This Is How Stealth Makes The F-22 Raptor The Best | Taking On The F35, F18, F15 and F16 | DCS |

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Check out the Merch Store: growling-sidewinder.creator-spring.com Thank you guys for watching a little F-22 fun for today, please keep in mind the F-22 Is simply based off of publicly available information, and does not represent the true and classified nature of the F-22 Raptor, this is simple the best we have at this time.

[@StraightFocusedPhotography]

@Shubhabrata banerjee x2. I’d like to see this also.

[@FullBoltOnRacing]

Can you imagine what the real F-22 actually can do when it’s flown to the maximum and not limited to safe guard it’s abilities

[@Stinger522]

@Growling Sidewinder. Now we need a video of the Raptor going to town on Fulcrums, Flankers, and JF-17s.

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Lol we don’t talk about that here.

[@stinkyfungus]

@@GrowlingSidewinder Oh yes we do... Along side Jester pre ejecting because you got too close to the ground, the splashed F18 collecting its ejected pilot, and most of the "two morons" collection... That goes down as "one of the funniest things I've seen in a GS video"

GS no longer satisfied with kills. It’s now psychological - humiliate and burn into memories of all their pilots, “We fight at a time and a place of MY choosing. You can run but you can’t hide. You remain alive until *I* decide otherwise. *I* own the place.” (Generally followed by GS laughing on the radio.)

To sum up the F-22 in combat: The F-22 against regular opponents is playing a first-person-shooter Regular opponents against the F-22 are playing survival horror

[@MrSweetactionjackson]

Reverse the situations and the F-35 takes out 2 F22 taking off...that was just situational given both are stealth so the F-35 would oof got as close undetected.

[@bananomet4052]

[@Galf506]

remember these jets in DCS are made of make believe fairy dust. the F-22 is emitting and he does not get tagged by AA...

[@Chuck_Hooks]

@American Might Yes. F-35s especially are referred to as "quarterback," using their long range sensors and networking with other F-35s to provide a common operating picture for all Allied 4th generation aircraft Would like to get a sense of how F-35s directing F-15EX and other Allied aircraft would look in various scenarios.

[@FDFANATIC541]

yes

[@ImperiumLibertas]

@@lat78610 the F-15EX will be carrying AIM-260 which have an effective range of over 100 miles. The F-15EX acts as a missle truck while the F-35s provide guidance for missles launched from the F-15s. Additionally, the next generation AWACS can provide guidance for the AIM-260 missle until it goes pitbull for terminal guidance. That means that aircraft will shoot missles without a lock performing a handoff to the guiding aircraft.

[@baomao7243]

GS: Let’s take 6 fox shots. If the 4th bandit gets away … “…I may have to engage him with a 9x.” (Nope, Never mind.) The ability of the F22 to engage en masse with essentially ZERO warning is just devastating.

[@knightsofthesky]

[@deadlybladesmith3093]

F-15EX carrying a few missiles and a bunch of CM pods (can the 15EX do that?) to be the missile magnet, then the 22 and 35 to be the left and right hooks from nowhere.

[@LRRPFco52]

Nobody in USAF or Air National Guard wants F-15EX. F-15EX is a non-starter, politically-mandated, budget-sucker that has little relevance in the future. USAF never asked for F-15EX, but was told by SECDEF Shanahan and Boeing shill Adam Smith HASC Chairman they were getting it. Governors and Congressmen are fighting to keep their ANG bases from getting F-15EX. They all want F-35As.

[@vincebermudez869]

@@its_supzz absolutely true!!

[@williamthornton5856]

Yes, your correct.

[@mytech6779]

But the same is true for the opponents. Even old F16 have advanced support from new missiles, ground based systems, and AWACS.

[@williamthornton5856]

@@mytech6779Yes, True to "an extent". I worked with the F 15 and its engines and intantaneous turn rates and even its speed from public access sources is, well "conservative", but not as conservative as listed for the F 22. The F 16 benifits from the the same engines, and usaully has the EEP versions, moreso than the F 15. However, the Raptor has a wider range of kinematic, avionic, and even its all aspect stealth is considerably better than puplic access sources to a larger degree than the F 18/16 or 15 true capabilities are. It's true nose pointing capabilty is classified, but its way better than the 34+ deg in DCS, hint hint. Forget the two circle F 16 versus F 22, the Viper would stand no chance. Its stealth is better than the data points DCS is using. Even from WVR, radar guided stuff is still challenged. The synergistic all aspect stealth, supercruize, super manueverability, battle field air to air networking make a higher synergy than for 4th or the 4.5 gen fighters. Even its publically listed supercruize speed is "conservative" . Mach 1.5 even several sources listing 1.8 is well, its true at lower altidudes. I'll leave it at that. Bottom line is the Raptor is purposely underated moreso than any other fighter. As a former Air Force officer, I also worked with the SR 71, I will just blatantly say its true service ceiling is way north of 100 k feet, without saying what it is. Depends on Latidude as well. Its top speed is still classified, but its alot more than the 3.5 or 3.58 that even the SR pilots have "alluded to". It has another operating range as a near pure ramjet not talked about well above what any afterburning turbo jet can do, including its own J 58s. If they really only had flown mach 3.5 and a measily 85 -86 k feet, some would have been shot down. None were, but they were fired on, alot.

[@squuupalbania-skycombat4643]

The fact that now you zoom in the radar in the intense situations is super cool! Thanks for putting out here such great videos and always trying to make it better for us!

[@swissfreek]

2:35 OMG the shot of the F-22 swooping in behind the JSF as it rolls. Talk about maximum disrespect.

[@chill1233]

It’s cool seeing the f-35 in vids, although the fact that it’s just skin deep with no stealth/ other tech makes it a little less fun for me personally.

[@ShooterAK]

the battlefield 3 music makes this video so good. nostalgic.

[@taurusbelos6479]

Just speaking for me personally, the f22 is my favourite aircraft! You flying it in open lobbies is the content I need more of…. Personally!

[@Bad_Wolf_Media]

I'm not surprised by the (DCS, at least) capability of the F-22, but I was a little shocked there wasn't even a blip over the "red guy" airfield when you opened the weapons bay. It wouldn't have been long enough for a lock, but not even a chirp....

[@dsdy1205]

Keep in mind that even in the open position the bay doors have sawtoothing, RAM, and a whole bunch of other design features to minimise RCS as much as possible, and from a frontal/side-on aspect it's quite conceivable that the messy bay innards are simply obscured by the stealthy body of the aircraft

[@kerbalairforce8802]

If the pilot knows where the radar is, they can cant the open bays away from the station.

[@samuelzuleger5134]

So about 20 years ago, somewhere over the Nevada desert, test pilots did this exact thing pitting F-15s and F-16s against F-22s. The squadron rotated pilots so that everybody got to fly each plane a few times. The F-22s never got shot down because the F-16s and F-15s could never find them. The only complaints on the F-22 side were mechanical issues (the F-22 was still relatively new) and that there simply weren't enough missiles as the other pilots could jam, flare, or chaff out of locks from time to time.
