mean, at least he gave them a chance to bail out, so there's that! 😂

[@akka8588]

@@KevinHuangPhasorQuantaG true, he did give them a chance, but still I feel like he was pushing the limits there😂

[@eldonrollins162]

Just thinking about strategy; would it have made a more intense outcome if the F-18s had split into a forward and aft group? The forward group fires first, then 5-10 minutes later the second group dispatches their harpoons. While the carrier escorts are busy defending the first group of harpoons, the stealth AGMs hit and disable all the escorts. The escorts are now unable to defend the second group of harpoons, putting more ordinance on the carrier. Just a thought.

[@user-gs5np7tv3c]

also the Chinese anti-missle system may not be that effective. They are based on S-300 if I remeber correctly.

[@Kermit670]

Far better to overestimate your enemies capabilities than to underestimate them@@user-gs5np7tv3c

@@azmodanpc what empire has universal health care?

[@azmodanpc]

@@Joseph_HamiltonNone, that's my point. Welfare state requires resources that empires invest into military forces and influence. The US has a modicum of welfare due to the ravages of the Great Depression but it's heavily privatized and far from EU standards. Russia is a joke and so is China. With the difference that Russia's military is heavily underperforming due in no small part to corruption and China's is untested (and heavily corrupted too).

That last shot of you flying under the overturned exploding chopper was awesome!

[@pauljs75]

Surprised there weren't any E/A-18Gs in the mix, because those could help with both the AWACs and ship based radar situation and and make the F-22 even more imbalanced on top. I suppose that would even be more lopsided than this scenario.

[@corvanphoenix]

Marines have them, so I agree. The problem is maybe how EW is modelled (or not modelled) in DCS.

[@dsdy1205]

yeah, realistically if you dumped an AGM-158 into mach 9.0 wind the RAM coating would burn off before the wings could pop out, and then the rest of the missile would follow quickly

[@justcommenting4981]

Eh...I think the Chinese are more disciplined about military secrets than Americans, but in either case I'm sure there is a lot we don't know such that this would not be very instructive. Maybe if he posts enough videos of them getting washed they will be goaded into a "well ackshually..."
