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.

Would definitely be different and interesting, would be interested to see where it goes

[@LeonardoSantos-ex4wu]

it would be super cool.

[@Joey_Freshwater]

That would be awesome if GS started an organic 'campaign' of sorts. This starts the crisis. The USAF scrambles 2-4 more F15s, Russian and/or Syria scamble reinforcements for the lone SU. Maybe even have a couple of players hop in as Israeli aircraft shadowing the action. Let it play out naturally based on what the players do. For example if the Russian players misidentify and fire on the Israelis shit hits the fan even more. Could thrown in some strike missions as retaliation, etc. Doesn't have to be crazy long expanding into WW3, but have small scenarios like this. Another involving the Senkakus with Chinese and Japanese aircraft, India v Pakistan, Iran v Saudi etc. This has a lot of potential if GS is interested and can get a dozen or so players together. Hell he could even invite fans that are of 'questionable' skill to fly Syrian and North Korean aircraft for example to pad the aircraft numbers lol

For real. That nose grazing by GS on the transport plane is a total no-no. The transport pilot must have gotten angry and must have told the Flanker to shoot the F-15 down.

[@Lyvey]

I love the concept of having a sensitive mission like this where you have an objective but don’t want to set off WW3. I’d love to see this from the defender’s POV. Where you try to chase off a NATO or Russian aggressor from some kind of transport plane. Maybe the enemy is already at your friendly plane and is harassing it and you have to intercept then chase the fighter off. Keep up the great content as usual

[@ultraprim]

Vouch

[@BessotenJenny]

I remember a mission, either in LOMAC or the original Flaming Cliffs, where you flew an Israeli F-15C intercepting some transport carrying a POI and had to force it to land. There was some random chance that it would either comply or not and if not you'd have to shoot it down and deal with any interceptors sent after you. One of my favorite missions to replay as a newbie 'cause it had everything, following waypoints, formation flying, combat (if things went south) and AWACS intercepts.

[@Tiro_Chopper]

Wish we had that in DCS nowadays

[@viktor_v-ughnda_vaudville_476]

It would be awesome if this was the first chapter in a story timeline of escalation between GS nation and the enemy

[@MidnightSlayz]

I agree

[@Galactipod]

Or the second.

[@danpatterson8009]

Seems like the first missile was also a warning if it was launched too close to go active.

[@karjalasta]

Yep. That's what I thought!

[@yehia4638]

That's what I thought too

[@TurboHappyCar]

It was tracking, just inside the min-range. Once somebody launches a missile with a live warhead, we're not friends anymore. 😂

[@helplmchoking]

@@TurboHappyCar I'd wager GS pulling that "headbutt" on the transport was the end of being friends lol ignored all the warnings and forced the Flanker's hand

[@OompaL0ompa]

I mean, he kept firing after the first missile, so i don't think it was a last warning.

[@Miranda_Ghost]

I loved that! It reminded me of trying to communicate with sea creatures underwater. You see them, they see you...and then they fire missiles after a while as well.

[@AugustSchroif]

Were you messing with the submarines?

[@angrypandaification]

When you pulled in front there, that's considered an "unsafe intercept tactic" called headbutting... Look up "Russian fighter headbutts B52" to see what it looks like from the intercepted aircrafts view... Scary stuff. Great video GS!

[@jaredc1735]

Man I’ve really been liking the BVR and these scenario type videos. Great stuff!

[@abrandenburg10]

I appreciate the lesson in starting global conflicts. I will definitely use this in the future

[@SupaMan2122]

Most casual “he just fired a missile at me” you’ve ever heard

[@DanielCPhillips]

I think that the Flanker gave you plenty of warning - you got so close to the transport that you could have easily had an air to air collision with it. Even after getting on your six and locking you, which was an " You have guns and missiles pointed at your head asshole - time to leave, or else!", you kept coming back. I think that the Russian fighter pilot in this Flanker was pretty restrained, disciplined and patient with you - in the words of someone earlier in the thread " showed the patience of a saint"! . A flight like this the Ilyushin transport might have only had supplies, but to warrant a fighter escort, was more likely carrying diplomatic passengers. In which case, messing with a transport with Sergey Lavarov, the Russian cabinet minister for foreign affairs on board, could easily trigger a military response. Your demise in this simulation, was the fittingly darwinian result of a learning impediment being weeded out of the herd....! 🤣🤣🤣

[@helplmchoking]

Yep, the Flanker was very patient, gave 3 warnings with flares, pushed GS away when he got close, gave him the radar warning to get the hell out and only engaged when he came back and pushed in front of the transport (which is an unsafe intercept, more than just harassing them and reaching into becoming a threat). GS ignored him enough that he basically HAD to treat him as a threat that had to be removed and went for it. Best case her is a lot of very unhappy calls from Russia to NATO, a lot of apologizing from NATO and the whole thing kept quiet since GS was clearly the agressor and forced the Flanker's hand. Worst case is probably not worth imagining lol

[@surt2083]

Crossing the nose of that transpor = attacking the transport. That was beyond just getting him away from his destination xD

[@Falkirion]

Honestly kudos to the Sukhoi for holding off shooting you as long as he did. Do love the re-enactment of the B-52 intercept turn you pulled on the IL-78

[@radioactive9861]

Dammit GS...I was hoping when you pulled up along side the IL that you would 'barrel roll' over it...THAT would have been COOL...

[@GGshep]

I have no idea why but watching 2 airplanes with the ability to start another world war be assholes to one another is the funniest shit I've ever seen.

[@oscarzheng9902]

it looked like the flanker and the eagle were both escorting the transport because the flanker didnt try to push the eagle off or anything, well until gs got aggressive

[@jakedub7453]

Normally videos don’t excite me too much, but creating a pucker factor like this has to be a little more fun for you too! You two went into a scissor and a he fired at you I was like OH SHIT and was on the edge of my seat hoping you’d splash both.

[@sterilyte]

I feel like this would make a great scenario in a larger campaign. You know, a series of escalating mission that start out as flying patrols, doing intercepts like this, doing the transport escort yourself, and eventually it goes hot.
