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 prefer more up close and personal dogfights consider the IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battle series and experience intense WWII aerial combat over famous battlefields such as Stalingrad, Moscow, Rhineland and Normandy. Fight in and against Russian, American, German, British warbirds such as the P-51 Mustang, P-47 Thunderbolt, Bf-109, FW-190, Spitfire, Hurricane and rugged IL-2 Sturmovik attack plane. You can also fly legendary SPADS, Fokkers and Camels in WWI dogfights over the trenches of WWI and discover your inner Red Baron! And all of this can be experienced in jaw dropping virtual reality!
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.

I never had the eyesight to become a pilot, but the way you fly and describe what you are doing while flying is such good knowledge for gaming later on.

[@aidanpysher2764]

Watching *hours* of these videos is teaching me an extreme amount of fighter tactics, and I think it makes my job as a USAF ejection seat technician a bit more planted, especially what leads to my work needing to be used.

[@user-bd5md5cm2j]

Thankyou for your service. As a grunt, we sure appreciate air support.

[@cpfpv6410]

That tomcat paint scheme was on point! Loved the matching helmet in the mirrors as well.

[@debbiestimac5175]

@@himneeshchowdhary820 Girls like guys that are experts at things and like to teach others what they know, good father figures basically. Growling could look like a potato and women would find him interesting and awesome, because of the person he is. The aerial combat stuff is exciting and with modern graphics it is almost like watching an action movie. He's the "John Wick" of the sky, who wouldn't want to watch! 😉

[@joshuakatz4006]

Love the longer videos, thanks! So much fun to watch. I am in awe of your piloting skills. No less impressive are your abilities to narrate, explain, educate, and make high quality videos. No idea how you pull it all off, but I hope you keep it up!

[@bhampthechamp]

So I made it to that part where you asked "If you've watched this far." I appreciate the videos - its fun to learn and watch.

[@speedysloth1740]

Always watch the full vids. From the commentary to the cinematic cutaways to the tactics and debriefs, this channel is GOLD for the nuggets like myself. Just the casual but knowledgable things you narrate as they happen are always great ways to learn and improve. Thanks, GS!

[@c3lub]

Had a couple thoughts for possibly entertaining fights. 1. A three-way fight where each opponent at first has an assigned target. Paper/rock/scissors until one is dead. 2. A championship style closing 1 on 1 or scrum where Fox3 kills are worth say 1 point, Fox2 kill is worth more, and Guns kill worth more than Fox2. Total score after X# rounds.

[@clarkpartin5748]

So glad to see a Tomcat dogfight. Absolutely love that fighter. Keep up the good work GS

[@arizonaav8or399]

I love the longer videos! It totally makes my day when a new GS video pops up on my notifications tab! Growling Sidewinder, your content has become so professional, useful, and extremely entertaining! I’m a life-long fan. Thanks for doing what you do! ❤️

[@bargunner]

I love the longer fights! I also love to watch your struggle to make the F-14 a lethal weapon.

[@tsukemono1]

Your efforts in making these longer vids DO NOT go unnoticed. VERY much appreciated!!

[@sgt.grinch3299]

My Grandson and I watch your videos. We are both F-14 fans so I had to purchase the Cat hoodie. Thanks for the excellent videos. We use them as a way to connect and share an interest.

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

thank you for supporting the channel, plenty more tomcats to come in the future, much love.

[@debbiestimac5175]

9:45 was like whoa! He's going to either crop dust or smack the ground! Then I thought that his consequent low altitude ejection, was going to be the top cinematic for the fight and then Growling must have said to himself... "You know what would put the cherry on top of this round? A Top Gun style cinematic pass by the camera man... let's just put that at 10:40. Niiiice." Beautiful jet, beautiful paint scheme and a victorious Growling! We didn't get Top Gun 2 in the theatres, but Growling Sidewinder certainly is trying to give the audience what we don't get from Hollywood anymore, epic and immersive, edge of your seat entertainment!

[@konanoobiemaster]

dude love the longer videos. i really enjoy the real-time technical analysis & breakdowns. thank you!!

[@barrylucas8679]

My dude, all of us enjoy the longer videos! This is a real teaching channel as well as an entertaining one.

[@SpecterSeventy2]

As a kid, I always looked at the F-15 as the lesser cool non-swing wing F-14. Lol

[@martinsv9183]

My fav was F15 since it was the fastest of all and looked sleeker.

[@SpecterSeventy2]

@@martinsv9183 Honestly though, my understanding is that the F-15 was the no compromises performance (*like having to be adapted for carrier landings) air superiority fighter.

[@jamesj.7750]

Who doesn't stick around? Especially with you in the Tomcat.

[@coz6908]

I love the longer vids, keep making those videos! Two of my favorite fighters, but whoever was flying the F-15 wasn't very good. Just goes to show pilot skill is important.

[@davidcole8448]

There was no pilot operating the eagle, this guy set it up so a p-51 would have won the engagement.

Thanks for posting! I, for one enjoy the longer videos. The Tacview is always interesting and pretty informative, having a chance to dissect the dogfight moment by moment gives different perspective than when you're in the middle of it. Ps: your mouse handwriting is impeccable.

[@tonyrun5802]

F-15 vs F-14 is always a great fight, especially when good pilots are involved. In this case, I think it's fair to say that you were the better pilot.

[@paulf1389]

This is another thing i would like to see implemented in DCS, in round 1, the last missile that the F-15 threw at you, the missile was close enough for the proximity fuze to activate.

[@Mobius118]

I was thinking the same thing

[@WillArtie]

Surely they have implemented that? Wonder why no bang. Good observe.

[@Inf4rno]

I always appreciate the high quality with this channels videos and will always say you deserve more recognition for it my man. You always stay humble and focus on improving and learning from your mistakes Instead of getting salty. I'm a war thunder 1v1 duelist that doesn't even play DCS and I still love to watch these videos to analyze the duels, improve my skills and occasionally share a laugh when a missile hits you right in the face :)

[@richardweite3502]

Great video! Really points out how evenly matched most 4th and 5th gen fighters are in a 1v1 fight, and how it comes down to pilot skills and knowledge of his or her aircraft capabilities as well as the opponent’s aircraft and pilot capabilities. The TacView is a great supplement to your lessons as well. I’d love to see some demonstrations of 2v2 dogfights if you can ever put that together with your buddies like Longshot, but I’m sure that’s challenging from a logistics standpoint. Great work as always- thanks!

Most folks know the F-14 came out of the failed F-111B project for the Navy, but most don't know the Navy was who mandated the side by side seating the F-111 ended up with, and then the Navy switched back to tandem seating. I think they did it to sink the F-111B, as they didn't want the SECDEF to dictate what airplane they got.

[@user-fw2dd2cy3c]
