hey id be very exited if youve would fight the f16 angainst the ef2000

[@trumanhw]

MORE MORE MORE Su-30sm ... but with YOU flying it 1st: You (Su-30sm) vs another Su-30sm (for a baseline of best of 5) 2nd: You (Su-30sm) vs the SAME PILOT in an F-22 (best of 5) 3rd: You (Su-30sm) vs the SAME PILOT in a Su-57 (best of 5) ... please. PS, I wish the F-16 had tracers

Every time I see Toxic flying in the opposing aircraft, I know both machines are going to be pushed to their absolute limit. That guy can fly... Nice Kills...

[@xierus]

Astounding proficiency once again, @GrowlingSidewinder! Your command of aerial maneuvers is remarkably instructive and intensely exciting to observe. I consistently gain new insights and remain utterly captivated by your aerial engagements. Eagerly anticipating your next showcase!

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Thank you for your kind comments, I continue to learn new things everyday and its nice to be able to share them here with you guys, thank you for watching.

Really impressive flying from Toxic, I know its really difficult to land those shots but he had so many near-misses I think he could've took this set 2-1 if not swept the Viper.

[@IEagleoneI]

that SU can made turns in one spot and put his nose on any directions, if you actually know how to fly this SU, so... land "hit" shots not so difficult, if you know how to fly this thing

F16 is one of the most versatile aircraft ever made. Wondering if DCS will get an update for the viper to the v/block 70-72 variant, which would make it even more capable in bvr

[@fillnc]

What are the differences?

[@xierus]

F-16s getting more upgrades? At this rate, they'll be brewing coffee and walking your dog while outmaneuvering missiles. Let's start a petition for a built-in espresso machine in the next block update! ☕✈ #ViperBarista

[@Rayzur.]

@@fillnc most notable ones are an aesa radar and a better datalink module. It also has a new display, similar to the f35’s display, and it’s placed under the hud, replacing the analogue gagues. It’s a pretty neat upgrade, i think lockheed martin made a post about it with more details

[@michaeld1170]

@@fillncblock 70 has AESA radar (better detection range and can detect low RCS better, less susceptible to jamming) It also has Viper shield EW suite, sensor fusion.

[@thejackofall_trade]

[@dariuszzukowski5244]

Jeesh, that was intense. I found myself sitting all tensed up and involuntarily twitching to avoid getting hit.

[@Galileo1491]

The su30sm is a su30 that has been upgraded to su35e standards which is basically 90's tech. The new su35sm has modernized airframe and engines saving several tons in weight with more thrust and supercruise ability. Also upgraded to su57 avionics and radars making it a true 4.5 gen. We need to see one of those modeled in DCS.

[@J_JetClips]

It can't happen because there's not much publicly available information for jets like that

[@flyingflem7365]

Brilliant! One of the best dog fights I've seen in DCS.🙌

[@prodbyelija]

Those were some slick manoeuvres from toxic. It looked like you were fighting a damn ufo!

[@whalehands]

It looks like he kept on taking shots with his back to the sun. It was hard to even see the rounds facing the sun. Great tactic i would have done.

I totally get the point you made the other day now! Nice fighting and flying!

[@likwidchris]

He definitely took some head-on shots there in the 2nd fight.

[@blshouse]

No, he didn't. He took broadside shots while GS' helmet HUD was looking at him. If you don't see the funnel, the bandit isn't in front of GS.

[@likwidchris]

@@blshouse what it again, @10:59 sure looks like a head-on shot to me. No where near a broadside shot.

[@sniperh2o325]

@@likwidchris id say he was pushing the limit of the head on rule but GS was far enough for it to possibly not be considered a head on. i dont think GS had the ability to actually pull him into the hud, just got close to it

[@stevenhartman2605]

TBH the no-headon policy doesn't make as much sense in a fight with aircraft that can just choose to point the nose from a defensive position, like at 17:43

[@sniperh2o325]

@stevenhartman2605 The no head on rule is to make sure there's no mutual kills. So even if it's done from what'd usually be a defensive position, it wouldn't really matter as it'll still end in a mutual kill, which wouldn't really be an interesting fight.

[@michaelknightmustdie]

You can almost hear the Russians, "C'mon, Mavski, do some of that thrust vectoring shit."

[@rring44]

When you got slow in that 1 circle in the second fight, I knew you were in trouble. That was an interesting fight.

[@markopolo9718]

There are a couple names I look for when GS credits the bandit and Toxic is definitely one. Great fights!

[@Jangotat01]

I would love to see a head to head fight where the jets have to face off at opposite ends of the runway, take off and then dogfight.

[@andersjjensen]

Toxic is SUCH a patient pilot. After three near misses in a row I would have gotten greedy with the nose and made a big mistake in exchange for still not hitting the target.

[@certinho76]

I love these two iconic birds. Hey GS. You think a fight between a F/A -18 Super Hornet versus a Su-30SM or a Su-33(if they have that variant out on DCS yet) would be good. I was thinking US Navy vs Russian Navy! Let's make it happen.

[@CollinTheSav]

Surprising that even losing as little as half a elevator throws stability of a VT-capable jet out of whack, effectively rendering it done for.

[@jintsuubest9331]

That's any modern fbw jet during maneuver. They are inherently unstable. It allows them to do pretty insane maneuver that non fbw jet cannot hope to keep up. But the problem is once you lose control surface during combat maneuver, you are done for.

[@firebald2915]

With that stabilizer missing, I believe the thrust nozzle cause the plane to flip. They work in unison... and that stabilizer went mia. But it looked to be totally recoverable otherwise.

[@TrueRaz]

Would like to see some mirror match-ups. Same plane on both sides.

[@Flyingcircustailwheel]

[@winstonsmith7801]

Nice fight! You picked a nice area for engagement. Which map and location is this?

[@OddBall1958]

So what would the F-16 be like with thrust vectoring? It is already an agile fighter as it is so now I'm just curious.

[@BeardedVet2803]

The camouflage paint scheme on the F-16, made me think of Iron Eagle

[@onenation3784]

Perfect example why the USA went with Momentum vs Acrobat meanuvers. Great kill 1st rd

[@Azframer]

Between the 1st 2 fights the time of fight was close. Do what you are normally trying not to do when trying to out rate him. Back off the throttle and pull a little harder and slow the Viper down.

[@fijianirie3569]

Sweet thank you Energy dogfighting Vs acrobatic leaf style dogfighting

[@edutaimentcartoys]

why do fighter planes not have a weapons system that fires backwards?

[@allizdog5927]

Because it would affect flight performance which outways the benefit and it would be unlikely to come down to a dog fight in real life in this day and age. More likely BVR.

[@icin4d]

Too bad one or two pylons weren't able to rotate 180 degrees.🤣
